While new episodes of a couple of last year's favorites made an appearance and a few classics were thrown into the mix, everything shown was new to Animazement. 01 - Love Missle F1-11 - Courtesy of Sigue Sigue Sputnik. "The 80's were like this _all the time_." 02 - Blood Splattered Bride/I Dismembered Mama trailer - Fun exploitation meta-trailer with filmgoers offering reaction to the double-feature. 03 - Johnny Cypher in Dimension Zero (Shadow People) - Introduced as my concession to putting anime in "Anime Hell" (which the event is still billed as in the program book). Thanks again to Jerry Beck. 04 - Kure Kue Takora Ep. 120 - Wherein Private Takora frags his superior officer. 05 - "Let Go with an L&M" commercial - AKA "f**k it, I'm smoking!". 06 - The Last ABBA Video Ever - Where all four members of ABBA make cameo appearances, as puppet versions of them bump and grind disturbingly in an attempt to sell "Waterloo" to the Swedish Eurovision reps. 07 - Face-Off Pimples ad - From the film Putney Swope. 08 - The Wizard of Speed and Time - The original short, as lovingly restored by Neil Nadelman, used here to kick off a bit of retro Hell. 09 - Fish Heads - The original short, captured for the Hell from an old Rhino VHS tape of comedy videos. I figured that while a lot of the audience probably recognized the song, like me they had probably never seen the video either. Complete with "follow the bouncing fish head" sing-a-long action! 10 - A clip from the Gong Show movie - While the film itself is terrible, it does have several best-of segments that are pre-cut for your Hell pleasure, the second of which featured The Popcicle Twins and JP Morgan flashing her breasts. Triva note: the film finale has Tom Lehrer performing "The Vatican Rag". 11 - Lee Press-On Limbs - A wonderfully tasteless cartoon courtesy of Liquid Television. 12 - Billy's Balloon - While this has been around for ages and has already been a staple of other Hells, I had never shown it, so I figured I'd put my copy of Bitter Films Vol. 1 to good use. Good lord, the audiance damn near rioted. Apparently a whole helluva lot of people hadn't seen this one and it brought the house down. 13 - Koko's Earth Control (Liquid TV Edit) - There's a lovely full-length version of this early Fleischer weirdness floating around online, but the Liquid Television edit adds bizzare music and cuts out some of the live-action sight gags. 14 - Frank "Whim Grinder" - Based on the Jim Woodring comic. Short but sweet weirdness. 15 - Broken Down Film - Very clever experimental animation by Osamu Tezuka ala Jumping. 16 - The Raiders of Atlantis trailer - Goofy 80s would-be blockbuster with everything, up to and including laser beam eyes. 17 - "Winnebago Spring Rally" commercial - Ah, the early 70s. 18 - Dawn of an Evil Millennium clip - Providing the evening's "this isn't funny, it's just incredibly weird...okay, maybe it is funny" moment, the first 11 minutes or so of this student film gone horribly wrong from some guys who spent all their free time in LA watching Blade Runner and Scanners over and over again. 19 - The Bullet Machine trailer - A British exploitation flick with the good sense to add boobies to it's scenes of machine gun vengeance. 20 - Edelweiss, "Bring Me Edelweiss" - Early 90s dance hit video which combines the twin charms of drinking heavily and sampling ABBA. "Austria is like this _all the time_. 21 - Baby's Gang, "Happy Song" - Italo disco cheesefest, introduced as the trailer for the new Harry Potter flick. 22 - Vivian Vee, "Higher" - Meanwhile, this was introduced as the finale of the "Europe must pay for it's musical sins with fire and salt" segment and provided the high point of the evening. During a live performance sometime in the mid-80 Vivian Vee (who isn't terribly offensive) is backed up by four men in spandex, leather collars, and bad perms who show off astonishingly bad dance moves. The room lost their shit and when the choreography started to repeat dancers immediately took the front of the room, leading half of the audiance along in a frenzied dance-off. God, I love disco. 23 - Bernard's Letter - A short film extra from the third Black Books DVD collection. 24 - Jason the Terrible and Zodiac - Several minutes of surreal ranting from an early-80s Canadian wrestling promotion, repleate with awesome blue-screen starfield effects. 25 - Girl Boss Gurellia trailer - From the Pinky Violence DVD collection. 26 - Plus Electrification - Finally, a nine minute 1972 animated propaganda film about the joys of bringing electricity to the entire Soviet Union. This required heavy patter but paid off nicely, particularly once a slow middle section lead into the glorious Communist future where electricity would be used to destroy mountains, turn Siberia into a tropical paradise, and build utopian cities out of rain. Hurrah for communism! Hurrah for electricity! Hurrah for Hell! *** Played in '08 Here's the playlist of the 2008 Hell. Everything shown was new to the Animazement Hell. 01 - Emergency Broadcast Network, "Psychoactive Drugs" - Try psychoactive drugs. 02 - Blitz beer commercial - The first ad from our commercial sponsors. "The light beer with real beer flavor!" 03 - A short warning trailer explaining via a cute cartoon lion that the following feature is for restricted audiences only. 04 - Super President in "Day of the Locust" - "The great desire to serve his country in the cause of justice has brought James Norcross to the highest office in the land!" 05 - Gymkata trailer - The skill of gymnastics...the kill of karate! 06 - Burning Safari - A cheerfully deranged short from the Gobelins animation school about the eternal battle of monkey versus robot. 07 - Kure Kure Takora Episode 126 - Wherein Takora is armed with a machine gun and all hell breaks loose. 08 - Look Around You: Sulphur - "Mark that down in your copybook now." 09 - Twinkle Tits - Courtesy of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. "Always a snug fit/That'll be Twinkle Tits". 10 - Maximum the Hormone, "Bikini Sports Ponchin" - Now, that's what I call J-Pop. 11 - Evolution Control Committee, "Lunch" - Potato salad? Potato salad! Potato salad? Potato salad! 12 - Negativland, "Over the Hiccups" - A cheerful short that fully demonstrates the gentle nature of our audience. 13 - Bambi Meets Godzilla - Kicking off the Retro Hell segment, I was pleased to see that this old chestnut still gets big laughs. 14 - Terry Gilliam's "Story Time" - Deranged proto-Python animation circa the late 60s. 15 - Vicious Cycles - The classic Chuck Menville and Len Janson short. 16 - Werewolves on Wheels - Continuing the motorcycle mayhem. 17 - Le Building - Another crazed short by the Gobelins school. 18 - Mighty Mr. Titan - Our boy Titan provided a much needed exercise break for the Hell audience. Everyone followed along cheerfully until we got to the sit-ups...and then only the really hardcore followed along. Skip ahead to 3:13 in the clip I link to for a full Mighty Mr. Titan episode you can exercise along with at home. 19 - The DDT Heavy Metal Title Defense Match - Wherein six Japanese professional wrestlers attempt to win the coveted Heavy Metal belt from the defending champion - a ladder. Kudos to David Smith for offering the superior wresting commentary necessary to pull this off. 20 - A mid-70s public service announcement promoting seat belts through their potential for use as a fashion accessory. 21 - Verka Serduchka, "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" - The live performance of this song from last year's Eurovision contest was a YouTube favorite, but the even more demented official music video wasn't as widely spread, so I succumbed to the urge to break this one out. 22 - E-Rotic, "Help Me Dr. Dick" - Continuing the "Europe Must Pay For It's Musical Sins With Fire And Salt". 23 - Skatetown U.S.A. trailer - Starring Scott Baio and Patrick Swayze, both of whom I'm sure are desperately hoping they can forget this particular cinematic gem. 24 - More Dates For Kay - A short film educating audiences since the early 50s about the importance of being an overeager stalker in order to meet guys. 25 - The Babysitter trailer - Meanwhile, Candy shows that there are other ways to pick up men. 26 - Hobo With A Shotgun - "We're going to hell and you're riding shotgun!" 27 - Osamu Tezuka's "Jumping" - I've had a copy of this for a while but had somehow never managed to get around to showing it at the Animazement Hell. Happily, this has now been rectified. 28 - "The Big Win" - The most delightful lottery promotion I've ever seen. 29 - A PSA on the looming threat of credit card marriage licenses, courtesy of the Christian Reformed Church. 30 - Everything Will Be OK - And for our finale, Don Hertzfeldt'z latest epic. The link is only for the trailer; go give your cash to Don at the Bitter Films website if you'd like to see the flick. And there you have it. Once again, we were pleased to fill main events to capacity and the crowd seemed well and truly rocked by the selections. Thanks to David Smith, William Bloodworth, and Ben Elgin for their help in making it all happen.
