My aunt was a theatre director and professor who took acting classes in the late 70s with Tracy Pollan (aka Mrs. Michael J. Fox), who at that time was dating Kevin Bacon, thus my aunt knew him, too. He was really excited about making his big break in this movie FRIDAY THE 13TH. According to my aunt, all his friends were embarrassed for him when it came out.

😳😆😂

It was banned here sadly.

Not a personal connection for me as such, but Kristi is friends with someone who played a Goblin in Troll 2, and who ended up with a stalker because of it. Despite this, her friend did agree to sign my DVD of it if we ever meet in person.

The 'sex' scene in Gamerz was recorded in a shop in Glasgow I used to frequent, called Hellfire. It's now an art gallery. It's also just a few doors up from where I joined the RAF and across the road from the statue of the Duke of Wellington that always has a traffic cone on it.

JEBEDIAH'S AXE was filmed near one of my favorite arrowhead hunting spots on a nearby lake.

Ah well. There's a lot of "grinders" produced around Buffalo these days. Legendary Bad horror movie director Fred Olen Ray moved out here some years ago and now cranks out nothing but Hallmark-type holiday and/or romance movies. The latest one starred Tony Danza and Mario Lopez, which got people quite excited.  I don't know why I've never mentioned the Fred Olen Ray thing before - maybe because I'll never watch any of these holiday/romance movies.

I've only watched this three times but I love it. It's beautiful and classy but also brutal and gory at the same time. I think that odd mixture is what makes it unpopular, but it works for me.

I just found this one and had to share it.  It looks less like a movie and more like a lowbudget budget Playstation 1 game. 

Seriously.  Check this out.  I can already tell that there is no way I could sit through actually watching a full length movie of this.

In case that doesn't show up right....

This looks like one of those 1800 video games if they discovered video games back there. This doesnt even look like a movie.

After teaching about the Gilded Age over the last few class days, I decided to watch DEATH BY LIGHTNING again.
It's the true story of James Garfield and the man who killed him.  Brilliant, well-acted, and highly accurate with a thin overlay of dramatic license.

SLC PUNK is an earnest movie w/ some good scenes and supporting performances. I imagine 90s Matthew Lillard was pretty insufferable.

Rev, should we all watch PAYDAY?

No. Not a "good" bad movie, just a low-budget grinder for Tubi. Everyone was very sincere and I made friends on the set, but the final product was nothing to brag about.
