"Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Shocking Truth" (2000)
A cool documentary looking back on the famously difficult production of Tobe Hooper's slasher classic, featuring interviews with most of the original cast & crew. Their stories are supplemented by loads of vintage clips and photos from the shoot, making this an enjoyable trip down memory lane for horror nerds.

I wonder if they mention it was banned in South Africa?

They did mention that it was banned in "numerous countries" upon its release, but didn't mention any specifically except England.

James Cameron was asked about this in a panel, and he answered with a completely straight face that he thought it was still one of the better movies about flying piranhas ever made.

Well, he's not wrong! 😆 After all, it's not like there's much competition in that category.

Congrats on not smoking. You are actually giving me moral support today to not smoke a cigarette. I have a good PDF about the tobacco companies written in 1976. I mean the PDF of course was not made in 1976 but it was digitized. It talks about the Tobacco companies. And yeah I mean those guys are wolves. Sometime I wonder if they aren't werewolves (I wouldn't be surprised if some of those cats have stock in casket companies. Because yeah they are really into it. I wonder if you did a percentage survey of Americans who smoke and the reason being, because they saw James Dean smoking in rebel without a cause if that would be like kind of a high number. Reminds me of when people do those percentage survey things about Genghis Khan. And how much of the percentage of the gene pool of Russia and Eastern Europe have Genghis Khan genetics because of how thorough his invasions were. Smoking and vaping now has become the new Genghis khan. Like supposedly you can't just say no..Like Genghis Khan. Trying saying no to that dude and look at what happened to ya..)

a work colleague smoker I know has switched to vaping instead. it can't be healthier? I think the 'fruity flavours' aspect is more devious because it attracts kids... funny how 'tobacco flavour' is not something that translated over to foods, strangely enough!

more power to you if you do give up smoking... been racking my brain to think of any worthwhile nuggets to impart?

one thing that has occurred to me in retrospect, was that when I was in the thick of giving up, I attributed any and every 'urge' or 'pang' to wanting a cigarette... but actually I think random cravings that spring from nowhere are just part of being alive. I seem to remember as a kid sometimes having them... like a sudden craving for... something!? which then cannot be sated.

when you're so used to nixing any and all cravings with a cigarette, you perhaps become conditioned into thinking that's the one and only source of the cravings?

"Spawning" is also notable for being the first directorial credit for future "Terminator" and "Titanic" mastermind James Cameron, though he claims that he was fired midway through filming and the finished product was edited together by the film's producer. Either way, it's proof of the old saying that everybody's gotta start someplace.

I once saw a clip where James Cameron was asked about this in a panel, and he answered with a completely straight face that he thought it was still one of the better movies about flying piranhas ever made.
