That Panzram documentary was very good.
Watched the Tupac documentary Thug Angel, as well. I quite like it. It was really interesting that they kept comparing and contrasting the 17-year old 2pac with his older self through interviews.

On second episode of American Horror Story. Avoided it orig. because I HATE Glee. OMG this is amazing. It's a bit over the top, squeezing every single horror trope and cliche into every minute, but it's really really well done, smartly done. And despite being a "TV" show, and basic cable at that, it's pretty much R rated surprisingly. Not sure how they get away with it but it's way bloodier and more sexual than anything I've ever seen on basic cable. Good October watching.

is it meant to be that schlocky/cheesy/camp/wooden? Just terrible.
HUGE HUGE laughs at several points though, "TAKE THE FUCCCCCCKKKHHHINNN EEEELPHANT" being the highloght.

Obviously you are not terribly familiar with vintage Sam Raimi (or Robocop or Larry Cohen or any number of a million things that are great and campy/schlocky) but yeah it's supposed to be. If you were expecting On The Waterfront I guess you'd be disappointed.

there's a weird doc about Nicolae Ceaușescu that's just strung together archival footage with no narration. I only watched parts of it -- kind of dry but interesting at the same time. You get a lot of face-to-face time with the man, since there are so many unabridged speech clips. Strangely, he comes off as kind of second-rate, not that smart, like a mediocre and amoral functionary who stumbled into a dictatorship but grew into the role. His face even seemed to become more twisted and evil looking as time went on.

Alex: that makes sense. I'd seen Army of Darkness so kind of expected something similar. Maybe I just wasnt in the mood for it. I have a hard time with those kind of films anyway, so am fully prepared to chalk this one down to my own failings as a viewer.

Feel both Netflix and Comcast On Demand—and tv in gen—are really failing this year on the fun Halloween times horror selections. That said, watched Elvira: Mistress of the Dark last night and it was great fun. Wife and I both agreed we now have even bigger crushes on Elvira than we did before.

but seriously if you want to be frightened of australia and can't bring yourself to watch the snowtown murders, wake in fright is your next best option.

Danny Stetson (Michael O'Keefe) is a clean-cut, all-American college student and gymnast with dreams of Olympic gold when he's lured into "Homeland," a youth-oriented religious commune, by a compellingly beautiful girl, Rebecca (Karen Allen). Here he is programmed by the charismatic leader, Neil Kirklander (Peter Fonda), to believe that his new life now has the true meaning that it previously lacked.Anguished by their son's disappearance, Danny's parents (Elizabeth Ashley and Brian Dennehy), hire a modern-day bounty hunter, Charles Pratt (James Woods), to abduct Danny and exorcise his brainwashed mind, but the psychological change could be traumatizing.

Hyams’ Universal Soldier films are death-haunted meditations on identity and memory. Though both are canonical sequels to Roland Emmerich’s original Universal Soldier (1992), there’s no trace of Emmerich’s influence in either; Regeneration takes its visual cues from Andrei Tarkovsky and David Fincher, while Day Of Reckoning’s David Lynch vibe (think Lost Highway or Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me) is mixed with over-tonal references to Videodrome, Enter The Void, Funny Games, and The Shining. Both films feature Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren reprising their roles from the original film, though they function as thematic poles rather than leads; this is especially true in the case of Day Of Reckoning, where—yet again—Scott Adkins serves as the protagonist.
