GI Joe in Space







After his old-school sedate debut in 1967 (first video), GI Joe's outer space adventures turned decidedly weird in the 1970s, thanks apparently to the influence of Stanley Kubrick.

(Queen of the) Amazons



Here's a twist. Usually, I present the trailer first, then the full film it represents. But I can't find the full film for Roger Corman's Amazons trailer (1986) above. And I can't find the trailer for the feature length Queen of the Amazons (1947) below. So you get the trailer for one, and then the full other feature. But they are both so bad, you probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't mention it, despite a 40-year gap and one being in color and one in B&W!!

Enjoy both!

Star Wars Animated in 60 seconds

I need to watch this a bunch more so I can catch all the jokes -- like the "Do Not Litter" sign on the intake vent.



Tell me your favorite.

Happy Easter 2013!

Personally, I think it's weird that we can peek at our ancestors from nearly 85 years ago. Be sure to catch the sylph-like dancing starting around the four-minute mark.

ROBOT MONSTER



You know the drill: if you like the trailer, above, for ROBOT MONSTER, then you can watch the whole film, below.

The Sadist





If the trailer (top) fascinates, the full movie follows.

Psychedelic BIC Lighters at The Drive-In

An absolutely terrifying acid trip with two BIC lighters -- at the drive-in, starting out with Peter Max/ Yellow Submarine type animation. Combined with stop-action and claymation, it makes me glad I was only a kid in the '60's and have suffered no lasting effects.



and have suffered no lasting effects.

Does it make you want to go to the snack bar?

No lasting effects.

Any guesses on a year?

Madame X



From the review in VARIETY:

Fabulous is the only word to describe "Madame X," a candy-colored, fast-paced tale of a pre-op transsexual superhero from Indonesia who fights intolerance.
