BLACK ROSES (1988)

Black Roses 1BLACK ROSES (1988) – This legendarily laughable attempt at a horror film belongs to quite a few niche sub-genres. It’s a Canadian horror movie, it’s one of the wonderfully campy Heavy Metal Horror productions of the 1980s and most importantly for trivia lovers Black Roses is one of the Big Three Canadian turkeys to feature Frank Dietz in a supporting role. (The other two are Rock’N’Roll Nightmare and Zombie Nightmare. ) 

Dietz looked too young to be a police detective in Zombie Nightmare and he looks too OLD to be a high school student in Black Roses. But that’s part of his – and the movie’s – charm. He also plays one of the Black Roses in monster form during the film.

You want more kitsch-casting? How about Julie Adams of Creature From The Black Lagoon playing an elderly frump outraged over Heavy Metal’s supposed “Satanic” element?

How about noted musician Carmine Appice as Vinny Apache, one of the demonic members of the band Black Roses?

How about Vincent Pastore from The Sopranos as a Heavy Metal-hating parent who pays for that by getting mauled by a $1.49 spider-puppet AND getting sucked into a speaker playing Black Roses songs?  Continue reading

MUSLIM ATROCITY ROUNDUP

IslamBalladeer’s Blog’s readers know that I consider all religions to be nothing but irrational mythologizing. That said there is only ONE religion in the world that elected officials and the increasingly shrill media constantly try to browbeat the rest of us into regarding with a reverence it does not deserve: Islam.

It’s time for another roundup of some of the latest Muslim atrocities – and all of them perpetrated in nations often overlooked when Muslim murders are tabulated.

Please fight Islam for me

The American Left is so shallow maybe blatant, unsubtle messages like this are called for.

EL-ADDE, SOMALIA – On January 15th Al Shabaab – the Somalian franchise in the global Muslim Intolerance Machine – killed at least 63 innocent people with a suicide bombing.  

OUAGADOUGOU, BURKINA FASO – Also on January 15th – Muslim fascists screaming praise to Allah (their distortion of an ancient moon goddess and/or the matriarchal goddess Allilat) killed 29 innocent people and wounded 56 more in an attack on a hotel.

  • The victims of the above attack were from 18 nations and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau insulted his own country’s dead by holding a moment of silence for the attack AT A MOSQUE. The families of the dead victims were understandably upset that he did not instead hold that moment of silence at a religious location where the VICTIMS worshiped.
  • Trudeau didn’t care because for elected officials of the Western World it is ALL about placating Islam and ignoring the dead victims. If or when you and/or your loved ones fall victim to Muslim violence rest assured political figures will be rushing to Islam’s defense before their bodies grow cold.

IT’S JAMES JOYCE’S BIRTHDAY!

jamesjoyceHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JAMES JOYCE! His works got me hooked in my teens when I really related to his character Stephen Dedalus as he rejected his religion and indulged what I call his “young and pretentious side” in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I wore out my copy of Joyce’s novel Ulysses and continue to mark Bloom’s Day to this very day.

Over the years Finnegans Wake replaced Ulysses as my favorite Joyce novel and I’m fonder than many people are of his play Exiles, his “epiphanies” in Dubliners and, poetry geek that I am, even Pomes Penyeach and Chamber Music. So, if you live in Ireland, say hello to Anna Livia Plurabelle for me today!   Continue reading

THE MOST REPULSIVE LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES

Balladeer’s Blog remains the only site on the net that equally criticizes Liberals and Conservatives. Presented for your reading pleasure is a look at the most thoroughly repulsive American Liberals and American Conservatives so far in this still- young century.

The prancing buffoon named Barack Obama.

The prancing buffoon named Barack Obama.

1. MOST REPULSIVE LIBERAL – BARACK OBAMA – Could there be any doubt? This utter failure of a president violates the Constitution and persists in the cheap and worn-out game of blaming his predecessor for everything bad but trying to take credit for anything good.

And if you doubt the part about violating the Constitution just ask the Supreme Court, which TWENTY TIMES has UNANIMOUSLY ruled that Obama did so and invalidated his actions. Little Barry has earned a name as “the piece of dogshit stubbornly clinging to the bottom of history’s shoes” with his weak, inept and crooked performance as president.

In the future I’m sure America will have African American presidents who really are brilliant and capable and all of the things Obama is NOT. For right now this global embarrassment has caused so much damage that even his callous, unthinking and unfeeling worshippers are having a tougher and tougher time trying to make excuses for him. A creepy and fascistic cult of personality is Little Barry’s only strength while his tiresome way of racially profiling all white people shows what kind of a hatemonger he is.  Continue reading
