I just had the pleasure of viewing "The Notorious Betty Page". I know this film has been mentioned before, but I have to say what a sweet little flic it was.
 
Its about the life of Betty Page and how she got involved in doing Bondage photos. There are also a couple of documentary style vids out there too that really aren't worth the rentals.

Ohhh Miss Cati brilliant I am looking forward to seeing it just to drool over the costumes if nothing else. I only wish they had Dita play her .

Anyhooo I am going to enquire today when its out here.

Thank You for the reminder :rose:

Dita would definitely have done her justice as well. The actress Gretchen Moll plays Betty in this one.

Awww cutie don't ya just hate when that happens?


I took the movie back today, explained the problem, and asked for another copy.

Clerk #1: "We're so sorry- we were only sent one copy of that DVD."

Me: "You must be joking. It's an award winning art film."

Clerk #2: "What movie?" (looks over the shoulder of clerk #1) "Oh crap I really wanted to see that! I have this HUGE poster of Betty Page at home; damn she's hot!"

Me: "You should- it's a great movie... at least it is up until chapter 7, when the DVD quit. Can't you get another copy?"

Clerk #1: "No m'am, but we can give you credit to rent anything else in the store today." (looks at clerk #2) "Who is Betty Page?"

Clerk #2: (glances at me) "Ummm... Uhh... She was uhh sort of like Marilyn Monroe- you know a model."

Me: (sigh) " Betty Page was a pin up model from the 40s and 50s, who ended up specializing in fetish and BDSM films and stills, and was persecuted during hearings to promote decency in film/art during the 50s. She has a huge cult following, and the movie is a docu-drama of her life."

At this point both of them got very uncomfortable, apologized for the DVD not working, and suggested I look for a different movie. :rolleyes:

I have neither the energy, nor room in my budget, to go hunting for the movie elsewhere, so I'll probably just add it to my "purchase at some point" list. :(

Our DVD player, is old. Someone gave it to us because they were going to get a newer better one. It often can't play DVD's correctly. My husband's new computer can. I think we need a new DVD player and they don't cost that much these days but in the meantime I feel the computer into the tv.

We watched Ginger Snaps last night. It was MUCH better than I expected. Werewolf movies generally suck ass. This one had a lot of humor and gore! Bonus!!!

Interesting. I saw the trailer online and thought it looked pretty good. Will have to see if the local rental place has a copy.
