I can't remember whether it is Holly or another actress, but someone in this flick keeps saying "Oh reeeeeeeally!" in response to whatever she's being told. It just cracks me up, and has stuck with me lo these many years. Often enough my wife or kids will say something to me and I respond with a hearty "Oh reeeeeeeally!"
They don't have a clue.
I was lucky enough in my life to have a friend, whom had a father who owned a video store in the late 80's and early 90's. His dads store had a bizarre section that carried Warhol films. When his dad retired and sold shop, he gave all the Andy Warhol films to me. I still have all of them.
I haven't watched those films in quite sometime but if I ever think on a Warhol film actress, Andrea Feldman is the person I can always hear in my mind.
She always exageratted her words. If I even hear the word "acid", I always think about Andrea Feldman saying "Is it acid?" but three times real fast.
She was always going off on "It's time for the shooooowwwtttiiiiimmmmme.
My favorite was "I don't want to get *beep* by a juuunnnkkiieee.
It's funny how those things do lead off as personal jokes in your life. Even all these years later, I probably do one or so Andrea Feldman immitations each week.
Sherlock ...
How great to read your response! So, is it Feldman who keeps saying, "Oh, reeeeally!"? I had forgotten about her character ("Rich Girl") in Trash, but I think she's the one. I now also remember "I don't want to get f-ed by a juuuuuunkkiiee." TOO FUNNY! And she says that while she can't keep her eyes and hands off Joe D., right?
It's been MANY years since I've seen Trash/Flesh/Heat at the theater or on video. Think I'll use the Netflix free two-week trial to order all three on DVD.
You're right about Dallesandro. I'm a straight guy, but I'll admit he was one sexy near-perfect specimen of male pulchritude. The only dude that comes to mind at the moment who was in the same category of pretty man-hunk is Richard Gere. (I'm sure there are others I'm too tired to think of.)
I see you're a fan of Wonderland. I love that flick ... partly because it was so well acted (especially Kilmer -- "Hi, everybody, I'm John Holmes.") ... partly because Holmes' story is so fascinating ... and partly because I came to L.A. in Feb. '81, and saw so much of that seedy Hollywood-adjacent life. In fact, I have a good friend from college who moved to L.A. and lives on Wonderland Ave., just up the street from where the murders occurred.
Well, to quote (paraphrase?) Clarence in True Romance: "It's nice to meet people with common interests."
Yes, It is very nice to meet people with common interest. It's cool to see that you are a Wonderland fan too. I only post on Wonderland and anything Warhol. Though it's hard to get these Warhol film boards going since it doesn't appear that too many people on the IMDB are interested.
I can acturally do the Feldman voice perfectly but I think that's from having watched those films so many times. It's great laughs for my friends.
You'll have to buy those Warhol films. God knows you can't rent them anywhere.
I don't think it's weird that straight guys might think that other men are attractive looking. After all, I'm a straight woman who thinks a lot of famous women are pretty. Though, I've never been into Richard Gere, but I like him as an actor.
I bet you have a lot of interesting stories to tell, having lived in L.A. in the early 80's. You should share a few sometime. That is one of the things that I find so interesting about Wonderland. For me it's not so much about that crime as it is the culture of 1981. I was only 8 years old in 1981 so I was there but I wasn't there. It's also cool that you know someone that lives on Wonderland Ave.
It's cool that you responded to my post:)
Cheers!
I wish I could remember the names of the books that I had read out of about the Warhol out-takes (obviously because the actors would perform pornographic acts). There must have been several out-takes for people to be writing about them.
I do know that the Warhol out-takes were only available through underground markets. When I had learned that, I started paying more attention to the films. As anyone who knows anything about Warhol films, the film themselves are very choppy, and not well edited.
In watching Trash I can tell with the Andrea Feldman scene (where she didn't want to get *beep* by a junky)That old Joe had really given it to her. It was so obvious but about 8 seconds after that, the film jumps and it goes back to the old riot of her not wanting it.
That gives you something to look for when you watch it again. Though, I only have old VCR tapes of the movies. I don't know what a DVD version would be like. I'm sure it's the same.
Here's a little something.........The Manson Family were regular buyers of the Warhol out-takes. Though I doubt if they got any Trash out-takes being that Trash was made after the infamous murders.
There are so many good quotes from Trash....
Is it acid? Is it acid? Is it acid?!
It's time for a showtime!
I graduated from high school with honours.
You got kicked out from middle school for giving blow jobs in the cafeteria.
Ahh, I was a virgin when I married.
There wasn't a hole on your body that was virginal!
I also like Geri Millers talk about how when the lights come on and the screen go up means her dancing is getting better, and the Danny Devito speech too.
Other great lines:
"Are you one of them biiisexuals?"
"I was born on welfare and I'm gonna die on welfare!"
"And you can't have my f *ckin' shoes!"
I've always liked how Joe Dallessandro murmurs, "Oh yeah?" in a way where you can't tell whether he's the least bit interested in what the other person is saying. In Trash and Heat he does it, and it works for me as a great comical underscoring to whatever the nutty actress of the moment is raving to him about.
"And a Happy New Year to you, George Bailey.... in jail!"
*beep* you! *beep* the both of you! *beep* your dog!" This is the line I remember best and it had me cracking up in the theater!!! It played to a pretty empty house that night; only a dozen or so people. And I was the only who thought it was funny because NO ONE ELSE laughed. Maybe it's only funny when you're 19 years old?
