After only a short time of being on this site I wish I would have joined sooner. There is so much content it's overwhelming at times. So much to look at and do, but I still have to find time to go do my job, shower, eat and do other random necessary things.
Speaking of doing other things, I went to a Weird Wednesday showing of "Toys Are Not For Children" at the Alamo Drafthouse. If you don't know about Alamo Drafthouse, they are a local movie theatre chain where you can order food and beer while enjoying movies of all sorts, whether they are old cult classics, new releases, or strange shit like "Toys Are Not For Children."
Here's the amazon.com description: "Toys Are Not for Children" (1973, 84 min.) - Miserable with her marriage to a toy-store clerk and obsessed with memories of her long-absent father, child-like Jamie learns that toys are not for children when she turns her life around--by becoming a hooker! Playing "daddy's little girl" with dirty old men, she finds true happiness until a friend arranges a special "date" between Jamie and her whore-hungry dad that, to put it mildly, does not go well.
I recommend this movie to anyone who likes weird, retro movies that try to fuck with your head. The movie is by no means spectacular, but it was entertaining throughout. Here are some images I found on the infrawebs to intice ya:
I'm not sure if this is on netflix, but it has been released on dvd. If you watch it, let me know what you think.
