If you consider it had a restricted budget, what you're saying is not correct:):)

Another good one was "Autopsia De Una Fantasma"(Autopsy of a Ghost) , made in Mexico , I think , in '66 or '67. This was around the time the surviving old guard Horror stars were being put to pasture down in Mexico (Lon Chaney Jr. plays a dormant Mummy that becomes a Werewolf , opposite "Original Pachuco" Mexican Comedian and icon , Tin Tan , in"Casa Del Terror " (House of Terror.), which was later released in the states , minus Tin Tan's footage , as "Face of The Screaming Werewolf. Boris Karloff , dying from Emphysema, shot scenes in California for four movies aimed at The Mexican market - All or most were later dubbed in English.). John Carradine stars as the devil (In a great red devil suit) , while Basil Rathbone (Already demoralized by "Hillbillies in a Haunted House".....which I like.) plays his last , or next to last role , in this South of The Border Cine Psicedelico.. I've seen it twice , and I stilll CAN'T TELL YOU MUCH ABOUT IT , AND , NOT BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER DUBBED IN ENGLISH, but because it's a trip , it's a trip , it's on everybody's lip like a potato chip !
Muy estrango , homes.
Well, DC has put out their anti-OWS message, which trickled down to the mayors and police dept.s, but people are still pissed, they don't go away just because you take the camps away. That 84-year old woman in Seattle who got sprayed said she grew up in Hitler's Austria, and she sees the same thing here, not coming, but here right now. The media do their best to distort but at least some of the Occupiers will keep coming back to keep the message public. The potential for a 'perfect storm' worldwide is here. All the governments have to do is keep eroding our rights and quality of life, at some point the match hits the gasoline. Funny how the world tilted right-wing once we elected Obama (not connected, just weird).
But here is a bit of levity to brighten up your day: 5 Ways We Ruined the Occupy Wall Street Generation
These 3 are books I try to reread once a year. Fun and inspiring...
Absolute Beginners, by Colin Macinnes- Spoilers! (Mod, Jazz) Late 50s modern-jazz fan (predecessor of the Mods) struggles to keep his optimism and love of London during the Notting Hill race riots. The movie is fun cheeze, but not as good.
Slam, by Lewis Shiner- Dave get out of prison (tax evasion), starts hanging out w/ punks, ufo nuts, treasure hunters, and half the city of Surfside, all trying to get the house he lives in. Really funny!Read it online!
Doorways in the Sand, by Roger Zelazny- Fred Cassady is an undergrad, and has been for the past 12 years. As long as he stays in college he receives a stipend. But certain people want him to graduate. And there are aliens and thugs looking for his connection to the mysterious star-stone... Technically sci-fi, but it reads mainly like fiction/comedy. Read it online!
Years later, it hit me: the main thread throughout these books is that you should live your life as you want to, not as the world would have you live.
Holy shit! That graphic of US debt is some pretty scary stuff!

Man, that is sick! Unless some brave souls vote down all of these protectionist measures toward the leeches that bleed our country, we may set the record for fastest time a country has gone from top to bottom (barbarism)
Not to mention how much $ we owe, US debt visualized: Stacked in 100 dollar bills
Next election, no matter who you give your vote to, it's lose/lose :(
Man, I keep forgetting about this movie! Putting this on the "must see" list!

Since you're on the Hideout, you might have already seen it, but Wild Zero is a classic.
If ya think comics don't have an effect on mainstream cul'cha, just take a gander at the Anonymous and Occupy crowds. To bolster my point, here are some links:
Alan Moore – meet the man behind the protest mask
V for Vendetta’s Alan Moore, David Lloyd Join Occupy Comics
frank miller is a grumpy old man
Occupy's V for Vendetta protest mask is a symbol of festive citizenship
