Getting near the bottom of this weeks 6
pack but still a couple more including The Blue Ribbon for best
picture of the week of color. Before the next golden amber here's
the next nomination for Best Picture of the Week.
From 1984 Albert Magnoli's Purple Rain
A talented musician from Minnesota
battles for night club supremacy w/ a rival band. As a new girl
comes to town w/ dreams of stardom of her own the two of them find
instant attraction. Just when it looks like he's on his way to the
top things are really being ripped apart by the seams as it appears
he is going to repeat the history of his abusive father, his ego
running rampant w/ the band & his music losing touch w/ his
audience. Possibly the greatest music driven movie seen since 1977's
Saturday Night Fever. Purple Rain is funk-pop heaven.
Time to serve up the 4th
golden amber of the week.. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly award for
that moment that was so good, so bad it was fucking awesome or just
plain ugly that it stuck w/ me more then anything else this week –
The Colt 45
The nominees are..
Blue Collar – Yaphet Kotto Will Beat
Your Ass
After finding out who is responsible
for the safe heist the union has the hit out on Harvey Keitel.
Yaphet Kotto gets Keitel's wife out of the house & lays in wait
w/ a baseball bat. Once the assailants arrive Yaphet Kotto greets
them w/ some stone cold shit of his own & lays a beating
down..but not nearly enough in my eyes. He should have beat those
mother-fuckers to a bloody pulp coming into a man's home like that.
Fist of the White Lotus – Priest
White Lotus Has Balls Of Titanium
To defeat White Lotus you must strike
his pulse but it can be hidden anywhere...even his is nut sack. Chia
Hui Liu makes many attempts to luggage crush the Priest but he has
mad kung fu defense that you can beat away @ his gronk like there's
no tomorrow..he even has such insane skillz that it can grip your
hand like a vice.
Black Caesar – Art Lund Gets Black
Faced
Racist cop on the take never let Fred
Williamson forget his humble beginnings as a shoe shine boy but
Williamson just the last laugh of justice as he smears Lund's face w/
shoe polish, gets him to sing a minstrel song & beats him to
death. That's some stone cold badass mother-fucking shit.
Purple Rain – Prince's Stinky Fingers
In fine foreplay style Prince gets
behind Apollonia, reaches around & massages her pussy...I had
this movie when I was 12 & my mom had never seen it. One day she
watched it w/ me & when this scene came on I lost this tape
forever..little did she know I had seen worse w/ my dad's porn
collect w/ Seka in action.
Mean Dog Blues – George Kennedy Loves
His Dog
I understand that people show their
dogs a fair amount of affection but Kennedy seems to have some real
unhealthy love for his prisoner killing Doberman Rattler. He'll let
him rip your face off & bite through your ass but then it all
hugs, kisses & doggie treats. Kennedy couldn't be prouder of the
fact that his canine had already killed 2 men.
Red Rock West – Dennis Hopper Eats A
Sandwich
One of my running jokes for years is if
I like an actor so much I can watch him in anything & I can even
watch him eat a sandwich & be entertained. Well Hopper finds a
sandwich & eats it in Red Rock West. If it had been ham instead
of turkey it would have been even better but it was still a thing of
beauty. If you can entertain me by eating a sandwich your a fucking
legend...fuck that just makes me hungry for a sandwich thinking about
it.
And the winner is..
Art Lund Gets Black Faced
I like ironic justice. Hell I love
racial justice & Im not even a minority. Of all the
blaxploitation movies that I have seen (which has to be close to 100)
I would put this in the top 3 of powerfully racial justice been
served (Sweet Sweetback's Badasssss Song would probably come in
first). First time I saw it it floored me. It's one of Fred
Williamson's greatest moments, a striking blow against racial
prejudice & raw film making.
Gonna wrap in all up in a moment / one
last trip to the fridge for a cold one.
Be back after this w/ the Blue Ribbon..
