This is a very special edition of “What’s in the Pipeline” (you’ll see why as you get to the big announcement at the bottom), so we’ll be altering our usual format. First, however, we have to remind you to vote in the championship round of the March Mad Movie Madness contest, as two weird titans slug it out for the title of Most Popular Weird Movie Ever: it’s Eraserhead vs. The Holy Mountain in an epic smackdown of the bizarre. WARNING: Do not watch these films back-to-back. Your head will likely explode. Voting closes tomorrow (Mon., Apr. 2) at midnight, so be sure to vote here immediately.
We are sad to report a dearth of deranged searches this week for our Weirdest Search Term of the Week contest. Queries were so normal this week that we are mentioning “post nuclear skeleton” as one of the stranger terms we encountered. Not very weird, is it? We hesitate to even mention the search for “huge surrealistic breasts”: that’s exactly the type of thing you’d expect to find here. A little odder is someone’s quest for information on a certain “dead vaginal movie.” But if we have to select one search as our Weirdest Search Term of the Week—and we do—we’ll settle on “movie berates homsexual rape telephone what are you doing.” We always like search strings submitted by schizophrenics who start questioning themselves in type while querying Google.
Now for the big news, which will come as a blow to some of you, a relief to others. After careful consideration, I have decided that identifying 366 Weird Movies was too lofty a goal. I am sad to announce that due to time constraints I am abandoning the review project at our current count of 107. Thank you for your indulgence over the years, but weird movies are just no fun for me anymore.
I will not totally leave you hanging, however; I am listing, without comment or commentary, the remaining movies I feel should constitute the 366 Weirdest of All Time, numbers 108 to 366. I thank all of you for your suggestions over the years; however, I am discarding 99% of them as totally misguided. Instead, I give you these greatly superior selections:

Homosexual Rape Telephone??
Wow, I missed that film… lol
What really shocked me was how little emphasis you put in your “rage quit”. After movie 122, I’m thinking, “Did this man actually invite his 13 year old cousin into his work study, then turn his back?” Guess not. Oh wait…that’s right it’s April 1st.
P.S. I’d be careful with the movies you list. If a producer were to find “Tim Burton’s Hamlet” on here, I’d finger all of Hollywood before they wrap a stiff ploy around America’s deranged goths.
I did have a bit of a moment there… Then I saw the tag.
Well played!
“Three Wounds for My Lover” doesn’t belong here, sorry. It’s just a regular “Albanian chick meets serial killer manatee from space” flick.
I’m disappointed that piece of garbage makes the list, whereas “Chocolate Faulkner” and “Oh, stop it with your Tonton-Macoute-smile” will never have a well-deserved spot here.
Happy April Fools Day!
Yesterday.
That list must have been fun to write. Nice job.
Ha, fake list or not i think Un chien Andalou still deserves higher ranking than Labyrinth.
You know i’ve always respected your opinions and reviews, but that list is ridiculous! This has become a total disappointment. You’ve just lost a customer! Nah, i’m just throwing a little April fools of my own around!
Some of these are really funny
341. Cat Bimbo
340. The Deaf-Mute Birthday Cake
271. Gangster with a Banjo – clearly the sequel to hobo with a shotgun
156. Cappuccino Pansies
149. Quick Bang Geckos – a weird search term! saw a few of those in this list
