Jenny Nicholson, Influencer?

I've written before about Jenny Nicholson, one of my favorite YouTube vloggers, and even talked about her two and a half hour dissection of the CW show The Vampire Diaries. How good was the video? Well, I watched a two and a half hour dissection of the CW show The Vampire Diaries. I wasn't…

Huh, the Benny Hill Halloween special got really weird. Still, it was always nice to see George Kennedy and Liberace getting work.

I love painted pulp covers, and the Italians were great at them. You really have to comb through them, though, to find any that are vaguely SFW. Even the covers that don't have outright nudity can have, oh, poses that are too risque. Worth the effort, though, because they are gorgeous. Also, it's nice…

  After surviving (somehow) the thing of which we shall no longer speak, and being waaaaaaaay behind (like four or five hours behind; herding cats, those people), we were down to our last two films. Luckily, they were both pretty great. The Rev brought Superfights, a film I'd never even heard of. Despite featuring…

Jeff next not only blew all the good will he'd acquired by showing She-Devils on Wheels and Breakin' 2 at the fest, but as Chad R would strenuously argue throughout (with periodic F Bombs for emphasis), the entire pool of good will gleaned from a life of being a super nice guy. Jeff's crime?…

So after Ants we ended the overnight shift with Jeff's choice of Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo. The film is infamous for it's subtitle, which became a running punchline of '80s comics. However, the movie itself is seriously great. Just a wonderful, joyful dance film. Also, as I've noted before, I had a crush on…

We had a longish monster free run after The Brainiac. B-Fest used to featured what I called the Brain Melter slot after Plan 9. This is when they would throw in a pretentious arty flick like Greaser's Palace just when everyone's brain starting gettting soft following five to six straight movies. I showed/finally watched…

As midnight approached we reached what has become the Plan 9 slot at B-Fest (way back in the day it was Creeping Terror, but the film print--yes, that long ago--was pulled from circulation). Plan 9 has obviously been worked pretty thoroughly over the years, so I put in The Brainiac instead. There were no…
