I saw Ghost in the Shell on Friday. Yeah not bad.
On the weekend I saw a Russ Meyer's film called Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!. What prompted me to watch this was seeing a fundraising campaign on Facebook for a documentary about Tura Satana who was one of the stars of the film. I had never really heard of her before but I had seen her before in a film called Astrozombies years ago that was dubbed with comedy voices. They gave her a line "I think I go have shower".
Anyway very interesting. You could not take it seriously. Had some really bad script and acting and in places just made no sense with regards to character motivation and actions. And the car driving scenes were pretty funny. However you could totally see why Tura was such a fascinating person. And the roles the women played were so sexual, forthright and aggressive which was totally contrary to how women were meant to behave. It reminded me of Bettie Paige and that kind of genre. So worth watching. Just suspend disbelief.
