Headitorial Ravings Welcome to the new 42P website courtesy of Todd Sheets and Extreme Entertainment. The other website will remain up , but this one will be updated weekly with rants , reviews, and deals. Yes deals. I’m going to offer some DVDs at the right price, but here’s the rub. To keep my prices low, I have to go the check and money order route. Yeah, it’s old school and it might be a pain in the ass, but some credit card companies and Pay Pal will not do business with you if you sell certain “Grindhouse” type products.
So look at it this way, there is no paper trail. No
one except me and you will know what you bought. What happens on
The Prices will be right and there will be incentives
for you to buy. Remember, 42P is not a corporate entity. I’m just a guy
trying to survive without selling out to the corporate mentality.

We arrived about 2pm Friday
and I actually had a table this time. After I unload all my shit, I ran
into William Forsythe having a smoke in front of the hotel. I had met Bill
at a Monster Mania, but now I really had a chance to talk to him. He is a
big fan of “tough guy” actors as I am also. We talked about Lee Marvin,
Oliver Reed, Neville Brand and others. I said that he would and is
mentioned right along with these guys. He told me what a dick Steve Segal
is and how out of control he was on “Out for
Justice”. I said you did the impossible,
you actually made him look good. Bill hung out with fans until the early
am hours. Others attending were all the guys who played Michael Meyers,
Leslie Easterbrook, Kyra Shone, and others. I met some really cool fans
Friday night at my table. It’s one thing to wander around the con and
smooze, it’s another thing to be at a table. I got to talk to some great
fans and found out that I had quite a following out
here. I was selling a lot of DVDS at
reduced rates. I had all my 8mm Madness stuff, plus Chainsaw Sally, Forced
Entry, and others. I sold out of Forced Entry Friday night. One website
reviewer urged people not to see it. I wanted to say something to that
dickhead as I feel no reviewer has the right to tell people what to see.
The fact that this was the 2nd show I sold out of this title
just reaffirms to me what a powerful film it
is. Saturday was time for the
panel. It had been moved into the bigger room as the fans really wanted to
see it. It was Ted V Mikels, Gary Kent, Andy Copp, Art Etenger, Ken Kish
and myself. I opened it up by introducing the guys, giving a brief bio,
and then we let it rip. I pulled a 16mm reel of film out and debunked
Tarentino’s missing reel trick by explaining that most of these films were
60 to 90 minutes in length, and to loose a reel would be losing half the
movie. Everyone had a story to tell,
then we opened it up to the fans. It went on for about 90 minutes. Looks
like I’ll do another one at the spring show. We had to leave early Sunday
as it was an 8 hour drive back to One thing I did find sort of
disturbing was a few indy film and magazine guys who seemed to be
resentful of their peers who had been fortunate enough to get a film
actually distributed. I wasn’t drinking that weekend(more on that later) ,
but a lot of others were and that led to a lot of shit talking. Being that
I had brought two indy films to Wasteland in the past, Acid Bath and
Pervert, The Movie, I was real happy when Pervert copped a distribution
deal. I like to see people succeed.
Unfortunately Acid Bath, although well received here, never got
distributed. Another film that I got a screener for, Frankenstein’s Bloody
Nightmare, also was out on a real DVD. Even though that film wasn’t my
type of film, I appreciated the effort behind it and I’m happy for it’s
creators that its out. People should be happy for their fellow artists
success, not bitter. When an indy film makes it, it gives hope to the rest
of us. This is not a competition, we are artists all striving to have our
stuff seen. We should support each other, not be jealous of someone’s
success. If any of you reads my blogs
on myspace, you will notice a certain thread that got way out of control.
While I was in Seka was rather rudely told
that “ I can’t be photographed with someone like you.” Seka reportedly
ripped him a new asshole . I posted this under “ He portrayed a Guy With A
Big Dick and He Turned Out To be A Big Dick Himself”. My regular readers
we cool with it , but then I was attacked by three voracious Kilmer fans.
These people told me that it had to be Seka, not Kilmer, who was out of
line. One of these nutsacks was from I could have killed that
thread at any time, but I believe in freedom of speech and expression, so
I let it fly. These fans were completely under the influence of “kool
aid”, their hero could do no wrong. They even said that the photos of the
obviously over weight and out of shape Kilmer were “doctored” . They kept
harping on this “charity” stuff that Val does and how over 1000 sweat
buffaloes were nurtured and released back into the wild thanks to Val’s
kindness. If you want to be charitable,
why not use your own money instead of charging fans $30 for an autograph
and another $30 for a picture taken with the fan’s own camera. I think
this really sucks and I wish someone would look in to these “charities” as
this money is all cash and who knows where it really winds up. I think the
whole overpriced autograph think is completely disrespectful to fans. But
as long as fans are willing to pay it, the practice will continue.
The whole “Val Battle” ,
mainly with two assholes, made me wonder if certain people don’t realize
that the guy they see on the screen isn’t the same way in real life. Some
people have a blind hero worship of movie stars, wrestlers, etc. They feel
that they actually “know” that person. You don’t, and, unless you marry
them, you never will. I noticed recently that
certain Myspace groups went from public to private recently. That smacks
of elitism. If you want to be a “members only “ thing, why be on Myspace
to begin with. Certain individuals and promotions think that they are
above criticism. They become “private” because they can’t handle being
told their faults and short comings. They basically lack the stones to
change or accept constructive criticism. Screw ‘em, who needs them
anyway.
I went to this overbearing
douche bags site only to find out that I had to pay a $30 fee to join his
“forum” and that he had to “approve” all content. First off, nice way to
keep angry grindhouse people like me from verbally filleting your
sphincter, 2nd, you call yourself a critic, but you refuse to
take criticism yourself for your words unless you approve
it. You are everything that is
wrong with internet review sites. You set yourself up like a king and you
pontificate. Now it’s my turn. Only a complete numbnuts would fail to see
what an important film Forced Entry is. It was the first porn/horror
hybrid. It was a chilling look into the mind of psycho sex killer. It may
have been Harry Reems’s best turn as an actor. It was the first film to
incorporate the use of Then , this “critic” goes on
to trash the “condition” of the film. There was never a 35mm print of this
film ,as this idiot suggests, that were buried in a backyard. Do some
fucking research before you
run your mouth. It was shot in 16mm. Previous releases were from old VHS
tapes, which were full of drop outs and bad cuts.
Then he goes on about the sex
scenes and the rape scenes. Got a flash for ya, this film was never meant
to be erotic, it’s an exploitation film that exploits the mental condition
of some of the guys suffering from PTSS. Yeah, the rape scenes are ugly to
watch because rape is ugly. He goes on and on about this and how they
didn’t have to show it. Hey asshole, this was 1970, a time of change and
experimentation. Costello had a big pair of balls to even film this. You
couldn’t do this today, it was chancy even then. Forced didn’t get
released until about two years after it was
finished. Guys like me and the companies I work with , take pride in
finding and restoring these films. Granted everyone is entitled to their
opinions, but to charge $30 to join your site and maybe get to post a
reply is bullshit. You tell people don’t watch it? Why not let them form
their own opinions instead of trying to be the yardstick of what’s good.
As a critic I have never said anything remotely disparaging as you did
about a film. You, my friend, represent everything that is wrong with
internet critics, you pontificate and think who you are, when in reality
you’re just a big mouth with a cute website. The $30 that I would have
spent to call you out is better spent on a copy of Forced Entry. Any time you
want to butt heads with me, just wave your $30 fee and let’s do
it. Earlier I had mentioned that I
wasn’t drinking at Wasteland. The day after labor Day , I was diagnosed
with prostate cancer. Don’t panic, it’s in it’s early stages and I opted
to have it removed. The only reason I even mention this is guys, we all
think we are indestructible. We aren’t. Yeah, it is a real cold feeling
when a doctor brings up the “C” word, and scary too. But I’ll beat this
fucker, just like I beat everything else life has thrown at me.
Next time you guys have a
physical, get the blood test. I was lucky they caught it early. One of the
people I really admired wasn’t so lucky. Frank Zappa died from this over
ten years ago. So get checked and don’t worry about 42P, I’ll be around to
set you people straight for as long as you want me to. Have a good turkey
day and stay safe. Later, 42P So far it’s a shitty summer on the east coast
I don’t know about other places in the country, but it’s been hot, cold, torrential down pours, flooding, etc. The only thing missing is locusts and frogs. Add to this a bunch of crappy “block buster” or lack luster movies, and it’s been a rotten summer so far.
The PC assholes are at it again, this time on the western channel. They are having a ‘Euro “ Western marathon this weekend. “Euro” ? What happened to “spaghetti” western? Since when did “spaghetti” become a derogatory term? Its not like they were called dago westerns, wop westerns, guinea westerns, etc. What gives? Now this PC shit is invading our turf? Fuck no!
So what next? Biker films will be now known as “motorcycle enthusiasts” films. Euro trash will now be known as “Euro Refuse Films” WIP films will now be know as “incarceration” films, etc. I could think of more , but this whole thing is giving me hives.
Sicko. Haven’t seen it, but have experienced it first hand. I have been down the HMO route for a couple of months due to two mini strokes. An HMO is bottom of the barrel health care. You get a book of doctors with names like Singh, Patel, Akbar, Park, etc. These are the guys who graduated Medical School with a ‘D’ average. You go in with one problem, they find six more. They “refer” you to other “specialists” that also don’t know shit. To date I have been through a battery of useless tests, I have been misdiagnosed , put through a lot of misery and still have no answers. Three Card Monte Medical Center I call it. Good health care is for the wealthy. If you can fork over a couple of grand a month, you get good care, if not , you get hacks for doctors.
Obviously the rich and dumb, yes dumb, think they are immune to illness because of their wealth and power. Got a flash for ya, a germ doesn’t care how much money you have or about your station in life. It will kill your ass dead just like us peons. Remember this when your illegal Bolivian housekeeper hocks up a blood stained loogie. These people are bringing back diseases that we eradicated, but these rich pricks give them jobs to save themselves money. Here’s hoping you all die in a pool of your own vomit.
Does money breed stupidity? Sure it does . Lindsey Lohan busted again for DWI and coke. I laughed my ass off when I found out that she was wearing an “alcohol monitor” . I’m surprised the fucker didn’t explode the minute it touched her. Some big moneyed foot ball player’s homies have a pitbull ranch and now he’s screwed. You just can’t give stupid people money or power. Look no futher than our fearless leader as proof. He is just “special”.

Bullshit Alert: Adult Website
Pull 8mm Madness 2 Off its Site For
Content
A little pissed
off and very curious, I checked out that website and other websites and
here’s some of the wonderful titles I found. Choked Out, Pissing
Princesses, She Male Pool Orgy, 1001 Cum Shots Volumes 1 to 30, Submission
of Cindy, Throat Gaggers, She Male MILFS, Mommy Knows Best, Big Black
Booty Breakers, Sluts in Slavery, Thick Azz Redbones, Latex Lounge, and
Bill and Andy’s Gay Bondage
Fantasies. Fuck you, you
hypocritical cocksuckers. Not only are you
fucking with the hardcore icon, your fucking with our hardcore heritage. I
agreed not to name this website, obviously run by a bunch of pussies. This
is adult entertainment and you have to have a certain amount of balls to
be in it. I stick my neck out when I do my stuff and not to pat myself on
the back, I think I do a pretty good job. I give you history, I give you
background info, and a lot of people tell me I’m a funny motherfucker when
I get going. So you want to
ban one of my titles, cool, knock yourself the fuck out. This will only
add to my legend and reputation that I take no shit from the RR or the
industry. A lot of people asked me how to fight this. Simple buy it from
the source , After hours Cinema or go to Xploitedcinema.com they carry my
stuff and a whole lot of other cool shit. And yeah, they got heat over
their horror titles from some douchebag. Or just order it from me. Easy as
that. And know, I’m
not backing off because of this. My next DVD, Extreme Sleaze Showcase will
be out in mid July. You want weird, you want sick, you want over the top
stuff, you’ll love this one. The sexual underground of the 70's . B&D,
S&M, Euro extreme, and not one, but two queen of kink, Linda Lovelace
loops, including the infamous foot loop in it’s entirety.
You like big
tits ? Cool my Busty Stag Collection , 8mm Madness Volume 4 will be out in
August and you can buy it in Borders. It’s soft core with big tits. Candy
Samples, Ushi Digart, Lilian Parker and more. Also in Juy , After Hours
will be releasing for the first time, Forced Entry. This could be the feel
good DVD of the summer. What makes this special is that it was taken off a
16mm print and is authorized by it’s director, Shaun Costello, who
graciously wrote the liner notes. Of course I’m there with some opinions
as well. It’s a grim
,twisted film that truly captures the gritty NYC ambiance of the 70's,
Starring an uncredited , pre Deep Throat Harry Reems. It’s a chilling
story of a deranged
A woman is tied
up and strangled, a child is smothered, and a man is found hung. A scene
from a new horror flick? No this was the last three days in the life of
pro wrestler Chris Benoit. Benoit , a former world champion, no showed his
pay per view appearance Sunday where he was slated to win the title.
Apparently Benoit strangled his wife Nancy, the former wrestling manager ,
Woman, on Friday. Smothered his seven year old son on Saturday. Then hung
himself on Sunday. He spent two
days in the house with the bodies before killing himself. What the fuck
happened? By all accounts Chris was known to be a great guy and loved his
family. Was it roid rage? Did he go insane? The WWE is shitting
bricks right now because soon it will be known that
their “wellness” policy is complete bullshit. Looks like a lot of former
employees are ready to open up about the rampant drug use in the WWE.
The Benoit death
come almost a year after his best friend, Eddie Guererro , died at 40
years old from a heart condition brought on by steroid use. It’s seem to
be a no brainer that the WWE encourages the use of steroids . If you don’t
want to play the game, there is always someone else willing to do it and
take your spot. A big thing was made of Sabu and RVD’s pot bust. They
disgraced the company. The only thing they did wrong was get caught. So
RVD refuses to renew his contract because he’s had it with the bullshit.
Sabu gets himself fired to get out of the WWE with his dignity
intact. It’s time to end
this shit. The WWE has blood on it’s hands and this time it’s not going to
go away. You don’t have to be a ‘roided up monster to get over. Go to any
indy show. The most over guys are normal looking, hard working wrestlers
who bust their asses to put on a good show. If nothing else, putting this
in the spotlight might save some live and level the playing field and
break the strangle hold the WWE has on the
business. It sucks that
this had to happen. What drove this man to kill his family? Did the drugs
effect his mind and drive him over the edge? Maybe will never know. The
more details that come out, the sicker this whole thing gets.
Unfortunately sometimes real life is sicker than any horror film . May
they all rest in piece and hopefully something will be done so that this
horror will never happen again.
