"Svengoolie" has such a great line-up for September, why did he have to ruin it with "War Of The Gargantuas?"
For those having never seen it, there is a campy scene featuring an ersatz nightclub singer, in a nightclub scene. I think she sings, then gets picked up, and rejected, by a Gargantua. She is the sister of someone famous--I don't remember or care--but the scene is the best moment in the movie.
But after the sublime 1931 "Frankenstein," who wants to see crap????????????
So, we will be watching a Grand Guignol horror special--1969's "What Ever Happened To Aunt Alice?" It stars Geraldine Page, Mildred Dunnock, Ruth Gordon, Rosemary Forsyth....what a cast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so campy, darlings, and Ruth is so Ruth! It's like Minnie Castevet coming to visit the Southwest.
After that we may watch "AHS: Bloody Mary," about the legendary bloody ghost who comes out of a mirror after saying her name three times. Then we may watch "Sissy," a 2022 high school mean girls revenge story. Those are always fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, what you watch tonight is up to you, darlings! But I warn you, "War Of The Gargntuas" does not get better the second time around!!!!!!!!!!!!
How was it?!!
ReplyDeleteI was always an easy target for the Mean Girls at school and church, so it’s cathartic to see them taken down a peg!!
Victoria,
ReplyDeleteWe didn't watch the means girls story. Save that for another time.
We watched "What Ever Happened To Aunt Alice?" and "Bloody Mary." The first was a hoot, great fun, the second not as satisfying as I had hoped.
