Lucky indeed.  Got some beer out of it.

That was one hard-core motion picture, Rock.
 

Slight upgrade from the one I grabbed about 8 years ago.

I've watched that a bunch.

It's what actually got me to appreciate the album much more than I used to

That one’s pretty good, but I think I prefer his Manson movie.

I think The Manson Family worked for me the same way Terrifier 2 worked for you. Where the act of violence is so horrible and depicted so unflinchingly that it becomes impossible to enjoy like a normal horror movie. I think the pseudo-Natural Born Killers thing he's trying to do around it is pretty clumsy, but I appreciate his willingness to insert something of a moral viewpoint into what could have very well been a pure geek show.

And speaking of Things, apparently it's gonna play at the Fox Theatre in the Beaches neighbourhood next month. I'd normally be wary of seeing a "so bad it's good" movie in the a theatre (I've heard that The Room is basically unwatchable in that setting these days thanks to overeager crowds), but the audience at the Fox from my experience is pretty respectful, and apparently the screening of Glen or Glenda last month that was part of this screening series went over pretty well.
