FASTER PUSSYCAT KILL KILL SCREENING WITH TURA SATANA Q & A

Okay Chicagoans you decide- Is it a confession to say I’ve never seen Faster Pussycat Kill Kill? Event organizer Rusty Nails thought so. He’s probably right but HEY I’ve just been waiting for the right opportunity. To clarify I’m not a big Russ Meyer fan (or of tittie flicks in general) but there is a point where I can ignore the cheesecake content of his stuff enough to appreciate the all out twonk factor. The trailer for Faster Pussycat alone had me rolling around in my office lazyboy. Whether he knew it at the time, and it’s hard to believe he didn’t- remember this is the guy who went on to work with Roger Ebert on Beyond The Valley of The Dolls- the element of self parody is really what makes his better movies work. In that regard I think the guy was a genius. He's also pretty tame barely edging up past Youtube in his use of skin. Meyer once said “Nothing is obscene providing it is done in bad taste.” I'm not sure I entirely buy that but somehow it also makes me feel a little warm and fuzzy inside and it definitely gives the uninitiated a good idea of what they’re in for with a Meyer film. Guilty pleasure? Not guilty enough to keep me away from this screening.

Especially since they’re having star Tura Satana there to meet greet and Q & A for a mere $1!!!! .

Screening is Wednesday October 27 at 8 p.m. Music Box Theater 3733 Southport Ave. here in Chicago.
