I was all settled in to watch a good barbecued punks flick and ignore my own criticism of The first Exterminator film (which I kinda ripped a new asshole in my review). I’ve let bygones be bygones before and given actors I’ve hated a fighting chance, hey I’m a nice guy what can I say!

That’s why I’m happy to exclaim to the world that Exterminator two can join the ranks of other far superior sequels (Empire Strikes Back, Spiderman 2, Raging Bull 2) Just naming some of the top of my noggin. I’m ready to give that puss Bob Ginty another chance, It’s hard for me to get past that Rod Blajovich blowout, but hey this is a brand new Exterminator. A different film all together, he’s using this flamethrower nonstop from the minute he enters the screen, now that’s entertainment! Just a one man army taking out petty criminals and just burning their skin off beyond recognition. Saddling up for a beer with his new garbage truck driving pal Bee Gee (played by chipper Frank Faison who just mere seconds ago probably walked off the set of CHUD). There’s even a love interest (watch the hilarious fan vid) an attractive stripper, I mean who else would date a low life psycho with a chip on his shoulder against innocent punks that need to be wiped off the planet. Only a stripper with a heart of gold can melt Ginty’s blackened heart. He uses a police scanner, taking the law into his own hands, like a Batman with a welders helmet.

(he really should be holding a hair dryer)

His newest foe is X played by Mario Pebbles who looks ridiculous, infact I’ve never managed to muster up any respect for this dude until he played his own father in “Badassssss” which was brilliant. X leads a ragtag typical Warriors ripoff gang of losers with Arye Gross (Of Ellen sitcom fame) and a whole new Irwin Keyes( sporting a cool half fro, that lovable bug eyed lummox). He was actually killed in the first film but who’s counting? Right?

You won’t see these dudes playing nice like The Warriors crew, they beat the shit out of Bob’s stripper girlfriend in the park and later take her out. I mean score one for them, considering how many stunt people covered in fire retardant gel walking around in flames that I counted. Bob Ginty is more animated in this one and even talks in a non muttering style and even looks livelier (that Farrah hair bouncy as ever). Way more intelligent writing going on in this one, no left turns or dullness, just a lot of fun and I guess you’re Ok in my book Bob Ginty (R.I.P.)

Read about the fictional sequel I contributed to Illogical Contraption(like anyone else reads this blog besides their followers) Exterminator 3

I'm seriously thinking about selling this awesome poster I made and putting it on t-shirts(it's that good)




on a sorta unrelated note irwin keyes starring in "Frankenstein general Hospital? Thanks a bunch internet, the laughs are on you.

The Chants R&B are one of the best 60's punk bands from Australia this record is chockful of drooling mongoloid vocals, sadistic harmonica honking and relentless drumming and guitar screaming, howling vocals, it's amazing and very inspirational. Most Oz bands are incredible it's just a garage music fact. i used to listen to it constantly on a tape before my band went on stage to emulate how it's done, sloppily and not give a fuck attitude, just churn it out like a rickety machine. This was recorded on a crappy tape recorder and is one of the best live performances ever.

Anyone who knows me, considers me an authority on cable and all of it's erratic changes so I saw this coming from a mile away. IFC along ass time ago was the best channel on cable(besides VH1 Classics, which is now a rerun marathon graveyard). Once upon a time in 2002, and I have dusty videos to prove it, IFC was the station that used to play everything Italian Horror. Argento,Fulci, Bava you name it they had it on there and it was beautiful.



After awhile these channels show the same 5 things over and over and no one cares or can complain about it. It just burns me up and I am a sucker for what the kids call indie comedy like Mr. Show,Freaks and Geeks, Ben Stiller. But I own most of these and can have marathons of my own and don't need a stupid channel to program what I can do on my own. I thought once Criterion bought IFC then they would start playing all their catalogs greatest hits but I guess everything is driven by greed and mass marketing. Speaking of marketing, stupid IFC plays commercials now! In honor of a once great channel here's a list of goodies that I saw on IFC that blew me away.
1.Hausu - I heard of this film from Shock Cinema and even reviewed in my own blog.
2.Tenebrae, which I could only find as Unsane(the edited version)
3.Goke the body snatcher from hell(still unreleased)
4.Sonny Chiba in Karate for Life, Karate Bear fighter.
5. Really cool blueunderground related docs on Spaghetti Westerns and others i forget the titles

There's more but those are all the ones I am thinking about tonight. The IFC center in NY is still a cool cult theater. Sundance is going the same route and turning it's back on the whole reason for it's existence.I mean they still play Fellini occasionally but that's so run of the mill and easy to find. Is Netflix that destructive? I can't imagine it's their fault. The only consistently good channel remaining that has gotten better with age is TCM, they play cult films IFC would never bother to play and art house. Which brings me to my blog title what's wrong with art house anyway? Subtitles are for fags! What are they afraid of looking uncool in front of their friends, no just like vh1 classics, someone decided to turn another channel into a infomercial machine and take away entertainment from people who need it and kill all the fun forever. Well at least I have netflix, until that changes.

More stuff like Goke (TCM will air it soon possibly)

Someone made this awesome video for Paul "Huckabuck" Williams great song heard in "Phantom Of Paradise". It's one of my favorite musicals and I fucking hate Rocky Horror.

I've been out to lunch busy outside living not whining on here, which is healthy and yeah I guess I'm saying that trying to please an audience that will never connect with you (or leave comments to attempt it). Is unhealthy but the Roku I got for xmas and the constant drinking and having fun with the old wifey has been more exciting then writing on here, so there. I've been bored by metal lately and have been only wanting to here garage music and it just so happens I stumbled on one of the coolest podcasts run by Mike Stax. This guy is the authority besides Tim Warren and The Norton Records crew on all things primitive and cryptic, music-wise so check that out and hang out here because I'm sure I'll write something better this year since it's just begun and all
