Its #WTFWednesday and todays entry is a Blizzard warning in Southern California. WTF!! Besides that there is Blue Lagoon (1980 US) Not only does this fit into WTFWednesday but also #ShitMyEyesAreBurning. Cousins, about 8 years old, get shipwrecked on an island and left trying to figure out survival and their own sexuality. Ultimately, they have a baby. Brook Shields was 14 when this was made. Who tf thought this was a good idea? Shields recently said on her podcast that this film would not get made today. Oh, Honey I didn't even want to put up most of the screen shots of the film. I don't want the God damn FBI breaking down my door cuz I have child porn on my computer. The BTS stories are even more problematic as the film. Where were the adults on the island? Rotten Tomatoes has given it an 8% rating. What I want to know is who those 8% are? This film seriously needs to be scrubbed and shot into the sun. What's even more revolting is it made money and spawned sequels. Before this Shields played a 12 year old prostitute in Pretty Baby (1978 US). This film featured nude scenes of Shields and critics defended it as art and not child porn. I honestly hope that this type of film never gets made again. Please don't watch it. #LoveFestFebruary #Film #Films #FilmFan #Movie #Movies #Cinema

It’s #WTFWedesday and todays entry is Lolita (1962 US) written and directed by Stanley Kubrick. Despite my adoration for Kubrick’s work I have to put this in the #ShitMyEyesAreBurning category. A professor marries a widow to get close to her teen age daughter, Lolita, but when the mom dies he has the daughter all to himself to obsess over. But Lolita is not what she seems and tables get turned. I love you Kubrick and I know you definitely had a point but seriously WTF. The problem I have with a movie like this is there are waaaay too many people in this world that couldn’t get the point if they were stabbed with it. For them it would probably feel like permission or ideas. I watched it once a while ago and did not want to watch it again. Film critique wise it’s very well done. Of course, Kubrick was a perfectionist. Find it on HBO and Amazon or available to rent if you are so inclined. #LoveFestFebruary #Film #Films #FilmFan #Movie #Movies #Cinema #TCMParty

It’s #WTFWednesday and todays entry is Pillow Talk (1959 US) Rock Hudson and Doris Day star in this screwball comedy. I was flying back from a film fest in Spain and the entertainment was broken on the plane leaving only this film and few others. I was bored so I watched it. I’m going to put this into the #Shitmyeyesareburning category. I hadn’t seen the film in awhile and watched it with a more modern eye. I think I counted six assaults on Doris Day not to mention all of the lying to her. It was so hard to watch. Talk about cringe. But I was a captive audience. This film actually got recognized by the Film Academy and Day won for best actress. Wtf #Oscar. Find it on broken planes and for rent on most streaming. #LoveFestFebruary #Film #Films #Film #FilmFan #Movie #Movies #Cinema
