The Ohio Sci-Fi and Horror Marathons

I am sill pulling for Transformers the (animated) movie. There is still intrest in the Transformers. Michael Bay and Speilberg are making a big budget live action version of the Transformers. Here is the some info about the flick.

Director: Nelson Shin (did the lightsabers effects for Star Wars) "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends"

Featuring the Voices of

Peter Cullen (Eeyore, Op. Prime)

Frank Welker (Nibbler from Futurama, Fred Jones from Scooby Doo)

Eric Idle (Monty Python)

Robert Stack (Untouchables)

Casey Kasem (Shaggy from Scooby Doo)

Scatman Crothers (The Shining)

Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek)

Orson Welles (Citizen Kane)

Susan Blu (Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, Beast Wars, Smurfs)

Who can past up with a cast like this. Sony did a 2 disc 20th annv. ed of the movie. Plus the Sci Fi thon supposed to be more family friendly? right? I'll support the guy who wants Jason X for this year's thon.

Without going into the argument about whether your desire for it to be shown would be a minority opinion, most of the time when a studio is on the verge of a high profile remake, prints of earlier films or in this case similarly licensed films become unavailable. This was the case specifically for us with King Kong and War of the Worlds a couple years ago.

Is this one of your Earth "jokes?"

Transformers (2007) is not a remake of the animated moive. It is more of a loose adaptation of Gen One Transformers. Plus Sony owns the right of the TF Animated movie now. All Sunbow production TV series/movies is owned by Sony now. The Live Action movie is being done by Dreamworks/Paramount. They have no claims to the animated movie.

Man, you go away for a few days and see what happens?

Personally, you could show just about anything and I'd be there. Except for maybe a tender romantic film starring Bruce and Joe. That'd just be wrong.

...or would it?

They were already brought together as a freak of nature in the:

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DREXEL: REVENGE OF THE TWO HEAD HORROR HOST GAME

Bruce and Joe are mutated into THE TWO HEADED MARATHON KILLER and only Anna The General Manager can save all the marathoners:



Be carefull or Anna may lose her head!!!

Okay. I do have a request not to show a movie: the colorized PLAN 9. First of all, it's not even a film print, correct? Secondly, COLORIZED?!?!??!!?? I know the film isn't CITIZEN KANE, but as far as bad movies go, it's close!

Oh, and if you show FLASH GORDON, you'll be my hero.

OOH! Just noticed SHE! I've been dying to see that one. It's infamous!!!!

I will keep pulling for Transformers the animated movie. Plus this movie.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0086189/

How about The Return of Captain Invincible? It stars academy award winning actor Alan Arkin and Christopher Lee.

Line up looks great and the "You had me at worm rape scene" post made my morning.

What about The Host?

Is there even a snowball's chance of getting that film?
Or are new films like that not available for single screenings?
I've seen some fantastic reviews for it.

THE HOST is opening nationally in the next week or two so, as much as we'd like to, we won't be able to include it.

I had hoped for a bit more news, but this is what is confirmed:

KING DINOSAUR (1955) There's new planet in our solar system just begging to be visited. The two man, two woman expedition confront giant beasties, including lizards in makeup recycled from ONE MILLION B.C. and more stock footage than you've seen in one place in a long time. From the always amusing low-budget king Bert I. Gordon.

FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE SPACEMONSTER (1965) Martians in search of bikini-clad breeding stock to repopulate their devastated planet clash with a robot astronaut run amok. Filmed in Cocoa Beach and Puerto Rico with a swingin' soundtrack by the Poets and the Distant Cousins.

MINDWARP: AN INFINITY OF TERROR aka GALAXY OF TERROR (1981)
Here's a Roger Corman-produced ALIEN-inspired cheapie with Erin Moran, Ray Walston, Robert Englund, Sid Haig and production design by James Cameron. A space rescue mission goes horribly awry as crew members are done in by their worst nightmares including the above-mentioned giant worm incident.

CHOPPING MALL (1986)
The new robotic mall security guards take no prisoners. What a bad night for an after hours teen make out party in the furniture store. Kelli Maroney stars as the new girl in town, lightning strikes, a head explodes, and Mary Woronov, Paul Bartel and Dick Miller stop by to pick up quick pay checks.

SLITHER (2006)
More worm problems! David Cronenberg's THEY CAME FROM WITHIN meets Brian Yuzna's SOCIETY meets TREMORS in this small town alien invasion B-movie slugfest with all the pizzazz a modern special effects budget allows.

Plus a SURPRISE CLASSIC to help clear your palate of all this cheese.

Hopefully a Premiere or two.

and many more!

Plus trailers, cartoons, shorts, contests, chrome survivor certificates, and other thrills too numerous to mention...

And experience oneness with the Marathoid Throng for an entire planetary rotation!

Phew! For a minute there, I though you said, "Marathoid THONG!"

Ewwwww.

Seriously, as a devotee of Cinema du Fromage I am totally jazzed about the selection so far. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, BRUCE!

Thanks for the answer. I saw that it's opening in 74 theaters today, and I wasn't sure just how big of a release that counts as. Big enough to preclude it from this marathon I suppose.

Sounds like a fun line-up so far. Looking forward to it.

I got goosebumps! Please please please get pilfer Robocop from boston and 12 Monkeys from Boston 2006!!!!!! I wouldn't care what else you got if you got those two. I always rail against new movies and I haven't changed my mind in theory, but since we always have one, I'm glad it's Slither. I just watched it 2 weeks ago for the third time, knowing full well that we'd probably get it. I don't remember Chopping Mall at all so it should be fun, and as far as I know it's not on DVD either. Great job Bruce and Co.
