Here's a whole lotta Lobo! Unfortunately, I can't locate some of the episodes, but this is the most complete collection I've found.

This is taking up a LOT of room in Mega, so I'll pull it down in two weeks. Act now!

Plan 10 From Outer Space -1995
https://mega.nz/file/nD5AWADA#wDdWnF7eg2...ozKyC-AHHc
Not a sequel to Plan 9. A retelling of the story of the book of Mormon...with aliens.

The Thief in the Night series
https://archive.org/details/AThiefInTheNightFilmSeries
Evangelical series of After School Special type movies from the 70s and 80s that attempted to scare the kiddies with threats of damnation. Movies were mostly shown in evangelical churches and on church owned UHF stations. Was the inspiration for the whole "Left Behind" series of books and movies and Kirk Cameron becoming what he's become.

Commercial for the "lost" wrestling movie Blood Circus:

I remember the commercials when they were shown on late night TV.

Blood Circus supposedly only shown once in one theater and was never released on VHS or DVD. Alleged print of the movie was put up on ebay a few years for a ridiculous about of money. Like Santogold it might have been a scam.

It was never boring, it took a few turns I never would never have expected, and the effects were more effective than a good majority of CGI horror effects. And after 30 years of mostly PG13 horror it's almost shocking to see how much more a lot of the 80s horror flicks deserved their R ratings compared to the rare R rated horror movies today. Too illogical at times to be a great movie but weird and worth a watch. Thanks.

Do any of you fine folk have the new SubGenius documentary? I am unable to torrent and would love to see it.

Also, thanks to itsizz for Society. I didn't realize I'd lost my copy.

Holy 'Frop! That's the one. Thank you. Too bad we're all going to die on July 5th, though.

The SubGenius newsletter of old. Because why not?

Better add Principia Discordia.

Any interest in Matthew Barney and his Cremaster cycle? I - V? Or Drawing Restraint with his then lover Björk?

Despite the risk of this thread devolving into a SubGenius thread...does anyone have the full Doctors for "Bob" album (SubGenuis band from the 80s)? Had it on cassette but no idea where it went. The one Doctors for "Bob" song I could find on the interweb:

The Janor Device- 1984 "Best of" hour and a half long rant that I'd likely have to be really high to listen to in one sitting by Janor Hypercleats, the lead singer for Doctors for "Bob":

Back to other non-SubGenius weirdness.

Meet the Hollowheads (1989)
Trailer:

Full movie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhwErX-V--A

Movie not really as weird as I think its striving to be. What I find so weird about it is trying to figure out who it was supposed to appeal to. Claims to be a satire of the 50s but it's not satirical. Is it supposed to be a homage to Tim Burton? Peewee Herman? Terry Gilliam? The Flintstones? I've read comments that state all those things, but if that's what it was going for it failed miserably.

A piece of 1983 weirdness (same year as L'Ange from the OP's OP) Chronopolis. Plenty weird and mostly forgotten it seems.

Thank you QTPublic for that Hollowheads info. I'm amazed at how much weirdness gets by me. How have I never seen that before?!

.

Here are a few favorites of mine in horrible .avi format and full frame because that's all I have. Better than nothing, right?

Angel Baby

Top of the Food Chain (aka Invasion!)

Twister (the GOOD one with Crispin Glover and Harry Dean Stanton from 1989)

I've seen Invasion! and Twister at least a dozen times each. Probably much more.

I first bought Twister, used, at a video store in the early nineties. Same time I bought Trust Me with Adam Ant. Don't own either VHS at this point and would love to see Trust Me again if anyone has it or knows of a link. Thanks and I hope some of you give these a whirl (even though the quality sucks).

Another all-time favorite.           SCHIZOPOLIS.

1996. This is from Oscar™ winner* Steven Soderbergh. Apologies for uploading another SD .avi file. My only excuses are that I was new at ripping, no other rip I found had the commentaries, and I only had the DVD.

Audio track 1: movie, track 2: Steven Soderbergh interviewing Steven Soderbergh, track 3: crew commentary.

Track 2 is easily on my top five commentaries of all time but I still recommend watching with movie audio first. It's a pip.


* "... the only director who has received multiple nominations in the same year was Steven Soderbergh for Erin Brockovich and Traffic in 2000, winning the award for the latter." -Wikipedia

This has been my favorite thread in awhile (thanks Meat Trademark for starting).
So far:
Loved
-The Way Things Go

Enjoyed
-Society
-Chronopolis

Understand what they were going for, but just couldn’t hold my interest
-Begotten
-I Never Left the White Room

Didn’t exactly hate, but can’t imagine ever wanting to watch it again
-Memorial Day 2000

Watched the SubGenius doc tonight and while it wasn’t what I was expecting exactly, I liked it and it brought back a SubGenius memory that I had long forgotten. In 1989 I got laid off from my job. Had money in the bank, but money in the bank meant I had enough for a few month’s rent and not much else and was eating almost nothing but peanut butter and white bread sandwiches. Stamps were next to nothing then and I spent the summer writing letters to everything in the “High Weirdness by Mail” book. And for the hell of it I wrote a letter to the Reverend Ivan Stang and he wrote me back. Really don’t remember what I or he wrote, but we exchanged a couple of letters and it helped me keep my sanity at a time when I needed it.

Will try and go through my collection this weekend and see what else I can contribute.


“Top of the Food Chain”- the atomic scientist from the atomic institute had some pretty good lines but overall not as funny as it could have been. Reason to watch is Fiona Lowei. Holy crap! How have I not seen her before and why the hell wasn’t she in a lot more movies.


Fatherland - 1994 - Trailer
Fatherland - 1994
Made for TV movie starring the late, great Rutger Hauer. Detective plot set in an alternate history where Germany won WW2. I enjoyed it but the big mystery reveal is the least surprising reveal ever.

Explanation / synopsis
The old "football players stage a jail siege" plot
Movie
The Last Match - 1990 or 1991 (depending on source)

I Was A Zombie for the FBI - 1982 - Trailer
