Now that you mention it . . .  ;D

I can't get past the shaved head.  It's like being lost in Sears as a little kid and coming across a female mannequin without its wig.

Nightmare jet fuel.  ;)

Yentl, The Notebook

More will come to me eventually.

On that note I have not and have no plans to ever see The Prince of Tides. I tried to watch Yentl back in the days of pay tv but it was horrible and I've blocked most of it out now.  ;)

The good news is, they are anatomically incorrect.

It's an apt comparison, because she has only a few more natural body parts than a mannequin.

Pink Flamingos.

Yeah, I haven't had the guts to watch that one yet either. Though part of me thinks I probably should.

Speaking of girlie military types, "Tank Girl."  Malcom McDowell,  what the hell were you thinking?

Patriots Day (2016)

I am pretty sure I could watch a well done documentary on the Boston bombing event, but the entertainment value of dramatizing it with a fictional character eludes me.  Plus, I am not a fan of Mark Wahlberg.

Mannequins give me the creeps.  There were some hot ones in this one, though.

It would not be a lie to put on my tombstone: "Sexually Imprinted by Honey West."

He he he.  Heads up.  A Honey West barage on Decades TV tomorrow, from 1pm CST to 4pm CST.  My DVR is locked and loaded.  Praise digital goodness.



I have the following film on a Criterion Collection Blu-ray.  I am hesitant to watch it but I suspect i will get around to it one day.

Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)

Four fascist libertines round up nine adolescent boys and girls and subject them to one hundred and twenty days of physical, mental and sexual torture.

Why?

Ha I was going to explain but it looks a lot better all stark and alone in the post. It's not really a national thing, it's just for me Braveheart represents all those films that I never got round to seeing and eventually realised I don't give a fuck about anyway. As I've got older it's also become a bit of a thing so now I feel I really can't ever watch it.

PS I've a horrible feeling I've voiced a completely different opinion about this elsewhere on the forums, but I'm confident the basic facts are true.

I've seen bits of that in an old "banned movies" doc in the nineties. Don't watch it. Go read something funny like the Naked Lunch.

Sage advice I suspect but in the end my curiosity will probably get the better of me. :-[

It routinely shows up on 'most disturbing movies' lists.  I think it's one that can't be un-watched.

Love, Actually and Crazy, Stupid Love.  I think one might be ok but I get them mixed up and don't wanna take the chance.

That is excellent news. Too bad they will not be capping it off with Forbidden Planet to provide the full effect of Mizz Francis.

And here I was afraid that tomorrow would be full of Room 222 episodes.

Braveheart.
Go directly to "Gladiator."   Braveheart has never been the same since Russell unleased Hell.

I know what you mean and I'm fully expecting it to have an impact. Truth be told,nothing much shocks me anymore.  I've seen about everything except for child porn and snuff films and I avoid that shit like the plague.  I've also never watched any of those videos that ISIS and other terrorist groups make when they behead someone.  That is a bridge too far for me.

I've never even seen Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction."

So you can bet I will steer clear of this son of a bitch. 

(Strangely - if I could locate a complete and uncensored version - I would watch Oliver Reed in The Devils in a heartbeat, and it features material that makes The Exorcist look like Sesame Street.)

I watched the Devils not too long ago.  I believe it was the uncensored version.  It was pretty wild, nuns behaving badly and commiting blasphemous acts with religious artifacts.  Even though Oliver Reed's priest was a bit of a libertine, he didn't deserve his final fate. All in all, left a bit of a bad taste in my view of the Catholic Church.  I suspect that was Ken Russell's main intention with the film.

Worth seeing.  I had to gt an import of British dvd to view it and it hadn't been remastered but it was in fairly good shape.  Warner Bros. owns the film but seems to be afraid of releasing it here in the states.
