Let's get back to the good stuff...

Anyone see "I drink your blood"? That's another good hippie movie where this pack of hippies gets rabies and goes on a killing spree. LOL!

Saw it on it's original run at a drive -in in Columbus, Ohio when it doubled with I Eat Your Skin.  Another one I remember liking at the time...much better than it's co-feature, but find that I'm not so much enamored with it these days....but I do love the concept of Rabid Meat Pies and the use of Alka-Seltzer in special effects....and Seconds is indeed 'Good Stuff' in fact having seen both I'd say it's 'Better Stuff'....You're probably a guy who likes Last House On The Left better than the film it ripped off, Bergman's Virgin Spring....Heathen!

[Visitor Q]

Yup!

Last House On The Left = good times but I rather House Near the Edge of the Park, have you seen it?

Not a Horror movie, but probably my most recommended movie for those that haven't seen it.  Polanski's Bitter Moon.  One wild ride...

I got into a major argument with a friend of mine over Bitter Moon.  I think it's a truly hilarious film and he thought it was one of Polanski's worst.  Peter Coyote is really great in it and it's about the only thing I can watch Hugh Grant in (Lair Of The White Worm is his other useful film).  Are you a fan of other obscure Polanski?  I'm a total fan of all his apartment films (Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby and especially The Tenant), but I find something to dig in all of them!  Glad to see someone else appreciates an obscure treat!

[Visitor Q]

How about Pier Paolo Pasolini? Salo, now that's a good dinner date movie!

They sell Salo boots at NYC comic shows.

I don't know what that is

I don't know what that is but I can't come to think that has anything to do with the movie I am refering too.

I bought a legit copy of it when I was living in Amsterdam.  Movie is just bad taste (pun intended) in my opinion.  I didn't find it worthwhile to watch.

I haven't caught Polanski's earlier stuff (Knife in the Water, etc.), but will someday.  I do like is work from th 80's on, Frantic, 9th Gate, Pianist, etc.

Rosemary's Baby is one of my all-time favorites. Polanski did such a good job with it that he made the unbelievable seem so very real. I wonder if he'll ever bring the sequel, Son of Rosemary, to the big screen. Ira Levin practically wrote the damned thing as a screenplay.

Ahhh... I see.

When you said "boots", I guess I was not thinking.

Either way, great movie.

There actually was a sequel in the 70's that was a made for TV film, if I remember correctly, titled Look What Happened To Rosemary's Baby...but none of the original makers had anything to do with it.....and 50, you really should see Polanski's pre-80's output, it's by far his best....Knife, Cul-De-Sac, Repulsion, Fearless Vampire Killers, What?, The Tenant and especially Chinatown are all fantastic films and classics...As a LA resident you owe it to yourself to see Chinatown, just because...and VQ I'm an admirer of Salo but find it hard to watch these days because once you know what's what it just becomes somewhat tedious.  Definitely Pasolini's best film, imo, but I've never liked the rest of the films of his I've see....much, with maybe the exception of Pigsty.  My favorite directors....Polanski, Welles, Kubrick, Ozu, Ken Russell, Lindsay Anderson, David Cronenberg, David Lynch, Godard (pre-1971) and a toss up between Fritz Lang and Billy Wilder.
