  1. This is a tough one because the movie is not what most people are thinking it is. The movie (French) is actually calling out the hyper-sexualization of children, that is the whole point of the movie. The movie juxtaposes the opening environment of the protagonist (Amy, a Senegalese Muslim) and Amy instead choosing the overt sexualization of a dance group called the Cuties. She then takes the already sick premise and pushes it even further before realizing the hyper-sexualization of the Cuties is just as much wrong as her strict and hypocritical upbringing and leaves the group and again returns to a natural childhood. However, this is one of those the ends justify the means movies in that to get where it is going it still has to do exactly what it is rallying against and films young girls in an overtly provocative manner. They could have filmed this movie using innuendo and reference without actually showing these girls in such an inappropriate manner. With all the backlash it is getting I doubt Netflix will air this in the US and rightfully so. The movie is a great idea and a much needed one at that, but the execution is abysmal and so, so wrong.
  2. Were there any movie posters with a shirtless Karl Malden?
  3. Most likely the studio system of the time drove her to drink. Just look at all the broken lives the system was responsible for. A crime IMO.
  4. Gail Russell, Va Va VOOM! What a gorgeous woman and damn fine actress.

    Wow!

    9/11 conspiracies? Say it ain't so I mean, I thought everyone knew it was the Klingons from Quo'nos (they are the true leaders of the whole Qanon thing ya know) who brought down the towers in retaliation to our (the secret UN space program of course) attack on Krios Prime. Come on now, this is common knowledge.
  6. Its just a real shame people like Taylor & Ronson get the shaft on writing credits even though they wrote a good share of these songs, or, took sketches in the case of Ronson and turned them into the songs we know and love. Bowie typically wrote his songs on an acoustic guitar and then presented the rough demo to Ronson who pretty much took it from there on many of Bowies biggest hits. Also, both Taylor & Ronson are woefully underrated guitarists as well (outside of the fans of course). Double shaft.
  7. Reminds me of something Tony Soprano said, It's jail, for that you get a pass...its not gay. Um, sorry, but if you have prison sex with another dude that is totally gay. You can call a duck a giraffe all you want but its still a duck.
  8. Just ask Mick Taylor and he wrote much more than just the solos yet...nada.
  9. I heard of sacrificing for your art but that is ridiculous!
  10. What was racist? Did the Hamburgler throw her shade? Did Mayor McCheese attempt to segregate the salad bar? I never did like McDonalds. I always eat at McDowells
  11. This is better than watching Colors again 🙂
  12. The only mention of Jimmy being carried offstage that I am aware of was the April 9th 1977 concert in Chicago which was the show he collapsed at the end of Ten Years Gone. Too bad as the boot from that show has Jimmy playing pretty damn good until things begin to go south with him starting SIBLY out of order from the setlist.
  13. 12 degrees C with a light breeze, sun shining, a few high clouds. Absolutely beautiful
  14. Odelay Holmes... Looks and sounds like the movie American Me. That is a classic movie BTW.
  15. Sabbath & Zep were friendly with each other. In particular, Plant & Bonham were childhood friends of Tony Iommi and I think Geezer Butler as well. Bonzo was best man at Tony's weeding. While Sabbath were recording Vol.4, Zep had finished Houses of the Holy and the Zep showed up to hang out. Supposedly a session was recorded but nothing has surfaced. Kinda funny actually, Zep finished recording HOTH during July 72' and was completely mixed and ready for release by August 72' but the artwork held up release by seven months. Same thing happened with PG which was finished by Feb, and in the can (mixed and ready for release) by July 74'. Meanwhile, Sabbath finished Vol.4 by August 72' and is on the shelves by Late September 72'. Then again not much work went into the artwork for Vol.4 or any Ozzy era Sabbath albums.

  17. Well it was 79' and that was a pretty weird year for rock music in general. Most of the rockers were going Disco or (Rod Stewart, KISS) New Wave (Zep, Supertramp, Dobbies, Rush, Fleetwood Mac, Eagles) or Pop (Journey, Styx, Stones). I blame it more on the era than on Zep themselves as all the old guard had changed by 79'. It was the newer or 2nd wave hard rockers (Judas Priest, UFO, Scorpions, Iron Maiden, Ozzy solo, Van Halen, Billy Squire, Meatloaf) who were keeping the faith.
  18. Hello fellow Zep-Heads. Just signed up to post but have been lurking for years, figured it was time to give it a go. Hope all are well and enjoying late-summer wherever you may be.
  19. Hello, New to posting, been lurking for a while and thought why not. I love both albums for different reasons but I agree ITTOD is more of a Robert / JPJ joint but not a Robert solo album in affect due to JPJ's influence. I believe Page wanted to be more included but as mentioned, his vision appears to have been set aside for Robert's & JPJ's. I believe it was Page who brought both Shake My Tree (later a CP hit) and Fire to the sessions but neither was used. Fire was fleshed out but SMT appears to have been completely discarded at the time as no demo of the song seems to exist. A real shame as both of those are great songs and would have fit nicely on the album in place of South Bound Suarez & Hot Dog respectively. Just my 2 cents.
