You saw that Notorious Bettie Page movie, right?????  If you wanted to see Gretchen Mol gloriously topless in a gloriously filmed ‘art’ movie you most certainly did!!!  That movie was purty dang good, but we felt it to be rather incomplete –  wondering ‘whatever became of her, post-pin-up daze’???  Yeah, WHAT HAPPENED TO BETTIE PAGE AFTER SHE WENT FROM PIN-UP QUEEN TO WOMAN IN HIDING QUEEN?????  Well, for those thirsting for that ‘what’ (ME! ME! ME! ME!), Mark Mori‘s doc delivers the answers, in spades AND boobs, and in Bettie Page‘s own words/voice!!!!!  Sadly, the doc itself looks like it was edited by a 6 year old film student using a Commodore 64, but slipshoddiness aside, if you have ANY interest in Bettie or her boops OR boobs, you GOTS to give in and check out Bettie Page Reveals All, for all is revealed, just like the title sez!!!!

Dallas Buyers Club
Membership Has It’s Privileges – Avoiding Death
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
R | 117 min

Ron Woodroof was a real man, with a real mustache.  He did chicks & drugs, drank an a$$load, and was a rodeo hard rider – a true Dallas cowboy.  But how can a cowboy avoid being negative by being HIV positive?  Woodroof contracted the disease in 1985, when a diagnosis of such basically = death, but he refused his death sentence.  No cure exists, and barely any treatments did back then, but Woodroof took the bull by the horns on his own, and tried to get better, by any means possible – barely legal and beyond illegal.  When America and the FDA provided no answers or help, Woodfroof sought out his own treatment south of the border, and headed back up north with a trunkload of supplies to help himself and others.  He formed a club, where a paid membership came with free drugs.  It’s like Robin Hood with AIDS drugs, for a profit, where no one really wins!

Based off of Dallas Morning News‘ Bill Minutaglio’s 1992 article, Jean-Marc Vallée‘s Dallas Buyers Club chronicles Woodroof’s struggle with being a straight man contracting such a ‘gay’ disease, and how he fought it at every turn.  Matthew McConaughey plays Woodroof, inside and outside – from the twang, the stache, down to the being as skinny as humanly possibles, which is basically a skeleton with 1 cm of skin.  WOAH.  And McConaughey plays the living SH!T outta this character.  He usually does of any character, but we sometimes forget this, cause sometimes he’s starring in garbage romantic comedies with Goldie Hawn’s daughter.  Joining him on the ‘fun’ are a sympathetic nurse, blaaaaaaaaaah-ly played by the always blah Jennifer Garner, and Jared Leto as a transsexual club employee AND member, that you won’t soon un-re-member.  Also, there are about 3 other actors with awesome MUST-staches that are a MUST see in their own right!
