Monday, July 04, 2005 "THE SAN FRANCISCO TREAT"we drove across the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE on friday and had lunch in SAUSALITO. i think read once that a member of FLEETWOOD MAC lived in the hills of SAUSALITO, so we spent an hour driving around guessing which house belonged to CHRISTINE McVIE. that night, we had a fabulous dinner with WAYNE HOLLOWELL, his sister MARY and her husband JOHN. in 1986, WAYNE was the ATLANTA COLLEGE OF ART student who approached me one night at my go-go dancing gig with a script he had written for me to star in. the movie was MAHOGANY 2, and within a year, we filmed not only that one, but several others including THE CONNIE FRANCIS STORY, PSYCHO BITCH, AMERICAN PORN STAR, POLICE LADY and the epic saga, 4 months in the making, VOYEUR. WAYNE will be relocating to D.C. next month and we've agreed to start working on a new movie by fall. RONNY had never seen WHAT'S UP DOC? (i carry the DVD with me wherever i go) so we watched it in honor of SAN FRANCISCO, the city in which it was filmed. he loved it, and i was able to point out to him just how much WHO'S THAT GIRL? is a blatant rip-off of the BARBRA classic (RONNY is a big MADONNA fan). the two films are virtually identical right down to the title. to be fair, FOUL PLAY is also a "reworking" of WHAT'S UP DOC? we've also watched A DIRTY SHAME several times during this trip. neither of us saw it in it's initial release, and had been quite frankly warned off by trusted friends, but we've more than made up for the lapse in time. i think it's JOHN WATERS' best since SERIAL MOM. it's smart, funny and packs a mean political punch to the uptight self-righteous. . | Permalink 2009 RuCo, Inc.—All Rights Reserved |
