Looking at the overall progress of the List, we just realized that there are now less than 150 titles remaining to add until we reach the magic 366. We’ll use up another slot this week. What will it be? Werner Herzog‘s Heart of Glass (the story about a glassblowing village, in which all the actors performed under hypnosis)? Could it be the Hollywood horror satire Starry Eyes, about a struggling actress willing to do anything, Satanic or not, for her big break? Or maybe the Monkees big psychedelic “FU” to their tweenage fanbase, Head? While you pondering those choices, we’ll also remind you that Alfred Eaker will be finishing up his survey of John Waters‘ oeuvre, discussing the Prince of Puke’s move towards near-respectability beginning with Polyester. Whatever you do, just read every word of every article next week! We’re begging you!

Moving on to our weekly survey of weird search terms used to locate the site, we are happy to report that this week was a good deal stranger than previous weeks. Perhaps autumn is driving more people indoors, and turning the young’s fancy towards weirdness. We even encountered search terms that are weird due to their extreme mundanity: “girl opens jar easily in 90’s movie.” The suspense must have been mind-blowing!Less mundane are searches for “alien vagina swallows guy” and the someone looking for info on the rare “robots impregnating women in films” subgenre. On the incomprehensible side of the search term scale we find “beachwalkingdriven by wind sailortheo jansenism.” (No idea how that searcher ended up on our site, or on any site, for that matter). That’s a pretty powerful candidate, but we instead chose “film where midget takes chicken leg out of fat girls mouth” as our official Weirdest Search Term of the Week. There’s just something classically weird about the image it conjures up.
