FOURTH I.R.S. WHISTLEBLOWER SAYS BIDEN REGIME BLOCKED PROSECUTORS.

WASHINGTON POST POLL RESULTS PUT TRUMP WELL AHEAD OF BIDEN

WASHINGTON POST ALARMED OVER THEIR OWN POLL REFLECTING TRUMP SUPPORT AMONG BLACK AND HISPANIC VOTERS SOARING TO RECORD HIGHS. More HERE. And HERE. Have these people forgotten the election is not until NEXT November, not THIS November? American political reporting sinks lower every single year. NO polls mean anything this far out from election day. Even if their poll had said that career criminal Joe Biden was ahead it would mean nothing.

joe biden is aDEMOCRAT CENK UYGUR OF THE YOUNG TURKS LITERALLY BEGS JOE BIDEN TO STEP DOWN BECAUSE HE’S SURE HE’LL LOSE TO TRUMP. See what I wrote above. The election is not until NEXT year. And I will say again that someday all the anti-Trump panic will be compared to the Satanic Panic of the 1980s. So irrational.

ANOTHER COURT STRIKES DOWN DEMOCRAT OBJECTIONS TO ELECTION INTEGRITY MEASURES IN FLORIDA.  Further efforts toward stopping a repeat of the 2020 election’s fraud. 

WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN DEMOCRAT ATTEMPTS TO EXPAND THEIR “CHEAT BY MAIL” DROP-BOX SCAM FROM THE 2020 ELECTION. The Justices ruled that even the 2020 use of such Drop-Boxes was not legal. So that’s EVEN MORE cheat-by-mail ballots that should not have been counted in 2020. Have I mentioned lately that the 2020 presidential election was as tainted and corrupt as the 1876 and 2000 results?

MARVEL SUPERVILLAIN TEAM-UP

This weekend’s escapist, light-hearted superhero post from Balladeer’s Blog will look at a short-lived VILLAIN series.

gssv 1GIANT-SIZE SUPERVILLAIN TEAM-UP Vol 1 #1 (March 1975)

Title: Encounter at Land’s End

NOTE: Marvel’s Giant-Size comics in the 1970s were an experiment in quarterly publications which would offer a slightly lengthier new story with the rest of each issue filled up with reprinted stories from years or decades earlier. None of these “giant-sized” series even made it to their 9th issue.

Villains: Dr. Doom, Sub-Mariner and Diablo

Synopsis: Dr. Doom’s armored body lands in the Atlantic Ocean following his most recent clash with the Fantastic Four, which ended with him seemingly being killed. Instead, he survived but was knocked unconscious and fell back to the Earth below.

Sub-Mariner, aka Namor, the monarch of Atlantis, caught sight of the falling object while piloting his Atlantean submarine which can also serve as an aircraft. Sub-Mariner rescues Doom, whose armor protected him from re-entry, and the two contemplate an alliance even though their few previous attempts ended with the pair falling-out. Continue reading

AN AUTOMATIC ENIGMA (1872, 1878) – ANCIENT SCIENCE FICTION

julian hawthorneAN AUTOMATIC ENIGMA (1878) – By Julian Hawthorne, son of Nathaniel Hawthorne. In the past Balladeer’s Blog has reviewed some of Julian’s horror stories, but this time around it’s a sci-fi tale. An Automatic Enigma first appeared under the title The Mullenville Mystery in 1872 before Hawthorne revised it and had it published in 1878 under the new title.

In Mullenville, a traveler named Ned Holland charms Nellie Swansdowne, who is considered the greatest beauty in the area. After a time, Nellie accuses Ned of acting too machine-like, provoking a fierce argument and a breakup. Continue reading

SURF NAZIS MUST DIE (1987) – BAD MOVIE REVIEW

surf nazis must dieSURF NAZIS MUST DIE (1987) – The ideal companion piece to the original Point Break! Rest assured, the Surf Nazis are depicted as the scummy villains they are and that they do get their just desserts in this 83-minute bundle from So Bad It’s Good movie Heaven. Though distributed by the venerable Troma Team, Surf Nazis Must Die was actually produced by the Institute. The film was directed by Peter George and written by George with Jon Ayre. 

This post-apocalypse flick is not the typically self-conscious, over-the-top Troma madness that we all love. Its more subdued but still energetically bizarre tone often provokes complaints from hardcore Troma fans who expected something like The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke ‘Em High or Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD.

surf nazis must die posterSurf Nazis Must Die is refreshingly played mostly straight – but still howlingly bad – and the actors performers don’t spend their time practically winking at the audience over how absurd the whole thing is. That’s a nice change of pace in this age when there are way too many “look how bad and zany we are” low-budget flicks down on their knees begging for cult status.

Obviously, this Institute production is trying to fit into the post-apocalypse sub-genre of Mad Max imitators from the 1980s. SNMD earns its place with its originality. For one thing, rather than a global cataclysm, the movie is set in the aftermath of a very localized apocalypse – the California coastline has been ravaged by a series of monumental earthquakes.

THIRTEEN AGAINST FATE (1966) – FORGOTTEN TELEVISION

13 against fateTHIRTEEN AGAINST FATE (1966) – Based on thirteen stand-alone crime stories by Georges Simenon, the creator of Jules Maigret, this BBC series was long thought lost except for three episodes which had gone unwiped by the penny-wise and pound-foolish broadcasters. In September of 2010, the entire series was discovered in America’s Library of Congress, finally making all thirteen episodes available.

None of the 50-minute productions featured Maigret and focused on more of a psychological thriller approach rather than traditional mystery story approach.

The episodes:

THE LODGER (June 19th) – Also known as The Tenant to avoid confusion with the Alfred Hitchcock films titled The Lodger. (One silent, one with sound.) In Belgium, a Turkish rug dealer hides out in a boarding house after committing a vicious murder to cover other crimes. His guilt and paranoia over being tracked down and arrested make things unbearable for him and his mistress. Starring Zia Mohyeddin, Gwendolyn Watts, Gemma Jones and Christopher George.

thirteen against fateTRAPPED (June 26th) – Louis Bert, a carpenter turned petty criminal, lives in Nice with Constance, a wealthy woman he is conning. On the side he romances Lulu, a prostitute whom he passes off as his sister to the wealthy Constance.

        When Lulu’s former pimp Jean is released from prison, he locates her in Nice and wants to take her back to the streets, killing Constance in the process. Louis hides all the evidence of the slaying and makes off with the late woman’s valuables, only to be caught and accused of being the murderer. Starring Keith Buckley, Sylvia Coleridge, Donald Eccles and Mary Webster. Continue reading
