Movie #2327: Vixen! (1968, Russ Meyer)
This is an odd one. The action takes place in British Columbia but the plot concerns racism, imperialism and communism (not a normal Russ Meyer concerns). It's just a regular romp in the woods until we learn the Vixen (the lead character) is a rabid racist and that her brother's friend is a draft dodger. Then a communist enters the picture and trys to hijack the little Cesna to Havana! The communist turns out to a baddie and the draft dodger is thinking only of himself but the racism subplot is just left hanging there.
I think Vixen would have been a big hit with Nixon!
Book #463: Fake I.D. (2000, Jason Starr)
In the tradition of Lou Ford from "The Killer Inside Me", we have a first person narrative by Tommy who appears to be kind of an asshole. Of course, that's just at first. As the story goes on we learn that he's a first class socioparth, a total idiot and a guy who constantly feels sorry for himself. What a winner!
Haven't read anything by Starr before but this is top-notch (although you will feel like taking a shower after you've read it).
