Your reviews have been great as always, and there are actually a couple of Franco joints that I want to check out BECAUSE of your reviews (NIGHT OF THE SKULL in particular). Good stuff.<br /><br />P.S. Is your banner from MURDER MANSION?Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153426751208051792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132231001639302019.post-79678285857209388922011-09-09T16:02:55.291-04:002011-09-09T16:02:55.291-04:00@Brad - Look into a reflective surface.

Mental note: MLP does not hate lady parts!<br /><br />@Ron - As far as far pervy filmmakers go, you could do a lot worse than Russ Meyer.<br /><br />@Davo - That is the first time anyone has said I have cred of any kind. Thanks! I think the hardest part was staying articulate. I think Lorna the Exorcist was the closest I came to throwing my feces at the blog and hitting Publish Post. The thing I just noticed about Reynaud is that her film career (according to IMDB) didn't even start until she was 35. So she was lookin' good well into her 40s. But those lines were running pretty deep by Case of the Scorpion's Tail.Richard of DMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009346741909948722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132231001639302019.post-48870276798439562842011-09-09T10:00:03.376-04:002011-09-09T10:00:03.376-04:00I did a lot of Franco/Meyer (in that order!) doubl...I did a lot of Franco/Meyer (in that order!) double features back when I got the Meyer DVD box set and I must say it worked quite well! AND neither Franco nor Meyer managed to make me hate certain female parts...[insert friendly, yet slightly creepy giggling here].<br />-MLPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132231001639302019.post-60368514122430810572011-09-09T09:57:50.897-04:002011-09-09T09:57:50.897-04:00Inspirational indeed, Richard. Your Eurocult cred ...Inspirational indeed, Richard. Your Eurocult cred is beyond question, but your Franco Friday endurance experiment really was above and beyond the call of duty. Many thanks for your incredible patience, articulate reflections and willingness to court insanity in undertaking your journey! It's been a truly entertaining ride! <br /><br />I agree with you about Reynaud. She looks quite lovely in 'Succubus', but decidedly haggard by the time of 'Case of the Scorpion's Tail', and that's in the space of - what? 3 years? Perhaps Eurocult cinema ladies lived as hard as some of their onscreen characters? One wonders...Davonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132231001639302019.post-88272383344251836582011-09-09T08:56:06.142-04:002011-09-09T08:56:06.142-04:00You've inspired me, Richard.

Trouble is, I can't top Franco without going Russ Meyer, and I'm afraid doing a Meyer Month would make me hate large breasts.Ronhttp://popfi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132231001639302019.post-33522556255650342842011-09-09T08:04:49.578-04:002011-09-09T08:04:49.578-04:00It's been a great ride, that's for sure!
...It's been a great ride, that's for sure!<br /><br />Succubus is one of my favorites. I'm not into all this weird bizarro kinky stuff, mannequins freak me out, and I can't stand pretentious blabber, which all makes it the more puzzling why I dig Franco and this film.<br /><br />Hats off to you for all the enjoyable Franco Fridays!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MLPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132231001639302019.post-3119240849652562632011-09-09T07:09:23.992-04:002011-09-09T07:09:23.992-04:00Let me be the first to welcome you to the asylum! ...Let me be the first to welcome you to the asylum! When you began this Herculean task you were a bright eyed kid. Now you are always trying to avoid Lina Romay's nether regions, stilted dialogue, soft focus, and zooms. Great work you have done here sir. You deserve a rest. - BradAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
