Bad Mothers! Part II

Russ Tamblyn is a rotten bastard

Guess who?

I see mathematics!

Everyone's favourite trip down memory lane.

Bad Mothers!

A few treats from movies with a grotesque dominant mother theme.

The Baby, featuring Ruth Roman in fine form. I'd like to see how Supernanny would handle this situation.


Bad Boy Bubby - for those who haven't had the pleasure, watch this movie by Rolf De Heer when you get a chance. Bubby is a guy who was locked up by his mother for thirty something years and has to fit in to 'our world' (well, Australia in this case) after his escape.


This scene features Bubby's accidental musical debut and is one of the more pleasant moments of the film - mainly because you get the feeling that he's beginning to break away from his past.

Queen Kong

Featuring Robin Askwith, Saucy British Cinema star of the Confessions... series and 'Carry On Girls'. The British, despite being under the delusion that they hold the benchmark for irreverent comedy and intelligent drama, have occasionally proved that they are exceedingly good at being really bad. Which is nothing to be ashamed of.
Father Christmas gave me the book many years ago and I still haven't got round to reading it yet - I may take it with me if I ever need a lengthy stint in hospital.
Thanks to Donna for inviting me here, and hello to the rest of you. I've already been introduced to Mavis today, which was a pleasure!

Good heavens!

I saw Dino DeLaurentiis at Target yesterday.
Doncha just love Bible movies? Can you imagine the amounts of water poor Jesus must've had to turn into wine for this cast o' drunks?

Legend has it that George C. and Ava were responsible for the ban on actors at the Madrid Ritz.

Teenage mother means nine months of trouble!

There's nothing I can add to this. It's perfect.

Duffy - triple James!

I just tivo'd this on TCM.

"What are you on - some kind of new pill?"
