WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE

Next week we’ll catch up on the third entry in Terry Gilliam‘s “imagination trilogy,” the 1988 fantasy The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (Time Bandits and Brazil both made the list—can Munchausen make it a hat trick?). From the new release queue, we’ll check out the Canadian indie schizohorror The Corridor, a cautionary tale about why you should not trust the 0ld friend who stabbed you in the hand during a psychotic break when claims he’s finally got his meds right and invites you to a deserted cabin in the woods. Also in the new release category, sort of, is the recent DVD revival of  ‘s ripe-for-rediscovery 1993 psychological thriller La ardilla roja [The Red Squirrel], the strange and sometimes surreal tale of a suicidal musician who poses as the boyfriend of a beautiful amnesiac. To top the week off, Alfred Eaker’s survey of Poverty Row auteur Edgar G. Ulmer continues with a look at The Man from Planet X (1951) (tagline: “the WEIRDEST visitor the Earth has ever seen!”)

It was a “meh” week for weird search terms, but as always we’re dedicated to bringing you the strangest queries that show up in our server logs in a little feature we like to call, “366 Weird Movies’ Weirdest Search Terms of the Week.” We’ll knock out a trio of honorbale-mention bizarre fetish queries first with included libido-twisting searches for “hairy pioneer women,” “anime diapers,” and “hypnosis for squirt.” Related, we think, was the person looking for “wash a nude cook french video.” And, as long as we’re in the mood for erotica, we might as well mention the fellow who was looking to reminisce with his good friend Google about “porn movies that i was able to rent in a home wood suite.” But of all the sexy, sexy searches we ran into this week, the one we selected as our Weirdest Search Term of the Week was the simple “foreign film about a girls butt.” Those crazy foreigners, what will they make a movie about next?
