An Invitation to YOU

So.... I had this recent email exchange:

"Lex10 to fakecriterions

show details 12:59 PM (3 hours ago)

So, um, just out of curiosity is it that:
you get thousands of submissions,
or is it that you did not find my design good-looking enough,
or is it because you found the humor in bad taste?
(Plot Summary for Manhattan: Isaac, 42, has divorced Jill. She is now living with another woman, Connie, and is writing a book in which she will reveal some very private points of their relationship. Isaac has a love affair with Tracy, 17, when he meets Mary, the mistress of his best friend Yale. Yale is already married to Emily.)
I'm a big boy and can take it on the first two.....

Thanks, Lex10

P.S. Chuck Palahniuk found my Fight Club good enough to post,

Fake Criterions to me

Yes."

I found it quite funny. the one-word response belying acerbic disdain n'all. And so, since my work isn't good enough, and they're too busy, and I showed bad taste, I have Founded UNCENSORED FAKE CRITERIONS (link at pic et. al.) the original admittedly a brilliant concept and I invite you to SUBMIT. You could literally take a dump on a sheet of paper and entitle it "C.C. & Company" and it will go up. The funny thing is, I will probably censor it for porn or exploitation, so, uh, it's uh, funny, no? 'Cause it's till censored.

Here's the three I submitted - none of which made the cut (except at Chuck Palahniuk's site) halve a larf, or be offended, if you're cool with 56-year-olds marrying their daughters:

Strange Movies to Love: Godmonster of Indian Flats.

If you love bad movies and you haven't seen "Godmonster of Indian Flats," you're in for a treat. On the surface it might just look like any other cheapie with a guy in a bad monster suit, but there is so much more going on here.

Here's a taste:


Unfortunately, that clip (the only one that seems to be available online) is the most generic and normal part of the film. What with the Basque shepherd gambling in Reno, the fake funeral for a dog, the tourist trap Old West town, the climactic riot in the town dump and, of course, the 8-foot-tall evil mutant sheep -- there's strong vibe of WTF-ness running through this whole thing that is just bizarrely fascinating to me.

The auteur at work here is Frederic Hobbs, who made a handful of equally insane films before this one, then retired from filmmaking after doing "Godmonster." (Because, really, once you've filmed a giant mutant sheep dancing through the wilderness with a comely young starlet, what else is there left to say cinematically?) He then began a second career as an abstract sculptor.

"Godmonster of Indian Flats" doesn't seem to have gotten a proper theatrical release when it was made in 1973, but it's readily available on DVD now. There's no excuse not to see it -- your life will be incomplete if you don't.

The fatal instincts of Gloria Grahame

" ... Once, when I was drunk in an attic in New Jersey, I flipped on the television, and there was Gloria Grahame in something called Naked Alibi (1954), lip-synching to a song and gyrating obscenely in a sleazy club, a taunting, creepy image that kept me from sleep and kept me watching as she played out another brutal film noir plot, raising her eyebrows and goading the men around her to violence, rough sex, and ruin. Most of Grahame's films have lurid titles: Blonde Fever (1944), Roughshod (1949), The Bad and the Beautiful, Sudden Fear (both 1952), The Good Die Young (1954), Blood and Lace (1970), and, my personal favorite, Mama's Dirty Girls (1974). Say her name out loud, and it even sounds like her: Gloria Grahame, fancy and earthy at once, tart, ungraspable. She generally makes her entrance on-screen accompanied by a wail of hot jazz, eating candy, applying lipstick to that puffy mouth, flipping her dirty hair and cheap hoop earrings, extending her toned legs so we can see her shapely feet tied up in ankle-strap high heels. Her perversity knows no limits on-screen; in life, she was capable of sleeping with the 13-year-old son of her second husband, Nicholas Ray (she later married this stepson and bore him sons). She could never deny her impulses, and her wantonness made and then destroyed an exciting career in movies. ...

... Gloria Grahame lived on the sidelines of her films because it was there that she could cause the most trouble; she might appear in any movie, young and sullen, aged and insistent, under a pound of make-up or plain-faced, fucking the pain away, putting out a cigarette in someone's eye, giggling for no reason. She's inescapable, a disruptive force, and when I hear her in my head, she seems to say, "C'mon, you know you want to . . ."
Dan Callahan tells us about the fatal instincts of Gloria Grahame for Bright Lights Film Journal.

Hey, Mamie! You know what happens to bad girls in the shower, don't you?
You don't want to know what happens to really bad girls trying to imitate Wanda Jackson in the shower!!
Well... I must say you got off pretty easy. Life is swinging and you are a Bush bashing blogger. Sometimes bad girls can go right after all.
But, please, stick with the uke from now on will you?

Is It True?

Is this just a rumour, or is it all true. Baikinange? You too??? Noooo. No way! All women can't be bad. That aint right. Just a little bad a few times a day. Just to spice things up a bit. Btw I'm pretty bad myself by putting this up on the internets for all to see. Tee hee.

BAD!

An Interview with Dyanne Thorne

"Dyanne Thorne made famous the role she played in four Ilsa movies, that sexy soldier of fortune with the tough attitude and incredible figure that everyone loves to hate. What you didn't know is she's been a fine actress of stage and screen for over 30 years with many varied interests ranging from sketch comedy to philosophy. Recently, Dyanne took some time to speak with us."

"... -With the Ilsa movie I’ve read people stopped being your friends after you made it?
-I got a lot of flack from that. You have to realize I came out of a very serious acting group. Part of that philosophy is not only to be the best you can be, but help support & promote properties and projects that are going to make the world a better place. Respectable colleagues thought I had totally sold out by taking some of the projects that I’d taken. The truth is I hadn’t been offered the other kind.

-In your Ilsa movies your role is so powerful and forceful. Especially during the time in the 1970’s most women were being saved, exploited, or raped. You were the one kicking ass and making the rules. At the time that was so mind shattering. Today, everybody is trying to be that. Today you would have had a huge career.
-We can’t all be Rocky Stallone...."
