Next week, we’ll have reviews of the “classic” title They Saved Hitler’s Brain (a movie that’s probably better read about than seen), Alfred will finish up his series on the films of Tod Browning with the offbeat auteur’s final film, Miracles for Sale (1939), and we’ll take a second look (long-time readers will realize what that means) at what may be the weirdest movie ever to win a major Oscar, Black Swan.

As a special bonus, we’re working on a mini-guide to Mosfilm’s free English-subtitled movies on YouTube.  Some of you may know that the venerable Soviet studio dumped a bonanza of films onto YouTube—a fantastic service to lovers of world cinema, right?  The only catch is they listed all the titles and descriptions in Russian, with no indication of which movies are subtitled in English (many are).  Thanks to friend-of-366 Irene Goncharova, who’s previously given us the lowdown on Russian cult director Rustam Khamdamov, we’ll be able to at least provide you with some titles, guidelines and recommendations to exploring the musty archives of Soviet films—there are some real treasures hidden there (the classic horror film Viy, for example).

Turning to our weekly recap of weird search terms used to locate the site: we took note of the request for some “bizarre necrophilia” only because of the implication that the searcher didn’t want to be bothered with any of that ho-hum, boring, overexposed necrophilia we average folks encounter everyday.   We’re not sure whether or not we had the answers for the pers0n who came here looking for “movies that freaks would like,” but we sincerely hope we could be of service.  We award the runner-up trophy for weirdest search term of the week to “bigman grrrrrr,” one of those search terms that makes us go, “huh”?  But our winner this week goes to the phrase “we must whup tooth decay.”  We endorse the sentiment, but we’re not sure exactly why the searcher thought we could help… well, whupping tooth decay is a good cause, and any publicity is good publicity.
