Someone’s Making A Killing In The Art World.

Black: the color of death; the color of doom; the color of murder.

Paint It Black gathers premiere screen stars Sally Kirkland (Anna), Rick Rossovich (Roxanna), Martin Landau (Crimes & Misdemeanors), Julie Carmen (The Milagro Beanfield War), and Doug Savant (Masquerade) in a suspense-soaked thriller from the director of The River’s Edge.

Jonathan Dunbar (Rossovich) is a handsome, talented, yet undiscovered young sculptor. Marion Winston (Kirkland) is the gallery owner who has signed him to exclusive representation. But she wants more than Jonathan’s art. Marion’s obsession with her “discovery” becomes smothering, stifling and ultimately deadly. From the moment they met, it was murder. Jonathan is now the prime suspect. But did Jonathan do it? You’ll see he had every reason to… but did he? Find out as an intense and chilling adventure unfolds until the broiling “cliff hanging” grand finale.

Pabst Blue Ribbon:

The Most Talked About Film Of The Decade

No film in recent history has generated more praise or more controversy than Blue Velvet. Director David Lynch (Eraser Head, The Elephant Man, and Dune) takes you on a surreal journey that peeks through the windows and over the well-trimmed hedges of a small town to discover murder, mystery and perversion. His hero (Kyle MacLachlan) finds a severed ear whose trail leads him to a detective’s daughter (Laura Dern) and a mesmerizing beauty (Isabella Rossellini) with a terrible secret. Dennis Hopper’s ferocious performance as the sadistic villain is already legendary. Disturbing, astounding and sometimes oddly comic, Blue Velvet is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before; one touch and you’ll never be the same.

666 Mark of the Beast

666 Mark of the Beast VHS box cover art. Propaganda video directed by Anthony J Hilder. 1998.

666 Mark of the Beast on VHS. Directed by Anthony J Hilder. 1998.

The back of the VHS box would like you to know:

The dynamic documentary serves as irrefutable evidence that the Warlords of Wall Street & Washington have now devised a way to “inject” every individual on the planet with their “MARK OF THE BEAST.” This diabolical plan is being proposed under the guise of offering “great benefits to mankind,” such as 1) doing away with robbery by doing away with cash, 2) offering a National Health Program that would give doctors and their patients a “permanent medical record” affixed on an implanted bio-chip in the back of the right hand, 3) doing away with illegal drugs by doing away with “illegal cash,” and 4) stopping “illegal employment” by identifying all citizens seeking work.

A Hidden Agenda

Hillary Clinton’s proposed “MANDATORY” vaccination program for all children (before they could enter government-controlled schools) could well be the “covert” vehicle used to justify the injection of the 666 MARK. Far more sophisticated than Adolf Hitler’s “tattooing” of all Gypsies and Jews, Hillary’s proposal, if passed, could nail all citizens with a permanent I.D. number. And any “disease” or “drug” they deem necessary to pacify the public to accept a NEW WORLD ORDER.

Hitler wrote the book, THE NEW WORLD ORDER

Hillary and Bill are pushing his program. The Illuminati plan is to have the Social Security number (9 digits) incorporated with the new 9-digit zip code, giving a 6-6-6 eighteen digit Personal Identification Number to all people so that they could be traced, tracked and controlled.

Hitlerian Control

Those who “control” the US Space Program have already installed a “GRID SYSTEM” through the NASA satellite program and are now “tracking people and vehicles” from space stations. Unbeknownst to the average American, the U.S. military is already using “transponders” that are injected into the arms of U.S. military personnel. As it was in Hitler’s Germany, so it is in Clinton’s America.

Cashism has replaced Fascism

H.L. Mencken once said, “One can never underestimate the intelligence of the American people.” But even those with “limited intellect” can determine that “the system” being developed “for them” is not only Satanic, but would, IF ALLOWED TO BE INSTALLED, create a virtual HELL ON EARTH.

From the box:

The Media Made Them Superstars.

They didn’t win a Nobel Prize, throw a record fastball or travel another acceptable path to fame. What fugitive lovers Mickey and Mallory did was kill people. Lots of people. The media took care of the rest.

Three-time Academy Award winner Oliver Stone (JFK, Platoon) delivers a powerful movie experience unlike any he’s ever made and you’ve ever seen: Natural Born Killers, a visually dazzling, wickedly funny slam of violence and media obsession that’s “the most radical film any major studio has released since A Clockwork Orange” (Stephen Schiff, The New Yorker). As Mickey and Mallory, Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis portray the kind of crazymixedup kids a demon has nightmares about. And Robert Downey Jr., Tommy Lee Jones, Tom Sizemore and Rodney Dangerfield make vivid impressions in this wild ride that packs a wallop. “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.” Not till you see Natural Born Killers.
