Underground Film Links: July 8, 2012

- This Week’s absolute Must Read proves exactly why you should never absolutely trust what you read on IMDB. You may think it’s a 100% accurate website, but you’d be wrong. How wrong? The Temple of Schlock runs down the data on a bevy of ’70s exploitation films that are mis-dated, mis-credited and mis-titled. Posts like this prove how invaluable a research website the Temple is. Invaluable, I tell you! Plus, they have the ad mat for ’72’s Outside In, another incorrectly credited film.
- The Village Voice wrote up a very lengthy profile of NYC icon Lloyd Kaufman. About freakin’ time they did!
- Plus, 366 Weird Movies has the full rundown of Troma movies on YouTube. And, is Meshes of the Afternoon a “weird” movie?
- Salise Hughes releases an original digital drawing based on her upcoming Charades project that is really, really cool looking.
- Aryan Kaganof posted up a scan of a new article in the Sunday Independent about his new film Interactions: A Strategy of Difference and Repetition, a “non-commercial” in-joke about the insider-y-ness of the arts community.
- Is John Waters worth $38 million dollars? Some website claims to think so, but Robert Maier gives ’em the stink eye.
- If you ever wondered what Aaron Valdez’s process towards his editing work is, he illustrates it visually.
- We all know Waylon Bacon as a terrifically gifted filmmaker — well, you SHOULD know that by now! — but the zine Beatdom raves about his equally groovy, disturbing artwork.
- Rhizome has a great look at the cruddy quality of the VHS image.
- I don’t read French, but I think Jonas Mekas got an impressive award from that country.
