So Bad They're Good???

Where:  Casa de Springer
When:  6:30 p.m., Thursday, June 13, 2013
What:  Pizza and drinks (there's a convenience store in the lobby of my building that sells beer/wine/gatorade/soft drinks/etc if you'd rather not have to stop on the way and pick anything up).

Trillin Villains:  Springer, what will we be seeing?

The answer:  We'll be enjoying/making fun of a work from director Ed Wood.  That's right, the person who was posthumously awarded the "Golden Turkey Award" as the worst director ever. The director of the  notorious Plan 9 From Outer Space. We'll have several choices to vote on as a group - all are only about 1 hour long, so there will be time to heckle and clean up any tomatoes we've thrown at the TV before moving on to the part of the evening that I get most excited about.

Wednesday! Wednesday! Wednesday!

Hey Trillers.  I was so impressed with Shane Carruth's most recent film Upstream Color that I was curious to see his debut film.  AND WHO BETTER TO WATCH IT WITH THAN YOU?!  I'm not going to write a single solitary word about the plot - let's go into this naked.  6:30 Wednesday, June 5 at A&B's place.  Pizza and beer will be provided.

MACHETE MONDAY // MAY 20

Ok, I finally have my shit together enough to show you a dude's guts spilling out while you eat pizza.  It's happening this Monday (the 20th) at 6:30 @ House Garry.  Be there.

Trillfully Yours,

May 16, 2013 // Nosferatu the Vampyre // Bjorn

Trill Ones,

My pick for May 16th is Nosferatu the Vampyre, the 1979 film by Werner Herzog. Something of a cult favorite, the words "dark and atmospheric" don't even begin to describe the feel of the movie. Although it is an adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, this is not your typical vampire love story. Here, Count Dracula is not a debonair aristocrat in a Grandpa Munster tuxedo. Instead, he looks more like what an actual vampire bat would look like if it took human form-- pointy ears, scrunched-up nose and sharp fangs.
Come for the famous opening credit featuring a cave full of real-life mummified human remains-- Stay for the overwrought silent-film acting style only Klaus Kinski can pull off!

May 9, 2013 // Machete // Ben

NOTE THE DAY CHANGE

Have you ever wanted to see Robert De Niero do a bad Texas accent while he hunts undocumented immigrants for sport? What about Lindsay Lohan dressed up as a heavily armed nun? Did you ever what it would be like to watch a fat Steven Segal work it in a dual wielding sword fight? Do you lay awake at night thinking about what would happen if Hollywood turned a joke movie trailer in to a full-length feature film?

Well friends, then you are in luck.  This Thursday at House Garry at 7:00 pm we'll be seeing all those things and more as we watch another of my favorite Triple B (boobs, blood, and bullets) masterpieces,  Machete. Danny Trejo plays the same character he always plays in every movie, but this time with more knives and a chain gun mounted on a motorcycle.  

Please to enjoy,

Movie Night this Thursday!

OK Hustlers,

See you all there!

Black Mirror - This Thursday

Brittany's Pick!

This Thursday, 4/11 at the Havican Hizzle @ 6:30 we will be watching two episodes of the British TV mini series "Black Mirror." As you all know, I like to keep the details to a minimum for maximum viewing surprise, so don't go researching the series! (I'm talking to you Bjorn!) Besides, I'll know if there has been any dabbling because I have put trackers on all of your electronic devices and have bugged your houses. I have learned all of this simply by watching BM. Violators to my rules will be punished. Though some of you are sick (Bjorn) and might like this.

Per Wikipedia, basically, because I can't write:

"Each episode has a different cast, a different setting, even a different reality. But they're all about the way we live now – and the way we might be living in 10 minutes' time if we're clumsy." It is comparable to the Twilight Zone. You will leave disturbed (you guys know how I love disturbing things!) and feeling hatred towards your electronic devices, society and the internet as a whole. Enjoy!

Come at 6:30 so we can gab and eat pizza before hand.

Oh! And maybe a little bit of DC afterwards.
