* 'A Nymphoid
Barbarian
in Dinosaur Hell' (1991) .... Just received this in my
email bag,
"Brett Piper is out there,
trying in his own way, to keep Harryhausen Spirit alive with direct to
DVD flicks. He does the best he can, with almost zero budgets and
Xtreme
short production schedules. I met Piper on a seven hour bus trip and he
told me his name at the end. We discussed films and more and he is a
fascinating, self-effacing guy. I really want to
correspond with him and hope he contacts me thru my
e-mail. I can hope. In the mean time is there
materials that touches on him?" So, you sick & tired of the depressing news, that surrounds us and everywhere?? Escape, I say. Prepare yourself .... buy bulk bags of beans, rice, loads of toilet paper, shortwave
radio, etc and learn self-survival
techniques. Also, another escape
tool ..... HUMOR & LAUGHTER. There is anecdotal
documentation that it is 'Healing'.
Screw the Bureaucrats & Principalities of Powers that
are causing
the Societal downfall .
You should check out Nymphoid
Barbarian. It
may not be available at your local movie rental house but NetFlix may have
it. The
only way to
watch Nymphoid Barbarian,
is with the alternate
soundtrack
narrated by
Brett Piper, the Ray Harryhausen of B Movie Fun. Brett
is hilarious giving his play by play commentary and behind
the scenes
about the making of Nymphoid Barbarian. Not only funny but some
general, cool revelations about the traditional special effects methods
he used. I believe NB was shot on 16mm Film. Lots of in-camera special
effects, forced perspective, matte paintings, hand puppetry, and of
course Stop Motion.I posted about Brett in the past, but I feel the need to do it again, because I CAN, and it's my website. I also realize the Internet has bred a 'short attention span', ADD generation . Here is Stop Motion
Works earlier post on Brett.
A clip from Arachnia
(2003),
Shock-O-Rama
(2005), & Bacterium
(2006). Not for the kiddies. Mature audiences.
Also, here is, about, a 12
year old article on Brett.Hey, I know it's not Arty Farty high brow, and we are talking about B Movie cult/campy stuff. There are no rules and I for one, getting bored with mainstream movie biz homogenization. Preferring to see independent works that's not gazillion $$ budget and instead they have soul, creative energy & spirit, resourcefulness, etc. ____________________
