weekend bookends
at the behest of my visiting sis, let's call her j., we rented bitter moon last night. it promised to be a meeting of love boat and last tango in paris.
what a great idea, we thought. last tango smokes.
bitter moon does not. instead: hilarious/ridiculous. deluge of cliches. totally unsexy. utterly inane.
this morning i was having flashbacks, like diane lane did of having gotten sweaty with olivier martinez in that flick with richard gere, but mine were not so delicious; they were like gnats flying into my eyes in spite of my attempts to stop them. and the gnats were bits of peter cayote uttering impossibly dopey dialogue and images of the french starlet (polanski real-life wife) spilling milk on her ta-tas only to have cayote (aka 'tiger') lick it off. oh brother, why art though?
want more? music by wham and lionel ritchie.
it made miami vice look like shakespeare.
here's the lesson: when a video box invokes the love boat as a selling point, one (by one i mean, j. and me) should be unsurprised by drek.

Hmm... oddly compelling... must put on Netflix queue...
Oh wait, must first sign up for Netflix...
How dare you knock the L-Boat?! Come on, Gavin MacLeod, Bernie Kopell, Fred Grady, Ted Lange, a.k.a. the Cap'n, Doc, Gopher, Issac(he's a bartender, they get all the babes). That's a "murder's row" of studs! If that's not a selling point, I don't know what is! (Compare those guys with the cast of "Das Boot" and you'll see why they stuck them in a sub...way under water where no one could see them)
You gals today, picky, picky, picky.
In the mean time, pass the butter.

yes, picky. it's a plague. bernie kopell was never my thing.

J did inform me of this adventure and I must admit I wish she had consulted me before, I would have guided you ladies gently in another direction. All I can say is Roman was looking for a vehicle for his sexy horrible actress girlfriend/wife (at the time) Isabelle or Emmanuel would have transformed that role...Ok one more thing I worked in a little rep house when that came out and we played it for 4 solid months, some nights we got pitchers from the bar next store and showed it afterwork while acting it out.. a little rocky horror like.....pig mask my favorite scene.
when was the last time you saw pump up the volume?

i love that you did that. i don't know pump up the volume but i will. i promise. meantime, j and i, on her last night, watched sylvia. it's better than bitter moon but gwyneth paltrow thinks talking in a low monotone means you're depressed. and i think it means you don't know about voice modulation. she's stinko.
