BBM is a cult favorite from the tail end of the drive-in era. Like many Roger Corman productions, it’s a grade-B homage to a better film, in this case, Bonnie and Clyde. (One of the characters was said to have been part of the Clyde Barrow gang.) There is plenty of nudity. Angie showed off her magnificent physique in several sex scenes, including two with Bill Shatner. She pushes him away the second time (sacrilege!), but manages to become familiar with the Captain’s Log in the earlier scene. Shat almost exposed said log. His pubes were in view, but the log was barely obscured by Angle’s hip. Our hero turned in his usual hammy performance. He was supposed to be speaking with a Kentucky accent, but he sounded like he was impersonating Foghorn Leghorn.

I’m disappointed to have to report that the Big Bad Mama Blu-ray really didn’t give us an upgrade from Tuna’s DVD captures. There’s a lot of surface noise and the images are not sharp.

Susan Sennett had a very short career. She left showbiz voluntarily at about age 23. (She was 21 or 22 in this film.) The story is that she quit because she didn’t like the whole raunchy Hollywood scene and the roles she was expected to play. IMDb says: “She wasn’t comfortable doing racy material (she reportedly walked out of the audition for the pilot for the risqué sitcom, Three’s Company). She married noted musician, Graham Nash, of Crosby Stills & Nash fame, on May 4, 1977 and has had three children with Nash, who include writer/actor/director Jackson Nash. Sennett now builds and designs houses and does work with the Children’s Storybook Theatre of Hawaii.”

If that story is accurate, her action that day was not only her sayonara to that audition, but to the biz as well. She never worked after 1975. Just prior to Big Bad Mama, she did get a wholesome leading role on a TV series called Ozzie’s Girls, which was Ozzie Nelson’s attempt to recreate the magical success of Ozzie and Harriet. Given that it was 1973, when Nelson’s 1950s style was out of touch with the zeitgeist, the show fizzled. If it had defied the odds by succeeding and lifting her to stardom, she might have gained the power to be picky about her roles, and might be acting to this day. Even in that unlikely event, it’s safe to say that she was through with nudity. To my knowledge, her only other nudity was some breast exposure in a 1973 film called The Candy Snatchers (below).

This flick was a little lighter fare than the recent films we associate her with. Frances was already in her mid-40s when this picture was lensed, and she is not glamorous, but the job required nudity, so off came her top. That level of dedication explains why she has three Oscars (6 nominations) as an actress, and another as a producer (2 nominations).

And the fact that she married one of the Coen Brothers didn’t hurt her visibility factor in Hollywood.

Natalie Alyn Lind appears in this fresh neo-noir series with Colin Farrell as a hard-boiled detective. Some reviewers referred to him as a “soft-boiled detective,” because the series takes a different approach to the detective genre, as detailed below if you’re interested.

It is Giant Pink Japanese Penis Day in the Year of Our Shatner 93. Once again the world celebrates the event that has been described as “Mardi Gras with dongs.”

I hope that your family enjoys the traditional bird with all the trimmings. We always put a rooster into the oven at our house, but there’s never enough meat to go around because my brother-in-law always eats too much cock.

I also hope that you did your shopping early this year. I waited until the last minute, and the clerk at Walmart told me that they had no Giant Pink Japanese Penis Day gifts. I guess they must have sold like wildfire this year.

When you get right down to it, that’s not really important. Sure, kids of all ages enjoy the food and the presents, but amid all the merriment, we should never forget the true meaning of Giant Pink Japanese Day. As one commenter noted a few years back:

“Maybe Giant Pink Japanese Penis Day doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Giant Pink Japanese Penis Day means a little bit more.”

Hemingway once wrote, “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” The same is true of Giant Pink Japanese Penis Day, for no matter where we roam, there is always a giant pink Japanese penis inside all of us.

Warnings:

(1) Do not be fooled by imitations. Some other countries have gotten penis envy and have instituted Giant Penis Days of their own. Beware. These are rip-offs, although some have memorable celebrations, like Giant Brown Swiss Penis Day, where a different giant chocolate penis comes out of a cuckoo clock every hour. Giant Green Irish Penis Day is right out.

(2) Do NOT try to smuggle giant pink penises into Japan from other countries. In addition to the fact that you would face the dire legal penalties for giant penis smuggling (imagine Midnight Express, except with giant penises), there are simply good reasons why you should not do so.

  • First of all, they would not be sacred. The official giant pink Japanese penises are the only ones that have been blessed. Bringing in a counterfeit would be like trying to pass off a bottle of Ozarka from 7-Eleven as Holy Water in the Vatican.
  • Second, the Most Honorable Japanese Department of Agriculture and Giant Genitalia is concerned that introducing a new strain of giant pink penises into their eco-system could cause the native strain to mutate or die out. It’s the same reason why you can’t take frogs to Australia.

The main thing to remember is that there is simply no need for you to take such a risk. There are plenty of giant pink Japanese penises to go around, and that means a fun day for one and all.

The pitch:

“Jan Sienkiewicz, a writer and lecturer who was expelled from university, takes a job at a Warsaw high school. Under his care comes the school’s famous class of rebellious and knowledge-resistant outcasts. IIB are students from hell, and their future seems doomed. But Sienkiewicz, armed with literature, enthusiasm and a lot of unconventional ideas, will challenge the group doomed to exclusion. Will he be able to tame her and save her? A story about friendship, love, school madness and that everyone deserves another chance.”

Why so much verbiage? I can name that tune in three notes, Wink: “Welcome Back, Kotterski”

Weronika’s career has included an extensive amount of nudity, as detailed in the Polish Nudografia site.

Both Pauline Kael and Roger Ebert, who are probably the two most influential and respected film critics in history, declared it to be a masterpiece. I respectfully disagreed with the encomiums they heaped upon the film, but I fully joined in the paeans they sang to Brando’s performance. Many people (including Kael and Ebert) have put Brando into nomination as the greatest film actor of all time. If that is true, and if this is Brando’s best performance, as many have said, then it may be the greatest film performance in history. There is no objective measurement that can support or refute that, and I don’t support blanket claims of non-measurable achievements (how the hell can you compare them?), but I don’t find it an unreasonable argument. If there were such a thing as “best performance ever,” the discussion could include Brando’s work in this film.
