Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Has anyone else here seen The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday? It's a 1970s Western, when more "adult" ideas and themes became acceptable. Done by American International and Samuel Z. Arkoff.

It's the one where two men (Lee Marvin and Oliver Reed (as a half-Indian, half-white man)) try to get back the money that their former business partner (Robert Culp) swindled them out of 15 years before. They're joined by Marvin's current "business" partner (Strother Martin) and a prostitute (Kay Lenz) that crossed their trail when Reed stole a patrol wagon from the police, who'd just raided a bordello.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. This one has too many plot developments to go into, including roles by the madam of the bordello (Sylvia Miles) and Culp's wife (Elizabeth Ashley). Delightfully loopy and a grand time for all. Well, the sexual content may make it inappropriate for the younger set, but you get the idea.

Oliver Reed (as a half-Indian, half-white man)

This makes me laugh and laugh.

Geez, ages ago. The 70s doesn't get enough cred for how subversively cool it could be. Plus, very lush, scorching Kay Lenz.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I think that's photoshopped. Still skeevy though.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Wow.

I think I'm in love with its brazen badness.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That was enchanting. My favorite comment:

I don't know why any other movie is coming out this year. There's no point.
