G-type | 2,715 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Hey there B-movie club! @SilverspoonGaming@Reed Rothchild@Brickman@PII@JamesRobot@fox@Murray@Gloves Lets pick the next movie... Past nominations will have to be reposted if you want them to be added to this month's poll... Poll will go up on Tuesday and close on Friday. Because I was kind of intrigued by it, I'm going to include @PII's movie: Planet of the Vampires On 4/16/2024 at 2:45 PM, PII said: This reminds me of Ridley Scott and Dan O'bannon denying for years, or perhaps it was even decades; I'm uncertain, that they were inspired by the Mario Bava film "PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES" from 1965. They claimed that they had never seen the film and did not relent for a long time, but then years or decades later finally admitted to having seen the film prior to making ALIEN. I guess they didn't want to be accused of being rip-offs in the early days of ALIEN and then enough time passed that everyone could simply see it rather for the "heavy inspiration" that it really was. PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES, too cerebral for a B movie club?? And I'll also toss in one of my own: Runaway (1984) Written and directed by Michael Crichton. Tom Selleck is sort of an "animal control" officer, but for malfunctioning robots. He has to stop Gene Simmons, who is developing killer robots, including these robot spiders that I shamelessly ripped off for my comic book, "Bug Hunt" Edited May 7 by G-type 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PII | 1,972 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Don't anyone mistake my statement for condoning drug use but "Planet Of The Vampires" almost requires the viewer to Bogart a fat boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 4,138 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Faster Pussycat KILL KILL! is my recommendation. Should we make a rule that once you get a movie selection you have to wait until everyone has a go? That way we can get a good spread of movies and everyone feels included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,816 Editorials Team · Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I'm like 90% sure I've seen Pussycat, but there's so many weird 60s movie of that ilk (all shot in Southern California) that they all kind of run together in my head. But I'll check it out (again) either way. I couldn't wait and watched Streets of Fire again last night because I love it too much. I'll probably watch all the nominees each month 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickman | 4,138 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Oh wow FPKK inched out the win! Or is the voting still going? Also the video I posted was the full movie if people don’t have access to what Link is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
