Be Kind, Fast Forward...


I really find it hard to sit through entire films, especially if I know I’ll hate them…I’ve decided to try to rent films for a particular scene or moment.  Like renting Brown Bunny to see Chloe suck that big Gallo cock. (I think she swallows, poor gal.)  Or Scanners to watch the head explode. Or Caligula to watch the straight porn but secretly get off on the gay shit.  

I rented In the Heat of the Night because I think women aren't allowed to act in movies anymore.  Real acting.  It's a man-movie, but Lee Grant is a better actor than bozo Rod Steiger will ever be. Ask Margot Kidder.  Maybe good actors, like Tuesday Weld, are living in the Valley somewhere having lunch with other actors we’ve all forgotten about like Colleen Camp, Season Hubley, Cathy Moriarty, Nancy Allen, Candice Azzara, Sandy Dennis, Candy Clark and Linda Manz. 

Go rent In the Heat of the Night to watch the whole 5 minutes of screen time by Lee Grant.  She’s really acting here. No, really.  I know she’s an old lady now and all you macho assholes in love with Christian Bale will totally dismiss this rant, but it’s only 5 minutes and she was in Mafu Cage with Carol Kane, which would be hailed a classic had it been directed by a man.  What would Dinah Manoff say?...Phft, Rock Hard
