i've been watching "cine mexicano", a three disc documentary on mexican cinema. it's all in spanish so twiddle thumbs has been translating for me. a scene i did not need translation for was one in which both of our ears suddenly perked up and we listened intently with excitement. it was a scene from "nave de los monstruos" (AKA ship of monsters). it looks like a really cheesy b-movie, no maybe even c-movie sci-fi film. we knew the scene because it was sampled in the song "halloween" by victimas del dr. cerebro. i'm very curious about this film and others like it now but i doubt there's english subtitled versions readily available. i do some searching on the internet and to my surprise this film will be shown at the san diego latino film festival this friday at 10pm. damn! i'm curious but i don't think curious enough to drive to san diego after work and make the drive back home so late. but it's good to know a copy does exist somewhere for me to view one day. better yet, i should learn spanish, live in mexico, and rent a bunch of classic mexican cinema! one day amigos, one day...
