“If I have a semi-erection and my shorts are getting moist, then I know I’m doing something right.” Russ Meyer

“Russ Meyer is the Eisenstein of sex films. He is single-handedly responsible for more hard-ons in movie audiences than any other director, despite the fact that he has refused to ever make a hardcore feature … He writes, produces, directs, films and edits his own productions and they all make money. Russ Meyer has never made a bad film.”

/ Sultan of Sleaze John Waters waxing lyrical about one of his primary cinematic influences, Russ Meyer, in his book Shock Value (1981) /

Born on this day 102 years ago: visionary breast-fixated high potentate of sexploitation cinema Russ Meyer (21 March 1922 - 18 September 2004). Pictured: Meyer with glamazonian starlet Edy Williams, best remembered for her performance as the predatory, sexually insatiable Ashley St Ives in Meyer’s Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970). The two were stormily married between 1970 and 1975. “We were an extraordinary couple,” Meyer would recall. “A sex bomb with an old pornographer.”The 2005 book Big Bosoms and Square Jaws: The Biography of Russ Meyer by Jimmy McDonough is compulsory reading.

I've mentioned my love of this kind of movie before, but I really love ultra-violent exploitation movies from the 60s and 70s. I have a special love for bombastically violent B-movies with female leads. Anyway here are some of my favorites exploitation heroines.

Meiko Kaji, seen here as the titular Lady Snowblood (1973). She was an icon of cold blooded violence, and a huge (though often unknown) influence on the future of action, horror, and drama cinema both in Japan and abroad.

Tura Satana, Barbarella "Haji" Catton, and Lori Williams, seen here on the set of "Faster Pussycat! Kill, kill!" (1965). I've talked about this movie before, I love it. The absolutely shameless exploitation of attention-grabbing violence and sex appeal in this movie are unmatched.

Pam Grier as Foxy Brown (1974). I love her work in pulpy action cinema, the use of violence as a part of a motif that feels fun, stylish, and gritty at the same time in that era was unique and just can't be replicated.

Barbara Hershey as the titular Boxcar Bertha (1972). She's iconic as a grimy gangster in rural 1930s America. This movie has so much unqiue flavor and I love Barbera Hershey's performance as a dainty innocent girl on the outside hiding her true nature as a violent gangster.

Anyway I love grimy ass B movies from the 1960s/70s. The unapologetic subversiveness of their creators always fascinated me as much as the content itself. They are hugely influential on me.

this shit's on Mubi right now and it fucking rocks. silly and sleazy but with great characters, surprisingly complex gangland politics and even some pro-Communist vibes. it's a '70s grindhouse movie though so of course CW for SA and use of slurs

(I can't find who illustrated this kickass poster either so any leads on the original artist would be awesome)

Just relistened to one of the MK Ultra episodes of @ChilluminatiPod while doing the laundry and thought about what an uplifting movie night these would deliver. 😵
