Only got in one movie early yesterday. Can't wait to get back from a flea market and get down to watching some goodness today!

I'm glad you asked about that one. I've never seen it, but I have a copy, and now I have an excuse to finally watch it.

I just watched the damnedest flick I have ever seen in my life. It's called Let My Puppets Come, and it's currently on Youtube. This is a full-on pornographic film, but with puppets, made by Gerard Damiano, the director of Deep Throat. I can't imagine who thought this would be a good idea. It's clearly intended to be a comedy (with explicit puppet sex), but it's not really funny, and it is definitely not erotic unless you are attracted to puppets.

Terence Hill & Bud Spencer aren't on the safe list?

Excellent! I've already watched two Sears movies for this challenge, including one on the Western Channel today, FURY AT GUNSIGHT PASS (1956), starring David Brian and Neville Brand as outlaws who take over a town after a bank robbery and one faction of the outlaws knows where the loot is hidden, while the other doesn't and thinks the town is holding out on them and threatens to start killing citizens if they don't cough it up. Very clever plotting and real tough-guy shenanigans from these two. And it's all done in 68 minutes. Another one from Sears airs tomorrow morning, WYOMING RENEGADES and I'll be watching that. Plus I recently picked up a Columbia sci-fi four-film set for $4.97 that includes Sears' THE GIANT CLAW (1957), which I've never seen.

I love Ms. 45 (1981) so damn much but Thana's landlord always drives me insane. I guess that's the point right?
I remember seeing a screening of Drafthouse Films' print a few years ago in San Francisco. It was in a really small theater, but a good handful of people walked out pretty early on in the film. Never came back either.

Even though it's a classic exploitation film, I'm still on the fence of marking down Ingagi (1930) as a wildcard. Since it's a lost film, I watched (Or rather,heard) it's "Reconstruction" (Similar to Greed or London After Midnight) on youtube. Only the soundtrack exists for it, but a lot of stills/scans are thrown in the 8-part video (Starting here)
The whole thing breezed by faster than I thought it would and has already become a stand-out moment for me in this challenge...Especially when you have to use your imagination on a lot of the dead spots (Where just a black screen appears)
Better yet, if you've seen this movie:
You can fill in those gaps a lot easier.

I'm currently watching The Toxic Avenger, one of my all time favorites, and it just occured to me that in the first 4 days of this challenge I've seen 2 dogs get killed in the movies I've watched. This could turn into a theme...

Being in a lot of pain tonight, I woke up in the middle of the night. I decided to work on the challenge therefore. Right now I'm watching a movie on SyFy, that I think may be an Asylum movie, Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies. So far it actually seems to be a decent movie. There is even a young Teddy Roosevelt in the movie.

Might return to a theme I used a few years back for this challenge on Easter. Movies with former Playboy Playmates! Stay tuned. Anything should be an improvement over yesterday's double-bill. Yikes.
Edit: Roger Corman's birthday might be a better plan. Glad I browsed the thread.

I miss the old Times Square. That's where I saw BLACULA in 1972--at the old Criterion Theater, which is now a Toys R Us. That was a summer night and we then went up the block, had some pancakes and went into the old Embassy Theater to see A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. 20 years later, in January 1993, the Criterion was a multiplex and I went after work to see TRESPASS in one of the basement theaters. The audience was so into it that they stuck around afterwards to talk about it. I was so hyped up from it that I walked up Broadway, found myself back at the Embassy and saw that THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN (Eddie Murphy) was about to start, so I went in and saw it. The Embassy is now the Times Square Visitors Center. Two movie trips to the same theaters 20 years apart.
I miss the days when I could walk two blocks from my office and see two movies on a weeknight. Nowadays, my office is further south and the theaters in Manhattan are half-a-mile to a mile away and then you have to take an escalator or elevator and walk down a long corridor to find your theater. Gone are the days when I could just walk into a single screen and find myself in front of the screen just a few yards from the street.
The Criterion in 1990--and, yes, I did see TOTAL RECALL there:
And how that block looks today:

Just noticed that Scorpion Releasing DVD isn't on the safe list. Maybe for consideration? Lots of fitting titles from them.

I just finished Wyoming Renegades on Encore Westerns. It was about a Pinkerton Agent who goes undercover to stop a train robbery. It was an enjoyable movie.
