Sometimes I Miss the Seventies, Sometimes I Don't

Try to say this with a straight face:

Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking, conditions on the ground are partly cloudy, about 65 degrees, and the penis is evil.

One could have some fun doing ROCKY HORROR style callbacks with this film:

"The gun is good!"
Yay Guns!

"The penis is evil!"
Yay Penis!
Or something like that.

Some reviewers of this film have complained vigorously about the surfeit of flat-chested hippie chicks. Given the choice between entering a (*nudge-nudge*) mature relationship with an intelligent flat-chested hippie chick versus a surgically inflated overly made-up walking brain-death case such as Pamela Whatever Lee, I'd choose the former in a nanosecond.

Stupid and artificial is in my mind very repulsive.

Of course when that "hippy chick" is portrayed by Charlotte Rampling, circa 1974, the affirmative choice is pretty much a given.
