There's more male full frontal nudity in Jackass Forever than in Saló. I'm astonished it only got an R rating.
I think it's safe to say the X version of Caligula from 79 is gonna hold that mantle forever. That bowl of them would be about 100 feet in diameter. I like how it had Malcolm McDowell and future Oscar winners Hellen Mirren and Sir John Gielgud in a movie where the female lead's anus is visible within the first 20 seconds. There had to be at least a little bait and switch in the premise. Lead actress playing Caligula's sister was a Penthouse Pet, very attractive...Caligula sorry, not sorry. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

I will shamefully admit I have only seen the censored version of Caligula, but npz, I am certain that that movie doesn't contain an extremely close-up image of a man's testicles covered in fresh bee stings nor a man's penis crushed flat between a plexiglass vice to be used as a ping pong paddle as in Jackass Forever.
Those are but two examples. I am now more familiar with Steve-O's undercarriage than I am my own. _________________ Under New Management

John Waters must be doubled over in laughter. This is John Waters meets Buster Keaton meets Barnum & Bailey's. So much pig (bleep).
It's such a disgusting, fascinating experiment in control and trust. They will never kill you, but the crew will maim and/or terrorize you for any and all entertainment purposes so long as you signed the waiver and they don't think you'll kill Johnny Knoxville. And they also deeply love each other under such conditions of mutual vulnerability and trust - is there a Valerie Solanas amongst this free association of masochistic pranksters?
But what a love letter to real stunt work, physical miniatures, makeup, on set animal wranglers and medics, grips and gaffers, etc. Jackass Forever is. Unionize CGI houses and marry their essential efforts to unionized practical effects guilds for the future, long-term health of Hollywood's SFX community. _________________ Under New Management

8.5. You can knock pieces of it but it nails its intent perfectly and its intent is a mostly true and wonderful coming of age story set against first rate reverent but self aware nostalgia. _________________ “We must always take sides.

At least a 6 given that I enjoyed it. I expected favorable odds of finding it entertaining at minimum simply for the Cam Crowe association. His stuff often hits coming of age milestones and his other movies have nostalgic weight w/ me. He can have a sensitive eye like John Hughes. My favorite parts were PSH giving advice to the kid. Those two characters I liked. Not wild about the rest. It didn't help that I didn't care about the singer/Kate Hudson storyline. Some of the band scenes seemed a touch contrived like the group T-shirt w/ the faceman up front, but some of the wacky stuff that happens in rock can be Spinal Tappian. Remember Dee Snider saying he winced at a bunch of parts in ST because they were a little too familiar, like forgetting what city they were in. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

6-7 because it's enjoyable. This is my first notice of Kate Hudson. Goldie Hawn and Bill Hudson must be pleased. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

The AMPAS sure has stepped in it big time this year regarding the Oscars telecast. They are catching tons of (bleep) (and rightly so) for eliminating several categories from the show, including film and sound editing as well score, in favor of more skits and "entertainment" in attempt to bring up their ratings.
Absolutely absurd and I hope and think it will backfire bigtime. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I loved Kate in AF....I thought she resembled her mother far more then than she does at her current age. I would love to be stuck on a tour bus with Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel and Anna Paquin in 2000.
Free Guy (2021) - reminded me most of Levinson's Toys as an interesting idea done wrong. I like the flawed Toys more.
Draws on so many better movies like A.I., Groundhog Day, The Truman Show, Tron, etc. and the jokes mostly miss, but Jodie Comer is a star. _________________ Under New Management

What are the films? Is one Death Proof? It's okay to write it - I'm a Death Proof supporter. _________________ Under New Management
Many, many pages back I wrongly libeled F.W. Murnau based on the salacious and likely false rumors compiled in Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon. The underaged young man who survived the car accident that killed Murnau was merely Murnau's driver and not his teenaged lover performing a sex act on Murnau at the time of the crash. My apologies.
I still find The Last Laugh and Sunrise to be overly corny. _________________ Under New Management

Oh it's Death Proof. I'm a big DP fan, so no shame here. The other two were Baby Driver (duh) and Drive (also duh). Nobody had some Vanishing Point elements as well with the quasi-mysterious black guy (RZA) talking to the white vet violently working through his issues.
And, yes, DP is the "great" film between the three.

Haha at scrotal bee stinging. Haven't seen the flick yet, will prolly wait til it hits the telly. I of course watched all of Jackass and Wild Boyz. There was a bee stinging scene in Wild Boyz when they were in Africa that made me laugh to the point of tears when I first saw it. I searched for a repeat of the epi and taped it to watch it again. A tribesman demonstrated the trick of catching a bee and stinging someone w/ it to Steve O and Pontius and they both started stinging Weeman. Steve O stung Weeman and he yelled, "AHHH, you got me again, mother fugger!!" Steve doubled over laughing. Wild Boyz had some funny ass sh in it. That show was a winner.
Btw, Manny Puig lost a finger to a poke from a western diamondback. He was lucky it wasn't a Mojave or Southern Pacific rattler, both having neurotoxic components. The Western diamondback's venom is relatively weak, but the bigger the rattler, the bigger its venom glands.
That also goes w/ David Weathers' cobra bite. Both the animal guys got nailed. He was lucky he lived in Florida because the most extensive antivenin stock in the country is in Miami, so he quickly got the right antivenin. On 9/11/01, there was an authorized flight to deliver antivenin to a snake owner who got bitten by his taipan, which is one of the deadliest snakes in the world. It was one of the very few flights on 9/11 authorized to save the dude's life. The Bin Laden fam also got authorization to escape.

Dorothy Arzner deserved a longer filmmaking career than Hollywood afforded her, but she was merely a good, steady studio hand not some stifled great auteur.
