Roundup

Posted on the 14 June 2014 by Georgewhite @georgew28573812
Roundup Got the UK quad poster for this Italian stunt police movie Stunt Squad starring a post-French Connection Marcel Bozzuffi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbOpQ4g1iFI and a Bruce Li movie which rips bits of the Rocky soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbJf9YNbG_E.
Also got a brilliant frog-themed poster, the UK quad for Mickey Lion's House of Exorcism, in reality the recut of Lisa and the Devil by Mario Bava, a huge quad poster for John Schlesigner's forgettable 30-million dollar budget flop and Smokey and the Bandit/Blues Brothers knock-off, Honky Tonk Freeway (1981, which helped steer Beau Bridges to basically be his father Lloyd's modern day equivalent and brought down EMI, causing Thorn to buy it), and a double bill of the Lee Majors flick Steel (1979) and Dom DeLuise's Hot Stuff.
Went to see a free theatrical screening of Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century and Earth Vs The Flying Saucers, the print of the first was lovely, but I left Earth halfway thru, because it was full of hipster twentysomethings laughing at the dated effects and middle-aged snob critics going on about how it influenced Tim Burton's Mars Attacks, especially one woman laughing like John Cleese and Terry Jones as "Pepperpots". I felt they weren't taking the film seriously. Yes, so it was cheesy but was earnest and well-meaning. Just because it wasn't caked in CGI doesn't mean it was supposed to be camp.
On the other side, my blu-ray player broke, why, because a Lego man I was using for a stop-motion animation (view my animations here  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-rSVF7vetL0mVpE5FEboUg) that never got past pre-production, because the Lego man fell in, so I had to do it in 2d cgi thanks to Microsoft Paint and Movie Maker.
