Prompted some discussion of Russell’s age last time it came up, sometime last year?

Ah yes, and this from Whiney:

They way they drew women on movie posters from like 1965 to 1989 is like America's hentai

Pollifax was Russell's last feature film. She did a TV movie the next year, and died in '76.

Some Kind of a Nut (1969)

I Am Fribbulus (Xax) (Doctor Casino), Wednesday, 8 September 2021 18:23 (four years ago)

good one! looks like a helluva film too.

think “Gypsy-Pixie” and misspelled. (We are a white family.) (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 16 September 2021 02:22 (four years ago)

apparently the plot is that Dick Van Dyke can't shave, due to a... mosquito bite I think? and this raises hackles at his mild-mannered job or whatever, and is the prompt for what seems like possibly a very limp, toothless sendup of hippie-era culture classes and the Generation Gap and so on.

Thought that was going to be the smoking one for a minute, what was that called, Cold Turkey, maybe? Probably somewhere upthread in a broken link already.

Amazing cast on that one.

Not the only religious satire Richard Pryor cameoed in that year that had an illustrated poster

In God We Trust, 1980

There's an even better set of caricatured lobby cards for this one, but I can't find good scans.

Feel like I should mention the art from that second In God We Trust is part of the lobby card set, which is done in the same style.

Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 27 December 2021 00:45 (four years ago)

was that Heartbeeps art used for the poster? have not seen that version. but i'd legit consider owning such a poster.

I Am Fribbulus (Xax) (Doctor Casino), Monday, 27 December 2021 01:45 (four years ago)

only two of the listed cast members on that Wholly Moses poster are alive today

Not sure if it actually appeared on a poster, but a cropped version appeared on the soundtrack album cover.

XP...and one of them is Laraine Newman, who by many metrics shouldn't be alive today.

Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 27 December 2021 02:56 (four years ago)

oh wow. that's really got a look to it. much as the movie does! main reason to watch it, plus it's got such a strange melancholy energy. like the creators seem to have intentionally been seeking something like Silent Running, and almost getting there.

Viz is a UK comic for adults. It's very funny if also I'd imagine impenetrable to many Americans.
