2. Wasn't Bill Cosby furious that Lisa Bonet did that film?
I can't say I disagree. That film should never have gone into production...yuck!~

9. "Yuck". I couldn't have said it better myself.
;) I think I read about Bill Cosby's reaction shortly before the movie came out.

8. I confess that I have enjoyed multiple viewings
and also that my copy is on Betamax.

Loved the denouement.

7. DeNiro started that whole acrylic nail trend.
Everybody wanted nails like Satan. Good for peeling eggs and whatnot. }(

18. You're absolutely right about the heart-shaped rhinestones thang.
I believe my homegirls in Oklahoma and Texas launched that oh-so-lovely trend, along making it stylish to hang a faux-dreamcatcher from the rear-view mirror of one's Camaro. ;)

24. Here a nip, there a nip,
everywhere a nip nip. Wise advice from the movie: the next time you enter the men's and you see a chicken foot on the sink, remember that it's cause somebody thinks you got a big mout'.

34. I really, really tried not to post in this thread
Edited on Sun Apr-16-06 01:08 PM by southlandshari
but here it is again at the top of the Lounge....so....

I saw this movie in the theater in high school - it was horrifying, but I thought it was really well done, and I certainly was one of those shocked by the plot twists that had been building so subtly I didn't notice along the way.

Of course, I was 16 years old at the time, whaddaya expect?

:shrug:


I'll never forget the night I saw it with friends at the Midway Plaza cinema, the "big" theater in the county with, gasp, TWO separate theaters in the facility! Oh, those were the days, eh?

Anyway, it was late on a Sunday night, I think it was summertime, because we went to see it after church youth group was over. When we came out of the theater, we found a quart or so of raw chicken gizzards oozing on the windshield of whoever's car it was we were in that night.

:scared:
