I don't think I'm too sad about that but they bear the stamp of your more eclectic taste when movie scouting. They all sound positively dreadful and I think I may have seen the original Slumber Party Massacre which was plenty for me.<br /><br />Of your game picks I've seen The Last Starfighter which was much better than I expected it to be when I sat down to watch and now I'm kicking myself that I didn't think of it instead of the wretched Battleship. I'm surprised you found two more! Who knew there were so many out there?<br /><br />There are so many party movies I couldn't decide and then I stumbled across a theme and went with it! However it's been so damn cold the last week I needed a blast of summer and threw in an extra to turn up the heat.<br /><br />The Wild Party (1975)-On the skids Hollywood silent comic star Jolly Grimm (James Coco) is hoping that an elaborate party he’s throwing with the aid of his mistress (Raquel Welch), capped by the showing of his new film, will reignite his career. The party starts well but quickly spirals out of control ending in tragedy. This was loosely based on the notorious Fatty Arbuckle case. Welch and Coco are both excellent.<br /><br />The Wild Party (1956)-The wild party of the title is a kidnapping by a group of losers that becomes the ultimate bad night. “Kicks” Johnson, a hepcat ivory tickler (Nehemiah Persoff) who needs cash cause being broke for a living, “just ain’t cool for a jazzman”, Tom Kupfen, a former pro-football player (Anthony Quinn) reduced to rolling drunks for a few bucks, the trampy Honey (Kathryn Grant) Tom’s last hanger-on from his glory days- in need of cash to pay the rent who says of herself "I have 40,000 miles on me" plus a knife happy, small time con-man, Gage Freeposter (Jay Robinson) on the run from Johnny Law go looking for a score. Freeposter cruises an upscale jazz club “The Fat Man” where the “real cats swing” in search of a mark or two. They find a rich couple (Carol Omart and Arthur Franz) and entice them to an abandoned amusement park where things quickly go wrong. Loaded with 50’s hipster lingo and a primo jazz score. <br /><br />The Wild Party (1929)-A group of young women at a girls college are more interested in attending wild parties than studying for their classes. After being kicked out of one such party one of the girls, Stella Ames (Clara Bow), gets into a bad situation in a bar where one of her professors James Gilmore (Fredric March) has to save her. Gossip about the two spreads and Stella has to act fast to save both their reputations. Bow is at her “It Girl” best.<br /><br />Summer Throwback Bonus-Beach Party (1963)-It’s the original gathering of Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, Deadhead, Eric Von Zipper and the whole beach party gang! This one has a bit more story than usual with anthropology professor Robert Orwell Sutwell (Robert Cummings) and his secretary Marianne (Dorothy Malone) studying the sex habits of teenagers. Not that they’re having any real sex just singing and dancing to Dick Dale and the Del Tones and surfing of course.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-60511259366770977322016-12-22T00:18:17.340-05:002016-12-22T00:18:17.340-05:00I don't remember if I've seen Slumber Part...I don't remember if I've seen <i>Slumber Party Massacre III</i> as I saw a lot of films based on sororities and horror back in the early 90s on late night TV due to my fascination for the female anatomy. I'm sure it's fun. As for your 3 video game picks, those are great choices as <i>The Last Starfighter</i> remains a childhood favorite of mine while I fucking love <i>The King of Kong</i>. <i>Atari: Game Over</i> is quite fascinating though it left me wanting for more about the video game crash of 1983. Plus, I don't think <i>E.T.</i> the game is the worst game ever as there's far worse. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
