Once again FEMME FATALE RECORDS proudly presents....

STEVE'S MUSIC AND MOVIE MEMORIES!



This time THE ONE EYED CATS' Steve Nolte reviews the 1959 Mexican classic SANTA CLAUS:

“Before viewing SANTA CLAUS (1959), you have to ask yourself, would you prefer to see a Holiday movie or a Christmas movie? If you chose a Christmas movie then this movie may be for you. It was made in Good Ole Mexico, and Santa is played by The Great Jose Elias Moreno. I watched the English dubbed version without subtitles, so I didn't have to read the whole movie. That would certainly have ruined any Christmas favorite.
SANTA CLAUS is really trippy. Like something out of the psychedelic era. There’s lots of color, and its pretty high tech for a Mexican movie made in 1959.
The story starts with a narrator, who my wife found to sound like Rod Sterling of Twilight Zone. I did not find the same comparison, but I did find the narration to be really funny at times (“Hurry Mr. Merlin, this is no time to play horsey!”). Santa has this workshop above the Earth in a cloud type thing, and there are children all around the world to assist him. Santa plays a mean pipe organ and dials whatever region or country he wants and the children sing. Personally I found that the kids from Japan needed better vocal coaching.

The main body of the movie is Satan. Yes Satan! Satan is tired of Santa ruining things for him with peace and goodwill on Earth and sends one of his minions, called Pitch, to Earth to put an end to Santa’s meddling. Helping Santa is Merlin the Magician. This is one of the trippiest parts of the movie. I was looking for Black Sabbath or Pink Floyd to pop out and start jamming! Santa uses Magic dust to put Children to sleep, and a magic flower that makes him disappear. I said it was trippy!
Pitch tries to tempt children to do bad things. One in particular is a little girl named Lupita. Pitch tries to convince her that because she is poor she should steal a doll vs. having Santa bring it to her. Ultimately, Lupita makes the right decision and resists temptation. In an indirect way the movie points out to children that if you are naughty you'll go to hell. The film makers also point out in the tale that the real meaning of Christmas is the birth of Christ vs. kids getting presents. I was kinda hoping to see a better show down between The Devil & Santa though.
I grew up with Rankin & Bass classics such as "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", and "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer". Now I can add this treasure to the collection. My rating for SANTA CLAUS (1959): Two & half stars out of four. “

STEVE'S MUSIC AND MOVIE MEMORIES!

FEMME FATALE RECORDS is thrilled to announce a new series of columns here on the blog by THE ONE EYED CATS' Steve Nolte: STEVE'S MUSIC AND MOVIE MEMORIES! In honor of the Halloween season, Steve kicks things off by presenting a favorite monster movie....

“It’s almost October 31 and nothing goes better with Halloween than monsters! As a kid one of my favorite monster movies was GODZILLA VS MEGALON. I even had the poster in my bedroom. These days a VHS copy of that movie can still be found in my living room. If you are looking for a fun nostalgic blast of Japanese giant monster goodness give GODZILLA VS MEGALON a spin!”

It was (and always is) AMAZING! If you're a fan of roast pork sandwiches be sure to give Tommy DiNic's a try!

On my scale of one to five forks I give Tommy DiNic's roast pork sandwich with sharp provolone cheese and broccoli rabe my highest rating:

THE HISTORIC LANDSDOWNE THEATER MARQUEE HAS BEEN RELIT!

Here at FEMME FATALE RECORDS we are very excited about the ongoing restoration of the historic Landsdowne Theater in Landsdowne, PA.

The Landsdowne Theater opened in 1927 and was closed in 1987 after it was damaged by a fire. The theater's marquee has remained dark since it was closed, but on October 5, 2012, the restored marquee was relit! Members of the FEMME FATALE RECORDS family were thrilled to attend the relighting ceremony, tour the theater, take pictures, and they even spotted a reel of a film by cult director Jess Franco in the projection booth! For more info about the historic Landsdowne Theater, or to support the restoration of the theater, please click on the following links:

FEMME FATALE RECORDS' MASCOT ROCKY HAS GOT MAIL!

Dear Rocky-
 

I have a few questions: Where was FEMME FATALE RECORDS founded? Where will THE ONE EYED CATS perform next? And will FEMME FATALE RECORDS have a promotional van in the near future? I love what FEMME FATALE RECORDS has done with all of the photos, action, and excitement on this site showing what THE ONE EYED CATS bring to the table where ever they play! Rock on!

 

- A.J.


Dear A.J.,

Thanks for your letter - a lot of good questions there! I'll try to answer them one by one, but I'll keep it brief as I feel a catnap coming on!


First, Femme Fatale Records was grown and expanded greatly over the past several months, but actually it was founded on the way to the litter box. You see, I was sleeping on top of an pile of old detective magazines my people had stacked on the shelf one night,
  when I woke up at 2:00AM to go to the sand box, but on the way down the basement stairs I slipped and started rolling down them two at a time (hard to see in the dark with just one eye!). I crashed into a box of old rock n' roll records that were stacked at the bottom of the stairs on top of an old record player; while laying there under all those 45s, I said to myself, "Gee Rocky, you Rolled!", and for some reason an image from one of the detective magazines I had been sleeping on with the title "The Dangerous Blonde" flashed in my head. Putting it all together, the idea of forming Femme Fatale Records came to me! After completing my duties in the litter box, I woke my people up and the rest is history.

As to where the One Eyed Cats will be performing next, check back to the website often as it has the latest information as to all the upcoming
shows the band will be at. I have to say, I have a scientific way of selecting venues, as I ask my people to flip the pages of a phone book and I randomly put my paw in, and we choose one of the sites on the page I select. Of course, it's not 100% accurate, as one time my Paw In The Phone Book method picked a janitorial supply company to have a show (I won't repeat what they said when my people called them...)

As for a van, we're always looking forward with any ideas, and may have a van at some point in the future, but for now we all just pile into each
other's cars like clowns at the circus to get to shows! Not always comfortable, but we always arrive on time, and beats hitchhiking which I tried one time (I recall putting my paw out and being picked up by someone, and later waking up behind a cheap hotel somewhere in Elk County covered in taco sauce, but nothing in between, so that ended my hitchhiking days!). But if we do get a van we'll post it on the website pronto!

Thanks for you questions and hope to see you at a show soon, A.J.!!


Time for a catnap now,

Rocky
