plus it was definitely affected by the "we have to be SERIOUS about this" mentality after homie slammed back too many of the Olsen twins prescriptions.
The actress was very beautiful although I found it a bit odd that the film seems to aim to make us wanna fuck the shit out of this 15-16 year old character or maybe Lily Cole's just too damn hot!

I remember being ill as a kid and having to stay home from school for a couple of weeks and watching Nuke 'Em High and Return of the Living Dead on a virtual loop the entire time. Happy days.

Yeah, the FIRST (first only) Nuke'Em High is probably the only Kaufman film I really love, with Citizen Toxie coming close, too. As much as I love Troma, I'm more into the non-directed-by-Lloyd films, and I actually straight-up dislike a few of his films..

Also, I felt like Terror Firmer was just a bloodier Cecil B. Demented. Didn't see the appeal at all, a brilliant scene or two here or there. Really, his pre-Toxic Avenger movies, like Stuck on You! and the First Turn-On, are actually his most unique and interesting films.

I liked this movie just fine, mainly the crazy set design, but didn't it just feel like a Mighty Boosh episode, with a tacked-on "twist"? It should have just been a Mighty boosh episode, would've been way better that way, since Noel and Julian's cameos are actually quite distracting and don't fit the film. Also, the girl was annoying. I sound like I'm complaining a lot, but I liked the film. |

Terror Firmer is super long yes. It's incredibly self-indulgent. I think that is the appeal. It's basically SCREAM 3. Starring Troma dudes. I don't know. I thought it was a lot of fun. yeah, like I've said I've seen a LOT of Troma stuff. I actually own a ton of the old VHS. I can't remember, was that early one with Kevin Costner directed by Lloyd or not? Um. What was it called? Squeeze Play? I have that somewhere for instance.

ah yeah Sizzle Beach. I get confused becuz there's a ton of Troma shiz that I watched becuz Lloyd directed or mentioned in one of his two books. And then there's a pile of them that I watched becuz they were on the giant wiki list of USA UP ALL NIGHT flicks. So i can't keep track.

shirin - 6/10 This whole film is like the screenshots above. It's 118 different women staring at a theater screen. The only "Action" is the dialogue/sound effects from the movie they're watching on the screen (which is never shown), and their faces. Yet it was quite compelling and brilliant, if "difficult" hah. |
