Penn & Teller Get Killed
(5:00am, In Demand High Definition 2)
Jeez, I don't have a whole lot to say about this one, I remember it being pretty bad, but pretty bad in a good kind of way, you can't get it on dvd and you never see it on cable so it's worth taping. I haven't seen the film since the 80's. I wish I could find Penn & Teller's "Invisible Thread" program they did for HBO, now that's a rare one.

MTV Day 1
(Repeats 4 times throughout the day: 9:00am, 3:00pm, 3:00am, 6:00am, VH1 Classic)
Leave it to MTV to come up with a great idea and over the course of 25 years fuck it up to total hell. They mutated a 24-hour music video channel into a network full of crappy reality shows with blindingly fast cuts and useless moving graphics that grab your attention like a child's, but underneath all that glitz still remains a turd. So anyways MTV comes up with this awesome idea -- let's rebroadcast the first day of MTV. (On VH1.) I fucking TEACH MYSELF HOW TO SET UP THE TIMER ON MY DVD RECORDER TO RECORD THIS. (C'mon, who the hell needs a timer recording when they have Tivo with the Home Media Option -- just xfer it over to your hard drive and burn to dvd? So much easier.) Anyways, I set the timer, then rush to the TV at midnight like a little kid waiting for Santa to see some cool space shuttle footage countdown and a long-ass MTV astronaut promo and I'm thinking "This is the shit! This is the killer buzz!" Then they go right into the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star." This is fucking fantastic.
Then the video ends.
And on the screen comes some fucking dumbass blonde modern VH1 hostess on a screen cluttered with more of those jumping and hopping animated graphics... fucking talking about how the second MTV video ever shown was a Pat Benatar video... and THEN NEVER SHOWING IT. Just show me the fucking videos! I still have an attention span, don't show me shit popping around on the screen, just show me my MTV.
Yes, this whole six-hour block is just another best of, another "Top 100," something easily digestible for retards with short attention spans. I thought I was getting six hours of the first day of MTV, with the original VJ's and the "Music News" segments and station ID's and all that goodness but instead I don't even get a rock, I get a turd. A turd filled with corn that stinks. I'm still recording the fucking program, but I'm cramming it all onto one six-hour DVD-R. One hour into the program (it's on in the background) and I'm surprised the blonde bimbo with the mid-2000 skunk hair stripes hasn't even mentioned J.J. Jackson was dead. I envision her feigned dismay while a VH1 Classic logo sits in the lower right corner, an MTV Day 1 logo sits in the upper left, sad dead guy music plays in the background while CGI angels and flowers pop up all over the screen followed by an animated "Coming Up Next" banner.
The early days of MTV you'd get obscure videos. You'd get station promos that were like little movies. You'd get to hear the whole MTV song and see that astronaut with the fucking flag flashing on screen for like a whole minute. No one would even buy ads so sometimes they would just cut to random shit like bulls running in the street for 15 minutes. You'd see videos uncut, you'd see their little stories with the dialogue before the music started. It had an exciting yet manageable pace. It was watchable. I want my MTV. But now all I get are Blipverts.

Two-Lane Blacktop
(11:30pm, Starz Retroplex)
The onscreen guide sums it up: "Two guys and a gal in a souped-up 1955 Chevy race an older guy in a GTO." They don't tell you the two guys are musicians James Taylor and Dennis Wilson, and "GTO" is Western character actor Warren Oates. This is one I highly recommend, along with "Vanishing Point," another classic 70's road movie. Previous Ebay auctions for Two-Lane Blacktop sometimes go for over a hundred bucks, though there are U.S. Region 1 versions listed for under 20 bucks right now. On Amazon it's still running about 80 bucks.

Scarface
(8:00pm, AMC)
Of course on the dvd or on pay cable channels you'll find out that he got the scar from eating PUSSY, but on AMC and TBS and TNT you can find some whacked-out dubbed-over dialogue, making it worth Tivo-ing just for shits 'n giggles.

I spent a lot of my college stoner years watching this film. It still holds up today, even without the psychological enhancers. But if you want to feel like you're on drugs, watch this blurry-ass encode of the entire film on YouTube:

The Aristocrats
(11:00pm, HBO)
Yes, we all know the joke and that Sarah Silverman and Bob Saget steal the show. Oh, and Gilbert Gottfried and that mime as well. Still, this is a good one to store on the Tivo for when you really need it. Like to annoy parents and friends during Thanksgiving dinner. Play it then.

The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years
(12:30am, Sundance Channel)
Man, Sundance is on some sort of roll showing these films that aren't available on dvd. This one goes for $40-$50 on Ebay but evidently it's coming to dvd soon. And just look how cheezy and ridiculous Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley act and look... I am embarassed to admit that I saw them live entirely too many times in the 80's. SANS MAKEUP. And how could I not notice that obvious wig on Gene's head? Oh, you also get Alice Cooper, Lizzy Borden, Poison, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Vixen, Motorhead, Megadeth and more!

Head-On
(12:00am, Sundance Channel)
Cahit, an aging German punk-rocker meets Sibel, a smoking-hot sucidal chick at the mental hospital, she needs a husband to pacify her parents, so they get married. They have sex, just not with each other. Lots of drinking. Crazy drinking. Hands-down the best use of a Sisters of Mercy song in a film. Plus, after the film was released Sibell Kekilli was outed as a former porn star who starred in such hits as "The Mega-Horny Chicken Farm."

Pink Flamingos
(2:30am, Sundance Channel)
I'm not easily shocked. When I saw Chloe Sevigny in "The Brown Bunny" going down on Vincent Gallo I knew it was a stunt cock... who ever holds their weiner that weird stiff-fisted way for a through-the-zipper hummer. When he wasn't strangling the sausage Chloe would exert her death grip on it. Anyhoo... I Tivo'd Pink Flamingos the other night, waited a few days and then scanned through it over morning coffee. And yes, he who is not easily shocked was shocked to see that Sundance didn't blur the Divine-on-Crackers blowjob scene! Has a non-porn pay movie channel ever shown an actual dick in another dude's mouth? Is this a cable tv first? Is this history? Plus, at the beginning they cram SIX warnings on the "Viewer Discretion Advised" screen:
