shudder I just had a flashback to what an awful fucking movie that was.
Anyway, I plan to post on a couple of films I’ve watched in a day or two.
Toys

Mark Mauer likes movies cuz the pictures move, and the screen talks like it's people. He once watched Tales from the Gilmli Hostpial three times in a single night, and is amazed DeNiro made good movies throughout the 80s, only to screw it all up in the 90s and beyond. He has met both Udo Kier and Werner Herzog, and he knows an Irishman who can quote at length from the autobiography of Klaus Kinksi. View all posts by mauer
Yes, but “The Toy,” starring Jackie Gleason and Richard Pryor, is brillant. A side note: I almost auditioned for the part of the little boy. There was an open casting call, and my mother asked me if I wanted to try out. Can’t remember why I didn’t. I think I was just lazy. Anyway, we were living in San Gabriel at the time. This must have been in 1981. Ahh, what might have been…
