TV SNIDE COVER-No 2

TV SNIDE COVER-No 2 by Tina & Joe Via Flickr: My Mom used to say, "I can't stand that Star Track sh*t! Can't you put something good on?" Based on my favorite episode of The Outer Limits which was written by Harlan Ellison and ripped off by James Cameron for The Terminator. Of course, Ellison ripped off Frederik Pohl's Target One, but I guess Pohl wasn't as litigious as Ellison.

Put On Your Raincoats | A Coming of Angels: The Sequel (Williams & Guido, 1985)
Tumblr media
So, the reason I watched this is that I’d believe that it was actually directed by Maria Lease, whose filmography has yielded some pleasant surprises as I’ve been exploring it this year. I see now that the Letterboxd page no longer shows her as a director, and I suspect she’d been mistakenly credited earlier as the film shows little of her signature.  And should you still doubt my auteurist motivations, I’ll have you know that not only did I not watch the first movie beforehand, but I have zero direct experience with the Charlie’s Angels TV show on which this is based. So I cannot attest to how it compares to its inspiration.
From what I gather, of the Angels, Annette Haven is the only returning member from the first movie, which I guess makes her the Jaclyn Smith of this series. She’s joined by Ginger Lynn and Kelly Nichols, who among other things, get it on with each other, and while I must reiterate that I haven’t seen a single episode of Charlie’s Angels, I’d wager that Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts never got it on with each other. For it would have been Too Hot For TV. Also they were in different seasons, if the Wikipedia article isn’t lying to me. So it would have been impossible, unless one of them made a guest appearance. Surprisingly you don’t get Rhonda Jo Petty or Nancy Suiter in this, as they were initially promoted based on their resemblances to Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Ladd, respectively, but as the tactic invited a lawsuit in the latter’s case, I can understand why the filmmakers decided against it.
Anyway, what I’m getting at, aside from reading the Charlie’s Angels Wikipedia page, is that a lot of your favourites are here. I was pretty happy to see Colleen Brennan, she of the impressively toothy smile, who gets the best line in the movie.
"Young lady, if you're any kind of investigator, you can see that I'm quite drunk. And if you talk to my husband, the distinguished senator, you know that I'm frequently quite drunk. And furthermore, if you had been married to that chromium-plated son of a bitch as long as I have, you too would probably be frequently quite drunk."
Alas, she’s not in it nearly enough, for if it were up to me, this would be wall-to-wall Colleen Brennan scenes, or anytime she’s not on screen, the other characters ask, “Where’s Colleen Brennan?” But yeah, if you like any of the performers, you should have a decent time. As a porno thriller, it’s pretty whatever, and it must be said that the Angels are pretty bad at their jobs based on the ending. But there are nice bits of style throughout, like a shot where Eric Edwards picks up and moves Ginger Lynn from one room to the next while the camera pans like a pornographic sidescroller.

Joseph Williams playing air-violin in the music video for Wilma Fingadoux (2021)
“’Wilma Fingadoux’ is the latest in a long line of musical messages, songs and poems to my mother who died at the age of 41. I was 13 years old. This song is a reflection of the painful yet wonderful place in my memory where I can speak to her. Also singing with me are my daughters Hannah Ruick and Ray Williams. Their voices, their presence, makes me so proud of my beautiful girls and their unparalleled talent. And I feel relief also because in this way they too can speak to her through music the way I always have. My mom had such a sharp sense of humor. The title of the song is the punch line of one of my favorite jokes she used to tell…she taught me how to feel funny deep inside! This lyric is my release letter. Miss you Momma! Xojoe.” (via the official Toto website)

Shocking that when you focus on quality and give the story to actual writers they can successfully cement a character, give you her entire backstory, make you fall in love with her and make you cry when they kill her off, all in a span of 30mins.
