Olive Films has announced that they are releasing Skidoo (1968) on DVD on July 19, 2011. It is available for pre-order for $18.71 as of right now. Real, legitimate DVD, and not lootbegs, if you catch my heavily-implied meaning here, and in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio to boot. (No pun.) I have been waiting a…
The Green Slime (1968)
In many ways, The Green Slime (1968) is a straightforward sci-fi action flick that pits two similar men against each other in a familiar only-one-can-survive situation. Most people online and on the IMDb give this film such horrible ratings, which dismays me because… well, I guess because I don’t know what else they were expecting…

Before we get on with the silly business at hand, I want to thank my BBFF Ivan for bestowing the Stylish Blogger Award upon SBBN! Thank you, Ivan, for the award and for your intense concern about the economic conditions of the Donette industry here in Kansas. See, I was essentially laid off last week…
White Elephant Blogathon: Deadlier Than the Male (1967)
It’s April Fool’s Day, kids, and you know what that means: The White Elephant Blogathon! I missed last year, but my 2009 entry was the infamous “3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain,” a post which still receives a concerning number of hits to this day. What are they looking for? The White Elephant is…

Don’t forget to check out Things That Don’t Suck for a list of the excellent contributions thus far to Raimifest! “I love to charge up the audience. I feel the horror audience is a great audience, and I would ideally make a movie that would give them as much energy as they’re willing to give…
Raimifest #1: The Evil Dead (1981)
This is my first entry for Bryce’s epic Raimifest at Things That Don’t Suck. Check out the ‘fest as well as Bryce’s post on Sam Raimi’s early short “Within the Woods.” “…Rob [Tapert], myself and Bruce Campbell sat in hundreds of drive-ins…not hundreds, but tens of drive-ins, watching these movies and learning how they were…

Happy 80th Birthday, William Shatner
William Shatner is 80 years old today! It’s hard to believe. Someone should capture his energy and use it to power a small city. I would like to direct you all to The Lightning Bug’s Lair, where his yearly You Don’t Know Shat series is well under way! Very highly recommended. You will not see…
Wigging Out: Shampoo (1975)
Take a good look at this poster. Nice poster, innit? Evocative, stylish, everyone looks lovely. There is just one problem: The hairstyles in the poster for Shampoo (1975) do not match what the actors sport in the film, not on any level. The only way I can cope with the earth-shattering failure of the hairstyles…
