Tonight's Stinker
Irma Vep(1996)
https://youtu.be/IfhgwUBVgkQ?si=wFyMXOWsHgCwxCZV

A French director has been tasked with doing a remake of Les Vampires(1915), and he's hired a Sino/English actress known for a string of low budget kung fu movies...
The first thirty minutes is all about behind the scenes chaos, as the actress can't speak French... About thirty minutes in, the real drama unfolds, as a lesbian Costume Designer gets a crush on her, & the director has a nervous breakdown...

A lot of hand-held wobbly cam trying to catch the panorama of the room, which gave me a headache while trying to read the subtitles....
To be honest with you, I've seen more than my fair share of "behind the scenes chaos" films at local film festivals, particularly at 48hr film festivals, and I couldn't stop thinking about that, even after some of the characters were fleshed out & rumors & gossip about them where revealed.....

I can't be the only one that feels that [Hypothetical Actor Name} is totally over rated.

"The Fugitive" (1993)
Wrongly convicted for the murder of his wife, a prominent Chicago doctor (Harrison Ford) takes advantage of a prison bus crash to escape and try to clear his name, with a determined U.S. Marshal (Tommy Lee Jones) in hot pursuit the entire time.
Inspired by the 1960s TV series, this update is one of the best action thrillers of the 90s, thanks to the powerful performances by its two lead stars. Well worth re-visiting.

I'm Haunted (2022) - I'm on a pretty good run of ultra low budget thingies. The entire movie is various updates to a young woman's youtube page about her apartment being haunted. It's a TON of her speaking to the camera with occasional knocks and kitchen drawer openings in the background. She delivers the lines well, though, and I'm not surprised there are a number of sequels already. Actually, I kind of am (there are 4 since 2022).

It gets a little ridiculous, but that's kind of the point with something this cheap. There are now officially 500 quadrillion found footage horror movies and this one managed to be different and compelling while staying in the monetarily dictated confines of the genre. Would make a great double bill with the Black Mold Exposure documentary, for some reason.

4.5 /5

Quote from: lester1/2jr on April 04, 2026, 01:18:57 AMIn France, they put an egg in the middle of the pizza sometimes.

Here in Boston, there is a rivalry between Regina Pizzeria ( North End/ faux Italian neighborhood) and Santarpio's (East Boston, once Italian now Spanish neighborhood)

I have never been to either. My sense is that Santarpio's is more fun and colorfull and Regina has slightly better pizza. I don't know what they do to it that makes it so allegedly great.
Like, how's the egg cooked? Sunny side up?

There's places here that do breakfast pizza. No tomato sauce unless requested, but the dough, cheese...scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pork roll, etc.

and I wouldn't eat that.

(despite liking chips / fries)
That's gross too. There's a lot of places at the Jersey Shore that do this. I'd have to be wildly drunk to try.
