James Spader in Mannequin (1987)

[lesbiangummybearmafia]

One of best 80s movies, with one of the best casts!

corky & fats.

Loved this movie. Kim Cattrall was unbelievably gorgeous, but Mesach Taylor stole the show as the over-the-top effeminate character 'Hollywood'.

When Mannequin was originally released in 1987, the critics were not kind. In fact, they were pretty savage in their near-unanimous hatred for the film. That didn't stop it from being a modest box-office hit, though -- and in the decades that followed, it managed to pick up new fans, some drawn to the film's romance, some drawn to the film's stars (Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, and James Spader), and some who subscribe to the "so bad it's good" school of cult cinema. At a fans event, McCarthy said realized he wouldn't be getting an Oscar nomination for Mannequin, but he wound up loving the experience nonetheless.

Mannequin is currently streaming on Max and available on DVD, Blu-Ray, and most digital platforms.

like the motogp unlimited moment where joan is kinda terrified of him and marc looks like he's trying to figure out whether he can muster the energy to eat him

😂😂😂😂😂😂

This one is going to carry me through the day. Picturing cat marc contemplating with his tail swishing if he wants to raise his paw and squish this thing or go back to nap.

(extremely belated follow up to this)

referring to this clip from motogp unlimited, on the off chance anyone hasn't seen that masterpiece yet - in which we get to see mir on camera criticising marc for his towing addiction, mir panicking about the media reporting how he criticised marc for his towing addiction, and then mir telling first the honda guys and then marc himself how the media had made up that he had criticised marc for his towing addiction

say what you will about that show, but this clip is just absolute perfection. it has been living rent free in my head from the first time I saw it. the editing is on point... how it completely stitches up joan with the juxtaposition between him literally criticising marc and him insisting he totally hadn't been criticising marc... the way it cuts to a random clip of marc entering a building with the air of a trigger happy warlord, as if he's about to order joan's execution... joan talking to the honda guy - the "you'd better say to his face" line, mir visibly deeply unhappy at this response... hard cut to mir's tremulous explanation to marc. mir's gaze wandering somewhere bottom right while marc is serving full cannibal realness and is staring right at mir with a wide grin and dead eyes. the painfully obvious relief on mir's face when marc accepts his explanation. if you told me marc was sky high on painkillers during this whole conversation, I would not question it for a moment

this is not a grin I would want levelled at me. it's the kind of grin where I'd start worrying if I might find myself chopped up in pieces in the other guy's freezer in the immediate future. at this point in his life and his career, marc had bigger things to worry about than being criticised for something he had been repeatedly criticised for already and would be criticised for again countless times. this whole episode does matter in the vague sense that mir was the defending world champion who had replaced marc, but realistically it's just not the sort of thing marc will have spent more than two minutes thinking about. which was really mir's best hope - that marc simply could not be bothered to make space in the freezer for him

I compared this moment in the mind games post to casey suffering a mild case of headloss because he thought valentino had deliberately hidden his tyre compound from the competition (bridgestone had run out of paint) - and there is something to how your reputation for mind games can become so strong that eventually you don't really have to be doing any work because your competition will freak anyway. marc isn't actually doing anything in this clip... he's just vibing. admittedly he's doing so in that uncanny valley ever so slightly inhuman way he has about him, like he's currently hashing out the logistics of sauteing your liver, but he is just vibing

For real, bring back whatever the 80s had going on with movies (without forcibly bringing back/rebooting 80s movies), like just earnestly genuinely tell me the most ridiculous plot you can and let me be taken on a real journey with it, tell me that delorean is a time machine, tell me there’s treasure hidden on a pirate ship under this town, tell me we’re busting ghosts in NY with particle accelerators strapped to our backs, and we’re grabbing Abe Lincoln and Napoleon and Socrates to party with us so we pass our history class, tell me we’re hunting down vampires because they’re just chilling in California this whole time, tell me that department store mannequin has a curse on it that brings it to life and only one guy can see it and starts dating it, and tell me that Geena Davis is falling in love with the blue fuzzy alien Jeff Goldblum she gave a makeover to after he crash landed in her swimming pool, ate her sofa cushion like it was popcorn, and wooed her with the English phrases he learned solely from watching television, and etc etc, tell me that all with a straight face and own it
