Quickshots: El Topo; Jodo? No Bueno!

Here's an apt description of this movie: See the naked young Franciscans whipped with cactus. See the bandit leader disemboweled. See the priest ride into the sunset with a midget and her newborn baby. What it all means isn't exactly clear, but you won't forget it.

I tell you I tried. I really did. As someone who likes creepy, sci-fi, existential, weird, western, and art films, I am right in the target demographic for Jodorowsky. However, I have not been able to make it through a single movie or comic book of his. El Topo, his "masterful" western, is no exception.

Dumping the Saddle Bag all Over Your Screen

Sometimes I post because I read something inspiring.

Sometimes I post because I have something to say.

Sometimes I post because there is a need to express something deep inside of me and I struggle to find a way to get it out.

Sometimes I post because I saved a bunch of funny images to Drop Box and I need to clear up some space.

Saddle Tramp

Haven't seen this one, but take a good look at that first image. That's Hyapatia Lee and Nina Hartley! Two legends. Hyapatia Lee is of Cherokee descent and made an effort to do respectful Native American themed adult films. Not sure if Saddle Tramp counts (although she did write this one as well as star in it), I think she made a better effort in a movie called Snake Dance that I'll post about eventually.

The Good, The Bad, and the Horny 2

I will admit that I have not seen this one. I really want to see the first before I see the sequel so I can fully embrace the story.

Lipps & McCain

Haven't seen it, to the best of my understanding this is a bio-pic of Senator John McCain's family coming to Arizona.

The Legend of Barbi-Q and Little Fawn

I can't even make a joke about this one.

The Diamond Stud

Is this a dirty movie or just a movie from a time when they were dirtier in general? Here's a quote from the IMDB page:

"This film is about the successful "two-bit chiseling son of a bitch" Diamond Jim. He rides his personal rail around the country, smoking cigars and having love affairs."

Calamity Jane

This might be a selection of deleted scenes from Deadwood.

Powder Burns

I have no idea what this is about, but look, guys on horses! Also good to see that the Playboy Bunny look has been around since the 19th century.

The Bone Ranger

From IMDB:

"On Reptilon, a twin planet to Earth, dinosaurs never became extinct, but evolved into two races of highly intelligent space travelers - the Dinosaucers and the Tyrannos. The desperate Dinosaucers have arrived on Earth seeking new energy sources. Tyrannos, however, share nothing and are determined to conquer Earth. It's up to four kids and the Dinosaucers to outmaneuver and outwit the Tyrannos."

That might be a different version of The Bone Ranger.
