One of my favorite directors of all time and lover of HUGE boobs died today. I hope there's a fleet of big breasted honeys waiting for him up there! RIP Russ. Full Story Stacey
Oh man that sucks, he was the man, a man's man, a tits and ass loving fool, a man that real men should aspire to be. I was at a screening of "Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill" and he did a Q and A afterwards. I asked him why he had mostly European cars in his movies and if he had a favorite American sports car, he replied "A GMC pickup." I also asked him why God doesn't make women shaped like Tura Satana anymore, he didn't have an answer for that, he mumbled something about hormones in livestock feed. My pal Aaron had been his driver all day during the film festival and he told me that he attempted to paw a buxom local writer as often as he could, indeed there's a picture of him in full titty grab mode. Yeah Russ Meyers was a man. His legacy will leave filmgoers enthralled forever.
Yea, Russ was a cool guy. He was at this convention once and my hubby begged me to go up and shove my boobs in his face for a picture but I was too shy... My friend Dan is shooting a movie this fall in Baltimore and Tura Satana is going to be in it. I'm going to invite her to dinner when she's in town. Dan says she's the nicest person he knows. Stacey
Seem's like one a week, now. His fast/chop editing was the forerunner for the music video's of today. If you've never seen one of his flick's at a real, full sized screen threater....you be missing it BIG time. His movie Super Vixen's played here in small town America while a senior in high school. The manger was cool and let abunch of us in. Weee-ha! Howling like Wolf Man Jack. Salute, Mr. Meyer. A man's man, and said it like it is.

RIP Russ. The Kontinentals went to a drive in screening of "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" at the ole Longhorn speedway oval track outside Austin a couple years ago. Tura Satana was the speical guest and rode in sitting on the back of Beatniks roadster. The High light of the night was one of Outlaws infamous burnouts. He lit the hides right at the old starting line and was holding it in place swinging the rear in back and forth when Tura runs over and lays across the hood! It was too wild.
That sucks, He ruled! Thanks for the link. Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! started me through puberty I always think of Russ Meyer films when I get my hair cut
Here in SF its nice to see his films every summer playing at one midnight mass or another. My boss was friends with Tura some time ago, so we have a nice signed and framed pic of her hanging up at the entrance of my work. Nothing better to start the day. RIP all you old coots.

This one is for you Krupanut. She looks a little different now.When Outlaw told me about the burnout I made him send me a picture.
not a t-man-I like tail myself, but if it wasn't for Russ, mags like Maxim and FHM wouldn't exist.Frat boys everywhere should shave their eyebrows in mourning. ps-that pic of Outlaw and Tura is about to be immortalized in paint-stay tuned for the JeepersCreeper's treatment....
[ QUOTE ] What's the best Russ Meyer movie? [/ QUOTE ] Hmmm... I really don;t know how to answer that.... but I'll be watching "FAster Pussycat, Kill, Kill" tomorrow night...
RIP Russ! Laugh my ass off everytime I think of Russ Meyer's movies. Back in '74 was at a theater in West University, Houston. With another couple, Wesley & Judy. Judy was a country girl from Vidor, Tx don't think she had ever seen a movie like this before. She was leaning forward in her seat, enthralled with the movie,eyes bugged out, eating popcorn. About the time the male lead whipped it out Judy says" Jesus Christ, would you look at the size of that thing!". Just then the movie was quiet, the whole thearter was quiet, just Judy's amazed utterance. The whole theater cracked up laughing at her. One of those "you had to be there" things I will never forget!!
I just won a copy of Mudhoney on ebay, used original video store stock, (not a rip-off bootleg copy) $20.00 lots of stuff listed.. Paul
