20/08/14 Pro Wrestlers Vs Zombies (2014)

I now know that American wrestling is 100% legitimate and all accusations of acting are groundless and unfair. How did I come to this conclusion? Well this film is made up of professional wrestlers playing themselves and they fail to pull that off convincingly, so I can only assume the ring theatrics are born of authenticity.

Yup, the film's shit. I watched it mostly 'cos Roddy Piper, so brilliant in They Live, is in it. As shit as it may be, it does have an honesty -it's crap, camp nonsense and doesn't pretend to be anything else- that films with a thousand times the budget, generous shooting schedules, actual actors and a script, never will. I'd rather watch this than the next Avengers film.

So yeah, it's shit but honest.

"I am a wrestler, my opponent for this match is wall!"

"What do you think, Darling, Italy next Summer? The south western coast is a delight in July"

"Mmmmph"

"I am a wrestler, I lost my last fight against wall. My comeback match is against new opponent, Mud."

"Hi! Welcome to Croydon Nando's. Our special today is arm."

01/12/12 They Live (1988)

Twenty four year old film where Earth gets invaded by strangely coloured Natasha Kaplinskys. Well, not so much invaded as taken over via the back door.

'Via the back door' plip, gibble etc.

Anyway, this film is fucking excellent, the obvious but brilliant satirical comment on the ruling class draining everyone else until there's nothing left to give is arguably more true now that it was two decades ago. 

Brilliant.

Also has a small fight scene in an alley.

I'm an invading alien.
