From bad movie night, for your edification!
We watched some glorious sections of Nude on the Moon. Oh, the outfits! And the non-outfits. The movie was directed by Doris Wishman, one of the rare female sexploitation movie directors.
Joe Bob Briggs makes everything bad so much better:
And here's a short clip (with some boobs showing). The two astronauts, who are TOTALLY SWINGERS from 1961, dressed in tight jumpsuits with breastplates, flared shoulders, nitrous tanks, and aprony codpieces, finally see some exotic Moon life, tap-pants-wearing chicks with antennae headbands:
Highlights that I remember include the scene where the rocketship takes off and the one scientist guy experiences "G-force" that looks like a fake orgasm... And the scenes where the "nude" male Martian cops leap out doing grand jetés to corral the intrepid scientists.
It needs a lot of fast forwarding, as it is extremely dull once you are done laughing at their outfits and the amazing lack of dialogue.
Most of the Moon appears to be... well... Florida.
It was awesome!
Then we watched a bunch of a very horrible zombie cop movie that had Joe Piscopo in it, Dead Heat. Every time I see that guy I just want to punch him in the face. It was really stupid but also glorious. 80s outfits, 80s hair, incredibly wooden acting, script that was so trite and stupid it was almost good. Should be watched with snark turned up to HIGH. You could almost watch it all the way through if your movie-watching companions have the right attitude!
Then, the best one --
http://io9.com/5045724/japans-answer-to-robocop-walks-funny>Full Metal Yakuza. This was definitely worth watching all the way through. OH GOD I CAN'T HELP THE SPOILERS.... two words.... Robo Cock. Full Metal Yakuza was SO CAMPY. I yelled "BLUE STEEL!!" a couple of times but no one else laughed... oh well...
"Professor Otaku" who built our robo yakuza has the best outfit ever -- a shiny black PVC bodysuit, unzipped to the navel, with an attached bright yellow rubber trench coat.
Joe Bob is my hero! Thanks for finding some JoeBobbery I had not seen. :-)
Eternally vigilant,
Elke
