These are movies about making movies. Which is like writing a book about writing
or a song about about singing
All of which are legitimate forms of expression, I don't know why I brought it up.
This Oscars-inspired BMN is just bursting with star wattage. Hollywood Boulevard alone has three people that we're keeping tabs on:
Mary Woronov
Dick Miller
and Paul Bartel
That means Dick and Paul are now tied with Linnea Quigley for second place behind Cameron Mitchell, who has 9. I don't think they'll catch up, judging by how many Cameron Mitchell movies are still out there to watch. Although we've been in a little Mitchell drought lately. It's been over a year!
It also stars the guy who directed White Line Fever, the guy who directed Caged Heat and Robby the Robot.
Everyone who was ever successful.
You'll recognize a lot of people in Baadasssss! but mostly you'll care about Adam West and Sally Struthers. Hey, notice how I've been spelling baadasssss the same way for two years? It's because of this movie and the movie it's chronicling, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song.
Or my favorite, a musical about making a musical.
ReplyDeleteI'm only coming up with Chorus Line and I'm not even sure that counts.
