Mon: 230 lbs.
It's getting really hard to run, what with the holidays and family and a thousand other things. I seem to have plateaued around 228 lbs. to 231 lbs. Guess it's time to start smoking crystal meth!
Anyway, here's a few B-Movies that i really like:
1. "Phantom of The Paradise" - Early DePalma is awesome DePalma. He hadn't gotten a chance to suck yet. The film is basically a rock opera version of Phantom of The Opera meets Faust with an awesome glam rock soundtrack. Paul Williams plays a record exec who sells his soul to the devil for success. He wrote and sings a lot of the music, and he also happens to be the writer of "The Rainbow Connection." Totally over the top.
2. "Coffy" - Pamela "Motherfucking" Greer is Coffy. This is the best blaxsploitation flick i've ever seen. It's terrifically un-PC in every way possible. Oh, and look for a young Sid Haig in a supporting thug role.
3. "Lifeforce" - The movie that killed Tobe Hooper's career was originally supposed to be called "Space Vampires," and that would have been just as awesome. Look for Patrick Stewart coming on to another man, a shitload of nudity, and soundtrack by Henry Mancini.
4. "Zombi 2" - I've gotta put some Fulci in here, so here's the best. If you wanna see a slow shot of a shard of wood gouging some one's eye out, or a zombie fight a tiger shark underwater, then this is the movie for you.
5. "Black Christmas" - Please, please, please try to forget the awful remake of this classic. Bob Clark basically invents the modern slasher genre here 2 years before Leatherface, 4 years before Michael Myers, and 6 years before Jason Voorhees. Look for a young Margot "Lois Lane" Kidder, and remember that this same director would make "A Christmas Story" 9 years later.
I'll think of some more later.
