How about “Dead Ringers?” What a horribly disturbing movie. Jeremy Irons playing twin gynocologists who slowly slide into insanity? Next time how about I put a bullet through my brain instead? ---

Never saw it, but I have an amusing anecdote. _Galaxina_ came out about the same time as a film called _Galaxy Of Terror_. (Actually, the former is 1980 and the latter, 1981.) So I called the local drive-in to see what was playing and when. The recorded voice said ‘Galaxina Of Terror’. :smack: ---

[Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078239/) starring the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, Steve Martin and George Burns. I know they tried to make it a trippy drug film, but they failed miserably and ended up in WTF land. ---

Once again the Aussie midday movie comes to the fore. Today’s treat is [Almost Heroes](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119053/combined) directed by usually reliable Christopher Guest, starring Chris Farley, Matthew Perry and Eugene Levy. Amazingly devoid of laughs, this scene happened minutes ago: Higgins: This particular event happened last summer on my uncle’s farm in Virginia. My brother and I had just finished cutting a field of hay and were enjoying the evening meal under the shade of an elm tree. He went down for water by the creek and when he was gone, I took a bowl that was filled with delicious plum pudding and placed into it, not one, but two large pieces of sheep shit. When he returned I encouraged him to taste the plum pudding… And as sure as Im standing before you, he did! He ate it all. Shit Pudding! Edwards: You got your brother to eat sheep dung. That is a very interesting story. Hunt: Tell him the ending, that’s the best part. Higgins: Oh yeah. To be perfectly honest with you sir, I have no brother. It was me. I ate sheep shit! Swear to God. Edwards: Clever twist there on the ending. A monumental stinker - apparently Farley’s last film. He must have died of shame. ---

I nomintate [I Spit On Your Grave](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006JDS4/002-3424138-2225657?v=glance&n=130) and [Lifeforce](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089489/) although the rampant nudity in the latter will lure my to watch it again given the opportunity. ---

I nominate [Pretty Cool](http://imdb.com/title/tt0251951/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxxPXByZXR0eSBjb29sfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxodG1sPTE_;fc=1;ft=20;fm=1) starring lots of “actors” you’ve never heard of! The gist of the film is that it’s about a geek who’s a big fan of Tom Cruise (because Tom Cruise gets all the chicks and the geek can’t). The geek somehow gets the ability to read minds and control people, much “hilarity” (and a depressing **lack** of nudity) then ensues. The film is so bad as to be almost unwatchable. The gal who plays the geek’s sister (who doesn’t get naked in the film) is a blazingly more talented actor than anyone else in the cast. What’s weird is that pulling up the IMDB page on the cast doesn’t list the full cast, and that’s depressing, since at least one of the actresses in it has probably done soft core porn, and it’d be nice to see her boobies. If you rent the film (it’s a direct to video dealio, so you know it’s good), is to watch the deleted scenes _first_ (with the director’s commentary on along with the subtitles). It won’t make any sense to you, but then again, neither does the rest of the film, and you’ll get to see the best nudity. The director’s commentary is hysterical, since it’s pretty obvious that he’s got **no** clue the film sucks or that his actors are horrible. (He keeps talking about how well they do physical comedy, and it looks more like homoeroticism to me.) Even better, they’re apparently working on a [sequel](http://imdb.com/title/tt0496373/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxxPXByZXR0eSBjb29sfG14PTIwfGxtPTUwMHxodG1sPTE_;fc=2;ft=20;fm=1) to the film. BTW, the lead actor looks like the product of the unholy union of Wil Wheaton and Doogie Howser. :eek: ---

With Butch Patrick, Mel Blanc, Daws Butler, Candy Candido. Milo is a boy who is bored with life. One day he comes home to find a toll booth in his room. Having nothing better... The mvie used both live-action and cartoo elemets. I do recall, in the few bits I’ve seen, that the car was red (and ugly), which makes it sound as if you’ve seen the live action portions but somehow not the animated parts. IIRC, the live action was only at the very beginning and end. ---
