If They Made Horror… Hypothetical Horror Films From 8 Non-Horror Directors
There are many directors out there who will probably never make a horror film, but are stylistically idiosyncratic enough that we can safely assume what it might be like if they tried. With any luck, someday one of these hypothetical films will become a reality. Except the Judd Apatow one. No one wants that.

[Random Cool] Quentin Tarantino Talks About The ‘Prometheus’ “Space Cobra”
While out promoting his awesome (but not quite as awesome as Inglourious Basterds) Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino stopped by the Craig Ferguson show. One thing lead to another and they got on the topic of Prometheus.
Now, I liked Prometheus (so did Tarantino as it turns out), but you have to admit there are a ton of character inconsistencies in the film. Here, Tarantino speaks out against one of the most egregious and oft-cited moments. He doesn’t exactly say anything new, but he adds a certain Tarantino flair to the whole thing that kind of makes it worthwhile.

Django Unchained Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Details Released
Full details for the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film Django Unchained have been released, including cover art and track listing, which you can see below. For the first time in his film career, Tarantino collaborated with artists to create entirely original music. The album will be available in stores and at all digital retailers on Dec. 18th while the film comes out on Christmas Day, Dec. 25th.
Tarantino states, “I want to thank all the artists who contributed original songs (a first for me) to the picture. Most of these contributions came out of the artists’ own inspiration and their illustration of the film’s soul is invaluable. In addition to the new original songs I am also using a lot of older recordings on the soundtrack – many of which came from my personal vinyl collection. Instead of having the record companies give me new digitally cleaned up versions of these recordings from the 60′s and 70′s, I wanted to use the vinyl I’ve been listening to for years – complete with all the pops and cracks. I even kept the sound of the needle being put down on the record. Basically because I wanted people’s experience to be the same as mine when they hear this soundtrack for the first time.” READ MORE

[Album Review] Guano Padano ’2′
Straying a bit out of the normal Bloody-Disgusting fare, I sat down with Guano Padano’s latest album, 2, this weekend. I was seduced into checking it out when I learned that Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle) did a guest appearance on one of the songs. If Mike Patton decided that this album was good enough to do some vocal work on, you better believe that I’m very intrigued and want to check it out. READ MORE

Spindrift Premiere 70′s Grindhouse Style Video For ‘Confusion Range’
Spindrift has released the first of several videos, ‘Theme From Confusion Range’, from their album ‘Classic Soundtracks’. The plan is to release a new video every three weeks, each video representing the song in a different movie style. I’m all for it and think the idea is really quite awesome, especially considering how inventive these guys will need to get. Word is that there might be a horror-inspired one, although one could easily make connections between this video and movies like ‘Last House On The Left’ and Tarantino’s ‘Death Proof’. Check it out below and let me know what you think.
Spindrift Announce ‘Classic Soundtracks’
Psychedelic band Spindrift have announced their next album as ‘Classic Soundtracks’ and expect it to be out this spring. The strange concept behind this album is that each song is based off of a movie the band conceived in their minds. Trippy, huh? To further this concept, each song will have its own music video, each done by a different director. The first video to come out will be for the song ‘Theme From Confusion Range’ and is directed by Simon Chan who did Dead Meadow’s ‘The Three Kings’. Here’s the cool part: frontman Kirpatrick Thomas says “It’s an homage to 70′s slasher films and was filmed in Joshua Tree, California.” Count me among the intrigued!
Spindrift’s music also recently appeared in ‘Hell Ride‘, which was produced by Quentin Tarantino.
The RZA Directing And Starring In ‘The Man With The Iron Fist’
Vibe.com is reporting that The RZA (Wu-Tang Clan) is directing, starring and co-writing ‘The Man With The Iron Fist’. He will also be providing the music and beats for the movie. The $20 million budget film centers around the RZA who is a blacksmith in a village, making weapons for the villagers to defend themselves. The movie will be produced by Quentin Tarantino and stars Lucy Liu and Russel Crowe. Filming is currently underway in China.
I don’t know about you guys, but I think this could be an awesome movie! I’m always up for a badass martial arts film hitting theaters and the cheesier it is, the more I love it!
Not Quite Hollywood (limited)
