Russ Meyer

I had heard of this guy, but never seen any of his films...tonight there was a double-feature, Faster, Faster, Pussycat, Kill, Kill! and Beneath the Vally of the Ultra-Vixens. Holy shit! Faster, Faster was weird and interesting, but the real treasure was Beneath the Valley - it was basically a soft core pornography movie, with some interesting characters, including a narrator who narrates the story from around parts of the film, a la the Big Lebowski, a sequence in which the main character decides to disguise herself as a Mexican stripper and speak only in Spanish, the male lead being obsessed with anal sex, and an evangelical radio DJ with huge tits whose sermons serve as sexual aides to the little towns in Texas. And the end of the movie even goes more ape-shit - the cinematographer suddenly appears, taking the role of the narrator after the narrator catches his son having sex with his Norweigen step-mom, and asks him to step aside...really, truly unbelievable film.
