man, that 1984 Summer Olympics logo was so hotttttttt!!

(on Traci Lords’ smoking body!!!!!!)

the year was 1984, and Tom Hanks wasn’t the Tom Hanks yet, he was 80s Tom Hanks, and he starred in a silly sassy movies like Bachelor Party 

Not exactly sure when or how I first saw Bachelor Party, but I’m assuming it was on HBO (endlessly), and I saw it at home at age 7 or so, with my parents blissfully unaware

Well, in the opening credits of Bachelor Party – there was a pair of boobs that I fell in love with, and I’m sure you did too.  They were perfectly round and perfectly perfect, and the camera loved them.  So did Tom Hanks and Adrian Zmed’s sleazy department store photographer.  It was actually a very uncomfortable scene to watch, but those boobs were juss too eye and thigh-catching to ignore

if you don’t remember the scene, you can watch it here 

somehow, I thought of these boobs recently, and decided to investigate whose boobs they were

turns out, they belonged to a woman named Angela Aames

and turns out, she died 4 years after Bachelor Party was released at age 32 :(

so sad, but she and her heavenly boobs live on, 9ever

thanks for the mammaries

dude, you all know that Saul Bass was the fcuking man, herspecially when it came to movie posters, title sequences, and logo design, but did you know that he also dabbled in filmmaking???  he released one full length feature that bombed, and 5 shorts, one an Oscar winner – Why Man Creates [WATCH!], and two others that were nominated by the Academy as well!

I was lucky enuff to catch a rare screening of 4 of them shorts, thanks to Lincoln Center, and in particular his little seen/known short from 1984 - Quest (it doesn’t even have a wiki page!).  Shiz was based off of a Ray Bradbury short story, and was about a society of people stuck on some planet where they live their entire life over a span of 8 days, but are trying to live longer than that(!!!).  Shiz was truly incredible, both visually and emotionally!  It was like watching The Neverending Story meets Tron meeting Return of The Jedi meets that 1984 Apple commercial meets like a zillion of those creepy cool 70s/80s sci-fi book covers!!

SAUL FCUKING BASS + BAD FUTURE = MY TOTAL JAMMY JAM, YO!!!

HOW DO I GO TO THERE???
