It's hit or miss IMO. Some great eps, some good, some decent and a few rubbish. I have a lot of the better on DVD. I'm rewatching Imprint now and even by Miike standards, it's really disturbing and brutal.

I didn't like Pro-Life. Bought it on DVD, watched it once and sold it in a bundle. I think Cigarette Burns is the last great thing Carpenter did.

I own it but haven't watched it in a long time. Perhaps I'll watch it tonight. Recall it being a borderline decent/good ep.

You should check out Dreams in the Witch House by Stuart Gordon next, you'll love that ep IMO.

Mate, do yourself a favor...find Imprint and watch, you won't be disappointed. Billy Drago in the lead overacts and is a bit ridiculous but I believe Miike did this intentionally as a form of comic relief due to the subject matter being so controversial. It actually adds to the flavor IMO. Even though the show is part of the series, it never aired on Showtime cable cause execs said it was too fuctup. You had to buy it on DVD at the time to see it .

Big John Landis fan...I own Family but not Deer Woman.

Yeah gonna do a rewatch of Dreams in the Witch House and maybe Jennifer tonight.

I'm not a huge comedy guy but John Landis comedies that I grew up with like Animal House, Blues Brothers, Trading Places, Spies Like Us and The 3 Amigos...fn gold. His horror comedies like An American Werewolf in London, Innocent Blood and Burke and Hare...fried gold.

I don't know how it was in Kiwi-Land in the early 80s but here there was no streaming, no cable with 200+ channels, just 3 national stations, 3 local stations, an antenna and a fuzzy tv screen.

Yes we also had PBS.

PBS was good as a small child with Sesame street and such but as you got older it became pretty lame. I recall as a kid in October they would play the classic Universals on Saturday night. I didn't get interested in docs until much later. Regardless, we had to watch what they showed us on the few channels we had with gang loads of commercials. When terrestrial cable came it was a God send. I finally cut loose my cable subscription 20 or so days ago.

Dude, I didn't wanna watch 3 quarters of the shite they were airing anyways. I spent most my childhood outside hanging out on the streets getting into good ol' fashioned trouble.
