Eyes on the prize


So, did I mention that I got nominated for a Rondo Award? Oh, I did? Well, um... did I mention that the deadline for voting is this Sunday? Well, it is. So, even if you're not going to vote for me (which I'm not saying you should, even though I've become certain that one of those snazzy little Rondo Hatton busts is exactly the thing to turn my life around and quiet this ravenous black hole within me that constantly cries out for stupid stuff like love and acceptance), you should get over to the Rondo Award site and make your voice heard. There are many, many deserving nominees to consider, not the least among them the 28 other blogs that were nominated along with mine in the "Best Blog of 2011" category, all of whom are arguably more qualified to receive the award than I am. And if you think that's false modesty: welcome to 4DK. You have a lot of catching up to do.

oh yeah, I left you a comment on your facebook page. Don't suppose you saw it yet? Could have just posted here, I wasn't thinking :-/

I was wondering if you recognized any of these...

Hey, thanks, Scumbalina. You know, I just checked my Facebook page and didn't see your comment. Perhaps you commented on the impostor 4DK page (if that was a thing)? And, yes, I do recognize a few of those. Heads up: that one in the center of the top row, despite its awesome cover, is boring as fucking shit. You have been warned.

Which ones do you recognize? what are the titles? I want to review these. I found most of them for $1 at a Thai grocery store. Didn't even know how to begin to figure out their names other than to ask you! :-D

Well, let me be the first to inform you that you have come into possession of several Sompote Sands titles. Across the top you've got Pandin Wippayoke (1978), Ka Kee (1980), and Phra Jao Sua - Pun Tai Norrasing (1982). And then in the second row down, on the far left -- you lucky so-and-so -- you have none other than Magic Lizard. Most of the others I've seen on eThaiCD, but I don't know their titles offhand -- though it looks like you've got at least one krasue movie, which is potentially awesome. If you're really lucky it might be Ghost of Guts Eater, but I think there are like a million of those movies, so it's not likely.

Scumbalina said...

YAY! Which is the Krasue movie?

Todd said...

Middle of the second row down. The one with the flying lady's head with the guts hanging off of it on the cover.

Scumbalina said...

right! I'm used to calling it penanggalan from seeing Indonesian versions of flying head vampire movies. Definitely not Ghost of Guts Eater, this one is contemporary :-( Thanks for your help!
