CINEMA SEWER VOLUME ONE, TWO & THREE

Screengrab of the CINEMA SEWER website


These books were a "blind buy" for me. I had never heard of Canadian artist / writer Robin Bougie, or his zine CINEMA SEWER.

I found out about his publication, after purchasing SWEDISH SENSATIONSFILMS by Daniel Ekeroth ( ISBN 978-0979616365 ). The book has two photos of Mr. Ekeroth wearing a CINEMA SEWER t-shirt. So I "googled" CINEMA SEWER and found his official website.

These books are a mixture of previously published and new material from his CINEMA SEWER zine.

All three volumes contain, art, photos, movie advertisements, articles, and even interviews.

FYI: The articles come in all sizes ( mulit-page, one page, three-quarter page, etc ).

I did NOT like everything I saw and read. However, I did enjoy the majority of the content. So, I'm going to focus on the positive.

I'm happy I took a chance on these books.

HAROLD RAMIS.....

Harold Ramis and John Candy in an SCTV episode called HARRY FILTH

I just found out that Harold Ramis has died.

I loved his work.

I still remember watching him on SCTV.



Not only did he act, he also wrote, produced, and directed.

He was involved with CADDYSHACK, ANIMAL HOUSE, STRIPES, GROUNDHOG DAY, GHOSTBUSTERS, and many other things.

He was truly talented and funny.....

MOVIE ADS: THE YOUNG MARRIEDS

One of Ed Wood's LOST films was found by a Canadian man named Dimitrios Otis.

For a while now, I've been reading about THE YOUNG MARRIEDS being released on DVD... Well, it hasn't happened yet.



I've been told that Dimitrios Otis has a FACEBOOK page. However, it does NOT appear to be visible unless you're a member. I'm NOT going to join FECES-book, just to find out what's happening with the movie.

If anyone reading this, knows the current status of THE YOUNG MARRIEDS, please leave a comment.



I don't know much about the film, other than it's supposedly Ed Wood's last movie.

BURLESQUE ADS: ANNE HOW

I don't know anything about this woman, other than she appears in a sexploitation flick called STRANGE RAMPAGE.

Several folks have told me, she was primarily famous for being a burlesque performer.

I've searched the internet for more information on Ms. How, but I can only find info on much younger women by the same name.

FYI: I've also seen her name spelled Ann Howe.

MARRIED WITH CHILDREN: SEASON 1 & 2 COMBO PACK ( MILL CREEK )

I hate most sitcoms, but I've always made an exception for MARRIED WITH CHILDREN.

I'm not fond of the first season. The cast was still fleshing-out their characters. However, I loved the show from season two until season seven or eight.



I wanted to purchase the second version of SONY's complete series set, but it's now out-of-print... There's NO fucking way I'm paying an absurd price for a used DVD.

MILL CREEK has released season one and two ( separately, and in a two season combo set ).

I purchased the two season combo set, and I am VERY happy with it.

It contains three single sided discs.

All the discs are housed in a standard size DVD case. The three discs all rest on one spindle. There's nothing wrong with the way the discs are packaged - so don't let anyone try and convince you otherwise.

There are no extras, and no booklet, or other inserts.

The original season sets by SONY were NOT cheap. Nor, were they ultra high quality.

After purchasing the MILL CREEK version, you'll still have money in your pocket - you can use it for frivolous things, like food, clothing, gas...



As of February 16, 2014, the following retailers are selling this set for...

HAMILTON BOOK.COM - $9.95

WALMART - Haven't found it in any of my local stores

TARGET - One of my local stores was selling it for $7.99 ( sale price? )

AMAZON.COM - $10.37... Is this the best they can do?

MOVIESTOP.COM - $9.99... Appears to be sold out... The following quote is from their MARRIED WITH CHILDREN SEASON 1 & 2 COMBO PACK page, "Item is currently on backorder. This item typically ships in 2-4 weeks"... Up to a month to restock a mass produced DVD?... Are you kidding me?

FYE.COM - $12.98... Almost everything they sell is OVERPRICED!

CD UNIVERSE - $12.99

DVD EMPIRE - I can't find it listed on their website.

OLDIES.COM - Stay as far away from these folks as possible!

DEEP DISCOUNT - $10.04... That's NOT a "deep discount"... WALMART, TARGET, HAMILTON BOOK, and other retailers are selling it cheaper.

Michael ( as Buck ) 1983 – 1996

MOVIE ADS: THE PICK-UP

THE PICK-UP looks like a great mixture of noir, crime, torture, and sexploitation flicks.

I would love to find a complete mint condition press-book for this film.

THE PICK-UP is an extremely rare movie.



It was written by Lee Frost ( 1935 – 2007 ) and Wes Bishop ( 1932 – 1993 ).

The film was directed by Lee Frost.

It stars, Wes Bishop, Stefan Zema, Lois Ursone, and Lynn Harris.

FYI: David F. Friedman ( 1923 – 2011 ), supposedly appears in it.

As I write this, THE PICK-UP has NOT been released on pressed region one DVD.

MEMORABILIA: RED EYE PEN

Promotional pen for the movie RED EYE

I love movie memorabilia, especially when it's a replica of something that actually appears in the movie.



This pen has a small, but VERY important role in RED EYE.

It has become one of my favorite items, from my small memorabilia collection.



I also had an 11 x 17 promo poster for the film, but I have NO idea where it is, or if I still have it.

You'll probably read negative things about this film, or hear people bashing it.... ignore them!



RED EYE is an above average "popcorn-flick". Many folks use that term as a put-down, I don't.

There's nothing wrong with this movie.

Just for the record, Rachel McAdams kicks ass in this film, and she looks good doing it!

Rachel's co-stars are, Cillian Murphy, Brian Cox, and Jayma Mays.

It was released on region one DVD by DREAMWORKS.

SWEET REVENGE POSTER

I love the artwork on this poster.

This art also appears on the cover of the VHS tape ( United States version ). I don't know if tapes outside the U.S. also used this art.



Nancy Allen is one of my favorite actresses, and she looks great firing a gun. Hell, Nancy Allen just looks great, period!

Her co-stars are, Ted Shackelford and Martin Landau.

Gina Gershon also appears in this movie.



SWEET REVENGE was released on VHS by MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT.

Every time I see one of these tapes for sale, it looks like it was dragged on the street and left in the gutter for a few years.

SWEET REVENGE has NOT had a legit region one DVD release.

I've only been able to locate bootleg DVD-R's that sell for twenty fucking dollars.... No fucking way, am I going to pay twenty bucks for a grey-market disc.

PORSCHE LYNN

Porsche Lynn in a newspaper ad from 1997 ( for her 900 number phone service )

She was very popular during the VHS era.

Ashlyn Gere and a few others, seemed to have started their careers with low-budget slasher and sci-fi flicks, so I thought Porsche Lynn may have done the same.

I don't know if she used any pseudonyms - other than Porsche Lynn.

I've searched for info using her alleged real name, Lauren Pokorny, but didn't find anything.

She had a mischievous quality to her acting. I think she would have been great in dark comedies. She also would have been great in action, and slasher flicks.


DVD menu for Porsche Lynn's SWEDISH EROTICA VOLUME 77 ( by CABALLERO CLASSICS ).

I think most of her movies were sold on VHS, but I can not remember which companies released them.

Many of her movies were also released on DVD ( by various companies ).
