It Came From The Man Cave!: February 2018

The Ranch Part 4

Creators:
Jim Patterson
Don Reo

Stars:
Ashton Kutcher
Danny Masterson
Debra Winger
Sam Elliott

The son of a Colorado rancher returns home from a semi-pro football career to run the family business.

So after part 3, I wondered if the series had jumped the shark, and with season four that feeling did not really go away. It was not until the final episodes that the show got its feet back. The deep drama was still planted firmly with the comedy placed on the back burner. And now the looming question how will Danny Masterson exit the show. With Masterson's sex abuse allegations against him, netflix rightfully so has cut ties with the star. The truly sad news, Masterson was the best part of the show. And after this season ended I'm not looking forward to part 5.

Like I said the last few episodes found it's funny once again even tho there was plenty of drama to go around. Maggie comes home this time around to find Roster has not done such a hot job running the bar, Colt asks Abby to marry him and Bou has a grabber. And just like every other show, I watch by the third season I lose interest and if I can hang on the fourth its a miracle. So honestly the show is worn out and the only reason I will check into the fifth season would be to see how the write off Danny.

Can I tell you how much I hate writing on this old laptop lol! Oh, what started out as the funniest thing on the small tube has fallen short on laugh's and has run out of ideas. If your a fan please let me know in the comments below oh you feel about the past few seasons.

Sadly...

5 Playgirls Walked Innocently Into His Arms...

A feckless troupe of European exotic dancers and their piano player led by a bumbling manager stumble upon a castle after encountering a ferocious storm. The castle, inhabited by Count Gabor, his assistant, and a vampire, is a little refuge for the traveling showgirls as they slowly fall under the spell of the undead demon. Vera, one of the reluctant dancers and the living doppelgänger of the vampire's dead wife, Margherita Kernassy—who has been dead nearly 200 years—becomes the object of affection for both Count Gabor and the vampire

What is better than sparkling Vampires? How about 5 playgirl go-go dancers? Well with no glitter like today's playgirls. In fact, these girls are prim and propper oh those Italians and their crazy horror movies. But let's be fair Piero Regnoli brings a fun little flick that has more going for it then you would expect.

L’ultima Preda del Vampiro which in translation: “The Vampire’s Last Prey”- is a 1960 Italian horror film written and directed by Piero Regnoli, a scriptwriter who also co-wrote Riccardo Freda’s "I Vampiri", "Nightmare City" and "Demonia". Here in the US, the film was released by Richard Gordon (Tower of Evil; Horror Hospital) in 1963. A shortened American TV version was retitled Curse of the Vampire. And with minimal vampirism and even less gore, this erotic (for 1960) is a fun low-level entry into the Vampire flicks.

The one thing that sticks out to me is the look and feel that the movie transfers you into. You can almost smell the musty cold dungeon. I also really enjoyed the vision when it comes to the lighting and the way it was filmed. The only time I was taken out of the movie's atmosphere happens when the dubbing does not come close to the movement on the screen.

In 1959 Russ Myer stepped up the erotica in the film "The Immoral Mr. Teas" that kicked off the Nudie-cutie movement. When your watching Playgirls you wonder what it would have looked like if they would have waited a few more years. For such a suggestive title and a film that was considered and Adult Flim, this movie falls way short on nudity, and that is ok. We get some see-through lingerie at time's and one pair of breast's hidden in the shadows, those Italians know how to rock!

One of the most rememberable moments comes from the soundtrack with its piercing violin's and its melodic score help you wrap your mind into the world before you. As well as the folly work on Playgirls with sound effects hitting on all the right levels.

Even the special effects for a low budget flick are pretty spot on. In conclusion, Playgirls and the Vampire is a slow burn that leaves you wanting just a bit more. This was a fun little vampire story that was just a bit ahead of its time.

Not so Funny Netflix!

Fred Armisen: Standup For Drummers
2018 | color | 1 Hour | Stand up Comedy | PG | Netflix

Comedian and drummer Fred Armisen perform stand-up material, music, and sketches for an audience of fellow drummers.

Now being a drummer myself I was very intrigued by this idea. With special guest's like Sheila E. to Greenday's Tre Cool, I decided to sit down to enjoy a little standup.

Hmm, not so sure what this is I'm watching but its safe to say Im not laughing. This guy is not funny at all and the drum jokes yeah I get it but no really?

I guess simply put if you like Fred Armisen (I could not get into Portlandia at all) you might like this but for me to you even if your a drummer skip this! I laughed a few times but hardly worth my time.

Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo

Director: Stuart Hagmann

Writers: John Groves, Guerdon Trueblood

Stars:

Claude Akins

Charles Frank

Deborah Winters

An airplane carrying coffee beans from South America has some unpleasant stowaways: a hoard of tarantulas which overcome the pilots as the airplane is flying over an orange-producing town in California. The airplane crashes, and the unlucky inhabitants of the town release the poisonous spiders into their midst. Once the town's officials discover that the tarantulas are responsible for several deaths, the tarantulas have already descended upon the town's only orange-processing factory. The town's citizens risk their lives to remove the tarantulas from the factory while the poisonous pests are rendered motionless by the transmitted sound of buzzing bees.

“Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo” crash-lands on MeTV tonight at 8 pm eastern/pacific, 7 central, or, if you’re unsure about when and where to find us, check your local listings, or at www.metv.com . Again, there have been channel changes in L.A., Seattle, and St. Louis, so that MeTV site’s “where to watch” tab can help you find the current channels in those locations. Once again, let me remind you that MeTV encourages you to “live –Tweet” during the show on Twitter, and use the hashtag #svengoolie if you do. Last week, we ended up trending among the top Tweets again, thanks to our viewers. This morning in the Chicago area, WCIU, the U, will be infested by “Ants!” at 11 am.( You’d think the cold snowy weather would keep that from happening… at least tarantulas are prepared, with their little fur coats!)
