This movie is so fucking bad ass! I first saw it while being babysat around the age of 8, and I loved it! I thought it was a comedy for the longest time. I remember laughing hysterically at the scene where Joan Crawford beats the shit out of her daughter with can of Ban Ami cleaning powder. I was a strange child.

Was Brooke Shields in that? I can't remember.

I also enjoy the wire hangers scene. Her mom spends a lot of money on those clothes, bitch shouldn't use wire hangers.

No way, Glen Close was in it though.

Whoops. I was thinking of "Alice, Sweet Alice". Disregard.

Brooke Shields was in a lot of good movies. I really enjoyed Alice, Sweet, Alice and I also liked Pretty Baby and the Blue Lagoon.

The movie itself isn't so bad, but having been hit with a wire hanger by my mother, it hits a little too close to home.

Oh, I'm sorry. That little girl actress wore leather under her clothes to shield her from the blows.

Shit happens. Can't change the past, and my mom and I now are pretty close.

That's good. Is she a former alcoholic?

No, she still drinks. When I was younger I couldn't handle it. As I got older I developed better ways to calm myself and her down so it's much easier to deal with her now.

Hey buspuppie, have you seen Straw Dogs with Dustin Hoffman? If so, what did you think? I downloaded it a while ago, and may give it a watch right about now.

I haven't. What's the plot?

Taken from IMDB: 7.6/10
"Dustin Hoffman plays a regular American mathematician, who gets into some trouble with local bullies. He is made fun of and then his wife is raped. When they attack his home, he fights back. His outbreak of violence is extreme."

I'm going to watch it. I'll let you know how it is.

Yeah. We actually work in the same place. She doesn't rat me out for smoking pot I don't rat her out for smelling like booze some days.

Alright, just finished watching it. It took about an hour or so to get going which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it did drag on a bit at certain points. The plot summary led me to believe that Dustin Hoffman would be getting mercilless revenge on the men who bullied him, and for his wife being raped, but that's not quite how it went down. It had excellent acting and a satisfactory script compared to the original "The Last House on The Left" for example, but all in all I was pretty disappointed. Maybe my standards are fucked, but I felt like it should have been a lot more brutal, and a lot more bloody. I don't think it was about revenge really, I think it was more about Dustin Hoffman breaking out of the whimpy and passive persona that he seemed to be stuck in. At any rate, ever since I checked out "I Spit on Your Grave" (the remake, not the original), the revenge movies that I watch have a hard time impressing me (save the Kill Bill series). It wasn't terrible, but it didn't floor me either. Watch it if you like, but I wouldn't exactly recommend it.
