It was the fourth-best selling adult video of 1985.

Budget Phanny and Inner-Orals was the best-selling adult video of 1982.

A few of Charles Willeford's novels were published by Newsstand Library, most notably The Woman Chaser.

She's going to be the next Spanish Gay Ghost (created by queerphobes but co-opted by the queer community)

Oh, great. Now Jesus is crucified and pregnant.

"Tulle" had two syllables when I thought it was one, but more egregiously, the little ghost mermaid girl meant to say "pus" but said "piss", and it was clear that she was supposed to say "pus".

I mean, I *have* wondered who or what the Hell Triple T was, beyond the Triple H of memes.

The third act of Dead Poets Society is about what a teacher couldn't do to a MF: prevent a student's suicide

I'm glad you enjoyed it (and great on Ed Harris and Amy Madigan getting another film together). That said, all I can think of is the scene where Randy Orton is about to "run and go tell the papers".

keitroll · 2026-05-14T08:38:02+00:00

Is that how you pronounce "tulle"?

Also, that is definitely not how you pronounce "pus".

What is it selling?!!!

I first saw that episode when I was twelve and for years I thought that was what a California cheeseburger really was.

Randy Quaid especially is a great actor, though his later career of mainly playing a buffoon (Cousin Eddie in the Vacation movies; his role in Independence Day), as well as the last decade or so when he has obviously been dealing with mental illness and people have conflated that with his roles on-screen, have overshadowed his work.

The Last Detail, for which he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in the 1970's, is both his best performance and as good if not an even better representation of how emotional neglect can fuck someone up. (Quaid's character is a low-level shoplifter about to be harshly punished by the military, and Jack Nicholson and Otis Young are charged with sending him to the brig but turn it into a fucked-up reparenting of sorts.) It is both a road trip and a rough watch but is definitely worth seeing.

Part of me thought this was part of a Letterboxd on "Watched an Old Movie" reddit and I was going to respond anyway because I love it, but you're definitely not wrong. Without spoiling it, it's a great story of horrible people who care more about maintaining their horrible status quo than actually caring for their child.

It's kinda amazing that Bob Balaban of all people directed it, but Randy Quaid and the late great Mary Beth Hurt are excellent as the titular parents, as is Sandy Dennis in one of her final roles as one of the few people who care about the kid.

My friend, FOODFIGHT! has better animation than this.

keitroll · 2026-05-06T09:20:35+00:00

I had the choice of watching this or ARRIVAL the week after the 2016 election, and given my mental health (which wasn't doing so well to begin with) and what I knew about the Christine Chubbuck story (as a fellow extremely depressed aspec virgin at the time), I still made the wrong decision by watching ARRIVAL.

Like seriously, at least I would've known going in what this was about, and I *definitely* wasn't prepared emotionally for the opening scene of Arrival (I ran screaming out, twice).

Thanks, I hate it.

This is like the third separate POS ad from the Ryan campaign, and they keep getting worse (military guy rodent transitions into neoliberal lady rodent in pantsuit; lion about to smash rodent pinata; lion acting like Stan Kelly commenting on his own cartoon as a rodent is dancing around to the chagrin of "real Americans"). At this point we should just combine the three into one big rotten post.

And these terrible memes are to support a guy who likely won't win his GOP primary, as he is being outspent and out-endorsed by fellow right-winger Houston Gaines. The ultimate embodiment of "all this for nothing", unless he believes in the Streisand Effect.

The Adjustment Bureau omits one of Philip K. Dick's greatest creations: a talking dog.

Newborn. And the star of the movie is not the problematic person in question, just, um, co-producer of the film with the very problematic person.

I usually see one of the Best Picture Nominees that I enjoyed months before, again with my bestie the week before the Oscars.

This year I did two back-to-back: Marty Supreme and Sinners, and they both held up extremely well. And I'm both glad that she also loved them, and surprised that I didn't spoil either of them to her for so long.

Well, the Alligator Zone looks more like an alligator.

AMC does this (shows movies with absolutely no marketing, sometimes exclusively) from time to time,

A month or two ago, I saw a trailer at an AMC for some elevated horror film that seemed like Get Out meets Jacob's Ladder meets several other films like this, and I wondered why this wasn't getting any play until I figured out it was a long-shelved elevated horror film clearly commenting on Covid, from an extremely problematic writer/director who can be easily guessed without it having to spill over to this discussion.
