Next week, look for reviews of the 80s cult item Liquid Sky (1982), the already notorious grossout horror The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009), and György Pálfi’s surrealist sensation Taxidermia (2006).

It was a good week for weird search terms.  We have to admit some pride in seeing that a search for “PICTURES OF 1935 MAKEUP DRESSER WITH MIRROR THAT BENT IN” brings up our Cowards Bend the Knee review as the number 1 hit on Google!  Our plan to siphon traffic by tapping into the incredibly specific antiques research market is working like a charm!  In more distressing news, we noticed a hit in our referrer logs from http://satan/: a site (with no earthly domain) that clearly does not exist—in this universe, at least.  Are some of our hits coming from the eternally damned in the afterlife?  We’ll take them. Despite all this, our favorite weird search term of the week was “weird pics of midget madness.”
