Line of movie dialogue about us...

From the rip-roaring car crash-o-rama Pit Stop. With an unknown actress named Ellen McRae, who wouldn't always be unknown. A few years later she started using the last name "Burstyn."

We rated one line:

Jolene: "What religion are you?"

Rick: "Don't have one. I believe when you're dead, you're dead."

Jolene: "I believe heaven is like a big island in the sky. Where you can make love all day long and never feel ashamed!"

Whew! Well, WTF. Blame the times - the movie was made in 1967 and finally escaped was released in 1969. "Rick" is played by Dick Davolos, a 10th-gen Xerox of Elvis Presley if you squint a lot. And "Jolene" is portrayed by Beverly Washburn, a sort of yard-sale Audrey Hepburn.

The flick was written, produced and directed by Jack Hill, who may have been advertising his own non-belief in the script.

It has lots of stock footage of wham-bam figure-8 racing, with classic Fifties cars being destroyed. And scenes shot at a junkyard on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. You sure won't see any junkyards in that neighborhood today. That would be about like finding a junkyard on Fifth Avenue.

Hill certainly had an eye for talent. He moved into blaxploitation flix after meeting a studio receptionist named Pam Grier. And later practically invented...er, cough, uh...single-handedly the whole "caged women" genre. e.g., "Switchblade Sisters" from 1975, starring Lenny Bruce's daughter Kitty.

almost makes me want to believe in god.

She had hair like Jeanie Shrimpton back in 1965,
She had legs that never ended, I was halfway paralyzed,
She was tall and cool and pretty
And just as black as coal
If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul.

She held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band,
And she stood just like Bill Wyman, now I am her biggest fan...

Now I lie in bed and think of her
Sometimes I even weep,
Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep...

Shit. I think I just managed to depress myself.

That chick's got issues, man.

I can work with that.;)
