I didn’t get a chance to see MACHETE yet, but after reading this fantastic review on some Christian movie guide site, I think I have to, twice. According to them: it’s pro-Communist, anti-Christian, likely to spawn a real-life revolution and second only to Lars von Trier’s Antichrist as a lightning rod for God’s wrath. Sorry Ebert, this is my new guide to the movies.
"It's very short notice. There's my pussy to consider."
Brought to you by: Mrs. Betty Slocombe
What a perverted old woman. Thanks to my parents TV programming I was forced to watch Are You Being Served for a good part of my life. It was actually very funny at times thanks to this lady and her double entendres. Mrs. Slocombe has two main gags: first off, as a cat lover, she consistently talks about Tiddles, her bundle of fluff, but this causes quite a few problems in that Betty insists on referring to her cat as her pussy. Played by actress Mollie Sugden (sadly passed away this year), her mannerisms, facial expressions, and her accent which shifts from upper-class to Scouse at random, all make Mrs. Slocombe one of the most ludicrously funny characters on television. Best of after the jump.
