Did you guys do Shaolin Soccer already? It's like a sports movie on Hong Kong crack (probably opium). If not, I would propose to do it one of these days.

There are two versions of the film: the 112-minute Chinese original and the 89-minute English dubbing by Miramax. Pick your poison, guv'nor, but I prefer the original.

Excellent movie night as per usual. Thanks for introducing me to Riki-Oh- something I had been woefully neglecting to view.

With next weekend leading into American Independence Day (and July 1 being Canada Day because they just have to have everything before the United States), I suggest we view the Will Smith classic, Independence Day, in which Mr. Smith introduces a bunch of nice space aliens to Earth to celebrate firing off fireworks and throwing Randy Quaid into harm's way.

In the same vein, we could enjoy other educational titles like the always popular Ancient Aliens and learn how Jesus was in fact a Gray alien in cahoots with Illuminati to enslave the Jewish race with the power of Stonehenge and island rhythms.

Also, if so interested, I will be this week obtaining a copy of Laserblast, a movie which IHE has recently reviewed. Just watch the review... I can't properly explain it better. MST3K also did a riff of it back in the day as well so it has to be quality.
 
I found Explodin' Varmints Part 2 on ebay.
I bought it.
$35 for like 40 minutes of content.
You motherfuckers had better enjoy it when I play it.
 
The Stuff was pretty fun, we should watch it again when there's more people. I know someone talked about wanting a modern remake of it, and I could actually see that happening. Maybe go the Little Shop of Horrors route and make it a horror-comedy deal, playing off the inherent camp factor. Or maybe go along with the ending, with The Stuff being a black market substance appearing all over the world. Maybe throw in some True Detective shit and imply that there's some sort of cult in service to whatever is producing The Stuff, and the protagonists are stumbling into a worldwide conspiracy.
 
So the Exploding Varmints DVD's arrived today.

The DVD case itself is somehow even more cheaply made than normal DVD cases. The front and back feel like they're made of straight up cardboard.

The case doesn't even pretend to be educational or anything like that, there's a fucking graphic on the front that says, "Hundreds of kills! with slow motion scenes"

The description for part 2 is, "If you liked Exploding Varmints Part 1, you'll LOVE [emphasis in original] Part 2! Mr. Hunter is on a mission to exterminate varmints! As soon as he receives his mission instructions, say goodbye to Sammy the Squeak, Lenny Long Tailed Squirrel, and Rocky Rockchuck as they explode into hundreds of pieces!

With our all new digital footage, you will see more [emphasis in original] up close kills and tons [emphasis in original] of slow motion scenes! Watching all this shooting will make your shoulder hurt and your belly ache from laughing. Will he successfully complete this mission? Watch and see for yourself!"

One of the quotes on the back of the box is from Ron Donahue, of Klamath Falls, OR, who said, "One of the funniest and most exciting exploding varmint videos I have ever seen!"

Read that quote again. Carefully. There are more exploding varmint videos according to this man. This is an entire genre. We may be on the cusp of a genre undiscovered by the internet entirely.

BTW, run time for part 1 is 25 minutes and part 2 is a whopping 40 minutes.

The back also has advertisements for varminthunter.org and varmintmasters.net. The former is gone and the latter is just a parked domain.

It's so rare to see a truly perfect post.

Oh, and just to keep this on-topic, I have the Oogieloves if anyone wants to subject themselves to it. It's a film of Cool Cat-level insanity, but somehow made by professionals.

Oh god yes. That kind of shit is what Movie Night is for.
EDIT: I'm recommending we watch The Item again. A Tyler Durden ripoff, ADF, Lemmy, and Background Chick go out to the desert to pick up a worm puppet and hide out in @HereticsOnHoliday's apartment.
It's a fucking train wreck.

I'm not even going to try and compete with Exploding Varmints 2: Return of Boomstick.

However, once we get into the late night, I have received my copy of Laserblast as well as a slew of other B-movie fantasticness like Slugs, Rats: Night of Terror, and - mostly because of @Legatus Lanius 's reaction last week, Halloween 3: The Halloween That Wasn't Halloween. Also, if not this week, I would like to eventually watch a personal favorite of mine, one that I believe has become even more important to view in these tumultuous times. It isn't a horror movie or sci-fi, but it's a fantastic social commentary piece.

if you keep all that stuff for movie night tonight, post it! I've cleared the queue, so you'll need to re-add it. We'll also be watching Ancient Aliens, Independence Day, and, if @Splendid Meat Sticks is so kind, Exploding Varmits! We will be pure blooded Americans yet, folks!
