The Steven Banks Show (1991)
One of the finest one man shows..
One of the finest one man shows was the basis for this show. I never saw this series but my friends and I, 13 years later, still fondly remember his one man show that was presented on Showtime. What makes it all the more remarkable is that we probably have not SEEN the show in about 12 years and it still resonates as one of the funniest and memorable things we have ever seen on television.
The Affair (1995)
Who took the writing credit for this one?
Standard late night cable soft core fare, with lots of pretty people that was relatively tame on the sex, and heavy on an implausible cheesy story.
Nothing makes me laugh more than things that happen in this genre of film that could never, EVER, happen in real life. This film certainly had a few of those.
The very hot albeit naive girl, who is as innocent as a newborn, and would never do anything the least bit adventurous, always having as a best friend one who can claim to doing both football teams, the mascot and the band is one. I also found humor in their jogging between cigarette breaks. The dumb and equally naive guy who is as gullible as they come, but he loves his girl, even though he is obligated not to trust her for plot development, had me shaking my head. Can someone also tell me how he survives a motorcycle crash, takes a dirt nap on an embankment for a while to sober up and drives off without a scratch to his hunky head? The girl selling car wash tickets had me rolling, and her sole purpose was simply so that she could turn up in the end of the film, showing us that our rich diva who will not be denied what she wants, indeed can get what she wants. Even turning an innocent college sophomore into what is now no doubt a wild raging nympho lesbian sex slave.
The acting.. ehhh, these people aren't cast for their acting abilities, give them credit for trying. It is refreshing though to not see the plastic and surgically implanted Barbie dolls that permeate these types of films now.
