(Also nice to see Kathy Williams, who did a ton of classic nudies/roughies). One of the few 60s sexploitation films not made by a fast-buck hack. Is this the "American Beauty" of its day? You should review "Weekend with the Babysitter" (1970), a sort of remake/semi-sequel in color with the same director and writer/star. (And maybe The Touch of Satan, 1971, too.)StingRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06194964212476179464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-23217282246436968672015-07-01T05:52:05.935-04:002015-07-01T05:52:05.935-04:00Drive-In Cult Classics, Vol. 3Drive-In Cult Classics, Vol. 3Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-23672166180495739322015-06-30T23:32:26.340-04:002015-06-30T23:32:26.340-04:00Where did you watch it?

Cool. Anyway, I miss the days when you could openly harass people via the telephone. <BR/><BR/>I think I may have heard about that Pink Taco incident. I mean, the line "vaginas all over the walls" is not something you hear uttered everyday.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and where's Sally Hawkins' Oscar nomination? Like, WTF?Yum-Yumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897678877069611172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-86992580791267825222009-01-24T21:40:00.000-05:002009-01-24T21:40:00.000-05:00Your ten-pound penis comment reminded me of the ti...Your ten-pound penis comment reminded me of the times when I was a callow teenager and I would prank call bowling alleys and ask, "Do you have ten pound balls?" If they said yes, I would then ask, "How the hell do you walk?" <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, since I was not the only callow teenager phone prankster, most employees knew the punch line and just hung up right after they heard "ten pound balls."<BR/><BR/>LMAO at the taco part. You may have heard about the controversy surrounding the Pink Taco restaurants here in the States. I love this quote from the Wikipedia article:<BR/>"The president and CEO, Harry Morton, contends it comes from a menu item and claims that if the restaurant were truly "vagina-themed" there would be "vaginas all over the walls."Karim Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548335754518818364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109073679101688906.post-58603374687461841132009-01-24T19:09:00.000-05:002009-01-24T19:09:00.000-05:00Yep.
