Furs on Film – La gran quiniela (1983)

Once more, we remind our readers why fur fashion peaked in the 1980s, with the appropriate nod of reverence to the 1930s. We induct a new member to the canon of indispensable ‘80s fur films (and the 20% club). You don’t have to speak Spanish to enjoy La gran quiniela, because it speaks the universal…

Furs on Film – I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses (1978)
Oh la, la, an official “Video Nasty” this week. While many of my updates are of nasty films, it’s because they are, in fact, terrible in most artistic senses. I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses made an official list. I’m not sure how this stacks up to Cannibal Apocalypse, but I’ll assume British censors only…

Furs on Film – Wait Until Dark (1967)
So, August is “low effort post” month. Or, it starts that way, with a one-and-done affair that you can check out of very early. The “good” news here is you won’t suffer too much if you keep going, as Wait Until Dark is generally agreed to be a pretty good movie. Wait Until Dark –…

Let’s discuss the limits of technology. Namely, upscaling technology, where the results can be impressive but are still highly dependent on the quality of the source material. In old programmer lingo: garbage in, garbage out. Thus, when you start with fuzzy-VHS-quality standard def, you are not destined for 4k greatness. Thus do I adjust your…

It’s VHS time! While I love the 80s, there is quite a bit of media from that time that is only available in postage stamp resolution by modern standards. So forgive the lower quality; AI upscaling can only do so much at this point. I hereby swear, should The Gumshoe Kid be released with a…

I have unintentionally been flipping back and forth between drama and comedy for the past few updates, so let’s keep that ball rolling. It’s swinging ‘60s time again, a decade that is not the best for my preferred type of fur fashion but is not without its charms. Charm #1 is Natalie Wood, who returns…

Furs on Film – The Infiltrator (2016)
This is the last ‘80s period piece I have queued up at the moment, which means entries that start with “2” in the year of release will be far less common. Tip of the big fur hat to all the costume designers who demand authenticity in their historical films, but I just wish the 1980s…

Furs on TV – Lace & Lace II (1984-85)
Hey, television, I’m supposed to be paying attention to that, too. So, let’s turn our dials back to the prestige TV mini-series era. It’s also the era of fabulous furs, the 1980s, which works out well for us. While many were sweeping in scope, many boiled down to short soap operas with a colossal location…

Furs on Film – White of the Eye (1987)
Want a horror movie set in the desert where the ladies wear fur? Sure, we got that too. Interestingly, White of the Eye relentlessly establishes the southwest Arizona scenery every chance it gets, all so Cathy Moriarty can cruise around it in a red fox jacket. Oh, and a horny housewife can pull the ole…

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…
