Trash movies

"Cobra Verde" with Klaus Kinski

I'm afraid the titles are better than the movie. "Muffy the vampire layer" IMO was very boring, at least the small part I watched. Is there life after Traci Lords????

"Cobra Verde" is not a trash movie - more like a very a solemn arthouse film, despite it starring the unhinged Kinski who a) confessed to commiting a murder and b) confessed to trying to rape his daughter Nasstasia. Or so he wrote in his memoirs "I Need Love". We need more characters like Klaus or what?

I recently flicked through a multichannel filled with current porn and yes, there's some kind of grotesque life there all right. In one film a woman in a frizzy 80's style L.A. perm, face dripping with slime, approached the camera on all fours and growled: I'm a retard and I need it up my arse!! Traci and co sure may have been sluts but never did they sink to that level.

I guess "Videodrome" really was ahead of it's time.

and David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" :)

Marcio, maybe those are good and funny movies but they will never top the intellectual cinema brought to us by the legendary Russ Meyer. "Faster pussycat, kill, kill" and "Vixen" can never be topped. The plots, the method acting, the cinematography: it was art!!!!!

Hey Jussi! You know, I remember grabbing "I need love" some years ago with that information in mind. And high as I enjoyed the reading (an absolutely must for both cinephiles and trash-lovers), I couldn't find that bit in the book. Unbeknownst Spanish censorship or urban legend? :roll:

Read the bit 1/3 thru about the incident in the park - he leaves a beaten woman to die. The Nasstasia coverage must have been snipped out of the edition you have read, it's there all right in the original. Klaus describes how her daughter emerged from the shower and...well, it's really macabre. Perhaps, and hopefully, it was all in his feverish imagination.

But really.."Forbidden Planet" a trash movie? Not so, as it's a visually and narratively accomplished sci-fi milestone - several critics insist it's also a shrewd take on Shakespeare. A robot and a fainted woman in a poster do not a trash film make! :-)

Jussi_K, thanks for the class
