Mother's Day Movie Night
Mother's Day is this Sunday and we're not watching Mother's Day:
Wait, does that say that Charlie Kaufman made Mother's Day? Well, I looked it up and it's not the writer of Adaptation but it's possibly the only person that wrote for all three Ghost Busters Saturday morning cartoons. And BraveStarr!
But there's no shortage of mothers in movies and no shortage of mothers in bad movies and no shortage of bad mothers in bad movies. Screenwriters have more issues with their parents than Everclear. Huge Everclear slam out of nowhere!
So first there's Mommy's Epitaph, perhaps better known as Epitaph. Mommy is played by Delores Nascar. It's directed by Joseph Merhi, one of those guys where I've seen several of his movies and didn't realize it. L.A. Heat, Night of the Wilding, Maximum Force.
He even produced the ready-and-waiting Punishment Movie Night movie Dance or Die! IMDB says he owned several pizzerias in Las Vegas when he decided to go into movies. He's an 80s, pizza-ier Neil Breen!
You know Mommie Dearest. Faye Dunaway is the mommie in this one. I haven't accidentally seen any other Frank Perry movies, unless I've forgotten a (likely afternoon, cable) viewing of Hello Again with Shelley Long.
This Friday, find out who's the best mommy, Faye Dunaway or Delores Nascar!
Here's what happened two weeks ago:
There are many parodies of this on YouTube.
