@analgesicsleep He made him uncoiffed: now he's unhinged!

Retired Youngblood would be a pretty awesome movie, imho! Throwing Tupperware parties and riding a golf cart around the condo complex with Curtis Mayfield playing in the background ...

@GenXAndBitter 🤣 Really need a 70s grindhouse style neonoir film about just the boring business aspects of bad-ass action movie criminal enterprises! I mean, someone has to get those checks out to the henchmen!

@GenXAndBitter I wonder what that Cocaine Dental Coverage is like! 🤣

That is one classy Chess Set! Plenty of Chess sets in blaxploitation movies; neo-noir in general, come to think of it ...

I like to think that the reason Youngblood is wearing that Ankh necklace is because he has an unsettled score with some rival, Mummy drug dealer that isn't mentioned in the film ...

And done with tonight’s first drawing! Always love how receipt pieces turn out; gotta draw more in the future!

Tonight's TCM Underground Wine Club pairing would be low-shelf whiskey mixed into a cup of McDonald's Coffee. This is all, of course, a thinly-veiled prerequisite for acquiring those McDonald's coke spoons for the accompanying bag of cocaine ...

Super Fly was financed by two dentists and Parks’ father, Gordon Parks Sr.. Gotta love parents paying for their kids' weird-ass film dreams; without them we wouldn’t have such cultural icons such as this, Pink Flamingos, David Lynch's student films or Cannibal! The Musical. Signing the check like, ‘Well, I don’t think your father and I will ever f***ing ‘get it,’ but if it makes you happy …”

@analgesicsleep Ron O'Neal, for Aquanet! 🤣 Better stick than the usual TCM Men's Hair Product, Bryllcreem!

@GenXAndBitter Such a straight-and-narrow character he's teamed up with Charles Durning! No iconic sly comebacks from Lt. Garber!

Grindhouse film fans watching as the Hays Code burns in the early 70s ...

Seeing Ron O'Neal in When a Stranger Calls is always a little jarring for me, because it's the only role I can think of him in where he does have an awesomely flamboyant wardrobe and his character isn't too cool for school.

Gordon Parks and Isaac Hays: "Well, we did ... Shaft has one of the greatest soundtracks in film history ..."
Gordon Parks Jr. and Curtis Mayfield: "Hold our beer ..."

Super Fly was finally added to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry in 2022. When I initially learned this a few weeks back, my response was, and I quote “Well, it’s about f***ing time  … Jesus …”

@GenXAndBitter 🤣 I think John Waters' Multiple Maniacs might be the only other example of oatmeal puke I can think of; off of the top of my head, at least!
