About this series
"You like movies because you're one of life's great watchers."
So says Woody Allen's irked, soon-to-be-ex-wife in Play It Again, Sam, obviously having had enough of his sedentary lifestyle. Hmm, I think she would have left me, too.
But, hey, do a female's myriad charms really stack up against the corny delights of Cocktail, the vicious cynicism of The Sweet Smell of Success, the dark ferocity of The Thing, the fantastic imagination of Westworld, the perverted milieu of Happiness or the heartbreak of Kes?
For these are just some of the films covered in the fifth part of this lewd, politically incorrect guide to the treasures of twentieth century cinema. Author Dave Franklin also throws in a bevy of bitches, the worst-ever holidays and a tribute to old men feasting on teenage flesh.
Titles in the series (5)
- Go Fuck an Iceberg! A Brit's Take on Guns, Tits and Other Fun Movie Stuff: Ice Dog Movie Guide, #1
1
A bawdy, politically incorrect and scattershot guide focusing on movies from the last half of the 20th century. Dave Franklin has also written ten novels.
- Smile, You Sonuvabitch! A Brit's Take on Catfights, Serial Killers and Other Fun Movie Stuff: Ice Dog Movie Guide, #2
2
From Peckinpah and Schwarzenegger to Ulzana's Raid and Switchblade Sisters, Dave Franklin takes a politically incorrect look at the glories of twentieth century cinema. In this second volume of his Baby Ice Dog Movie Guide, he offers eight Fucked-Up Films, a bit of tit trauma, ten of the best Starring Debuts, some macho idiots, a tribute to Michael Douglas' prime, and a glance at the most over the top performances in movie history. Not to mention eco-horror, the odd catfight and a handful of ridiculous deaths. So grab a beer, settle back and enjoy…
- Rooney Eats It! A Brit's Take on Pimps, Child Deaths and Other Fun Movie Stuff: Ice Dog Movie Guide, #3
3
Chick flicks. Brokeback Mountain. Bollywood. Superhero movies. Sophie's Choice. Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock. Avant-garde musicals... If this sort of stuff is your cup of tea, then this isn't the book for you. Blokey film enthusiast Dave Franklin instead concentrates on the politically incorrect delights of Coffy, Magnum Force and Boogie Nights while paying tribute to the likes of Christopher Walken, Paul Schrader, 70's disaster movies and Brian De Palma. There's even some tongue-in-cheek appreciation of the God-like Steven Seagal. So settle back, forget about identity politics and the prevailing lefty narrative, and immerse yourself in a book that values celluloid entertainment above all else. Or as Rob Reiner says at the start of the immortal Spinal Tap: "Enough of my yakking. Let's boogie."
- Oh, My God! Ninja! A Brit's Take on Arnie, Icky Sex and Other Fun Movie Stuff: Ice Dog Movie Guide, #4
4
I have of late, wherefore I know not, lost all of my mirth… Man delights not me; no, nor women neither. In my dreams (and increasingly during my more whimsical waking moments) I wander through Movieland. Sometimes I chat to Kelly McGillis about being in a 4G inverted dive with a MiG-28 while a strung-out Withnail stands close by complaining about going on holiday by mistake. At others a xenomorph near the bus stop rips off Forrest Gump's head before being machine-gunned by the ED-209. I close my eyes, take a contented breath, and reopen them to see Frau Blücher upsetting the horses again as Tony Montana snorts coke and tells the permanently agitated Don Logan that this town is like one giant pussy waiting to get fucked. I wander and I wander and I never want to leave… Some movies, you see, contain magic. Magic that seeps into your soul and becomes a part of you. I mean, why waste your time travelling the world, having a career, nurturing dreams or taking a woman seriously? Such pursuits involve a great deal of effort and invariably end in disappointment. Surely it's better to stay invisible at home while exploring a rich cinematic odyssey alongside the likes of Marty McFly, Jessica 6, the Black Knight, Bill Kilgore and a Stepford wife or two? Come now. Partake in the madness. Let me hold your hand and lead you nowhere.
