Coming to the end of another week of 6
pack cinema..
I was almost rethinking the concept of
this show when I stopped off @ the beer store as they were promoting
where you can make your own 8 packs w/ the slogan (w/ a octopus) 'an
8 pack is enough for me'. Well an 8 pack will work if you want to
get drunk but I think I'll stick w/ the slight buzz of 6 for now...as
my saying goes I don't drink a lot / I just drink often..well except
for the weekend.
Before tying to all up w/ the big award
one last nomination for Best Picture of the Week of Color.
From 1980 Lieh Lo's Fist of the White
Lotus
Chia Hui Liu & Hu Ah-Piao kill the
White Lotus Abbot & Priest White Lotus wants vengeance. He sends
out his men to kill the two brothers & they are successful @
executing Hu Ah-Piao. Chia Hui Lui flees w/ Hu Ah-Piao pregnant
wife. He trains & goes to extract revenge / he fails. He trains
some more / he fails almost dying for the 1000 step exploding palm.
He trains some more but this time he get some help from his sister in
law & learns a more gentle technique. He returns to face Priest
White Lotus w/ new skills & a few tricks up his sleeve.
Alright that will do it for the 6 films
that are up for the best picture of the week but before I serve it up
of course some self pandering. As always you can follow Blaxunshine
on twitter @Blaxunshine. Im not an attention whore but always
looking for interesting followers that I can follow back.
A couple new people Im following who
have followed me back this week & I recommend you check you their
stuff – IntheFrame1 & TheFilmBambina Some older contacts as
there was a TNA PPV this last Sunday & their review is up on
youtube IWRSHOW ..as well the always entertaining & cool
grindhouse 60/70s throwback blog radio of Lost_on42ndSt (who I'd
throw a couple of bucks but I need my cash right now for rent, beer &
the occasional midget hooker.)
As stated @ the top of the show 15 flix
viewed this week w/ colors in their titles. Those that didn't make
the cut for Best Picture were Blue Lagoon, Pink Cadillac, Black Gunn,
Red Queen Kills 7 Time, Yellow Hair & the Fortress of Gold, Green
Berets, White of the Eye, Mean Dog Blues & the fucking terrible
Black Widow.
Now time for the Best Picture Award for
the Week of Color – The Pabst Blue Ribbon
Again the nominees were Red Rock West,
Purple Rain, Blue Collar, Brown's Requiem, Black Caesar & Fist of
the White Lotus.
And the winner is..
Blue Collar
As I said when Pryor took The Bud this
is his best movie & I would probably put it in my top 30 of films
from the 70s. There actually could have been more nominees for best
actor as both Harvey Keitel & Yaphet Kotto are excellent in this.
As an unsatisfied union man myself this movie strike a hard cord w/
me. Sometimes I wonder what exactly Im paying for except for 80 %
dental & medical coverage & a retirement plan that won't
cover the cost of living when the time comes. Those dues I pay &
the shit I still eat from management don't seem balanced. I could
spend that money better elsewhere like on more beer & some
chicken wings..maybe throw Lost_on42ndSt a few buck to keep
independent radio alive...oh well as Rick Springfield said Im like a
working class dog & I just get by.
..I think I'll leave you w/ that this
week while I continue to enjoy cinema w/ a buzz.
