They're about women as sex-slaves, sexual killers, sexual deviants, transsexuals. Unlike the cold, stupid, callous hardcore pornographic films of today, Wishman's soft-core films are low-budget portraits of odd balls which happen to involve sex. These films were originally shown in art houses and drive-ins. And I can see why. I'm sure all anyone would do while watching, is screw...
...probably not. But the antagonists are, as usual, worlds apart. Players say the owners are stupid, owners say the players are greedy, and both sides are right; they make one pine for simpler days when the owners were greedy and the players were stupid. As for the fans, they feel sympathy for neither side. To them, the conflict has all the profundity of an argument between millionaires over a golf-course bet. Especially now, in the middle of one of the most exciting seasons in memory, what the fans care about is the game. At the moment, they seem...
...Saturday Night Live regulars made the movie bearable and actually pretty funny at times. In one scene Farley rips an earring off a rebel rocker and, well, let's just say the earring was not attached to the metalhead's ear.

...younger viewers, then, Forrest Gump serves as a gentle introduction to the '60s: baptism not by fire but by sound track. And to those who raged, suffered or sinned through that insane decade, the movie offers absolution with a love pat. Whaddaya know? We waged a stupid war that destroyed both another country and the best part of ourselves; we tore up our streets and our psyches in a kind of Cultural Revolution; we practically killed ourselves with drugs -- and it turns out we're not guilty. By allowing us to relive all the evils of recent history through invulnerably...
...Chamber of Commerce inspiration to lure tourists. But when the Hall opened in 1939, it became a secular shrine, the Lourdes of baseball. It still is. The place evokes a simpler time of grace and grit and innocence, when players didn't seem so greedy or owners so stupid and when both sides apparently realized that the franchise they held was on loan from the fans who had invested so much of themselves in it. This vision is partly fantasy -- the sport excluded blacks and kept even its top stars in indentured servitude -- but to a fan, soft-focus reverie...
