Eating Raoul

"Eating Raoul" is such a fun, goofy movie. I can't remember when I first saw it. It's a shame that the DVD has zero extras. I would like to know more information about this movie. 

Paul Bartel (R.I.P.) is the star of this show, starring, directing and writing the film. His partner in crime is the always likable, Mary Woronov, who's best known as Miss Togar in "Rock'n'Roll High School" and she also was in some Andy Warhol projects in the 1960s. I love her clothes in this movie. This is Robert Beltran's second movie (even though, I think he's credited as "introducing"). You might be know him best from the "Star Trek: Voyager" series. I know I didn't though because I never watched that show. 

"Eating Raoul" was eventually turned into a musical. Hmmm.. I'm not sure what to make of that. The plot is about the Blands, a couple who wants to open their own restaurant. They can't afford the building they want, so they lure swingers to their apartment, hit them over the head with a frying pan and then rob them. Its funnier than it sounds. 







Easy Money

Ah, "Easy Money". I've never seen this. Its on Instant on Netflix, so I'll have to take a look. It has Rodney Dangerfield (of course) that's a good reason to check it out. 

I had to laugh at the scene in "Lost In America" where Albert Brooks is trying to find a job at the employment office. He asks the clerk, "Have you seen 'Easy Rider'?" and the clerk responds with "No, but I've seen 'Easy Money'". 

I altered the poster a little bit to create the pin design. I erased the text on his forehead and replaced it with the title. I put a white stroke outline on the title also. It almost looks like he's staring at the title stuck to his forehead,
