Toerifc February: Sam Fuller's White Dog

Toerifc February is almost upon us.  On Wednesday the 10th Joseph Campanella will be hosting the discussion at his blog Cinema Fist and the film he has chosen is Sam Fuller's 1982 film White Dog.  Fair warning:  It is not on Netflix Instant Viewing, Amazon Video on Demand or i-tunes - You must get the DVD itself from Netflix, Blockbuster or your local rental store of choice.  Don't wait until the last minute.  Get the movie and enjoy it now. 

Here are the two sidebar banners.  You have your choice of angry, attacking dog or calm, pensive dog.  I chose angry, attacking dog to scare away solicitors from the site.  Link the picture to Toerifc where the date and time as well as the two banners will be displayed on the top selections post.  Thanks and see you there!

Thanks for the warning- I have the film in my Blockbuster Online Queue, though I don't remember if it's instantly Available or if I have ti wait. At Borders, they're now selling for $28 or something.

The only Fuller film I've ever seen is Shock Corridor, which I love to death. I think I might want to see a little more of his films (I'm very interested in his unique, controversial style of writing/directing) before moving on to White Dog and the discussion. Hopefully I can show up on time!

Yeah, Adam, I was thinking about how I always put these up two weeks in advance then remembered we were doing it early in the month on the 10th and momentarily panicked but I think this gives everyone plenty of time to get a copy and watch it.

I have to admit that I really don't want to watch this film. I hate movies that involve animals unless I know they are going to be cuddled and loved. I walk away from scenes of animal death and cruelty.

Marilyn, it's all about a dog, a white dog, that becomes the best pet ever. Pretty much two hours of nothing but cuddling, you'll love it.

I'm with Marilyn -- I hate that shit. But I am very much looking forward to finally seeing this. I first read about it...God, I don't even know how long ago. Twenty years, maybe. This weekend, the wait shall be over.
