Well, I am currently living in Texas because of...well you know...and I've mentioned it a few times, then there's my obsured Eastwood/western obsession, so that's understandable. As for being offended, I most certainly was not.

Why am I selling it? To free up some space on the shelf and to pay a bill or two...
And also...sometimes, after I see a movie a couple of times, I memorize it, and then I don't need the veedeeo anymore. Seriously, Curse of the Demon is cool, and the demon creature they built (a combination of a suit and a puppet) is actually really scary looking! The way they decided to film it and use it is undeniably creepy and powerful. It does look like a demon from hell and it does look like it could really give a person what for. Man!

I sometimes get carried away when I post things on Ebay and write really long, bizarre and unnecessary ads. For your enjoyment and mine, here's what the INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN VHS ad says:
************************************** MOVING FORWARD, USING ALL MY BREATH........This is one of those flicks that is just perfect for a lazy Saturday afternoon, you mix up some lemonade and watch a good piece of schlock like this. Most people don't take this one too seriously; it is enjoyed more for its high camp value than anything else. Allow your mind to drift back to a time when films like "The Incredible Melting Man" were released in theatres...back when they made cheesy movies for a few hundred thousand or a million, instead of the sixty-to-eighty-million-dollar garbage we are stuck with nowadays. Folks, this is vintage crap, from back in the day when they knew how to really do it! Ah, memories. Fantastic! It's a NEW, FACTORY SEALED copy of THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN, the fabulously gory 1970's movie. THE MELTING MAN...a tragic victim of the space race, he perished MELTING...never comprehending the race had LONG GONE BY! (I'm sorry folks, but I just LOVE writing these ads sometimes.) You know, it is embarassing for me to tell this to people, but despite how silly this movie is, it is really wonderful and entertaining, and it is certainly a product of its time. In the 1970's you could make a film about basically anything and tell the story basically any way you wanted. Maybe you haven't seen this movie? This has that scene (everyone's favorite) with the fisherman losing his head as a result of a run-in with the Melting Man of the title. The head is hurled like a rubber football into the stream the fisherman was previously fishing in (of course). We then get to follow the nicely-built false head floating downstream, which is really for no reason at all because it does nothing to advance the story. And THEN, we are treated to an image of the head going over a waterfall and smashing graphically open on the rocks below!! It's astoundingly gratuitous, and one of the images that defines the movie and its time period: It's just nuts! Featuring a really admirable performance from Burr DeBenning, who plays the doctor whose job it is to locate the melting man before he kills again, and again. DeBenning plays a thankless character and was given some of the most idiotic dialogue in screen history, and wisely chose to simply dive in and play the whole thing with a straight face. He does a good job considering what he was given to work with. AND, let's definitely not forget Alex Rebar, who plays the title character in different foam rubber makeups designed by Rick Baker. He barely has one scene showing him before the melting, and then it's rubber, glue and slime the whole rest of the way. If you stop and consider how much fun it must be to wear a costume completely soaked in sticky slime on a cold night in the middle of a desert somewhere, well, it's not hard to appreciate Rebar's performance. And, thanks to the magic of videotape, you can sit back and enjoy Rebar's discomfort while eating popcorn. This movie is gruesome and horrible, and also unintentionally hilarious! A dripping horror monster that's never short on slime...a crazed astronaut with an urge to KILL, and who gets STRONGER as he MELTS. (Hey, I know it doesn't make sense, but it's in the script!) Keep it sealed and fresh on your shelf, or peel it open and watch a nice tasty new copy today! At an INCREDIBLE low price! Grab this one before it melts away!

...And a beer snob?
You know, Newb, I thought of you the other day. I was watching the Stick figure videos, and saw an add for Bastard Ale in the background of one of the videos. I was like, "Hey! It's Newb!" Just a little anecdote to share.
