As you may or may not know, we are working on a documentary chronicling all aspects of the current VHS culture. We need to reach a certain amount of money to finish it and we are close, but not there yet. The support so far has been outstanding but we still have more to go before this movie is finished. To donate, please visit: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1860100961/adjust-your-tracking-the-untold-story-of-the-vhs-c/

Also, keep track of what is going on with the documentary on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/AdjustYourTracking

Reblog, share, “like” on Facebook, etc. We need as much support as we can get and want to get everyone involved with this project!

How could anyone ignore an update video that was shot on VHS?

watched kevin smith burn in hell last night. i listen to so many kevin smith podcasts that i feel like i’ve heard all these stories before, but it is always fun listening to him talk and being able to visualize it. it mostly focuses on post-red state questions. sadly it is much shorter than his normal specials, but still a blast. hopefully he does more specials soon.

Here it is! The teaser trailer for our VHS documentary, Adjust Your Tracking! The film is going to focus on the current collecting culture and show why VHS is loved by so many different people even though many try to call it a dead format. We have already put long hours into making this and collected over 30 hours worth of footage, but we are nowhere near done. We need your help. We started a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the rest of the film. Please click the link below to help us out, we will forever love you and shower you with gifts. Pass this to everyone you know. The movie will happen whether we get the money or not, but this money will help make this the absolute best possible documentary it can be. Made by the fans, for the fans.

Watched this fucking masterpiece last night. Oates and Fonda were stunning, their wives were typical 70s annoying, the action was insane, and the horror was genuinely horrific. It was the perfect 70s grindhouse movie and was wall-to-wall thrills. Do yourself the favor and watch this trailer:

I just watched/re-watched the Porky’s trilogy. I had forgotten how amazing the first film was. It truly is one of the best sex comedies of all-time and has some true meaning underneath all the T&A. It manages to believably tackle racism and still keep the jokes coming. Instantly you fall in love with all the characters and want to know everything they do. The sequel is weaker than the first film, but still keeps a similar energy and style of humor. The plot just isn’t nearly as good (I don’t think it’s very believable all the characters would fight to be in a Shakespeare play). The lead villain is also terribly annoying. He pales in comparison to Porky as a villain. The third film corrects this, bringing back Porky and creates a more plausible storyline involving the basketball championship. It was also great to see the characters graduate.

After I started watching these movies I found out there was a fourth one, Pimpin’ Pee Wee (aka Porky’s: The College Years). It features the same characters but all new actors and came out in 2009. It was shown at a film festival and was on VOD for like a day then it was shelved. I am fucking dying to see it but can’t find it anywhere. If anyone knows where I can get a copy (I already asked the director), please tell me.

I watched this great horror/film-noir/western yesterday, A Man for Hanging. The movie was about a scarred up maniac who goes through the old west killing and raping people. A group of men set out to find and capture him, while he sets out to meet up with some Mexicans that he robbed a bank with.

Peter Breck was ridiculous in the lead role. He really seemed like a sadistic killer and was able to switch moods in an instant. It reminded me of some of the late 60s/70s stuff that Something Weird normally would release — really sleazy and gritty. Some people have even called his character a precursor to Michael Meyers because of his lack of motivation behind his sadistic killings.

It was like a mixture of Posse from Hell (another underrated western), Reservoir Dogs, and a little Hills Have Eyes. If this was actually a TV movie, it ranks as one of the best, and as a film it is much deserving of rediscovery.
