Survivalist Movie Night




Friday's movies aren't just two scents of Right Guard Sports Stick. They're movies that include survivalists. Me, I can't go get the mail without stocking up at REI first. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense but neither do these movies.

Mountain Fury director William Dever, despite a dubious start, is still going strong in movies. Last year he executive produced Jim Wynorski's Gila!



The movie is not based on Roundy's Mountain Dew-reminiscent Mountain Fury:



See Wikipedia's list of Generic Citrus Sodas. Worst name: Mountain Moondrops. Best name: Heee Haw.

Quiet Cool stars Chris Mulkey (Runaway, The Hidden, Dragon Wars) who if he'd only been in the Twin Peaks Pilot he'd be in the Five-Timers Club right now. But Hank was in jail.



The movie furthers my fascination with Nick Cassavetes. He's in Quiet Cool and Mask and Assault of the Killer Bimbos and The Astronaut's Wife. I just can't wrap my head around it. This is just like Bob Balaban. He directed Parents and My Boyfriend's Back? He wrote Gosford's Park and the Tales From The Darkside pilot? Russell Dalrymple AND Warren Littlefield? I go lay down now.

Here's what happened last week:
