"Dear Jim,

Please paint for me Steve Irwin threatening Jimmy Nail with a crocodile in the style of Crocodile Dundee's "that's not a knife" scene. Jimmy is wearing nothing but his crocodile shoes. Steve is wearing crocs. This confrontation is taking place upon the Millport Crocodile. Roger Moore is sneaking past in his crocodile disguise. There are also crocodiles.

Thanks,

Sam"

BLOGTOBER 10/24/2023: DREAM DEMON (1988)

This is one of those movies I really deeply enjoyed, but if you asked me what it was about you'd think I was lying because I'd have a hard time telling you! It has kind of a Freddy Kreugerish premise as you might expect, in which a pair of young women are dragged bodily into one another's nightmares where they are pursued by deranged perverts; they have to unravel the mystery of what is causing this phenomenon, which has something to do with the dark history of the house where they are staying. The actual solution to this mystery is really confusing, and so is the path to the final revelation, which is mostly pretty aimless--but thankfully it is also tense and terrifying, with wonderful makeup and special effects and overall great design sense, and honestly two of the most adorable gal pals you have ever seen.

I feel to need to say that I'm a straight woman and so when I speak about the adorableness of Jemma Redgrave and Kathleen Wilhoite, I'm not being infantilizing or just boning out. I realize I'm being very "no homo" right now, but there's plenty of film fans whose viewing habits are directed by the fact that certain performers make them horny, which is like normal and all but I think not a very interesting way to watch movies or even enjoy performances. Unless we're talking about Jeffrey Combs or Peter Cushing or someone I personally think is hot, then all bets are off obviously. But Jemma Redgrave and Kathleen Wilhoite are just so very adorable! It is just a fact.

Meanwhile Jimmy Nail and Timothy Spall are extraordinarily frightening and intense, but especially Timothy Spall. I love that he's a sophisticated enough actor to be in things like SPENCER and LIFE IS SWEET, but also fully capable of playing horrible fucking creatures in weird genre movies. I like imagining that the Queen had to watch all of his movies including DREAM DEMON before making him Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

And speaking of the Queen, the characters Nail and Spall play are incredibly sinister, intrusive paparazzi who prey upon "Diana" (Redgrave), the pretty, virginal blonde fiancee of an aristocratic Falklands War hero. It's impossible not to assume that this was inspired by Diana Spencer's ill-fated induction into the royal family in 1981, and chilling to think that DREAM DEMON was made 9 years before her essential murder at the hands of the press. All of the scenes with Spall and Nail are thoroughly hair-raising--the one thing this movie has over ELM STREET is that we have to sort of backburner Freddy's pedophilia in order to enjoy that series, while the sexual violence and scenes of child abuse in DREAM DEMON are right in your face and highly effective; but the paparazzi thing becomes really disturbing because of the real-life event that it seems to foretell. Basically, I'm saying that I highly recommend this movie, even if it's hard to describe what it is literally about!

Youtubin': Strange Fruit - "The Flame Still Burns" from the film Still Crazy

I think it’s safe to say that the 1998 British film Still Crazy is my favourite movie about a fictional band.  Yes, that means I like it better than the “big one”.  I definitely prefer it to Rock Star.  It’s just plain better, from story to performance to music.  I never cried during Rock Star, but I do weep during Still Crazy when guitarist Brian makes his triumphant return to the stage during…

Babe, are you okay? You didn’t sing along to ‘All Over the World’ from the Brian Gibson 1998 comedy ‘Still Crazy’.

[halloweenhundreds]

Dream Demon concerns two women bound by the reality bending nightmares that take place in an old house. Spall and Nail are as gross and obnoxious as possible. Interesting flick made for cheap. A delightful find.

Lyrics:

She says, it's not you, it's me

I need a little time, a little space

A place to find myself again, you know?

Oh yeah, I know a goodbye when I hear it

She smiles

But her heart's already out there

Walking down the street

She says

I don't want nobody else, I love you

She's lying

There won't be somebody else, and that's true

She's lying

Say you'll always be my friend, sweet darling

Why does she pretend?

Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see

A woman like you is no good for me

Your heart beatin' at another door

I'm a darn fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)

She says

It's like in the song, remember?

If you love somebody, set them free

Well, that's how it is for me

But you know I'll always come back

And then she kisses me

And somewhere I hear a door slam

So I say fine

And just hope that I'm a better liar than she is

She says

I don't want nobody else, I love you

She's lying

There won't be somebody else, and that's true

She's lying

Say you'll always be my friend, sweet darling

Why does she pretend?

Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see

A woman like you is no good for me

Your heart beatin' at another door

I'm a darn fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)

Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see

A woman like you is no good for me

Your heart beatin' at another door

I'm a darn fool for to ask for more (that's what I am)

I don't want nobody else, I love you

She's lying

There won't be somebody else, and that's true

She's lying

Say you'll always be my friend, sweet darling

Why does she pretend?

Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see (I'm a fool)

A woman like you is no good for me (no matter how I try)

Your heart beatin' at another door (beatin' and beatin' and beatin' and beatin')

I'm a darn fool for to ask for more (that's what I am)

Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see (fool that I am)

A woman like you is no good for me

Your heart beatin' at another door

I'm a darn fool for to ask for more (I still love you)

Songwriter:

Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see

A woman like you is no good for me

Your heart beatin' at another door

I'm a darn fool for to ask for more (when you said goodbye)
