Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension

Have I really never featured Plan 9 as MotD before? Seems weird. Anyway, this was the usual midnight show, and as usually, I napped through it because I’ve seen it a million times before. It’s still great, though.

  So the Metalstorm finally let up (get it?), and we moved onto this classic enviro-horror pic. It starred (of course) Ray Milland in fully grouchy mode and a young Sam Eliot--who never looks right without his mustache--as folks at a remote Florida vacation house threatened by just about all animals and bugs. Actually,…

Sorry about yesterday, it was a snow day. Actually, the snow day was Sunday. We got about 18 inches. That's my neighbor's car yesterday morning. I didn't think I'd get out of the trailer park because they hadn't plowed since mid-afternoon the day before. The day I spent shoveling over and over and over…

Richard Moll appeared in quite a few dire horror/sci-fi films, this is one of them. Here he's the leader of a bunch of mutants who all have one side of their face melted, which seems like an odd mutation to me. I guess they are meant to suggest the Cyclops?

Here are some rather adorable looking sand snake puppets, although like everything in Metalstorm (including Tim Thomerson), they were rather inertly used. As they bit the legs of the hero and Thomerson--introduced rather hilariously in a Han Solo fashion--their maws were quite bloody, but the heroes evinced no damage seconds later. Anyway, these surely…

This was the second movie at this year's B-Fest. The most I can say for it is that I never saw it before. Now I have. It's quite a snooze. The biggest issue everyone had with it is that it doesn't deliver what the sub-title promises. It's like Star Trek III: The Search with…

Sorry about yesterday, I was deep in my post B-Fest coma. This was the first film shown, courtesy of our own Chad Richards. He furthermore gave the credit to Petersen Games (a.k.a. Green Eye Games). The timing was fortuitous; the base game for Cthulhu Wars had just recently shipped. Indeed, after the Post Office…

B-Fest Weekend! Picked up my friend Jeff last night, soon getting Galaxy Jane and the Rev from the airport, then off to the L&L for breakfast. Have a great day, everyone. Oh, Dr. Strange, what mischief will you get up to next? I don't know what you did, but that squid is pissed.

A more elaborate version of yesterday's cover. I like how sneaky the octopus seems.

A man, his knife and a giant octopus. Life at its most sublime.
