    The Pale Man sez: &#;Use your eyes &#; both of &#;em!&#;

    The forthcoming &#;Grindhouse&#; notwithstanding, the motion picture double bill is a nearly dead art. Marquees have always been plugged with twosomes that just happened to be from the same distributor (it&#;s the same kind of logic that gives us a &#;The Robert Altman Collection&#; on DVD, consisting of &#;M*A*S*H,&#; &#;A Perfect Couple,&#; &#;Quintet&#; and &#;A Wedding&#; &#; simply because they were all released by 20th Century Fox). On a slightly more creative level (sometimes), today&#;s few remaining revival houses might connect two films by language, genre, director or star.

    There&#;s absolutely nothing wrong with a fairly straightforward double bill of, say, Scorsese/De Niro pictures (&#;Mean Streets&#; and &#;Taxi Driver&#;) &#; or David Lynch LA nightmares (&#;Lost Highway&#; and &#;Mulholland Drive&#;) or Michael Haneke puzzles (&#;Code Unknown&#; and &#;Cache&#; ) &#; all of which are illuminating pairings.

      And here will be trigger warnings and spoilers. Though while watching it last night, in emotional preparation for the release of Eli Roth&#;s The Green Inferno, I realized there&#;s no real way to spoil this film. To watch it with even modest knowledge of where its going, Cannibal Holocaust remains a thoroughly rotten experience.

      It took a minute to find my dvd, given to me years ago as a gift, because I shelved it (read: hidden it) in the closet. Years before that, I attended a screening of Ruggero Deodato&#;s legendary Cannibal Holocaust, back when it was only written of parenthetically by critics or the curious and brave. I wanted to know what this was, how bad it could be, and what could justify its poster at the time, that of a person impaled like a pig on a wooden stake. After speaking of that screening with a friend, he found and bought a copy of it for me and gave it to me, in the same way you&#;d hand a dead rat to your mother.
