Tres French: food+sex+scat=happy death
For an ivy league freshman in 1973, it was simply a rite of passage to take a date to a foreign film. I would pretend (oscar worthy effort by yours truly) to adore each film...for the simple purpose of maybe getting lucky with an ivy league female. By accident, I actually enjoyed this insane film. Border-line pornography, it made excess an art form.

News: Iconic Movie Posters Recreated in Neon
Pop Art by Mr Whaite is a cool tumblr featuring a series of neon film posters for popular movies. The artist says: "I love neon signs—they’re hypnotic, sexy, sleazy and tacky all at the same time—and I’ve always thought it would be cool if cinemas used them to advertise films.
