Today's movies are brought to you by the letter F. Though neither are for the kiddies. The Flesh Eaters and Flesh Gordon. Two totally different movies to be sure. They both sound dirty but only one is. You probably can tell which one from the dvd covers, though they both look pretty lascivious. They are. The Flesh Eaters is science fiction, if only barely. The bad guy is a scientist, played by Martin Kosleck, alone on an island. His solitude is interupted by the arrival of a plane filled with trouble. Forced down by a storm we have a pilot, a movie star with a drinking problem and her assistant, a pretty young woman. When Martin is spurned by the actress he takes his revenge and releases the plane to the storm. Now they have no way off the island. It gets worse and worse for the innocent trio and the newest arrival to the isle of evil. A beatnick on a raft, all happy and free, man. Soon, he'll be eaten by the flesh eaters. Man. There's a long complicated story behind the flesh eaters, involving Nazi's and experiments, which you can read about in the above links, or in my review when I watched the movie back in 2005. It sometimes takes years to get back to watching a movie again. That's not true for Flesh Gordon, I did see it recently. Both movies had a jpeg in the DVD Covers Folder on my C drive. It's where I save the pictures that I scavage off the internet to decorate my blog. Thanks mostly to Amazon for the DVD and book covers. I have added over 1200 dvd covers and posters to that folder since March of 2005. The dates on the files tells me when I used them in my blog. At least the first time. I really should have an index but that looks like a lot of work keeping it up. Perhaps there is a new search app from Typepad. I'd look into that if I wasn't so lazy. I mean busy. Now I gotta go sort some LEGO. That Troll's Mountain Fortress is crying out for me to dismantle it and sort the bits. See, busy.
