Sorry I don't do anything for free.

Pop quiz, name five great prostitution movies and win a prize.

Spoiler: Show

Belle de Jour, Midnight Cowboy,Klute ,Pretty Woman and Leaving Las Vegas .Butterfield 8 is stylized trash.My Private Idaho sometimes powerful but is only fair because of Keanu Reeves (Bonus point if you got the Speed reference though) .Whore is Ken Russell so an acquired taste and the only thing worse than Deuce Bigalow is Deuce Bigalow 2 or The Animal or basically anything else Rob Schneider has ever done.

Any of De Niro's latest movies would qualify.

I could pay you in street cred.

Drive Angry and Season of the Witch. Was in a Nic Cage kind of mood. Both were okay. Nothing too special. I knew what was going on in Drive Angry, I just didn't know why. Didn't make a lot of sense to me. I never really saw the preview before I watched it.

A movie that requires a preview to make sense has failed in storytelling.
A movie that features Nic Cage has failed in good taste.
A Cage film that makes no sense is normal.

I'm watching Repo Man (1984). It is one of the best movie films I've seen today, and I have seen two.

A classic. Very much a child of the eighties, and slightly strange, but nonetheless I'm enjoying it.

A young Emilio Estevez portrays a somewhat aimless youth who becomes a repo man in a grimy city somewhere. Not sure if it's meant to be a vision of the future, or just some sort of commentary on contemporary America.

A mildly interesting premise at any rate. Tie in some some oddness about extraterrestials, and some other repo men, each reciting his own moral code, and a few recurring punks committing random crimes in the background, and you've got yourself a movie.

Watched The Hidden (1987), after. Another super excellent blast from the past. Kyle MacLachlan from back when he got cast in good stuff, playing a mysterious FBI agent chasing a space-slug capable of possessing people.

Excellent performance by MacLachlan, being as strange as in his role in Twin Peaks. Pretty decent special effects as far as the alien goes, considering the times. And, whilst simple, I found the story entertaining.

I definitely recommend it, especially for lovers of cheesy sci-fi flicks. Works nicely as a double feature along with Repo Man.

I can't seem to remember much about the movie other than Estevez being in it and the glowing something in the trunk of a car that when I first watched Pulp Fiction made me think that Tarantino had largely lifted the idea in that movie of the briefcase directly from this .
Anyway seems a classic example of how some movies used to wear their subversiveness proudly. Sadly now subversive being more or less confined to comics and movies currently taken over by music video directors more than happy to be little more than corporate shills.

I do remember The Hidden though as being pretty satisfying for what it was.
