OMIGAH That may be the most erotic thing I have ever seen on the TCM channel. Dang. HAHA When I was watching it I was drinking coffee and slowly dribbled it all down the front of me and I didn't even notice till afterwards. That scene was just messed up. So was the Pot Licker scene. Seesh. Good movie though. Weird concept, with the whole 19-year-old virgin wife and such.

it's "pot liccor" or "pot liquor". Not pot licker. Pot liccor is the broth that comes from cooking greens or spinach or the likee with a piece of meat like smoked ham or something.. It reduces in the pot and it's becomes concentrated and very flavorful. You'd like it. Cornbread, biscuits or home made bread to sop it up with. It's a southern staple. You'd love it.
You know, the Catholic church put out a statement when Baby Doll was being released that said anyone who seen it was going to hell. It, along with Lolita still remains two of the most erotic pieces of film making ever released.

Pot liccor... have to remember that. "Pot liccor" was the only thing close to profanity my grandfather would say. LOL. I read the trivia on here about Baby Doll and read that. Can't really blame them for saying it. It's still shocking. I absolutely refuse to watch the older or new-ish version of Lolita. Someone described one of the scenes from the new-ish one.... let's just say I'm not the type of person who would go to extremes to watch a movie like that. I love controversial films and B-movies and such, but the description... ew. Makes me want to bathe.

Baby Doll is a LOT more suggestive that Kubrick's Lolita. The re-make of Lolita just sucks! I tried to watch it but it was so silly and badly delivered that I just turned it off. It's just not a well made film. What Kubrick alluded to but mainly left the imagination of his audience, the director who did the re-make (whoever he is) slopped out there like a farmer slops a trough for his swine. It was so cheap! No Nuance At All. People used to have to use their imaginations and directors knew that they couldn't cross a certain line and that fact forced them to be more imaginative themselves and, in turn, making their work work of quality and unforgettableness.
BUT Not any more!
Modern filmmakers treat the audience like a bunch of idiots that are only interested in what's in front of their eyes. Beat them over the head with T&A and you got it made!
I have no idea why people always choose to remake a classic film that was done right the first time. It's been proven time and time again that all they do is screw it up. Look at Gus Van Sant's remake of Psycho or any of the handful of others they've ruined. Why not take a piece that had potential but was made wrong and remake that one instead?
You're not doing yourself any favors by refusing to watch Kubrick's version. James Mason and Shelley Winters plus the great Peter Sellers? Man, that's a dream cast. So, if you sat down and watched Baby Doll... Lolita is tamer all the way around.

The original Lolita with James Mason (who has one of the coolest voices in cinema history) was on AMC the same time Baby Doll was on TCM. I was going to watch that since I have already seen Baby Doll once, but I remembered what somebody said about the remake and figured the original was worser because it leaves more to the imgaination... and, well... I don't have a normal imagination. One of these days I'm going to have to sit down, without being disturbed, and watch all of Lolita. That's what I had to do with Baby Doll the first time. I am just going to avoid the disgusting sequel all together. Like the story line isn't weird enough, some sicko has to come along and make visual child pornography instead of leaving it to the imagination. Honestly, this is why I don't watch remakes. Cinema just keeps on getting more about sex and less about art as the years go along. Same goes with music. Which is why I basically live in a pre-1960s cocoon when comes to music and movies....

You don't have a "normal" imagination? Could you elaborate on that? I'm interested in imaginations. What are you, a nun?
Yeah, But The Break When Ya Fall On'em ~ Hank Williams Sr.
No, no I wouldn't say 'nun'. LOL. My imagination would probably be best described as Stephen King and Tim Burton spawning the same kid. Yeah.... that covers it. And with that imagination, I want nothing to do with child pornography because it makes it that much more digusting which makes me that more physically ill.

Well, you just said in your other post above that one day you were going to have to sit down undisturbed and watch all of Lolita.
Yeah, But The Break When Ya Fall On'em ~ Hank Williams Sr.
As far as I know, the first one doesn't have child pornography in it. It was the remake that I was talking about.

It's a fantastic scene. Has anyone noticed how similar it is to the scene with Bobby Peru and Lula in "Wild at Heart"? It's most certainly a bit of homage by Lynch.

I couldn't believe how uncomfortable that scene made me. I was like, "Wait...is this suggesting...no, it's 1956. They wouldn't dare...but it looks so much like...nahhhh!"
