And, now, as a card-carrying member of the Intramural Zombie Hunting League, I can say this‘ll be like shooting fish in a barrel!
To top it off, on Sunday night, I will finally see The New Pornographers, after how many failed attempts…? Lissen to this beauty–the song I’d call the centerpiece of their new album, Challengers:
Ever since I sat through the closing credits of the expanded version of Death Proof, I have had this song running through my head… It’s April March’s remake of a 60s French pop song written by Serge Gainsbourg–including a version with lyrics she’s translated into English. I present them both here. They’re a lotta fun and very catchy and I’ll bet you can’t get ‘em outta your head after this, either!
Incidentally, meh, I’d rather go back to the original version of the film. I hope it’ll be released in the original format of Grindhouse, including the trailers.
Alone
C’mon, who doesn’t get all tingly and geeked out at the thought of a horror film featuring conjoined twins? Oh, just admit it. And one of the reviews I read made reference to David Cronenberg and Alfred Hitchcock when describing this film, so put this one on my After Dark list.
As a matter of fact, it has intrigued me enough to put co-directors Banjong Pisanthanakun’s and Parkpoom Wongpoom’s feature debut from 2004, Shutter, onto my ZipList.
Simon Says
At a place called “The Heathers”, “Some ‘tarded boy beat his brother into a vegetable and killed their parents.” Well, there’s yer backstory. Now, doesn’t it sound like a fun place to go camping! And it’s another horror film featuring twins! Showcasing what one reviewer calls ‘one of the most unhinged performances of (Crispin) Glover’s career’! Horror upon horror!!
Man, makes me feel like I’ve fallen into a wormhole that has taken me back to the late ’70s - early ’80s.
