This ain't about the Sunshine State no more.

Holy shit. We are no longer Florida-based. I live in Austin, TX. How I got here? The most beautiful woman in the world. The easy part? It's Austin, TX. Hell of a movie town. But you already knew that.










Most important is that my friend Jimmy Bickert has renewed his Women In Prison website/encyclopedia. When I first met Jimmy in the early naughts, it was in full swing. He let it go by the wayside (not like my retardedness but for actual adult reasons like career and family) but has recently come back with a vengeance. You meet people in your life who know their shit but rarely do you meet people who apply it with such dedication and talent. Jimmy is that guy.

If you haven't been hip to his resurgence in the WIP genre, please feast your eyes on his return to form. For me, it's equal parts happiness that his unique vision and knowledge is being put to good use and good-natured jealously that someone can actually have this much knowledge and talent.

Personally knowing Jimmy Bickert has made me a better person and a firm believer that sometimes life IS a total blast. I hope you enjoy his important piece of the world wide web.

BIG BUST OUT.

Robert Ginty. 1948-2009



VARIETY article on the passing of Robert Ginty.

Ginty's defining cinematic role, THE EXTERMINATOR, was a cable cult classic for me and one of the films that anybody could put on and I'd sit down and watch the whole thing.



His was a varied and interesting career. The streets are less safe without him.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! + SERIOUS EXPLOITATION SONG OF THE WEEK 5/24/09

Not only do I have my own movie-related/blog issues, I got internal band problems at a late date and a Christian punk rock kid going to A.A this weekend.


I gotta talk all these kids down and deal my own desire to keep the SERIOUS EXPLOITATION SONG OF THE WEEK going. Which I'm going to. So here it is.

First, SERIOUS EXPLOITATION SONG OF THE WEEK :



Second, Christian kid going to A.A. and internal band problems, this should solve it :



I don't have all the answers so this one's for me. I get to have a country radio station that plays only 60's-80's country out of Brunswick, GA. It's a plus in a minus town:





All ya'll, quit calling me.

Oh, and this because I missed it last week.



Poggiali is one of my heroes. I'm fighting for a library science degree. Which means he joins the ranks of Westerberg, Peckinpah, Oates and Stanhope.

Always have heroes.

Hope this isn't creepy, Chris. I really do mean it.

I'm Sorry.

I so want to do movie related things and sometimes I get that weird buzz to do them. Then I get all fucked and A.D.D.. Like right now. Music has so taken over my life as well as my band. Here's my movie poster from a movie poster generator.



The last four movies I watched were:

PRINCE OF THE CITY

THE BIG BUS

JOHNNY HANDSOME

BLAST OF SILENCE

My heart's in the right place.


LAST OF THE FINEST

I'll be back.
