Ancient Times Nonsense

Yeah, this film is like a long steamy one that you evacuate in the morning. I had to see some of this film when I was visiting my mother. She likes to watch lots of stupid movies, and usually I let her, but when Rita Haywire started dancing during that ridiculous "Blame it on Mame" number, I had to put my foot down. If I were in the audience back in the 19th century when this movie was made I would've thought Rita was trying to fight me, the way she came down into the crowd swinging her arms around wildly. I guess the old timers thought that was sexy, but to me it looked like she was mentally deficient and out of control. How did those people back then think that was sexy? Lusting over mental deficients is beyond creepy, it's predatory. Old times people had no taste, but they obviously also didn't have any shame. I tried to make my mother understand that but she wasn't having it and started screaming and crying about how it took her almost two full days to push me out of her womb and how I'm a drunken ungrateful lout, but you'll be proud to know I held my ground. I told her she's gonna have to watch that embarrassing excrement on her own time. I told her I'd rather smash off my own hand in a stamping machine down at the iron works than sit through that movie.

Don't watch it. I'll be very disappointed if you can't heed my advice. You watch it, you'll hate it and that's on you Buster because I told you so.
