Mexploitation Madness!

This year I have decided to dress up for Halloween (something I rarely do) as a luchador, complete with a nice mask, a suit and an old red briefcase I will use to carry spare masks in!

I'm already practicing being scary!



In honor of one of my go-to genres of film and pro-wrestling, lucha libre...

...inspired by my amazing choice in costume this year (ahem) and the luchador tattoo I have on my chest - designed by yours truly to resemble my own face (yep, I'm that vain)...

...because this month leads right up to El Dia De Los Muertos on November 1 and 2, a celebration both my wife and I have had long term fascinations with (at the very least the aesthetic of it all...

...because Mexican culture in general has been a great interest of mine for many many years...

...and well, fuck, because I just have an itching to watch some trashy Mexican cinema.....

I declare October MEXPLOITATION MONTH on Assorted Loaf.

Get excited

OK, are you done?

I hope it's not a stupid decision for me to jump into another theme once again, but I had a blast digging into Castellari's films last month, and while this will certainly not be as in-depth, it is not a region of film I am all that familiar with.

Obviously I will have a couple, maybe even a handful of lucha films, but I hope to cover a wide variety, but keeping it with the theme of my reviews here lately.

You know, culty trashy, fun.

Here's a peek at some stuff I may be checking out and reviewing in the near future. This is gonna be fun!

Suddenly an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof. He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.

No 211 - Moulin Rouge! Director - Baz Luhrmann I remember very vividly when I first saw this film. I was in sixth form when it came out, and was a student of 'Theatre Studies', so there was naturally a lot of talk about this overtly theatrical piece. However, I was not convinced that I would enjoy it, it looked overtly soppy, a chicks film. Finally I was convinced to go and see it (Tom Done, who was in the year above and who was utterly terrifying, though who is now a good friend, won me over by stating the line I have used as a title. Surely a film MUST be good if it features unconscious Argentinians and cross dressing dwarfs!). So one evening I went to the Regent cinema in Wantage ( now shut down ) with my best friends Hanna and Richard . The film completely blew me away, and is the only film that has managed to firmly grab my attention in the first second, as the curtains open and the conductor arrives to play the 20th Century Fox theme. It uses the production company's

.408 CheyTac Fredo Viola Aug 29, 10:51 AM This is a real bummer to me. I pride myself on making as little an impact on the environment as I can, but make my living using computers to make music... and I use all Apple products... so I'm feeling really guilty about this right now. 408 CheyTac final.jpg appleguy123 Apr 22, 10:32 PM Because it is the third longest example of drift on PRSI (for now) and since appleguy123 started that one, of course he wants it to continue. Caught! :D Knowing how the PRSI works one naive bump could help me achieve the record. Maadi-Griffin 50BMG Pistol Draythor Apr 13, 04:33 PM GGJstudios Thanks, man.
