So making fun of the Holocaust is acceptable now? by El Scorcho	Dec 6th, 2007 11:25:22 PM
OK, I guess. But acceptable does not equal funny.
Muldoon kicks ass we need more MULDOON articles by BaleISBatman	Dec 6th, 2007 11:40:18 PM
Yeah sooooo we need more Muldoon on this site. Get hom to interview someone legit like Christopher Nolan!
Troma films are crap by Droogie Alex	Dec 7th, 2007 12:25:16 AM
Not funny, not satire, just crap. Yeah, that's right. I said it. Oh, and THIRTEEN, bitches!
Schindler's List shot-for-shot remake joke is stolen from Alexad by WPMayhew	Dec 7th, 2007 12:50:31 AM

must have been some party by Horace Cox	Dec 7th, 2007 12:55:50 AM
"there was a lot of rollerskating and shit"... Sounds like a fucking episode of CHiPS. Minus the defacating in bags, of course.
WHY SO SERIOUS? by LedgerIsJoker	Dec 7th, 2007 01:28:21 AM
The movie sounds like cockadoodle shit - but great interview nontheless. Be a good little clown and keep em' coming Muldoon.
Wow. by SebastianHaff	Dec 7th, 2007 02:03:52 AM
Why all the harsh words about Troma? Fuck all the haters. If you're a hater, Toxie will beat the shit out of you and shove you back up your mother's snotty rotten cunt. And then perform an abortion.
Lloyd Kaufman is a sleazeball... by TheRealSeveren	Dec 7th, 2007 03:32:34 AM
who cheats on his wife. True story. He also uses bengay for lube.
Toxie Rules!TromaRules!JamesGunnRules! by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Dec 7th, 2007 03:34:12 AM
You snobby pricks can have your Narnia's, I want Toxie Vs Surf Nazis.
I do like Wil Keenan and Debbie Rochon but... by TheRealSeveren	Dec 7th, 2007 03:39:43 AM
TROMA Im not really a fan.
TheRealSeveren by SebastianHaff	Dec 7th, 2007 04:00:43 AM
Wow. I've heard some fucked up stories about Lloyd from people that worked for him. I guess cheating on your spouse is common, but he just doesn't seem like the type to me. He did publicly chew me out though when I said Transformers was decent. Lectured me about starving kids in Africa. Lloyd's a weird guy. Remember in True Romance when Christian Slater says 'I ain't no queer, but if I had to fuck a man, I'd fuck Elvis'? Well, I ain't a queer either, but if I had to fuck a man, I guess I'd fuck Lloyd. And then that would make him a cheater. I don't know. I'm rambling. Troma rules!
Katakuris was fucking hilarious. by oceanic86	Dec 7th, 2007 04:16:08 AM
Easily one of my favorite Miike movies. Certainly better than 90% of his throw-away Yakuza flicks. It's just so off-the-wall. The opening Svenkmeyer-ish stop-motion shit, and the hilarious musical numbers... it's wacky in the extreme, but not in a forced, annoying way. It just seems totally spontaneous and bizarre, almost like Twin Peaks style bizarre humor, with added absurdity.
Could Lloyd Kaufman hire Ulli Lommel and the director of "Nighst by JackPumpkinhead	Dec 7th, 2007 04:54:19 AM
...and use them both as the dummies in a throat-slashing scene?

Wonderful! :)
Bird brains by MrDandy	Dec 7th, 2007 05:21:26 AM
When I was a kid I doodled a page of bad drawings that were all bird-themed parodies of movies. One of them was Poultrygeist, I'm not kidding. There was also Owly-Girl, The Pursuit of BeeBee Cooper, and The Ostrichman Weekend. Strange movies to pick, I was a weird kid. This sounds like an equally weird project conceived by a nine-year-old. As it should be. Go Troma!
There's some humourless cocksuckers on this board by Lost Jarv	Dec 7th, 2007 06:31:25 AM
Yes you, Droogie Alex. Troma are great. They honestly make the best "bad" movies outside of the leprechaun series
Lloyd Kaufman by Series7	Dec 7th, 2007 07:07:14 AM
If only every one in hollywood took themselves as serious as you did.
I'm all for mocking everything... by Abominable Snowcone	Dec 7th, 2007 07:23:57 AM
...but perhaps an award-winning film about the frickin' HOLOCAUST isn't something audiences would like to see being parodied, even in name or concept. Just a thought. Because whatever sick shit they do to chickens in this "parody," it probably really happened to Jews in concentration camps. And hey, happy holidays everyone! May chocolate-coated pussyjuice candycanes be yours!
Jarv, I couldn't agree more man by Kloipy	Dec 7th, 2007 07:41:08 AM
TROMA FOREVER!!!!!!!
Abominable Snowcone- by Lost Jarv	Dec 7th, 2007 07:55:24 AM
I doubt very much that what happens in Poultrygeist happened in the Holocaust. Zombie chickens, for god's sake!
I'm going to be the heathen here and confess i haven't seen a Tr by quentintarantado	Dec 7th, 2007 08:25:44 AM
Back when they had laserdiscs, I kept looking at a disc of Toxic Avenger, and I was thinking, "wtf?!" Now there aren't stores with any balls to sell indie stuff in the Philippines and I don't see it anymore. Ah, life.
Lloyd is great. by DocPazuzu	Dec 7th, 2007 08:32:37 AM
True story. A couple of my cousins (huge movie geeks) from Sweden were vacationing in NYC and stumbled across the Troma offices and rang the bell just to see what would happen. Not only were they let inside, but the guy working there showed them around the place. During the "tour", Lloyd shows up and begins to chit-chat. After asking my cousins which Troma movies they like best and whhich ones were hardest to obtain in Sweden, Lloyd disappears for a while and then returns with a stack of said DVDs which he gives them for free. Classy! And fuck you Troma haters, seriously.
Thirty-Eighth! by DuncanHines	Dec 7th, 2007 09:24:54 AM
Re-starting the pattern! This movie sounds ridiculous and great!
anyone else find this offensive? by LORDRANDO	Dec 7th, 2007 09:35:20 AM
I mean, Im not saying Spielberg is a sacred cow...but the holocaust is not what I consider "entertainment', schindlers list is more like a documentary for that reason....this is stupid
This film screened in Portland, ME by alexsteed	Dec 7th, 2007 09:42:04 AM
This film screened in Portland, ME a while back. They showed trailers for it at the Nickelodeon Cinema (where it screened) throughout the spring and early summer and I laughed hysterically at it every single time. Unfortunately, I moved away from Portland before it screened, but I heard very, very positive reviews. Further, I don't really find this offensive. Troma is a theater of the absurd. This isn't like, Time Magazine talking shit about the Shoah or someone denying it. This is Troma doing what they do: poking fun at everything, sacred or not. Also, in regard to DocPazuzu's post--same thing happened to me when I visited New York a few years ago, though I went to Mike Patten's record label. They gave me a tour and tons of free stuff. They were really, really great. Now I live in the city and I guess it happens because so many people here are disaffected and don't really care about these things--they mostly care about paying unaffordable rent.
Re: Lloyd is great. by JAGUART	Dec 7th, 2007 09:44:09 AM
It's another Festivus Miracle!
As much as I like TROMA... by IAmMrMonkey!	Dec 7th, 2007 10:42:11 AM
..there's no way I'd sleep on the floor of a bathroom and let people take dumps whilst I was sleeping. Yikes!
Llyod 's a Jew and only Jews can make fun of the Holocaust by BackRiverCatfish	Dec 7th, 2007 10:51:41 AM
This still sounds like shit though. Bring back Toxi!
Fuck this shit!!! by odo19	Dec 7th, 2007 11:04:04 AM
I am sorry everyone but Troma movies suck fucking balls and I would rather watch No Country a fucking thousand times over than watch anything involving this hack and the garbage he makes.
I missed him in Tucson by yesiamaplant	Dec 7th, 2007 11:09:17 AM
Elske McCain told us at the Scream-O-Rama marathon earlier this year he'd be coming, and it just breezed right by me. Sorry Lloyd! Thanks for premiering the flick here though!
I agree, humorless cocksuckers by yesiamaplant	Dec 7th, 2007 11:13:53 AM
Seriously, if you people have to have it explained to you that Lloyd isn't actually making a shot for shot remake of Schindler's List, you have fucking problems.
the one Troma flick I wanted to see by Bloo	Dec 7th, 2007 11:21:21 AM
when I lived near a video store that rented Troma stuff was Tromao and Juliet and it WAS always checked out, ALWAYS so alas I have never seen that particular Troma flick btw big props to Rhonda "up ALL night" on USA back in the 90s for showing Troma flicks at like 2 in the morning, although I'm sure Rhonda herself wasn't responsible for picking those out, I watched because of her and got introduced to stuff like Vice Academy 1, 2, 3, Toxie, Surf Nazi's, etc
People who don't like Troma movies are idiots by Kloipy	Dec 7th, 2007 11:35:33 AM
I mean these people will sit around for hours and talk about how many hairs it took to make Wookie costume, and yet they can't seem to except the pure fun of seeing my main man Toxie squeeze a midget into a ball and slam dunk him. Dumbasses
Lost_jarv by Abominable Snowcone	Dec 7th, 2007 12:00:11 PM
Oh yeah? Then perhaps you weren't aware that of the approximately SIX MILLION jews deliberately killed during the holocaust, almost ONE THIRD of them became zombies. That's right--we're talking almost TWO MILLION ZOMBIE JEWS.
Kloipy by Abominable Snowcone	Dec 7th, 2007 12:02:51 PM
We don't argue about the hairs on a Chewbacca costume. Everyone here knows there were 644,826 hairs on the original "New Hope" primary wookie costume for Peter Mayhew. Of course, that's when they counted it. I'm sure some fell off during production.
Seriously though... by Abominable Snowcone	Dec 7th, 2007 12:12:40 PM
If you search "the holocaust" in wikipedia you'll find a great deal of reading about how friggin sick people can be. Don't forget to scroll down to the part about Joseph Mengle, the so-called doctor at Auschwitz who wanted to open a Jewtucky Fried Chicken restaurant with "scraps" from his experiments. That's just sick. No seriously, it's a sick and sad subject, even if these guys aren't doing a frame-by-frame parody of Schindler. It's a very sad era of human history.
Put another way... by Abominable Snowcone	Dec 7th, 2007 12:17:13 PM
...people would go apeshit if some indie movie guy said, I'm doing a comedy movie about the American south and slavery, largely based on the saga "Roots," but get this--instead of people, I'm gonna use ANIMAL PUPPETS! Haw haw! It'll be great!
The tagline for this movie should have been... by Frijole	Dec 7th, 2007 12:17:24 PM
WHICH CAME FIRST, THE CHICKEN... OR THE DEAD?
CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE by brucecampbell	Dec 7th, 2007 12:32:24 PM
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR IT FOREVER
Passes on No Country, Loves Hostel... by runfoodrun	Dec 7th, 2007 01:01:02 PM
Really says it all, doesn't it?
Troma by norrinrad	Dec 7th, 2007 01:55:59 PM
is an acquired taste. I saw The Toxic Avenger when I was like 8, so I have loved them since.
SWINE ELEVEN by iwontwin	Dec 7th, 2007 02:00:35 PM
11 PIGS FLY INTO THE PORK TRADE CENTER, KILLING THEIR CAPITALIST PIG COUSINS .........hilarious.
Wait! This guy made Toxic Avenger? by Abominable Snowcone	Dec 7th, 2007 02:48:45 PM
I take back everything I said about him. The holocaust was AWESOME!!
My Lai Muppet Movie by Abominable Snowcone	Dec 7th, 2007 02:52:08 PM
I'm going to shoot a parody film based on the Vietnam war My Lai Massacre, only instead of actors I'm using muppets! It's going to be FRICKING HILARIOUS!
thankfully this interview is BS by iwontwin	Dec 7th, 2007 03:03:36 PM
I saw the trailer...the movie looks kind of funny...but wow, that would be depressing if there was a chicken movie interpretation of schindlers list.
The Schindler's Joke by Cruel_Kingdom	Dec 7th, 2007 03:06:54 PM
Lloyd says all his movies are remakes of Schindler's List. Has for years. It's a joke, people. He said it about Zombiegeddon. I don't think he stole it from Payne, I think it's just an obvious joke to make--to compare something lowbrow to something really artistic and meaningful.
oh yea, then let the 9/11 jokes commence! by iwontwin	Dec 7th, 2007 03:13:22 PM
Fucking Nihilists, dude.
Why waste space on Troma? by thegreatwhatzit	Dec 7th, 2007 07:10:30 PM
Kaufman has pretty much admitted that there's only a (tiny) geek audience for these amateur "movies". And, face reality, the new generation is clueless in regard to the Toxic Avenger and other Troma "icons" (geesh, only yesterday's cellar dwellers were even remotely familiar with Troma's crap). Kaufman made an even bigger horse's ass of himself during a 20/20 segment on Cannes. Kaufman gleefully invited the ABC crew inside a screening room that was "reserved" for the latest Troma quickie--and, much to Kaufman's utter humiliation, the place was empty. And the girls he hires--utter skank or really overaged, wrinkly starlets. This guy makes a hack like Eli Roth look comparatively like William A. Wellman.
