Whoaaaaaaaaaaa......
I can't believe it. THEY ARRIVED. In the mail. After only 2 and a bit weeks!!!
And even before they hit the store shelves....
Holy enchanted thoughtfist Batman, I have in my horrible little hands the long awaited very 1st Issues of two forgotten (and for the most part unseen outside of Canada & the United States) Cult Movie Classics in the form of 1990's TERMINAL CITY RICOCHET and 1999's THE WIDOWER.
For those who came in late....
TERMINAL CITY RICOCHET:
Never available on VHS and rarely shown outside of Canada, this dystopian vision is as timely as ever, and it includes the classic soundtrack that we released in 1989. This DVD + Soundtrack CD (and its sister DVD+CD, The Widower) is a must-have for anyone who loves punk, Jello Biafra, incisive media critiques like "Network" & "Wag The Dog," and/or dystopian nightmares like "1984" "Max Headroom" & "Brazil."

THE WIDOWER:
This instant cult classic is a surreal black romantic comedy featuring Jello Biafra, Joey "Shithead" Keithley, Ani Kyd, and Nardwuar The Human Serviette. The DVD comes with the star-studded, never released soundtrack featuring DOA, Neko Case And Her Boyfriends, The Evaporators, & more!
OMG.... did you read that bit too... NEVER BEFORE RELEASED!!!
And I have them. In my greasy little mits.
Right here..... Right NOW!!!
As soon as I've stopped jumping up and down and get a grip on myself (Yea stoner, get a grip... Ed.), I'll smack these thru the DVD "Player of Doom" and get an awesome "Double Feature Review" out for all you Jello-philes right here... on BODERLINE.
Fuck. I need a valium....
Back later kids... to the Batcave boy wonder!

Now those are some hardcore cult films!!!
I can easily say I have never, ever, even remotely heard of those two?? Is it a Canadian thing? Im almost an honerary Canadian, I love Kids in the Hall and You Cant Say That on Television??
They are a couple of underground films Carl that had very little exposure outside of the US and Canada, and pretty much fell into obscurity over the last 2 decades.
Terminal City Ricochet was made in Canada (Telefilm Canada), but I'm not sure about The Widower. The production house only is mentioned as Cinestar.
As a teeneager I had a copy of the soundtrack to Terminal City Ricochet on vinyl due to my obsession with all things Dead Kennedys/ Jello Biafra. Both movies have Jello in them.
I've been waiting for these releases for the longest time, and it's been totally worth it as they both contain copies of the soundtrack CDs for good measure.
Stay tuned....
Great two more films I absolutely need to watch thanks ; )
(BTW dig the new banner)
Def Bryce! You NEED to hunt both thems film down before the end of the world as we know it. If for nothing else but to say you've seen them.
Thanks for noticing the new banner too. It's a panel taken from an old Fumetti comic. The Italian's pretty much dominated horror comics back in the 80's with horror/torture/porn Fumetti like Oltretomba, Necron, Goldrake etc. This panel is from a Madame Brutal episode in ZIP #2 Feb 1970, where she kidnaps a bunch of babysitters and turns them into lesbian slaves.
as you do....
Are they still good to watch if you're sober?
What's a "sober"?
Lifeforms from another world, I think. ;)
Those where the greatest horror film I've seen..
