JIM BLANCHARD Talented and
twisted artist who worked on the underground comic HATE (along with
ANSWER ME, BAD MEAT, album covers & more). Check out his cool
art.
CASHIERS
DU CINEMART Mike White's always entertaining film magazine
features movies (and articles) that you won't finds in other
zines. The newest one (#14) features a great "Modern Day
Midnight Movies" list. Check it
out!
CINEMA SEWER Great film zine with an
emphasis on the down-n-dirty sleaze found on New York's 42nd Street
in the "golden years". A trashy layout and great original artwork (
by head pervert Robin Bougie ) make this a fun
read.
CRITICAL CONDITION Here's a great "online zine" with some VERY
informative (and funny) reviews, profiles, an obits section and
more. Head honcho Fred Adelman knows his stuff. You'll find some
seriously obscure releases reviewed here. Fred had a great
"aka" list of psychotronic-style films when he was publishing his
zine. I know we have the IMDB now but... how about an online
verison of that list Fred?
GRIMOIRE / BILL
ZEBUB "Jack of all trades" Bill Z makes
low-budget sleaze and slapstick films, writes the death metal mag
GRIMOIRE, DJs on the great WFMU (see below for link) and
single-handedly keeps "Dingo's Den" in business by his amazing
alcohol consumption!
KFC CINEMA First rate site of Asian films on dvd. Excellent site
design. Detailed reviews and good suggestions on where to buy Asian
imports.
LILEKS James Lileks has a
few recommended books out ("Interior Desecration" "Gallery of
Regrettable Food"). But his website is a treasure trove of pop
culture, old advertising, photos and weirdness with his
dead-on sense of humor. Hilarious.
MOVIE GROOVES Like movie soundtracks? Go here and try not to spend
lots and lots of money.
THE ONION Always relevent, always on the money, always
hilarious. (NOTE: Dial-up users beware of some pop-ups and flash
)
PSYCHOTRONIC VIDEO
If you're a fan of cult films you should be well
aware of "The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film". Here's
Michael Weldon's site where you can read reviews, interviews,
obits and find out about upcoming issues of his magazine. ( Dial-up
users beware of the flash.)
SECRET FUN
SPOT Remember those old ads in the back of comic books for
X-Ray specs, life-size monsters and hand buzzers? Well, web creator
/ director Kirk Demarais does! That plus a whole lot of pop / junk
culture. This might be the coolest site you've ever seen. When
you're done check out their short film dvd "FLIP" (
in the lower right corner of site ). It's great. And it's
only $7.50 - how can you lose? Fun,fun,fun!
SHOCK CINEMA Essential cult
film magazine
that reviews every damn weird film known to man! Steve Puchalski is
to blame. Check out film reviews, catch up on issues you
missed and pick up Steve's book SLIMETIME. A personal fave and
a Must Have!
SUPER HAPPY FUN Cool resource for really
rare foreign goodies and obscure arty farty-type films on
dvdR. You're guaranteed to find films that you've never even
heard of here!
WFMU Straight outta Jersey - The coolest radio
station around - period. If you want to hear the best garage rock
(new and old) DO NOT MISS Bill Kelly's "Teenage Wasteland" on
Sundays from 3:00pm-5:00pm. Listen live or explore the archives -
you can listen to the past 3 years (!) or so of shows!
Amazing.
