Let’s do another one-scene wonder: Mr. Magoo. Because it’s great, and because I only have to create one page for it. Here’s the edit off the jump. I’m tired of all the terrible “DALL-E Mini” BS, but AI does have its uses… Mr. Magoo – The Film You don’t need to know anything about the… Read More Furs on Film – Mr. Magoo (1997)
Here it is; this is the 100th review on this site. A review I debated, but I’ve done The Bitch at this point, so we’ve firmly crossed the soft-core event horizon. Arguably, there is more sex in that mainstream, top-ten 1979-UK-box-office-revived-Joan-Collins’-career flick than in Midnight Blue. It is a perfect example of late-Silk Stockings era… Read More Furs on Film – Midnight Blue (1997)
If The Bitch “helped to revive Joan Collins’ flagging career,” according to Wikipedia at least, where was that career flagging? In cheap Italian exploitation fare. Yes, let’s take a quick trip to Austria, where we find Dame Collins on the set of Magnum Cop. Magnum Cop – The Film & The Furs This is a… Read More Furs on Film – Magnum Cop (1978)
If you’re in the business of reviewing films for marginally esoteric fashion content, specific genres are generally to be avoided. Even in the ‘80s, teens in horror movies did not typically find themselves in oversized fox fur coats. That’s not to say there aren’t exceptions to the horror movie rule, and if you’re making a… Read More Furs on Film – The Stuff (1985)
Yes, I know about Madame Claude. This popped into the suggestion box multiple times, along with some brave soul who may have thought they were making a funny by suggesting Cruella. Well, jokes on them. I mean, there is a site search; check it out before you spam me. Madame Claude 2021 – The Movie… Read More Furs on Film – Madame Claude (2021)
The sheer amount of media produced means a lot of it is unremarkable, like the 1984 film Covergirl. It’s not very good, it’s not very bad, and it’s about as ‘80s as it can be. This is why there’s a pivotal scene in a fur fashion show and a robot. We won’t be talking about… Read More Furs on Film – Covergirl (1984)
Gotta fill in that decade gap somehow. What better way than with what is easily the best fur film of the new millennium? Granted, that is a puny bar to clear, but let’s be fair, Hustlers does a pretty good job of setting the standard. Even if the furs make no goddamn sense. I saw… Read More Furs on Film – Hustlers (2019)
Guess I should put some more effort into this. Thus, as of the current status of my review of all fur media, I present the greatest fur film of the 1970s, The Bitch. It has a couple of things in common with the greatest fur film of the 1930s, The Mad Miss Manton: lots of… Read More Furs on Film – The Bitch (1979)
Controversy. That’s what this blog is about. Today we examine the most significant controversy I made up myself in my own head. Also, it’s January, and I’m posting a Christmas movie. I considered waiting for next year, but let’s face facts, what are the odds I’ll still be doing this a year from now? Exactly.… Read More Furs on Film – National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)
