Sex In The Movies (1968)

I REALLY need this magazine!

Recommended Viewing: Berserk! (1967)

Berserk! (1967) is a British horror film starring screen legend Joan Crawford as the ringleader of a traveling circus that is terrorized by a mysterious serial killer. Blonde bombshell Diana Dors (the U.K.'s answer to Monroe and Mansfield) costars as a saucy sideshow performer. Although lesser known than Crawford's other 1960s camp horror classics such as What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (1962) and Strait-Jacket (1964), Berserk! is every bit as enjoyable.

Just Say No To A Barbarella Remake!

First of all, let it be known that I am not a fan of remakes. In my experience, they consistently fail to do justice to the original, far superior films. (The only exception to the rule that comes to mind is 1954's A Star Is Born starring Judy Garland.)

Barbarella is one of the most iconic films of the Swinging Sixties. Rumors of a possible remake of the 1968 sci-fi cult camp classic have been circulating for a while now, and the project was recently officially confirmed for a 2010 release. Reports suggest that Drew Barrymore will play the title role, but she has not signed on as of yet. Robert Rodriguez was originally slated to direct. However, he has since walked away from the project citing disagreement over production with Universal. The latest news is that Robert Luketic of Legally Blonde fame will take over as director. (Jane Fonda's then husband, Roger Vadim, directed the original film.) The script is currently in development.

Personally, I am vehemently opposed to the idea of a Barbarella remake. No one could ever outdo Jane Fonda as Barbarella and Anita Pallenberg was brilliantly cast as The Great Tyrant. Why mess with perfection?!

Also, on the butcher's block are Rosemary's Baby, Suspiria, and The Birds. (As was made painfully obvious by the god awful Psycho remake, Hitchcock should not be tampered with.)

Come on Hollywood, try thinking up some original ideas for a change and leave the classics alone!

Jayne Mansfield - That Makes It! (1966)

I won't lie to you, The Las Vegas Hillbillys (1966) is a horrendous film. (And not even in a so bad it's good kind of way.) Nevertheless, I just adore this song! You'll be thanking me later when it gets stuck in your head for days on end! :)

The Wild Scene (1970)

I must see this film! The Something Weird releases are great!

Jayne Mansfield For President (1964)

Jayne Mansfield's spoof on the 1964 Presidential Election. This one is a personal favorite from my collection. Best magazine idea ever?! I think so! Delightfully campy from front to back cover!

Jayne possessed a genius for PR. Did you know that she was the most publicized woman in the world for a period in the late 1950s?

Funny, yet true: Following the release of Jayne Mansfield For President, many people honestly thought that JM was serious running for office!

She'd get my vote any day! Glamour a-go-go hearts Jayne Mansfield!!!
