POUND, by Downey Sr & Jr
The first clip shows Robert Downey Jr's first role in the year 1970, in a film by his father, Robert Downey Sr. As an example of late-60's weirdness-- Well, let's hear from Leanne Benson at IMDB:
I saw this film last night at the Barbican in London, apparently it hadn't been shown for thirty years, longer than I've been alive! We were warned at the beginning that it wasn't the easiest film to watch and with that in mind, I actually found it not too difficult to watch. All the characters were very different and I really like the idea of having people play the animals. It was pretty sad but also heartwarming in a way. I loved Robert Downey jr as the puppy, so cute!!!
I would say that the film was pretty bizarre and I'm not sure if I could watch it again for a while but for someone like me who is interested in they ways of past decades, I think it was a brilliant peek into the late sixties. There was one particular character, the old lady who played the dog with the mange problem who I thought was brilliant, amazing styling and directing. A film that should be available to be shown.

Cinemorgue
Surely you often ask yourself, "How many gruesome screen deaths has my favorite actor or actress died, and in what films?"
No? Not a common question of yours?
Nonetheless, you will probably still find Cinemorgue somewhat fascinating.
Maybe WU-vies will share their favorite cinematic death scenes with others. The weirder, the better, of course.

Behind the Scenes—Great Movies
I've included two of my favorite pictures from this website which shows some great behind the scene photos from movies including "Alien", "Blade Runner", "Metropolis", "Superman", "Star Wars", "Godzilla" and many others.
You can't call a guy enjoying toast and tea a monster.
You can even see R2-D2 in an altered state!!

GI Joe in Space
After his old-school sedate debut in 1967 (first video), GI Joe's outer space adventures turned decidedly weird in the 1970s, thanks apparently to the influence of Stanley Kubrick.

(Queen of the) Amazons
Here's a twist. Usually, I present the trailer first, then the full film it represents. But I can't find the full film for Roger Corman's Amazons trailer (1986) above. And I can't find the trailer for the feature length Queen of the Amazons (1947) below. So you get the trailer for one, and then the full other feature. But they are both so bad, you probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't mention it, despite a 40-year gap and one being in color and one in B&W!!
Enjoy both!
