[@luckystriker842]

6:39 See, a decent fucking rewrite of this scene and it's entirely correct. Institutions, when confronted with allegations of sexual harassment and assault, tend to work to protect their own and often discredit an accuser. So, the mother not calling the cops when Jerilee gets raped makes sense while keeping Jerilee free to pursue her screenwriter career. It's just so awkwardly written that it comes out completely wrong!

[@mrmonty86]

Hollywood has been protecting their stars for years, but once #metoo came on the scene, they either threw their actors under the bus or use fixers in extreme ways to keep their hands clean.

[@nathanclark2424]

I think I know why rape is often considered worse than murder. Rape is pretty much torture, murder doesn't necessarily involve torture

[@gracekim1998]

[@shanta824]

true but the movie is still bad😒👀

[@bombabombom3603]

+Gracekim1 The "trusted" big shot Hollywood producer who kickstarted the recent exposure of the disgusting pieces of shit in the entertainment industry who're finally paying for their self-defamatory actions of sexual offences. Turns out the smoking gun for him is trying to get some woman to watch him take a bath for money. You want real sleazy bullshit, check out the stuff surrounding Kevin Spacey, exposing others and having claims on himself.

[@MissSallyB1]

in all honesty, if this flick had ended the way the original book did, perhaps time would've been kinder.(to wit, after Jerilee makes a longer speech about all the people she had to sleep with to get the movie made and about how women are treated as tokens in Hollywood, she drops her dress to reveal an Oscar statue painted upside down on her naked body. SOCIAL COMMENTARY!)

[@rogercase6205]

She delivered on the acceptance speech! Pia was charismatic and ... Zadorable, but even Faye Dunaway couldn't have done much with this material and direction.

[@kevinpogue7294]

If she had thrown her husband into outer space, that would have made the movie awesome!

I agree and he deserved having that happen to him after he mocked her for being sexually assaulted with a hose.

[@AdamTheFeverish]

Yes! This episode was one of my favorites. Glad to see it re-upped!

[@JoeyJ0J0]

#MeToo the movie, Hollywood is a rough place :/ Poor Jerrilee

[@lauramaue]

Y'know, this movie might have been okay if it weren't for the godawful soundtrack, the forced melodrama, the gratuitous sex scenes, and several characters coming off as thin, cartoonish villains. It would've worked so much better if the film gave us some insight into the cultural biases that made them think this way, and how even though they benefit from the Hollywood system, their refusal to break this unnatural, toxic cycle traps them further inside it (sort of like an addiction). I could absolutely see The Lonely Lady being remade today, with more of a "Big Eyes" or "I, Tonya"-ish vibe. It'd be painfully relevant in the MeToo era, that's for sure.

[@redvelvetunderground]

Laura Maue it would certainly be better if it was written by an actual woman as well, someone who would have genuine experience as a female screenwriter in Hollywood rather than two dudes who seem to have uhh...some issues to work out

[@lauramaue]

YES, absolutely. And maybe a female director would help it lose some of the unnecessarily porny aspects. You can *imply* sex, y'know? No need to show the audience every detail; we're not stupid.

[@redvelvetunderground]

Laura Maue agree, if anything the existence of this movie highlights what's wrong with how women are treated in Hollywood as characters in stories as well, I feel like if actual women worked on this film there definitely wouldn't be a goddamn hose rape scene, and if there WAS it would be treated with a lot more gravitas rather than some cheap drama that's never brought up again except as another way to force more cheap drama between two characters That's honestly what pisses me off about when men write women...they just can't resist using rape or sexual violence against their female characters as cheap and easy melodrama... there's surely a way to have hardship and struggle befall them without having to use sexual violence

[@lauramaue]

You'd think trying to make it as a female screenwriter is a great enough struggle in itself, but...nope! Hose rape is essential! /s

[@lauramaue]

I mean, just because it's in the book doesn't mean it needs to be in the movie. Tom Bombadil was in the original Lord of the Rings novels, but we all know how that turned out for the film trilogy.

[@kayhawkins9761]

How was Mommy Dearest worse than this? I mean Mommy Dearest (true or not) at least had a story, 3 act structure and some amazing scenes of acting. Also the movie was watchable. This movie seemed to have clip scenes made little sense and when she tried to make a point seemed pointless and emotionless. Like when he showed her the garden hose she looks at it like 'Oh right thats a thing in this movie' This is one review where the movie wa so boring I wanted to stop the video thinking 'OMG is Brad really funny enough to make this review not a waste of my time?' (I did finish watching it).

[@1997residente]

Mommie dearest was so bad it was funny..This one is ....Manos the hands of fate-Body of evidence-Ghost can't do it-Freddy got fingered kinda bad

I would actually maintain that Bolero is worse than either Mommie Dearest or this. For all of the faults with The Lonely Lady, at least, unlike Bolero, all of the nudity in this movie was done by consenting adults

Pia Zadora also did 1981's Butterfly, 1984's Voyage Of The Rock Aliens and had a brief cameo in the original 1988 Hairspray. Her acting career fizzled out after a while but she also had a singing career which she actually wasn't too bad at!

Because of how that filming scene where they added “WHY!?” went, I now live under the theory that the original version of Revenge of the Sith was going to have Darth Vader fall to his knees and bury his masked face in his hands implying that he was about to break down sobbing when he finds out that Padmé died, but this lady convinced George Lucas that it would be more powerful if Darth Vader bellowed out a prolonged “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.” 🙃

[@ariellakahan-harth8831]

This film is scarily relevant. I can see a film with this concept working, albeit with a female screenwriter and better... everything.

[@graemesmith6721]

I picked up a Harold Robbins novel while I was waiting in the checkout line a supermarket once and opened it to a random page. It was a graphic description of a penis ejaculating. So I'm not overly surprised by this movie's obsession with sex. I have to say, Lloyd Bochner is much better than this movie deserves, and yet in the scene where he and Pia Zadora first kiss, he looks like he'd rather be doing almost anything else. It's also funny that a sleazefest like this, based on a novel written by a man and with two male screenwriters (though it was adapted by a woman), tries to pass itself off as a female empowerment movie, even though the heroine is raped and abused by men constantly. And of course there's a lesbian scene to provide cheap titillation.

[@AdmiralBison]

This movie reminds me of the exploitation movie ‘Showgirls’ and its exposition of Las Vegas adult show business, but instead on Hollywood in the 1970s.

[@laurettelaliberte8864]

Pia Zadora is who people always told me I looked like in the 80s, and this is the first time I've heard of any of her movies. lol I do remember she had a song back then.

I doubt the late Ray Liotta was fond of appearing in this movie--but we all have to start somewhere, don't we? I feel sorry for Lloyd Bochner (and Liotta, as well) for getting roped into doing this piece of shit (Pia Zadora isn't fond of this, either, IIRC). This film could have resonated today, but it is so over the top and badly written that it can't be taken seriously, IMO...
