I was under the impression that this was the general idea of a message board, my dear Annie.

Put another way, isn't the work of Meyer simply the classic example of pornography masquerading under the respectable heading of "art"?

According to the extensive extras on the DVD, the whole intention of BTVOTD was to satirize the way american movies were made, so I guess the moralizing tone of the finale was what they were after. Think Friday 13th: every character that sins/has sex has to die. But let's not forget the most important thing here -- Meyer is not preaching morals in his films, he is deconstructing our pre-conceived notions of what is wrong or right. He always commented about society in general using satire and that's why his films always worked on two main levels: intelectually and visually (estimulating both to varying degrees... ).Michael wrote:I finally saw Beyond the Valley of the Dolls this morning. Since this is my first Russ Meyer experience, I have a question about the whole "moralizing" finale. Is that typical of Russ Meyers films?
Yeah, me too. However, I've seen it on Ebay for $125 plus like $40 to ship. Anyone know where to get it cheaper? Or the cheapest place to get the individual discs?Myra Breckinridge wrote:You could always wait a few months and get it cheaper.

Thank you manicsounds, I assume that the quasi-complete collection is divived into those 3-goodlooking box sets?manicsounds wrote:There are a few boxes that are way overpriced....
I would imagine they are cut since Meyer was not afraid to show pubic hair.Westwood wrote:Thank you manicsounds, I assume that the quasi-complete collection is divived into those 3-goodlooking box sets?manicsounds wrote:There are a few boxes that are way overpriced....
Unbelievably overpriced lol! Are they in pristine and uncut conditions at least?
At first I had a good laugh, then I realized you might mean that showing pubic hair in Japan is a total no-no and so these would probably be cut?zombeaner wrote:I would imagine they are cut since Meyer was not afraid to show pubic hair.Westwood wrote:Thank you manicsounds, I assume that the quasi-complete collection is divived into those 3-goodlooking box sets?manicsounds wrote:There are a few boxes that are way overpriced....
