* '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.
