PUNK AIN'T NO RELIGIOUS CULT
PUNK MEANS THINKING FOR YOURSELF
YOU AIN'T HARDCORE WHEN YOU SPIKE YOUR HAIR
WHEN A JOCK STILL LIVES INSIDE YOUR HEAD

NAZI PUNKS, NAZI PUNKS, NAZI PUNKS: FUCK OFF!

"Incidentally, which one of you bitches is my mother?"
The cast of the 1984 miniseries "Lace", in which the posted question gets posed: Bess Armstrong, Phoebe Cates, Brooke Adams and Arielle Dombasle (I might have Bess and Arielle mixed up, it's been forty years).

A mostly good couple of days!

- a pioneering documentary about what it's like to lose to Norwegians
- a successful experiment in dialogue free boating hijinks
- a YouTube video that gained bloat and sentience
- an adjunct to a great documentary about First Nations schools

Spent quite a while searching for this on my shelves, only to discover my copy is called "La Marca del Hombre Lobo". But it could have been called several things, because Spanish horror cinema of the Franco era is a lawless and chaotic realm.
Letterboxd entry for Frankenstein's Bloody Terror (1968). The alternative titles listed are: Hexen des Grauens (spell of the nightmares, I think?) Les vampires du Dr. Dracula Varulvens blodiga natt (Werewolf's bloody night, I think) Die Vampire des Dr. Dracula Hell's Creatures Mark of the Wolfman something in Greek The Vampire of Dr. Dracula Dr. Dracula's Vampire and the list continues beyond the cutoff.
