Movie Night 160

Quasi-provocative question: NONE! (see notes)

A Feature - The Tenth Victim
B Feature - The Erotic Adventures of Zorro

Notes (from the Dictator's mouth, or keyboard): "First feature ... was supposed to be "Brother from another Planet". The quasi-poetical question was "Of black in men or men in black"-----HOWEVER when I popped the video in people had seen it----not only had they seen it, it apparently had been a film club selection (a while back when I wasn't present). This unprecedented circumstance meant I had to present the Second Feature first (so I could run to the store and get another movie. This meant the Second Feature had to be even MORE of a second feature than the original Second Feature. Does that make sense?)

July 10, 2005

Movie Night 159

Quasi-provocative question: Oprah Film Club or Gone with the Cynicism
