There's no such thing as a vodka Martini



How on earth did a flavourless, odourless, colourless spirit become a billion dollar business?

Partly because of this guy, and mostly because of this.

RIP The Producer from Hell

Woolly Valley's Deathwatch 2012 continues!

"The task set before the cinema today is one of contributing to people's development into true communists ... This historic task requires, above all, a revolutionary transformation of the practice of directing."

Kim Jong Il's On the Art of the Cinema (1973)

Kim Jong-Il - leader of the world's only hereditary Communist state, North Korea - has died. Sure, he was a dictator who ruthlessly suppressed his people, left millions to starve and lead his country into isolation from the rest of the world, but we here at Woolly Valley prefer to remember him as a fellow film fan. We remember him as a fellow film fan who had the guts to try and make a "socialist Godzilla" by kidnapping and imprisoning director Shin Sang-ok and forcing him to eat grass. We remember him as a man who dug on Elizabeth Taylor. We remember that he inspired the funniest bits of Team America, World Police.

And we remember him as one scary mother fucker.
