Yippee! One of my favorite cheesy movies!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

What's your favorite scene or quote from the movie? I love Helen Lawson (though Neely has some great lines). This Helen Lawson quote was on my answering machine in college:

"Look, they drummed you right out of Hollywood. So you come crawling back to Brawdway. Well, Brawdway doesn't go for booze and dope!"

1. gee

I can just see Rush in his fluffy slippers and jammies popping popcorn and getting all ready to watch.........

watching it! Thanks for the info.

3. I wish I had Oxygen! That's my favorite bad movie--I mean, it's just so

bad that it's good!

I bet Patty Duke was thinking "Second Oscar" when she signed on to that role!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

4. Personally, I thought Patty sucked big ones in this movie

Except on a campy level. I love the movie though! Especially the catfight in the restroom!

8. Yeah, the whole movie did, that's why it's fun!

But come on, a pill popping starlet--I'm sure she figured the role would highlight her dramatic abilities. I mean, I think she's a good actress, but she obvioulsy misjudged how the role would play out.

5. Neeeeeeely Ooooooohaaaaaraaaaaaaaah

which reminds me I lent my copy of the VHS to one of my friends about 3 years ago and never got it back. Sharon Tate was hot.

6. Fox Movie Channel showed an "annotated" version

a couple of weeks ago, with subtitles giving fun facts about the film.

It was a great guilty pleasure. :7

7. Kick-Where is Skittles? She LOVES This Movie!

9. if only they paired it with BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS

This is my happening, and it freaks me out!

The last time I saw that in the theater, for some reason I was the only person laughing. This really confused me.

[joeybee12]

10. Did you know that Roger Ebert wrote the screenplay for Beyond...?????

God, and he's the one now critiquing movies!

[thebigidea]

11. when I lived in Chicago, I thanked him for it

I said its ultimately what he'll be remembered for.

whenever I see Ebert criticize a movie I like, I just remember the line he himself penned:

"You will taste the black sperm... of my VENGEANCE!"

[joeybee12]

12. Saw him at London Heathrow once, in the lounge area where everyone

is while waiting to hear which gate your flight will be at. he was buying lots in the expensive shops--movie reviewing sure pays well, I guess!
