    Jolly good show I say!

    Watching Peter Jackson's Braindead on Film4 ATM.

    I almost fell out of my chair when the film started with the British national anthem over a picture of the NZ flag followed by footage of the queen riding up on a horse dressed in full military regalia. Um, WTF? When was this film made? I thought all that 'more English than the English' colonial nonsense went out ages ago.

    If you liked Braindead, try Bad Taste.

    Another Peter Jackson classic.

    Oh Fernando! Your mother killed my dog!

    I realised the bit at the start was probably a parody that Jackson had put in. There are a few references to this in the film (turning the picture of the queen over so it won't get splattered with goo, lol).

    Meet the Feebles was another of his early films.

    This is 1 crazy film as well. Think of the muppet's on a whole variety of drugs and you'll get the idea
