Don't ask why."

Tom Selleck is the guy in Mae West's office that is being interviewed, not the guy that Raquel does....

What're the white ones for again?
We intend to have a Dolls nite this weekend as well, VOD and BVOD...with cocktails, but I may bring m&ms so we can pretend...

Posted: 6/29/06 at 12:26pmI LOVE that movie...and especially the scene Marquise talks about......
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

It should be on a double bill with West's "Sextette" ( 1978 ).
That might qualify as an embarassement of riches though.
As crazy-wonderful-hideous as Myra B. is, nothing beats Miss West and Timothy Dalton crooning the Capt. & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together."
I say let's shoot up and watch 'em BOTH!

Posted: 6/29/06 at 3:32pmI saw it in the theater, when it was first released, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I, recently, tried to watch the DVD of it, and found it, unwatchable. Horrible, on every conceivable level.

"Watch it as a double feature with Mae West's Sextette."
My God. I'd rather take the gas pipe.

Posted: 1/27/08 at 1:09amMy favorite Rex Reed quote: "No matter how she spends her daddy's money, she still looks like a pizza waitress." - about Nancy Sinatra. I've used it many times since, but about the more appropriate, Tori Spelling!

Posted: 1/27/08 at 9:19amI heart Myra Breckenridge. It's off-center, quirky, weird, askew, campy, vulgar, over-the-top. I heart it.

Read the book, people! The strap on scene will make you blush!
But I do love the way Raquel says, "She is MENTally reTAHded!"
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Actually, I believe that Rex Reed gave it a very BAD review, in print, at the time.
If you can find a copy of the "movie tie-in" copy of the paperback (with Raquel in the same pose on the cover), in the picture section, there is a two page spread of Raquel pulling down the guys pants as he is strapped to a table!
And Gore Vidal's sequel, "Myron" is a delightful read, too.

Posted: 1/28/08 at 3:50pmI saw Rex on the manhunt one time...he shoulda used his original head shot...though in all fairness it's hard to scan a woodcut.
