I've been a fan of the Phantasm series since I was a youngster. The Tall Man and Reggie and Mike all just fascinate me. Even the sequels, which most would consider cornball, all have a special place in my heart. I guess I'm sentimental. Phantasm was the first "R" rated movie that by big brother ever snuck me in to. I think I was about 13 at the time, and you can imagine how cool a guts and gore movie like that would be to a middle schooler.

Anyway, Coscarelli has a new film, and I can't wait to see it. The premise absolutely RULES! From what I understand, it goes like this... Elvis never died. He's living in an East Texas nursing home. He discovers that a demon is stealing the souls of the other nursing home residents by sucking it out of their assholes. Elvis and another resident then go on to do battle with the butt-sucking demon.

Man, I totally can't wait to see this!!!

Rock on, Coscarelli!!!

I've heard about this. My friend had a copy and said it was hilarious, but he had to give it back so I didn't get a chance to see it. Can't wait.

This movie's been around for a long time.  It's just never been properly distributed.  Just doing festivals and conventions and various Bruce Campbel events.

I still haven't had a chance to see it, but did ask Bruce Campbell about it a few months ago and he said it was one of his favorites that he's been in.

I also have a friend who saw it and said it was great.  Hope I get a chance to see it sometime.

Thank you for doing a search and finding a pre-existing thread before starting a new one, thus avoiding making me redirect it and mogwai locking it, like a certain member I know.

i do my best.  i fucked up the other day because the thread was so badly mistitled, but i try to keep your work to a minimum.  actually i didnt even do i search, because i remember having read through most of the damn threads and this one caught my eye.  so i remembered to go back to it, (although technically shouldnt it be in GRAPEVINE?) but, i cant wait.

I posted my thoughts on this after SXSW west, where I saw it with the director present.

It was what you would want from this film after you hear about it... I really liked it.

Full Sail program?
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.

RegularKarate

I went to Full Sail.

Was going down there last year to see the final films (friend of a friend was completing the program). Didn't make it but I have seen some of the graduates work. Good stuff. Did you like it?

yeah, he went to full sail.  the stuff i saw was pretty crappy.  it looked nice, but the storytelling was pretty shitty.  it was like shot nicely on film, but they clearly (because they were spending so much damn money on the film stock) didnt really have the time to use any creativity, nor coax any sort of decent performances out of their actors. they should have shot on DV and gotten something decent.

I'm at Full Sail right now and most of the student work is horrible. The screenwriting class is a month long and they refuse to grade you on content, so all you learn is format. For those who know screenwriting already, you don't learn anything, for those who don't know anything, they learn format. I still think this place is a ton of fun and there is more equipment here than at most film schools and it's much more hands on. I'm enjoying it but I'm sure it won't get me a job, you've got to do that on your own.
My assholeness knows no bounds.
