One less malicious anti-Israel fanatic, and an important one at that…just desserts, roast on a spit in hell. No more boom-boom for this ornery old cuss.

The Manhattan-Brooklyn-Bronx-Queens parallels hold water for the most part, but the Eagle Rock, La Canada, Altadena and Pasadena territories should have been labelled as Westchester County or maybe Long Island. And the flush Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Hidden Hills, Calabasas and Malibu Canyon regions are hardly analogous to Staten Island. New Jersey (Morris, Somerset and Union counties) would have been more like it.
Originally titled Fun and Games, this obviously substandard sexploitation cheapie…what kind of creep would want to actually buy this Kino Bluray?Remember that prurient Cool Hand Luke scene with the hot blonde soapy-sudsing her car in front of the sweaty convicts? I’ll bet that was the inspiration for this British piece of shit, which came along four years later in ‘71.
Poor Alexandra Hay died in ‘93 at age 46. As a few readers have said my current GATE CRASHERS photo is too chilly and “butt-hurt”-ish, here’s a friendlier replacement photo that I’ve sent along to the extremely industrious and hard-working Sasha Stone:Guy Lodge has called it — gay guys are contemplating (if not giving full consideration to) the muscular erotic allure of Paul Mescal’s Lucius in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II (Paramount, 11.22)

…about the recent announcement (which Jordan Ruimy was on top of early) that Martin Scorsese‘s Frank Sinatra project has once again been knocked off the rails…thank you, Jesus!
…when Star Wars storm troopers didn’t have gender identity issues of any kind? When they were just plain old storm troopers and nothing else?
Bong Joon-ho is the new Terry Gilliam, and I’m shuddering at the prospect. I say this knowing I’ll have to sit through this effing thing. You think it won’t be a miserable experience? Think again.
Owen Gleiberman’s Variety review shoves a blade between the ribs of Blitz.
Sasha Stone deleted the torch-carrying natives, added the heads of the Kodak Theatre swells. It just has to be up-rezzed, cleaned up.
