Daylight saving ended in the early hours of this morning when clocks were wound back by one hour. It has been hot, steamy and humid .
We ventured to the Village Cinema Centre, which is located on George Street, prior to 4.45 p.m. The opening film, from 1970, was “Bedroom Mazurka”. College students want Max, the virgin, to become the new dean but, in order to do so, he firstly has to marry. However, Max discovers that he is not the marrying kind and becomes a ‘stallion’, instead.
Following the interval, the audience, which was close to capacity, witnessed “If You Don’t Stop It…You’ll Go Blind”, from 1974. As the film nears its conclusion, one of its cast, portrayed by Keefe Brasselle, sings a song in which the words fucking for love (or something similar) are repeated over and over. It is certainly a far cry from the part he played in “The Eddie Cantor Story”, which was produced in the early 1950s.
“If You Don’t Stop It…You’ll Go Blind” possesses its funny moments (in fact, I had to exercise much self-control to stop laughing disruptively at one of the skits) but, in general, is pretty base.
Afterwards, we dined at McDonald’s to avoid the surcharge, of fifty cents each, imposed at the Parisienne Pussycat.
