Merry Xmas!
And Happy New Year!
Here’s hoping 2013 is better for all of us!
(Now tell all your friends to start following LERNER INTERNATIONAL!)
(please!)
I don’t really like the holiday season, but must pay
it some respect, if only as a form of
supernatural self-defense—which is why the image up top is Chuck Heston aping
the Big JC (Happy B-day, you crazy peace-lovin’ lug, you!) from the conclusion of the underrated post-apocalypse flick /commentary
on important stuff The Omega Man—oh,
look to the right, and there’s yours truly in happier days!
The Holidays are a haunted and forlorn season, infused
with more pained ghosts and evil hobgoblins than Halloween.
This time of year gives me the shivers in more ways
than one.
However, today we do look at a film that touches on
drug addiction, prostitution, racism, sexism, mysticism, degeneration, transgression,
narcotics trafficking, and all the sordid aspects of the “Yellow Peril” hiding
in the slums and sewers of America!
In other words, the perfect Xmas movie!
