Well, it looks like we’ve all made it to another Thanksgiving… or almost, as it is just shy of one week away from today.

But a big conrgradz nonetheless, my tranquil homies! A fall feast is on the horizon.

Hey, did you see Thanksgiving, the mock schlock trailer done for Grindhouse by chance? It was made by Eli Roth of Cabin Fever and Hostel II (Free Trailer) fame. It’s pretty darn dark and funny, and “controversial” apparently. It has this pale, ghoulish psycho in a V For Vendetta pilgrim costume. He crashes various Seventies classic horror movie-looking scenes and kills, kills, kills — mostly by decapitation. At one point, a roasted human is served on a platter. But the worst part, I guess, involves a stripping cheerleader on a trampoline. When she springs on down to do the splits, a big knife pokes on up through the trampoline, placed perfectly between her legs — she lands — and –

Oh gosh.

For the newsletter we have coming out this Tuesday, there’s a good “Turky” bundle cookin’. It includes the fine Uwe Boll film, Alone In The Dark, as well as From Justin To Kelly, Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, Glen Or Glenda (Watch Now), and Voyage To The Planet Of Prehistoric Women (Free). But since that swell idea is already being used in The Torrent, it would redundant to try and promote those super bad films here in the blog.

Oh well.

We did try and find good, proper Thanksgiving movies. Pieces Of April seemed like a halfway decent film to wrap a bundle around. But in the end we bagged the whole notion. Was the idea of promoting Mrs. Cruise a bit too unsettling? Do we not want Tom’s sloppy seconds, even though this is still when his future wife had quasi-indie cred? The answer my friends, is as secret as our stuffing recipe.

Oh yeah.
