Now that Hollywood is going through the motions of condemning every indiscretion they’ve committed since Fatty Arbuckle (who was railroaded, by the way), the laser eyes were eventually turned on The Last Tango in Paris.
Legend has it that the star, Romy Schneider, had no idea what was going to happen in the infamous butter scene.
#METOOers are saying this was an onscreen rape (Brando grabs some butter and lubes up Romy’s exit ramp for a little surprise “deliverance.”)
Oddly, they are now saying that there is an extreme butter shortage in France.
Could it be the French are playing catch up with the butter trick?
Naaa.
It has to do with government price controlling run amok.
ht/ the big owe
If there’s a butter shortage, couldn’t they just churn out more?…
Ah, Last Tango in Paris. Another of those uplifting movies from the late 60s/early 70s. Midnight Cowboy, was another. Cabaret. I’m sure readers can add a bunch more if they care to. Depressing, with meaningless and gratuitous sex.
It was not Romy Schneider, it was Maria Schneider.
Rob Schnieder got butt sexed by Brando with butter?
Recently my grocery store had Land O’ Lakes butter on sale and I bought some. I noticed that on the receipt it was listed as “LOL butter”.
Sure enough, when I tried it, it tasted funny.
😉
That’s why they call it butt er
PHenry you could’ve mentioned that terrible movie They Shoot Horses, Don’t They or worse The Way We Were, both terrible movies. Or The World According To Garp, John Irving is highly overrated and that was a horribly depressing movie.
So your saying Butter has been Margarinealized?
The worst and most depressing movie I ever watched was Valley Of The Dolls. A friend and I got in big trouble for watching that when we were 15 back in 1968 by his very Catholic father who worked for my Dad. If I remember right it was condemned by the Catholic Church and we were stupid enough to go and see it, I’m surprised the theater let us watch it.
I saw a movie once … there was some guy in it … and some girl ……. they did some stuff and then the movie was over. They talked alot. I think a car turned over …….. but that may have ben The A-Team.
sometimes I buy “Blue Bonnet” with the girl on the cover but seems sexist- other times I buy “I can’t believe it’s not butter” oh woe is me– now when I spread it on my bread ( yes real bread or toast ) I’m gonna have a creepy feeling. hahaha.
you all have a great day.. >”-“<
@geoff. I was fortunate enough to never see any of the movies you listed. Heard of them. But never saw them.
Correction. I saw Da Way We Wuz. Sucked ass.
Depressing, pointless movies from the ’70’s…I’d put “The Wall” on that list.
The only thing I remember from “Last Tango” is Maria Schneider’s magnificent bush.
I was gonna mention Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but I guess this isn’t the proper thread.
Everything’s better with Blue Vomit on it.
I can’t believe it’s not phlegm.
Use real butter people. In moderation.
The French were smarmy DECADES (or more) before “Last Tango in Paris.”
*I* blame the horny, barbaric goat-f*ckers.
Old joke, What’s green and skates? Peggy Phlegm.
Geoff, What’s green and yellow and carries a rifle?
Mucas McCain.
Leaving Las Vegas, The Piano, no redeeming factors
geoff the aardvark — Valley of the Dolls is such a cult classic it’s been parodied. A Seattle theater troop staged it in parody and I embarrassed myself and Geoff C. by laughing uproariously seconds before the all the punchlines. The ‘mobile’ scene was too much! This troop built a mobile that descended from the ceiling and it was ENORMOUS! The mother character kept walking into it. Too hysterical.
