The Legend of the Wolf Woman (a.k.a. Werewolf Woman)
I’ve been doing a writeup for the version of Stephen King’s The Shining that was actually filmed at the Stanley Hotel. It’s just not ready yet. So I pulled The Legend of the Wolf Woman out of the deep backlog for a quickie. It’s a film that was banned in a number of countries. In fact it is still on some naughty lists. At one point, Quentin Tarantino showed The Legend of the Wolf Woman sight unseen at one of his film festivals and was so delighted that he created a category called “The Wolf Woman” selection, where he would always show some seldom seen piece of sleaze. Is that enough buildup? Also in case you had any doubts, this is NSFW, even for me.
So what is it about? Tired, lazy R.J. is not even going to read reviews this time, I am just going to pull straight from IMDB’s selection, courtesy Josh Pasnak <chainsaw@intouch.bc.ca>:
A woman has dreams that she is a werewolf so she goes out and finds men. She proceeds to have sex with them and then rip their throats out with her teeth. She eventually falls in love but then she is raped and her lover is murdered so she goes out for revenge…
…And hilarity ensues! Seriously, this film is infamous, and to find what looks like an unedited copy on Tubi is wonderful. My commentary will be light tonight, it has been super busy. Apparently this is a copy from Shriek Show, which although unedited length-wise, the aspect ratio was shrunk so you may have lost some precious seconds of nudity on the margins. And we all know how important nudity is to this sausage party.
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! Besides, this is so NSFW it might make even a Glib blush. Or fog up some glasses. Next week I do hope things slow down for me personally, and I can resume putting together quality posts and maybe even a backlog of movies. It’s been difficult on the work front, to say the least. I am hoping for a resolution soon. I do anticipate Stephen King’s The Shining will be written up by then.
Bonus Sleaze!
This was brought to my attention by one of you fine autists, I apologize in advance for not writing down your name. It is a collection of anti-drug short films and commercials which should bring you all joy. Drug Stories.
“This was brought to my attention by one of you fine autists”
I’m not smart enough to be autistic.
I’ve only seen the Kubrick shining. The director’s cut of Doctor Sleep is good too.
Looks like the English subtitles were written by someone who didn’t speak English.
…by one of you fine autists…
I read that as artists. We have several.
The Shining, for me, is one of the few books by King that holds up.
As far as movies go… also the Shining, and The Dead Zone.
Never read any of his books, but Brian de Palma’s Carrie is very good.
Early King, as well as his books released under the name Bachman, are the best of the bunch, in my opinion.
The novel he forgets writing, no? 🍻
Once King put down the booger-sugar and got clean from coke his writing sucked.
Yeah I said it.
Once Bob Dylan found Jesus his songs started to suck.
Once Cat Stevens found Mohammed his songs started to suck.
Once John Lennon found Yoko Ohh No! his songs started to suck.
Those two, and I would add Misery and Dolores Claiborne. He’s not a great writer but has some great ideas, and the good fortune to have some talented people make very good movies out of them.
I forgot Misery was Stephen King.
I love the original Running Man.
“Dolores Claiborne has been cited as a “self-consciously feminist” film that “combines the melodramatic impulse with the investigative structure of a noir crime thriller and a contemporary feminist consciousness.”The film has also been read as an example of a maternal melodrama that features an “idealized mother-figure” who sacrifices the needs of her own for others. In the book Screening Genders, one scholar considered Dolores Claiborne and Stage Door (1937) to be the only “truly feminist” films made in Hollywood, in that they “don’t cop out at the end.”
I’m not sure what a feminist film would be. A strong woman? “Alien” knocks. I do know I don’t care.
🙄
The heroine(s) do the needful. Fuck politics.
I love the original Running Man.
With Laurence Harvey?
Been playing Sequence on the new board. Wife won this last round.

No idea what that game is but it looks amazing.
Look up “Sequence Game”
It’s a great party game. You make a line of five by playing one card a turn.
From the sidebar: Tulpa (Perdizioni Mortali)
RJ, you are a Tulpa. Have you watched this one?
Good catch! Here is the IMDB on that one. Almost mandatory viewing! I will add it to the post list and try to do a scan through to ensure it meets this group’s “high standards.”
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2250282
Demon of Desire? Sounds naughty. I wish it starred Linnea Quigley.
I’ve played it, it’s not bad, but it suffers from the same flaw that most ‘draw a card’ type games do – while there is some strategy it almost always comes down to luck.
Pretty much life then?
Huh. This looks like it has potential, but I won’t get to it until tomorrow night. Thanks RJ!
Im enjoying the time machine of Chuck Norris jokes. Although, hope that the dude is okay cause he is more America than Abe Lincoln.
Me too.
My favorite was always, When CN is doing pushups he’s pushing the earth down.
Did you here Chuck Norris got pulled over by the police? It’s ok, he let the officer off with a warning.
hear, not here dammit!
I hope he doesn’t take on death because a world without death would be trouble.
Pangolin rape? Does she get covid?
Listen, I know we are a bunch of libertarians, but we’re all going to ignore the pangolin rape?
Wut?!
I know she’s a werewolfwoman, and supposed to be hirsute, but armpit hair is gross.
Very Italian.
The tricorns are very stylish. Ever thought of wearing one?
They are. Most hats make me look like a dork. I tried ballcaps before I settled on fezzes.
The fez suits you.
The subtitles have enough malapropisms to be funny.
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I’m hungry like the wolf
Nice. Speaking of Duran Duran, has anyone heard from K.K.?
That one and Rio were just insanely great that year. 1982… I guess I was 13. Very influential on my taste buds.
She announced she had completed her first week (half week?) of the new job a couple days back.
That’s wonderful. I was hoping she would start work soon last we talked.
That was a popular one in our cover band in Korea. I’d never knowingly heard it before. (born 1987) I’m glad I know it now and I could easily drum it out again.
I love how OG docs always have a tray of booze in their office.
You could smoke in the waiting room.
And while being examined.
After getting his prostate checked, a fella needs a cigarette.
@ Aloysious – I once read a “Letters to Penthouse” about a prostate exam that had a happy ending. I thought a prostate exam sounded good after that as I was quite young at the time. My opinion has since changed on the matter.

I can’t not hear this in Booger’s voice.
Local Fox affiliate has a story about Ken Paxton stiking down a 2001 ruling from John Cornyn when he was AG. Basically, Texas is now going to require a social security number to obtain professional licensure such as electricians and hairdressers. In the same article, they manage to say that currently only 2% of licenses don’t have an affiliated ssn, but also, nearly half of the trades are going to be unable to get licensed. So which is it 2% or 50%?
I’m almost offended that my profession does not require a “state license”. 🙄
*makes a wanking motion*
Can you do the job or not? Fuck off with this “state license” shit.
The state is a poor adjucator of whether you are proficient or not. Your employer is better at determining that.
I have met with MANY state/county/city inspectors who were dumb as a box of rocks.
The state/county/city is corrupt. It is designed to be corrupt.
Occupational licensing is retarded and gay.
Ugh it’s not for lack of trying from some of the stupider (read: younger) quarters of my profession. E.g. efforts to “unionize” programmers.
Another reason I am cheerfully accepting my slide into near retirement.
Here here pised off Nick.
Speaking of movies that couldn’t be made today: “Believing herself cured of her mental illness, Daniella spends a happy month with Luca and is able to have a seemingly stable sexual relationship with him. This ends after another person living in the same movie set breaks into Luca’s home with two of his friends and take turns violently raping Daniella.”
But she goes off on a revenge-spree, so it’s all good. Oddly, the lead is one of few who don’t have their own wiki page.
Thanks for these, RJ.
“It is a collection of anti-drug short films and commercials which should bring you all joy. Drug Stories.”
If shit is real, it’s awesome.
Kids need angsty music. I haven’t heard any modern music have angst or raw emotion since maybe 2000?
Post-2000 angst.
There was good shit in the early 2000s. The lo-fi rock scene. White Stripes, (early) Arcade Fire, Queens of the Stone Age, Black Keys, and plenty more. I’d say early Jack White did, but I agree with modern music purposefully lacking angst and soul.
Full disclosure: I don’t listen to new music. I’m a musician and I love it, but I never have time/ space to dive in. (It’s complicated.)
Angsty though? I mean…really letting out emotions?
Further angst.

I mean, everyone is mentioning the war…meme fail. Also, unless you are 45ish and above, no one is gonna get that great reference.
Trump dive bombed right into the reporter pool.
I’m 45ish and above and I don’t get the reference.
I know there’s a “don’t mention the war” reference in Fawlty Towers, but I don’t think this is that.
I don’t get the reference either.
I believe that is it. It’s referencing Trump’s Pearl Harbor comment.
Happy first day of spring.

And it’s a Friday!
First Day of Spring
Verily it is
Good morning, Sean, Teh Hype, Ted’S., ChipP, and homey!
Morning. Is it too soon to ask how the plants are doing?
How about 🐱👤😺🎸?
I was wondering if it was warm enough to set up Tranquility Base yet.
Good morning, U! The plant I’m most worried about is Baby Groot the Magnolia. It budded too soon, and then we had a cold spell. The buds that were furthest along are now looking pretty brown. It remains to be seen whether we get any more that will actually bloom. (The coleus has been “wintering” in my office at work, but I hope to be able to bring it home next week and put its pot back in the hollow stump in the front yard. It keeps dropping little flowers and leaves all over my file cabinet and credenza.) All the mammals are okay.
It only just got warm again yesterday, so it’s too soon to tell if it’s “safe” to set up the futon chaise on Tranq Base. The next couple of days are forecast to be warm, but Monday it’s predicted to get chilly again. 😞
How are you two gentlemen today?
I think I’m coming down with something.
Oh no! I hope you’re mistaken! 😟
🤞
Not coming down

Enough with the jokes.
That outfit turned to garbage during the aughts.
Yeah, sure Jan. 🙄
Apparently the Japanese get the vernal equinox as a public holiday.
We get the solstices (or close enough) as holidays – Christmas and Independence Day. The equinoxes, though, nothing on the calendar really lands anywhere close to them.
They’re Working Holidays.
Make St Patrick’s Day a federal holiday!
Shintoism FTW!
