Review of Schlock-film, "'Shrooms."

Shrooms, the film.

Review by Andre S. Lange

1

What minor Demon from Hell must have "possessed" me to watch the obviously SHLOCK AND AWE film, entitled "SHROOMS?" COULD IT HAVE BEEN SATAN HIMSELF? oR ONE OF HIS MINIONS OR SUCCUBI? It is most likely it was one of the succubi.....if you want to know the truth. Irrelevent. Back to the review of the movie.

Shrooms," is a direct to dvd type of film, that is, it is quite amateurish and crappy. Basically, a Reefer-Madness of fungal proportions. It should have been titled, "HOW TO NEVER TAKE MUSHROOMS."

Of course the movie shows some dumb kids who take a certain "black-capped 'shroom" (to "trip" or "get high" FAR OUT MAN!) without knowing what Genus nor species....whether the "dude" offering them knows about mushrooms or not.....whether it is just store-bought mushrooms with a drop of acid on it....or whether it is on of the (thankfully) few DEADLY mushrooms. In the whole movie the word "psilocybe" or any variant is ever mentioned, yet, we supposedly (we the viewers) are to conclude that they mean "felonious fungi," such evil-doers as Psilocybe cubensis (of course--it is from Cuba--a Commie plot to take over the minds of our young and make them demand an end to making cannon fodder of them!), P. semilanceata, etc, etc. I suppose! It is not very well written.

De rigeur, the film-makers HAD to attempt to show what is "looks like" to "trip"------the "shifty-morphy" visual scenes are "viewed" through the eyes/mind of the girl who takes the "black-capped 'shroom."......are actually more reminiscent of a cholinergic delirium, not a psilocbic journey.

Yeah, it's the real stuff of "DRUGSPOITATION" films that propose only the horrors and depravity of "drugs." In this case, maligning the little-understood (outside of the entheogen world) 'magic mushroom." The film is a combination of "Blair-Witch type" cheesy running thru the woods with the "weird"-ness of "tripping."

In the early scenes there is a teenaged steroid popper castrated, then further horrifically mutilated, and finally killed. A "deliverance-style" couple of mad brothers a la irlande's. The blonde now sees the future and forsees the sequential death of her hapless duffoid friends. The movie capitalizes on teen-age fears.

Irish everglades with a vampire swim-monster...the creature from the (insert N. Ireland place) lagoon!

World of madness! Aye! Aye! Horror and confusion!

Most offensive to those of us who regard the gentle sacrament of the mushroom is that the films links it to gory violence! Truly the opposite of the truth. One wonders if this was covertly financed (a shoe-string budget) by the CIA, or the DEA, just like they used to do with weed!

My calls to the film-makers were not returned.

Overall, one of the cheesiest films I have ever seen. Like a bad drive-in second picture of a double-feature (for those of you who recall those.)

Mark Twain's Comments On Senators Eating Each Other

→ Congress, Offbeat

Great Moments in #Senatehate (Cannibalism Edition)

— By Tim Murphy

Yesterday will be remembered, if at all, for two especially traumatic events: The Senate, as per custom, suffered a total meltdown and scrapped its spending bill (the one they'd been working on for the last year). And an Amtrak train en route to Philadelphia was delayed for 10 hours, without power and in freezing temperatures, leading Stephen Tschida of New York's ABC 7 to live-tweet the worst day of his life. Sample tweet:

"God, I'm this close to crying again. I NEVER cry. Just want out. This might be a life-changer."

And another: "1 man grabbed intercom demanded answers. Another started screaming we have 2 get home. Now total silence."

But what if the two situations were somehow combined? That is, if a train full of Senators were delayed for hours without power and no end in sight? If you're thinking, "They'd probably eat at each other, but not before engaging in frustrating demonstrations of comity, decorum, and procedure" well, Mark Twain's got your back—he envisioned this exact scenario more than a century ago. Enjoy:

"MR. HALLIDAY of Virginia: 'I move to further amend the report by substituting Mr. Harvey Davis of Oregon for Mr. Messick. It may be urged by gentlemen that the hardships and privations of a frontier life have rendered Mr. Davis tough; but, gentlemen, is this a time to cavil at toughness? Is this a time to be fastidious concerning trifles? Is this a time to dispute about matters of paltry significance? No, gentlemen, bulk is what we desire—substance, weight, bulk—these are the supreme requisites now—not talent, not genius, not education. I insist upon my motion.'

"MR. MORGAN (excitedly): 'Mr. Chairman—I do most strenuously object to this amendment. The gentleman from Oregon is old, and furthermore is bulky only in bone—not in flesh. I ask the gentleman from Virginia if it is soup we want instead of solid sustenance?

I yield.
