Fun House (1988)
A look from the inside
My husband was on this show when he was in Jr. High. He said he had a blast, and out of the people he met, JD Roth was the nicest and most down to earth. To the person who said he was a bad host for catching the kids off guard: everything was scripted. They have a dry run of everything BEFORE the taping, including every question asked, so kids were never caught "off guard" on camera, simply stage fright.
He said that the cheerleaders were a lot older than they appear but wore a ton of makeup, everyone was nice, and that everyone was short too. His episode was one of the most replayed because the kids that he was supposed to play didn't show, so the producers kids stood in. Also, the game was decided by 15 points, or one "token" so it was a great, close episode.
I saw the recording on it and remember the old commercials. The best was a commercial with a young, pre-fame, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Overall he had a great time, and even though they lost he got free BK Knights shoes, Gitano Jeans, a free copy of the board game (that he still has!) and memories for a lifetime. Great, fun show for kids.
La morte ha fatto l'uovo (1968)
You'll either love or hate, absolutely NO middle-ground.
Oooh doggy, this is one oddball giallo, well I think it's a giallo. Story features Ewa Aulin in an EXTREMELY artsy flick. Also stars Jean-Louis Treteigneaut and Nina Lollibridga, two famous and well known actors who all know how to act, so the acting is DIRECTED to be detached and unconventional. The soundtrack consists of a guy hitting keys on a keyboard in random order, camera angles come out of nowhere, and odd stuff just continues to assault your eyes. The story is about a black gloved killer and the "Association" who wants to make chickens without heads so they can be shipped off to markets in a day. My copy has some Nordic (Greek?) subs, real hard to find film, worth it just to see for the crazy editing and camera angles. You'll either love or hate, absolutely NO middle-ground. I loved it.
