Between 1978-1982. After that? Meh. The albums "Faith" and "Pornography" are completely different from the kind of big hit stuff that probably saturates your new wave radio. I don't like that stuff either. I actually avoided the band for YEARS because I thought they were whiny. Until I was recommended to give "Pornography" a listen. <br /><br />@Yum-yum: "Information Overload Unit" and "Leichenschrei" are gorgeous industrial art. You need "Leichenschrei" in your life. It is that good. It isn't the non-stop noise of "Slogan" or "Mekano." And by non-stop, I meant when I'm not listening to "Too Dark Park" and my bootleg collection from that tour.<br /><br />Anywho, as for this film, I looked up Jennifer 0'Neill on the wikipedia to see what else she did besides this and "Scanners" (all I know), and it said "Married nine times to eight men." For some reason I didn't expect that. Maybe I just thought she would scan them to be how she wanted.idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-68051325702500197622013-12-01T19:26:21.551-05:002013-12-01T19:26:21.551-05:00I can just imagine you glaring at the radio every ...I can just imagine you glaring at the radio every time that song comes on. :D <br /><br />Yay, I found your tumblr... mmm, Buffalo area light rail map porn. :D<br /><br />Paul Walker, R.I.P.Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-11909771183225068542013-12-01T13:02:43.754-05:002013-12-01T13:02:43.754-05:00If I hear any of The Cure's big hits (like &qu...If I hear any of The Cure's big hits (like "Just Like Heaven") one more time on the satellite radio new wave station, I'm going to stab myself in the ear.<br /><br />My tumblr handle: theajwKarim Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548335754518818364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-85498891625774293812013-12-01T06:38:23.175-05:002013-12-01T06:38:23.175-05:00I watched Zombi.

I've always enjoyed Argento and Bava's giallos. So Fulci's have been a bit of a revelation for me. I personally don't understand the cult around Zombi (Zombi 2). Yes, it is ultra-gory. But its really dumb. I'm not that into gore (two much research into WWII in the Pacific and Asian maindland will do that to you), especially if its just kind of pointless. <br /><br />I've also been listening to The Cure's "Pornography" and SPK's "Information Overload Unit" and "Leichenschrei" almost non-stop lately. Maybe a little bit too repressed for my own good.idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-40418747805285587462013-11-30T23:11:40.333-05:002013-11-30T23:11:40.333-05:00@ido: I have "A Lizard..." and "Don...@ido: I have "A Lizard..." and "Don't Torture..." on my Fulci to watch list. <br /><br />I'm posting a review soon of what I consider to be the best Fulci flick. <br /><br />@Karim: When you said tragic death, I assumed it was drug related.

The theme song was E.G. Daily doing a version of "Holding Out for a Hero."<br /><br />Anyway, Jennifer O'Neill was the star of that show.<br /><br />Oh, I'm following you on Tumblr. :)Karim Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548335754518818364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-67439688865348523812013-11-30T09:18:21.754-05:002013-11-30T09:18:21.754-05:00"Oh, and the theme from this movie was used i..."Oh, and the theme from this movie was used in Kill Bill Vol. 1..."<br /><br />That greasy little shit is unable to come up with his own ideas. And now he got an Oscar for it. Yuck.<br /><br />Ok, anyway.<br /><br />I adore fashion-forward female protagonists or even ones that sometimes aren't the best at color-coordinating effectively. So I was more than happy to affectionately nuzzle the warm, moist under-regions of this film. From behind, no less.<br /><br />Although Fulci gets pigeon-holed for his zombie gore fests, I've always felt that his giallos/thrillers were his best films. And I personally love "The Beyond" (lack of plot works in the portrait of hell's favor) and "House by the Cemetery" (the uncut version actually fleshes out a TON of subtext that makes the film much more enjoyable). If you haven't already, definitely check out "A Lizard in a Woman's Skin." I think its one of the best giallos there is and maybe Fulci's best film. I still need to see "Don't Torture a Duckling," which seems to be very highly praised.idohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182559907045813643noreply@blogger.com
