Awesome....freakin' AWESOME!!!

I just needed to let you all know something.

There's a new movie being made called King Shot. It's a "spaghetti western". It is going to star Nick Nolte and, get this, Marilyn Manson. Neither of which, mind you, am I a big fan of, I don't dislike them at all, but both are, in their own ways, proverbial train wrecks.

But that's not the interesting part.

This movie is going to be directed by the man behind the camera of two of the greatest midnight/cult films of all time. The movies are called, Santa Sangre, and more importantly, El Topo. The man's name is, Alejandro Jodorowsky.

The producer, I hope I don't have to give history on, save he is stalwart in his integrity, and is one of the most original writers/directors/producers left in Hollywood. Almost every one of his films and/or projects has garnered a respectable cult following. Wanna guess? Here's some hints, Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Eraserhead, need more? Okay fine, it's my hero, David Lynch.

Oh yeah, it's also go Udo Kier and Asia Argento. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT UDO F'N KIER!!!

To say I'm excited may very well be an understatement.
