Ranger Asmodeus Strikes Again
Apr. 26th, 2012 10:31 amA Meme of Alphabet, Part 3--E is for Enemy, F is for Faith--is up, over here (http://musicatmidnight-gfiles.blogspot.ca/2012/04/meme-of-alphabet-part-3.html). Enjoy. I'm now up to...K and L, I think, and am feeling fairly good about getting this stuff squared away a few days ahead of time. Now, if I can just manage to make myself do some genuine work, in the interim...
In other news, my P.A. ad just went down, so I'm trying to arrange interviews with the few people who actually responded. Given how hard I've been trying to manage this scheduling crap for myself and how crazy it seems to be making me, it probably would be good to have somebody else to help me with it. That said, I think the choice is fairly clear, barring any unforeseen personality clashes.
The night before last I watched a chunk of my PVRed copy of Equinox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox_(film)), the apparently seminal Denis Muren 1970 FX-travaganza which somehow managed to net a Criterion DVD release. Made for $6,500, it obviously had quite an influence on later filmmakers like Sam Raimi, since certain elements are extremely reminiscent of The Evil Dead. That said, however, the film has its own pleasures; there's an assault scene between Asmodeus and the hero's blind date involving a spooky hypno-ring, some amazing sex-faces and a Surprise! Cross! Attack! which must literally be seen to be believed. The whole movie is up here (http://youtu.be/Ab9v-Pjngh8), and said sequence starts around the 00:35 mark, so check it out.
Amended to add: Oh yeah, and one of the idiot picnickers is played by Frank Bonner (Herb Tarlek on WKRP in Cincinnatti), while Ed Begley, Jnr. was the assistant cameraman. This is prime SoCal cheese, guys.
All right. Back to the grind...
