MUSIC VICTORIA MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Hey fellow musicians, these are the guys trying help out at government and corporate levels with the myriad problems of being a musician, so if you got a little money on hand throw them a bone for their membership drive. I'm broke as fuck at the moment but the concession membership is only $22 for the year, so I said 'fuck it' and coughed up...

Alex Baldwin has nothing to do with them as far as i know, but I did a google image search on music victoria and he came up and made me laugh...

METROPOLIS (Fritz Lang, 1927)

I finally got myself down to The Astor and saw Metropolis. I tried to watch it as a teenager but the mix of the Adam & The Ants music and my undeveloped taste for old timey art meant I only got about ten minutes in...

But when i saw the trailer at The Astor a few years back my head just about exploded. It looked like the greatest movie of all time! But having finally seen it, I think it might actually be the greatest trailer of all time...

The thing looks amazing, no doubt. But most of the money shots are in the trailer, and to be honest i found the rest of it pretty boring and hokey. I certainly didn't find it to be and kind of compelling drama.

It's something you have to see, no doubt, but like some frustratingly sprawling triple album by your favourite nutty genuis, I wish i could just edit it down to my favourite bits (like the lust crazed german guys in the picture above) and watch them over and over...

Here's those money shots anyway...

To get off this list, reply saying:  More than a thousand Catholics gathered to celebrate in Buenos Aires, where Bergoglio was being called a “slum pope.” “When I saw the news . . . I began screaming with joy,” said a cocaine addict. “And look, I’m still trembling.”

THE CREEPING TERROR (AJ Savage aka Vic Nelson), 1964

Some people put this up there in the top five worst movies ever. It is pretty great...

It's a pretty standard kind of alien monster landing in a small town and eating people kind of deal. The monster is made out of various kinds of felt and rubber and is quite fantastic. The scenes of him eating people whole are delicious. Even though it's a real cheapo, just by want of it's super contrasty old time black and whiteness it looks pretty great. The music is a lovably woeful attempt at "groovy" and "menacing" too, some wonderfully crappy organ playing...

The oddest thing is the narration. For great parts of the movie you'll  be watching two people have a conversation, but instead of hearing their voices, you hear a narrator outlining what they're saying to each other. The part where he's explaining about how when young men grow up and get married their unmarried buddies can become resentful and so forth is priceless...

WATCH IT!
