Movie of the Week: Creation of the Humanoids (1962)

One of the smartest science fiction movies of the atomic age is pretty stagey, but the proto-Philip K. Dick story is engrossing, the minimal sets and saturated lighting are lovely, the musical score creeps up your spine, and there's that guy from Plan Nine from Outer Space. Make sure to see this one, preferably on DVD and a big screen.

Sunday Stooges: I'll Never Heil Again

Movie of the Week: Shivers (1975)

Cronenberg's first feature film, Shivers (a.k.a. They Came from Within) defines his entire oeuvre immediately. It manages to simultaneously be exploitive, deeply horrific, and very intelligent, a perfect film for the mid-70's zeitgeist of sexual liberation and modernized living.

Out of print on home video since the 90's (used DVDs are currently selling on Amazon for over $100), so see it before it disappears.

Movie of the Week: Pin (1988)

Saturday Morning Stupefaction: The Lord of Middle Earth (1979)

About a million times more thrilling than the Hobbit movie. Referred by Kindertrauma.com.

Your Holiday Gift from Futurechimp: Screwballs (1983)

As you surely recall, last year's Holiday Movie was The Party Animal. So let's keep riding that wave and followup with Screwballs for this Christmas Eve of 2012. 

What else are you going to watch? A boring yule log DVD? This is better than that, I assure you. However, due to subject matter, it's not suitable for anyone chronologically younger than 17, or developmentally older than, say, 12.

Thanks for tuning in, that's our sign off for 2012. I would like to wish everyone, and especially all students and faculty of T&A high, a very happy and horny New Year.

Slithis: The Album

A more accurate title would be "the album for now"; this is my own two-hour playlist, compiled from four years' worth of material. Sometime in the new year, Clark S. Nova and I will put together a more definitive collection to try and sell via limited-edition flash drives and music download sites. So hear it free while it lasts.
