So last year, I posted about drinking vodka and watching Mill Creek box sets over Fourth of July weekend so this year, I"m gonna post about drinking wine and watching Jean Rollin vampire movies over Fourth of July weekend. I'm most of the way through a 1.5 of pino noir and have already fell asleep to Rollin's REQUIEM FOR A VAMPIRE twice, so the weekend is shaping up nicely. Holidays are so dumb, no one even realizes what the fuck they're celebrating anyway and it's just an excuse for the masses to act like more of idiots than that they are already. That, and traffic through my restaurant is slow, slow, slow. So have fun, drink one for me, and watch horror movie after horror movie. Like you don't do that shit already.
I think you need wine and a couple of naps with Jean Rollin films......although I did enjoy Requiem and also The Living Dead Girl. I'm also enjoying the holiday in front of my television with a handful of films, copious amounts of coffee (or else I'll be falling asleep as well), and a cat curled up next to me -who seems to be missing a tuft of hair behind one ear (I suspect he probably pushed his sister to the limit)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mama. I think wine and coffe and naps and horror movies and cats are about the five best things on the planet, so you enjoy yourself as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm nursing a hang over today and got Psycho 1-3 on Cinemax. I forgot just how terrible 3 is.
ReplyDeleteTry any recent Jess Franco film and you won't need the wine to make you sleepy.
ReplyDeleteOr just have more wine-- who cares about recent Jess Franco stuff?
Oooh, I'm so mean. (I do admire some of Franco's earlier stuff and his lifelong dedication to making movies, though.)
Who doesn't love a good stiff drink while watching some French vampire flick? Rollin's flicks always go down better with some booze.
ReplyDeleteWill, I watched REQUIEM in its entirety last night, so look for a review tomorrow or so if I can find the moments. I had to watch it sober this go round, and admittedly I can see why this is his highest grossing film of his career.
