...Europe, ?ultra? films are separate and lesser industries; for Hong Kong movie people, the line between mainstream and murky backwater is blurrier. Actors like Anthony Wong, Simon Yam, Danny Lee and Kent Cheng shuttled with impunity from one category to the other. They played cannibalistic or necrophiliac killers, crazed cops and deranged victims in Cat III movies, then went back to standard action movies. It was a surprise but not a shock when Wong won a Hong Kong Film Award as Best Actor for ?Untold Story.? In the States this would never happen; Michael Rooker, in a similar (much milder...
Subplots involving Parnell Grimes, the director of Mercury’s funeral home, also compromise the harmony of the tale. The necrophiliac undertaker and his wife, who dies a little death for him at orgasm, may serve as a counterpoint to Finus and Birdie’s unfulfilled sexualities—even the dead can copulate, but they can’t.

...just the thing,/ To keep my love alive." Hart's blithe wickedness is indebted to Cole Porter's "list" songs like "You're the Top" (or was Hart there first, with the 1928 "When I Go On the Stage"?); it also anticipates Tom Lehrer's homicidal "Irish Ballad" and necrophiliac "I Hold Your Hand in Mine, Dear...

"We did Dana Carvey on ABC right after they were bought by Disney," he recalls. "It never had a shot. Now, if I was doing this on NBC, the budget would be a few hundred grand more...
Sotheby's, with Christie's not far behind, has led the field in this enterprise of simoniac strip-mining. No excess, no necrophiliac vulgarity, was too great--the $54 million Van Gogh Irises that didn't really sell, the degraded spectacle of Americans hyped into bidding tens of thousands of dollars for gewgaws that once reposed in Jackie O.'s lavatory, the nitwits scrambling for sole and unimpeded possession of Marilyn Monroe's faded frillies. So for many, the idea that the mighty auction duumvirate should find itself humbled for any reason was almost too delicious to contemplate...
