"For the Universal Music Group, months of uncertainty came to an end on Friday when it received regulatory clearance in Europe and the United States for its $1.9 billion takeover of EMI Music.
Next week the deal is set to close, and Lucian Grainge, Universal’s chairman, plans to address the EMI staff in Los Angeles as its new leader.
But serious questions about the deal remain to be answered, for Universal as well as for artists and consumers around the world."

It's a Wacky, Weird, and WTF Wednesday courtesy of those zany cats, The Shaw Brothers, you've got to be ready for all the wrong reasons when you venture into "The Cave Of Silken Web" , so let's Run Run!! Here they are, guys, it's another female dominated society, a little smaller than some lost South American stronghold, it's a cave, an orifice that signifies the strength and power of womanhood, you know, like Deep!! "Sisters be doing it!" One by one, here's Angela Yu Chien as Third Sister. Usually going by just Chien Yu, Angela was also in "The Oily Maniac," "Killer Elephants," and "That's Adultery" and was considered to be part of the Shaw Bros. Bombshell Trinity! Next up is Lia Liang Hua as Elder Sister, the "Temptress of a Thousand Faces!" How bout a big round of applause for Tien Meng of "Axing of the Coffin" fame?? That brings us to Shirley Huang who among her 42 titles was in films ...

FORBIDDEN ZONE - Danny Elfman - "Everything Is Different But Nothing Has Changed" (1982)

Image
I guess we've gone too far to turn back now! You are now entering "The Forbidden Zone," a place somewhere between genius and madness known as Dimension Six! The Director of "The Forbidden Zone" is Percussionist Richard Elfman, who was the founding member of the band "The Mystic Nights Of The Oingo Boingo," and is the brother of wiz kid wacko composer Danny Elfman, who gets the musical credits for the movie! Danny of course went on to score some of the best mainstream films ever made like "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," and "The Nightmare Before Christmas," and don't forget that Danny also wrote the timeless theme to "The Simpsons!" Looks like from all outside appearances to be a pretty normal place, just your every day family sitting around the kitchen table discussing the day's affairs! It's the Hercules family, and from the right first off is Phil Gordon as Flash Hercules, to his right is Hyman Diamond as Gra...

MASTER OF HORROR / Jack H. Harris Enterprises - 1965

Image
Welcome to Friday Night Drive-In with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. Tonite's offering is a fairly obscure (not even 1 review on IMDb!) flick made in Argentina and produced by Jack H. Harris. Jack had already made THE BLOB, THE 4-D MAN and DINOSAURUS. I swear, there was supposed to be another Blob movie recently, I wonder what happened to that project?! Hey, I used to have that poster! This movie was originally paired with another Harris production, MASTER OF TERROR, which is none other than a renamed version of THE 4-D MAN!! Pretty danged slick, Jack. I know, the title card says 'The' Master Of Horror! There are no credits for the music. Obviously, it's stock music from who knows where, so, my job's like, done here... Lettuce now bring in our littlest Dungeon helper and buddy, the one, the only, sure 'nuf, itz... Rufus The Gnat!! Yippie, yappie, yahooie!.. Rufus is all set to push the big red 'GO' button and start the show, so, push the button now, ...
