Ax 'Em was always going to be part Blaxploitation Month but I considered a few movies to go with it before settling on Twin Peaks. I thought about making it the only complete Blaxploitation Night and showing The Human Tornado.
I decided against it making this the first Rudy Ray Moore-free February. (frowny face) I thought about a tools on sticks theme and watching David A. Prior's (Deadly Prey, Killer Workout) Sledgehammer. But it's too similar to the horror(ibleness) of Ax 'Em. Then Everett McGill and Wendy Robie appeared last Friday in The People Under The Stairs as a married couple (cough) just like in Twin Peaks.
Leaving us wanting more, more!
First we're going to have to get through Ax 'Em. Remember that scene in the middle of Las Vegas Bloodbath where a bunch of women wrestlers eat donuts, try on bikinis and have a regular conversation? For 20 minutes.
That reminds me of the entirety of Ax 'Em except no one wears a bikini. As far as I remember anyway. It could be impossible to store memories of Ax 'Em. And you may doubt anyone in the movie was aware there was a camera nearby. The movie introduced me to Chubb Rock though!
The Twin Peaks pilot (European theatrical edit) will be our second David Lynch directorial effort, after watching Blue Velvet right after Dennis Hopper died. We'll've seen Kyle MacLachlan four times now since we watched Showgirls and The Hidden. And, of course, you'll remember Dana Ashbrook and Kimmy Robertson were both in The Willies:
Here's what happened last week:
