The Wonderful Women of Hammer Horror
Oh, lordy lordy! What a wonderful time the 1960's and early 1970's were for horror-philes! The big, big player in all this was the wonderful British film studio Hammer Films. And oh, how many times did Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing encounter a lovely, buxom, scantily-clad young beauty in distress? Or, for that matter, with fangs?

If these images proved...heh heh heh...titillating for you, I highly recommend the recently published photo-book Hammer Glamour and the Hammer Glamour 2012 Calendar. You can...heh heh heh...fang me later!

The Thief and the Cobbler
Cover of The Thief And The CobblerIf you've never seen the animated classic The Thief and the Cobbler, you are missing out. Unfortunately there is a long history behind this movie and it's convoluted path to the large screen.
The brainchild and masterpiece of animator Richard Williams, the movie took nearly 31 years to complete. Williams began work on the film in 1964 and it languished in and out of production for nearly two decades. Until...
The success of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Williams' success as an animation director on the Oscar-winning live-action/animation milestone garnered the attention of Warner Bros. films. Unfortunately for Williams, Disney's Aladdin was seen as a threat. Under tight deadline, Williams was unable to finish production on time. Warner's pulled out, the Completion Bond Company took control and the rest is a mish-mosh of a horribly re-cut animation masterpiece. Until...
The unofficial fan restoration, The Thief and the Cobbler: the Recobbled Cut. Industrious and hard working fans re-cut the film to a close facsimile of the original workprint of the movie.
Now, thanks to YouTube and a group of dedicated fans, Xemnu presents: The Recobbled Cut. Enjoy!

Home Movies of DUNE
I recently stumbled across this little gem. Apparently filmed by Sean Young in 1983, this video chronicles some of the behind-the-scenes bits during the making of David Lynch's Dune.
I'm a big sci-fi geek/fan of the original Frank Herbert novel and this movie should make for an interesting post at a later date. For now we get an interesting glimpse into the making of a movie that should have been much, much better.
