[Makes A-OK hand gesture] It STINKS! Like anchovies.

Juan Piquer Simón died last year, and how did I miss this? The creator of Pieces, Pod People and the marvelous gem Slugs - which somehow escaped my attention until today, and is actually based on a novel. I have now replaced my lifelong goal of driving over all 8 Bay Area toll bridges in one day with starting a Juan Piquer Simón film festival in San Leandro.

Okay, that's over, I'm back to the bridge thing.

Pieces is on YouTube in all its low res glory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_q7EC1I-bc

...as is Slugs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl9JgWzrpT0

The one I really really want to see is La mansión de los Cthulhu, because it looks like abysmal crap even by Juan Piquer's standards!
