I'll have to readjust myself to write about those films again, but maybe I'll tighten it up. And add some links, mainly to Imdb. I'm just way behind my reading reports - Estleman, Cerasini, Kevin Wignall, Jean-Patrick Manchette... and haven't had time to any bloggy odds and ends which I find so fascinating.Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-67714554297011223102007-04-23T00:42:00.000+03:002007-04-23T00:42:00.000+03:00You're welcome, Peter.

So, I'm always game for your reviews of homebrew in English.

I thought it wasn't a big interest to foreigners here (and I'd already posted a chunk of the post here to an e-mail list I'm on, so I used parts of it for a larger audience). <BR/><BR/>Yes, The Day the Earth Froze was based on Finnish-Soviet material from 1959 and I'll be writing something about it whenever I get the time. The original movie is also a very wild one, even though it might not be as campy as the Corman movie. There sure are lots of campy elements that must've bugged Corman when he first saw this... <BR/><BR/>And yes, thank you, I'm already much better. The pills worked their way and I wasl already out biking early on Sunday. And as for Vachss and Lansdale - the story isn't as wild as you'd think it to be, but it's unpredictable, all right.Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-44086424816431373142007-04-22T08:43:00.000+03:002007-04-22T08:43:00.000+03:00Thanks, Todd.
