COCTEAU WAS COCTEAU BEFORE HE DID DRUGS: LIQUID SKY



I kind of have "bad" taste, though I don't think of it that way. Sometimes my friends scoff at me and say "Sunni, you know, this isn't a good movie/song/outfit/whatever/etx. In fact this is BAD." I love what I consider "good/bad" movies. I wonder sometimes if B-movie stands for BAD-movie. But no one can tell me what to love and I love kitsch, trash, cheese as much as the next stoned Peter-Pan-complex escapist waiting for a Karate Kid moment or John Waters career to happen to them before they turn 35. Gimme Barbarella bustiers, Earth Girls Are Easy mental margaritas with a Miami Connection soundtrack to my life and I'm in heaven.








 









In true B-movie fashion, the film doesn't have many developed characters and via badmovies.org (haha) goes something like this:

  • Margaret - Freaky fashion model. It's her sexual partners that the aliens kill off. Vaporized in the end.
  • Adrian - Another psycho woman and Margaret's lover. She likes to make up songs about everything and they're none to easy on he ears. Dissolved by the aliens.
  • Jimmy - Supposedly a dude (Played by the same girl as Margaret actually.) who hates Margaret. Dissolved by the aliens.
  • Johann - German scientist who has been studying the aliens. Stabbed by Margaret.
  • Sylvia - Jimmy's undersexed mom.
  • Owen - Margaret's old professor who has spent some time in the sack with her. Has a glass pipette stuck through his head.
  • Paul - Heroin addict. Gets the old glass pipette through the head then dissolves.
  • The Aliens - Little guys who look like irritated eyeballs, they feed on heroin and a chemical produced in the human brain during orgasm.

  • Aliens are best represented by something which belongs in an eyedrop ad.
  • Microphones make handy stethoscopes.
  • Philosophy is less convincing when dispensed by a heroin addict.
  • Telescopes are equipped with crosshairs. (Shoot the moon you say?)
  • Some women take pride in being told they dress like a hooker.
  • Junkies often mistake German scientists for police officers.
  • The brain produces a chemical that tastes just like heroin during orgasm.
  • Having your toes stomped doesn't hurt.
  • A dozen people screaming at you to have an orgasm can be distracting.
  • Don't have sex with someone if their partners mysteriously dissolve.
