Who Saw Scarlet Fry's Junkfood Horrorfest

[Javakoala]

So did anyone get the special edition DVD?  Supposedly they have 90 minutes of commentary from Harvey Fierstein.

Wasn't on mine, I had a deleted scene involving a goose and some Lego blocks. 

Mine had both. It cost a little extra, but to worth it to hear Harvey relate the story about where he hid the Lego blocks when the cops pulled him and the goose over for drunk driving. Apparently the goose had a long history of driving drunk. Damned geese anyway.

Oddly, I heard about a Region-Free version that had a new version of the original film ]with marionettes!

I dont understand why Manos is doomed to be called as the worst film ever made

I generally try to resist calling Manos the worst movie ever made.  I do, however, call it the worst movie I've yet to see.  I know there's probably worse garbage out there.  I was merely asking for a comparison, as Manos is a benchmark "painfully bad" film for many.

Bump to this thread for some of the newbies out there, it is seriously one of the funniest ever on this board.

After all the fireworks on the board, I finally got this thing in a Mills Creek 50 pack.  Good lordy, it was DREADFUL!!!!

A trip down memory lane: where are Cheezeflix, ghouck, Sister Grace, RC, Susan, Doc Daneeka, and the others these days?

[indianasmith]

Cheeze checked in briefly this summer . . . I have no idea about Ghouck.  I kinda miss him and wish he was still here.  Same with RC and Susan.

Sister Grace puts in an occasional appearance.

[Javakoala]

Yeah, Ghouck just...vanished. I seem to remember Circus relating a message from him about, what, a year ago? Jeez.

And RC is part of the foundation of this forum. I miss him. I even wondered about him and if he came back while I was out for a time. Any news about either of them? Anyone?

And whatever happened to Scarlet Fry? Two movies and--BAM!--she (he/it?) vanished faster than Lindsey Lohan's common sense. I was kinda hoping for a weekly series on Fox. You know, a touch of class and intelligence  in the face of other Fox sho.....   Okay, wow, just couldn't keep a straight face long enough. Yeah, Scarlet Fry's ANYTHING sucks poop from the business end of a potato cannon.

Wow, I didn't realize how many regulars are absent. But then, I haven't been hanging around as much lately either. Just put a feed of all new posts on my desktop at work, which should help me stay involved.

I just read this whole thread over again, and laughed my ass off. We really were in fine form, and in hindsight, we probably gave the Scarlet Fry people more buzz on this board than they could have hoped for. Not that it did them any good.

Since Darksider bumped this thread, I've acquired a copy of Harlot Frey's Junkyard Whore Feast, and I'm trying to bring myself to watch it. This is actually taking more psyching up than The Human Centipede. That at least promised to be interesting. From anything I've read, Scarlet Fry is just an ordeal.

That's true up until the point where Rosie O'Donnell hosts the topless Black Mass... watch carefully to see what the feathered Doberman does with the baby, it's one of the most original concepts I've seen in low-budget crapfests!

Um, maybe.

It's a little known tidbit from a very early Scarlet Fry student film that there was a scene involving a flannel-graph rhino with fish-like scales and a baby kangaroo.  The rhino even barked in that scene; some diehard SF fans I know were disappointed with JFHF for this reason - they say the student version was better.

As for originality, I even read one rumor (though I cannot attest to its accuracy) that SF got the idea for that scene while researching some obscure Romanian literature in the original language; the rumor stated he was searching for a part for a Bela Lugosi look-alike roommate he had at the time.  I'm not sure how that got translated to a rhino, and the roommate has never surfaced to confirm or deny.

I just received SCARLET FRY'S NIGHTMARE ALLEY (a screener copy) in the mail.  Any one know if this contains as many Tajikistani Synth-Pop interludes as JUNKFOOD HORRORFEST?

I heard there was a forty-minute chase sequence done as a Bollywood musical number with Andy Dick on the synthesizer, but you know how rumors are.

I heard that the three way love scene between Michael Caine, Glenn Close, and Jack Black was truly Oscar material.  However, the Academy felt the scene's inclusion of numerous stuffed "Winnie the Pooh" bears was too controversial for an awards ceremony.

Oh, wow, that makes more sense. Pooh BEARS...I must have missed the "bears" part when I read that on IMDB.com.
