I find myself kinda naturally drawn to the kinds of movies that just seem... I dunno... forgotten. Also helps that I'm a big Mike Ironside fan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857484979801670287.post-7298657672074210932009-07-24T14:05:50.207-04:002009-07-24T14:05:50.207-04:00You have a excellent memory. Mise-en-scene Crypt ...You have a excellent memory. Mise-en-scene Crypt was originally hosted on Yahoo 360,a platform long since abandoned and recently axed by Yahoo. I tried to get the look as close to the old blog as possible. The top banner is actually the original banner I created for the site, which was never displayed in full. I always thought the full banner looked a lot better so I decided to use it for the new blog. I'm currently in the process, as time permits, of weeding through the old posts that were saved in the export file and re-upping them. However due to the size restrictions (400 pixels wide) of blogger images I've started a Google Sites archive for them. You can access the archive site here: http://sites.google.com/site/miseenscenecrypt/Home<br /><br />Cosmic Cinema is relatively new. I actually started it last year while waiting to see what Yahoo was going to do with Y360. Cosmic Cinema is dedicated to all things science-fiction and fantasy while Mise-en-scene Crypt is pretty much for everything else, with a bent toward the horror and exploitation genres. And of course there's my cinema related rants.<br /><br />Well, okay, marginally cinema related rants. My latest one about satellite providers call centers qualifies by the skin of it's teeth. ;)<br /><br />The GOR novels are an unusual, seldom mentioned, footnote in science-fantasy literature. I literally knew nothing about them when I first watched the movies as a youth. It wasn't until years later that I heard, in hushed whispers, the rumors and innuendo about the novels and their BD/SM connection. There is supposed to be a vast cult following out there for the novels, which I understand are rather hard to find as they've gone OOP.<br /><br />As for THE THING BELOW, if you rent that you might as well also rent DEEP EVIL. They're virtually the same movie with different actors. More nudity and zaniness in THE THING BELOW, if that helps.<br /><br />Looking forward to your review of NEON CITY. That's a under appreciated post-apoc flick with a lot of great talent in it. Is it still AWOL on DVD?Kester Pelagiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386136979757090292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857484979801670287.post-37256224560583959362009-07-24T12:35:18.714-04:002009-07-24T12:35:18.714-04:00Hey! Wow! Thanks a lot for all the kind words! Ver...Hey! Wow! Thanks a lot for all the kind words! Very unexpected but very appreciated. I can't thank you enough. I've actually visited the Mis-En-Scene Crypt before (although I seem to remember it looking different or something... am I right here, or am I just mistaken?), but I must confess to not being terribly familiar with Cosmic Cinema. I'll definitely start checking it out on a regular basis now though. I liked the 2-part Gor article a lot, by the way. I'm not terribly educated when it comes to Gor, so it was really interesting. I hope to get around to reading the whole Barsoom series of articles you have up here sometime soon, too. The Gor stuff peaked my interest.<br />By the way, is it wrong that your review, though scathing, has sparked an interest for The Thing Below within my black little heart?<br />I simply must this movie. That chick was suckin' off a tentacle for pete's sake!!!<br />Besides, it can't be any worse than half the stuff I subject myself to on a regular basis the way it is. I mean, heck, I'm a regular renter of Asylum films. Lol.<br />Thanks again for all the compliments. My ego is now at an all-time high. This is seriously the coolest thing anyone's ever done, writing a whole blog entry n' everything. I appreciate the plug immensely, and I'm flattered that you think so highly of my reviews.<br />Sorry for the lack of sci-fi coverage, but, just so you know, I expect to have a Freejack review posted in a few days, and a Super Mario Bros. one not long after that. Also, I'm not sure when, but, hopefully soon, I'll be posting a Neon City review as well. I'd really like to post a StarCrash review, but I'm having a hard time tracking down my VHS copy. <br />Anyway, thanks again. Take care.<br />Until next slime...<br />Stay sick!<br />Your pickled pal,<br />William Weird.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
