Oh, Not Again, Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                                  

                                   This month, darlings, "Svengoolie" is offering a double feature each week.  Tonight's selections are so incongruous they defy logic.

                                     If I had to pick the worst movie "Svengoolie" ever showed or shows, it would be "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken."  Those who have not seen it are welcome to take a look.  But those having viewed it know Don Knotts cannot carry a vehicle by himself, and the film is just so plain boring I could not wait for it to end.  Why David and I watched it a second time is beyond me, but I swore never to watch it again.  And I won't.  Now, as for what we will watch, I will let you know.

                                       Now, the second feature I feel is nervy of the Sven Squad to show.  Just like his showing of "The Bad Seed" did not work, because, though it has campy elements, it is a rather serious film, and the network, or the show, made the mistake of breaking for commercials in the middle of big, dramatic scenes, instead of allowing them to conclude to the end.  I have the film on DVD, so it can be watched whenever, and while I enjoyed seeing it for its own sake, it did not fit into the "Svengoolie" rubric.

                                          "The same can be said for tonight's second feature, "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?"  Sure, us gays know all the lines, and yes there is more than an element of camp to it, but this is an A-lister and won't get the respect it merits from "Svengoolie."  At its heart is a very sad story, going back several generations, of how show business destroys an entire family.  And the ending, while campy of sorts, I find unbearably poignant. I think showing this film is a mistake; they might have done better with something like "Die!  Die! My Darling."

                                                So, once again, we are refraining from "Svengoolie" this week.  As for the alternative, I did not share on last week's, alternate, so I may combine both into one post.

                                                   But take tonight off, girls!  Watch something else, or go to a night club!

                                                    You will have a better time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
