The voters speak: Tony Ventresca: I choose Bagpoleon & Josephine due to his extreme overcompensating little man complex and her incredible hottness (even if she is sucking in her tummy). Whoop-di-douche:...
UNDER THE RAINBOW is the infamous Chevy Chase / Carrie Fisher / Billy Barty 1981 comedy about the little people who were starring in WIZARD OF OZ . The film, directed by Steve Rash who would later direct CAN'T BUY ME LOVE , was a fixture on cable in the very early days. However, I don't think it has aired since 1985. It was like the studio realized that it was in very poor taste and hid it away. I...

Billy was an important part of all the Krofft productions. I remember being so obsessed with Pufnstuf every Saturday morning...

By 1979, however, he found himself with a mess. FIREPOWER had, according to IMDB , originally...

Because time isn’t always kind: economic reviews in a world full of waste! More than 40 years ago, Barry Feinstein snapped some photos in Tinseltown. Bob Dylan wrote nearly two dozen poems to accompany them. The result of the collaboration can be found in the coffee-table book HOLLYWOOD FOTO-RHETORIC: THE LOST MANUSCRIPT. Feinstein’s images — all [...]
