Bitter Cinema on Tumblr

A sister site, if you will… a bit easier to update and post for the time being. This particular site is not dead by a long shot, but longer form thrills and chills may not be on hand for the foreseeable future, and even then, the subject matter and main thrust of the site may be something completely different than what’s been here for more than eight years. We shall see, won’t we?

But, if you’ve liked the grab-bag aesthetic of pics, movie posters, odd juxtapositions, check out http://bittercinema.tumblr.com. Maybe you’ll even like some of it…

Naked England

Now, for something completely mondo… “Legalized Drugging… The Strippers Moral Tutor… nude psychotherapy… Trepanation… Masochist’s Delight… Nazi Restaurant… Women’s Wreastling…” Only in England, backed by the cool jerk sounds of Piero Piccioni, some tunes seemingly borrowed from Fumo di Londra (great soundtrack!).

For the curious, some excerpts can be found on YouTube: here, here, here, and here (in beautiful Italian).

Naked…. You Die

Nude… si muore in Italy, The Young, the Evil & the Savage in the American fleapit and drive-in circuit. Cool tune “Nightmare”. Seems to live more in the shaggy days of 1964 rather than the hairy tumult 1968 when it was actually released.
