Someone else made that exact same suggestion... or did you say it before yourself? I suppose that's possible.

Yeah that's it, I think it will be a good one to show.
Brilliant, please do transfer.
I dunno if you remember that last year there was a guy came through Lisbon and he had a film showing at festivals round Europe - but not Portugal, so we did a screening.
Thinking I might show that one cos it was really good. Also he has a new one which he says is better

Amazingly one of my friends found where you can watch the Bloodthirsty Fairy online, lots of porn adverts to click through first though I warn you. I need to rewatch it myself to see if it's as suitable as I remember.

It's interesting, I watched through The Bloodthirsty Fairy (albeit without sound) to check if it is suitable for the film night and... I'm not really sure.
Cons
When the opening and closing credits come up it gratuitously displays a swastika
When they require a metaphor for something that happens, the camera switches to someone holding down a chicken and then they chop off its head with a meat cleaver.
Pros
In the final scene the fairy's collection jars imply who she is aiming to kill later. Almost the final empty jar in the collection is labelled Salazar (the Portuguese dic-tator) which is almost too perfect...
The thing is, I'm worried about the chicken scene particularly, the film was made 50 years ago but sensibilities have changed and I think that that might actually upset people. It crossed my mind that I might try editing that out but then it struck me that I would be positioning myself as a kind of paternalistic modern day Bowdler protecting people from things I decided they couldn't handle.

The Lonely Water one might actually be worth showing but Apaches is too long, do you know any other good/weird ones that are short enough that the joke won't wear off?
