Pretty sure it’s just making fun of Italians.

Heh, if I was a liberal cry-baby I might be offended by all of this seeing as how I’m Italian and all, but then again maybe I can hang a garlic noose on my front door and create a hate crime! Hmmm…maybe I’m a liberal after all?!?!

Excuse me while I put down my Italian joke book to report a hate crime…oh crap I just realized something, not only am I faking a hate crime against myself but I’m a hypocrite as well for having an offensive non-PC Italian joke book…aaaarrrgggg….I AM A LIBERAL….NOOOOOOOO…..I DON’T WANT TO LIVE….MAMA!!!

Seriously, for those on this blog old enough, what in the world happened back then?

Maybe this will help answer your question.

“those who made the movies in the 60’s and those who watched movies in the 60’s were high…all…the…time”

You need to get hold of a film called Danger: Diabolik. It’s like Barbarella, but even more gaudy and kinky and weird. It was spoofed on Mystery Science Theatre 3K. The hero drives around in a sexy white Jaguar E-type. Needless to say he gets the girl.

“Has nobody seen Zardoz?”

I have that on DVD. It came out in 1974 – post “2001″, when all sci-fi films had a trippy bit with lights. The commentary track is very funny because the director, John Boorman, is obviously both embarassed by the film and fond of it at the same time.

Also, it has breasts. And it has Sean Connery’s breasts too.

Oh my God, you are on a roll!! Japanese Spiderman!!

I just finished laughing for about a minute straight. Of course a Japanese Spiderman has to have a giant, transforming, flying robot!

Hilarious!

I don’t know if you noticed in the video you linked about the Lambrettwist video but during the part where they showed a bunch of different ethic types riding on the machine the one black guy is actually a white guy in blackface!

Gee, I thought Europe was so much more sophisticated and culturally better than us knuckle-dragging Americans. Who knew that European actors were still using blackface in the 60’s! Ha!

Why do liberals love European culture so much? Oh yeah, it’s the socialism!

AllahPundit:
60s kitsch, B-picture production values, grotesque European overacting — right, right, but is there something else?

I see quite a bit of this being paradied.

Banzai!

Bravo, bravo!!!!!

Is anyone familiar with the works of Ken Russell?

What about “O, Lucky Man”, which just came out on DVD?

both those who made the movies in the 60’s and those who watched movies in the 60’s were high…all…the…time.

I could tell that everyone in Hollywood was high from those Sid & Marty Krofft kiddie shows in the late 60s, early 70s. That and the Banana Splits.

Back then, when I was a boy before the war, the bong was just being perfected.

I’d like to think that I contributed in some small way.

But I don’t remember, exactly.

“Shut up pussycat, and get me a mocchiato pronto!”

It was a movie starring James Coburn called, The President’s Analyst. I don’t recommend it, but this clip did remind me of it. Seriously, for those on this blog old enough, what in the world happened back then?

In Like Flint! Oh yeah!

Some film buff’s going to know. And then I’ll be sad.
