Crimes of Passion (1984, Ken Russell dir.) has kind of a convoluted premise; Kathleen Turner plays Joanna Crane, a top sportswear designer who by night becomes “China Blue,” a grungy street prostitute in dire need of an emotional connection with her clients. One of them (played by Bruce Davison) dashes for the shower right after he finishes, prompting the memorable comment from her: “You just can’t wait to wash me off of you, can you?”
Ah, OK, yes. Does SJP ever actually show anything in the real version?
Yes, but her toucan nose is always strategically blocking the goods in every shot.
I think I saw that scene yesterday in a biopic of Melvin Van Peebles (which I’d highly recommend btw).
My wife shows purebred Keeshonden. I’ve been to enough dog shows and been her substitute handler to agree with her that Best In Show is not actually a comedy, but is in fact a documentary.
She says it’s totally unrealistic, though, because you don’t get to see the six hours it took to groom the poodle. I countered with the argument that no sane audience would sit through six hours of poodle-grooming just to see Eugene Levy be mildly amusing.
I know I wouldn’t.
I remember when that movie came out, but I don’t think I saw it. But I remember this scene. If it’s a Japanese meme, would it have been in another movie?
God help me for remembering this, but I remember that mainstream romcom About Last Night (adapted from the play Sexual Perversity in Chicago by David Mamet) includes a line where Elizabeth Perkins’s character is boasting to her BFF (Demi Moore) about a new boyfriend, and after listing his good qualities she finishes with a triumphant, “And he doesn’t make me sleep in the wet spot!”
And that’s my fascinating contribution to this thread. This was back in the late 1980s, IIRC.
