2:04pm WM:

Now I remember... Stanley Kauffmann, long time film critic for The New Republic, wrote a very complimentary review of Payday when it first came out in 1973. Kauffmann could be a tough critic, but he had a knack for picking out overlooked, under-publicized films. Of Rip Torn's performance he writes "Torn's singer is an aging professional Tom Sawyer now hip, hopped up, and horny."

2:07pm Melissa Jean:

2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

2:18pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Lapel button, fridge magnet, bumper sticker, custom cover for your bongos, I could see snotty beatnik branded espresso cups, for the carriage trade.

2:22pm Sylvia's Mother:

Speaking of elevator operators, one of the best Fred Willard lines was him on "Fernwood 2night," seeing a chick in tight pants, ask "How do you get into those pants?"

2:25pm amira:
