3.3.12

james woods.

(videodrome, 1983)
"fucked up" is the only way to describe david cronenberg's entrancing fantasy picture videodrome. in it, james woods' max renn is a sleazy television producer who gets caught up in the bizarre world of the pseudo-simulated videodrome universe -- a program created by an evil madman intent on annihilating the degenerates who get off on watching torture porn. at least, i think that's what it's about. max's mild-mannered, buttoned-down wardrobe makes for an interesting contrast to his freaky sex scene with nicki brand (debbie harry). you have been warned.

jeff goldblum, jim carrey & damon wayans.

(earth girls are easy, 1988)
who knew that jim carrey was such a babe? 
the definition of 'so bad it's good'... earth girls are easy brims with deliberate 80s camp, a bright and shiny concoction that could only have been created by julie brown. mac, wiploc and zeebo may come across as unlikely style hunks, but once the blue, red and yellow fur comes off -- jeff golblum, jim carrey and damon wayans set out on a gaudy and garish romp through the los angeles valley. big hair, big music and angelyne set the pace for this fantastic cult comedy of errors.

gary oldman.

(sid and nancy, 1986)
 gary oldman as sid vicious is one of the most perfect performances ever captured (same for chloe webb's nancy spungen). despite the fact that he probably smelled like a burning tire throughout the film's entire production, he absolutely belongs on every 'babe' list in existence.
