Who else remembers this hideous film from the last 70s starring Lily Tomlin and John Travolta as LOVERS - written and directed by Tomlin's lesbian lover, Jane Wagner?

It is a campfest laugh riot - from Lily's first scene as a bitchy customer at the old Schwabb's on Sunset Boulevard to Lily and John's TRAGIC lovemaking scene in a hot tub (with matching hair dos)

And to top it all off - Travolta's character's name is STRIP. Yes, like in 'drop em. And Lily just loves saying his name:

"Oh STRIP!"

It was the Making Love of straight people. Without the straight people.

So Namo, are you trying to compare those to the love making scenes of your favorite film of 2005?

i always thought that this film sounded pretty hideous, but you've managed to make it sound even less appealing to me. i'll stay away from it. thanks MB! :) :)

Well, I actually forgot to put in my favorite exchange of dialogue. Travolta tells Tomlin during an arguement:

"I'm tired of cheap sex, it makes me feel cheap"

and Tomlin responds with:

"I have never had cheap sex, I was looking forward to it".

How's that for bad? Perhaps the DVD Gods will someday release this at Blockbuster.
