Green Movie Night
Who boy this night was cobbled together. I think elves made it for me in the middle of the night. But no Bad Movie Night is scheduled before I'm excited about it. So even though the "theme" is that one movie is from Ireland and the other has "green" in the title it's still going to be a good one.
The Green Slime is from Kinji Fukasaku, who directed Battle Royale. Those movies were made 32 years apart, which has to be a record at BMN. The closest (farthest) I can think of is Frank Henenlotter's Basket Case and Bad Biology at 26 years apart.
The Green Slime is written by Bill Finger, co-creator of Batman.
That was you being amazed by that fact. Wait until you read this though: He also wrote Track of the Moon Beast. Which means he could have written:
Fatal Deviation has a small but passionate following. A fatal devotion if you will. You won't? Cracked named it the worst movie ever made. Reviews use phrases like "my favourite film of all time and a piece of Irish film history", "brimming with titanic soul" and "Back Kick Heaven". Plus someone named Nessa Johnston gave a presentation about it at the Society For Cinema and Media Studies Conference titled "“Fuck you and your gun, ye prick”: Fatal Deviation (1998) and sonic taste frameworks".
Here's what happened last week:
