Good Movies / Re: IS IT PORN? (reviews and d...
Last post by M.10rda - September 12, 2026, 10:24:29 AMMAX AND HIS DOG DICK (1912): 
.......Okay, I couldn't help myself.
Of course this isn't Porn - but how could I refrain from posting a title like that in this thread?! 
"Max" is director Max Linder, apparently an early French also-ran in the silent comedy star sweepstakes. He does have a dog and yes, the dog's name is Dick. Max also has a girlfriend and, to put any further confusion to rest, Dick and the girlfriend don't get along at all.
Was it worth watching this 10-ish minute movie just for the amusing title? Uhhh....... nope! This is maybe the most primitive silent film I've seen to date, almost wholly bereft of content or form.
Linder wasn't much of a filmmaker nor a comedian. Didk the Dog briefly talks on a telephone - that's something, I guess. 1/5

Ah, the eighties, when anything marked '2000' had a futuristic ring to it
Melanie Griffith is supposed to play it cool, I guess, but just comes across as sleepwalking.
"In the YEEEEAR TWO THOU-saaaaaaaaand..."Pretty sure this was shelved and released a couple years after its production when Griffith made WORKING GIRL... I certainly enjoyed it enough as a, uhh, pubescent boy.
Griffith was never a good actress but she looked great here. I wish she'd kept the Milla Jovavich/FIFTH ELEMENT hairstyle instead of getting a huge 80s Big Hair perm, which somehow she retained through much of the 90s.......After watching the nightmarish 1981 film ROAR, in which Griffith was really clawed in the face by a lion and required reconstructive surgery, I've wondered if Griffith's general lack of expressiveness and blase attitude (re: playing "it cool"/"sleepwalking") was maybe due to partial facial paralysis and/or PTSD!

It is the distant year 2017, and some catastrophe has happened so many advanced technologies are now lost. One of these is the manufacture of sexbots. So when our hero fries his companion bot because of an overflowing dishwasher, he has no option but to venture out in the badlands to scrounge another chassis from the robot graveyard. Luckily Melanie Griffith is there to help.
This is a pretty much by the numbers postapocalyptic adventure. David Andrews is a poor man's Kevin Costner, with no discernible charisma or chemistry with Melanie Griffith. Also the initial antagonism is completely tacked on. In K-dramas they at least take the trouble of motivating why the two leads start out hating eachother. Melanie Griffith is supposed to play it cool, I guess, but just comes across as sleepwalking.
I did like the worldbuilding, with its strange mix of near future high tech (for the 80s), Old West and general postapolyptic madness. Like any of these worlds, it doesn't make much sense if you think about it for two minutes, yet instead of trying to make it grimdark, like most movies of the genres, they really leaned into the silliness and the cartoonishness of it. It is more Tank Girl than Mad Max
