Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
I knew nothing about this movie other than the famous image of Tom Cruise sliding across the floor in shirt and without pants; the actual plot, in which young Joel (Cruise) successfully hires a prostitute (Rebecca De Mornay) and eventually turns his home into a brothel, is mind-boggling -- I imagine that gender politics would prevent it ever being produced today. If anything, though, it's refreshingly direct (other teen sex comedies would be much improved if the matter were dealt with using a professional in negotiable affection).
It's a tightly-written script with charismatic leads and some nice moments provided by "Guido the killer pimp" (Joe Pantoliano looking oh so young). Still worth a look.
