😄 I missed that one. I did see them filming some of it on 6th & Mission Sts. in SF with Michael Douglas.
Is this a pedophile's dream movie?
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.

YES! Shot near Lone Pine California in the "Alabama Hills". If you are ever that way you have to check out the film museum in Lone Pine. Strider has been there several times too, great little museum.
Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, Owens River (Hot Creek) are all iconic filming locations which made a western seem so much more dramatic with the interesting views and backgrounds. A favorite of mine filmed in the Owens Valley was "Nevada Smith" with the king of cool Steve McQueen.
Were there any movie posters with a shirtless Karl Malden?

Fucking alcohol.
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.

Speaking of "haunting eyes", besides Clara Bow my favorite "eyes" were Gail Russell's eyes. But she of course had a sad and tragic early death---- basically drank herself to death.
She had the BEST kind of hair too. Thick, dark, and full hair....and then those piercing blue eyes. What a knock out!
Gail Russell, Va Va VOOM! What a gorgeous woman and damn fine actress.

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.

That's a different issue. Legally solos etc. are arrangements and don't count towards credit. Re. Taylor, what other choice did he have but to put up with the internal politics of the band? Not like he was a superstar in his own right like Page. In 1974 Page did not have to tag along for the ride while others took credit for his ideas. So it's highly unlikely that he contributed anything more than the solos here.
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.

Well that’s what happens when you portray the Mexican Mafia’s founding leader getting raped in the youth correctional facility and other members committing homosexual acts on other inmates, that’s against their code, and when you portray them in that fashion you’re asking for trouble.
The Mexican Mafia is not all accepting and embracing, and most of all they are not politically correct and don’t abide by the law except their own.
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.

You don't get writing credit for just solos, no?
Just ask Mick Taylor and he wrote much more than just the solos yet...nada.

A few people got killed over that movie both in jail and outside, a hit was put out on Edward James Olmos.
Great movie though.
I heard of sacrificing for your art but that is ridiculous!

A black chick walked out of the local McDonald's today mumbling about racism and no one said a word to that bitch. There were 3 of us waiting for our orders. This McDonald's employs all races. Typical BLM tactic to start trouble. I know for a fact that this town will not tolerate any of their bullshit.
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

You forgot to add "vato". And BTW it's "ese".
"Check out this ese vato in the chopped chort ranfla homes!"
White boy translation: "Check out this dude driving the chopped and lowered lowrider, bro!"
Or they might say, "Orale ese vato!" Translated: "right on man!" Or "Orale carnal" meaning "right on brother!"
This is better than watching Colors again 🙂

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.

We have lots of names for the subculture here. In my father's day they were called "Pachukos" they wore Zoot suits but mostly stayed on the East side of the L.A. river in a area of Los Angeles called "Boyle Heights"--- (classic East L.A.).
When I was in high school they were just called "cholos". They wore khaki slacks with perfect creases, Hush puppy loafers, Pendelton shirts with collars buttoned to the top, but the lower buttons open revealing their "wife beater" style white t-shirts underneath. None of them wore baseball caps like today, they wore either bandannas or hairnets, and all drove low riders (usually Chevy Impalas but Buick Rivieras if they had more money)--- all with those tiny "chain link" steering wheels and the 'organ pipe' speakers on the rear window deck. Everything looked right out of Cheech and Chong movie. And they all had gang names like Popeye, Casper, Joker, Rascal, Chato, Nacho. And with the girls there was always at least one named "Sad Girl" sporting a "mi vida loca' tattoo on her hand (three dots). But to be a "veterano" (what someone today would call O.G./ original gangster) you had to be pretty mild mannered and in control. They didn't tolerate some of the antics you see today--- brought too much police attention. Most of the older Veteranos were actually pretty cool having been around the block enough times to not need to prove a damn thing.
When I was in high school there were different areas where the surfers hung out, were the "socs" / cheerleader types hung out; the stoners (we called them "heshers" with their grungy long hair and always high). But the part of the school where the Cholos hung out was called "hard look hallway"; they all stood in a row in that classic Cholo stance throwing shade on everyone that walked by.
Odelay Holmes... Looks and sounds like the movie American Me. That is a classic movie BTW.

So how did Sabbath know about Bron-Yr-Aur? I suppose they could've heard it live?
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.

Presence to me is hard and ruff. Its Zep in a bad mood. Not one really happy song on there. ITTOD sounds a little bit happy. Its hard to connect ITTOD with the band that made Zep 1 to PG. I guess each band is different. To me its like Zep really aged after Presence. Someone here said it a long time ago. ITTOD sounds like Zep aged 10 yrs from Presence.
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.

The scourge of the land and it never stops. These local dumb fuck white boy 'gangstas' who drive around playing that aggravating, repetitious rap shit with the booming bass. If they ever did drive through a ghetto they'd shit their pants.
So true

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.

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.
