Swamp Thing!




Valerie Bertinelli got fat and that made news. I get her confused with an actress from an earlier generation

Adrienne Jo Barbeau A popular sex symbol during my era, she is now 63, her more notable film work includes The Fog, Creepshow, Swamp Thing and Escape from New York. During the 1990s, Barbeau became known for providing the sultry voice of Catwoman on Batman:and she was the tough bitch in Grease.

The movie Swamp Thing had some moth eaten not all the way wrapped mummy chasing Barbeau the Body through the muck wrapped in see through consignment store sundress, the Hollywood premise “You don’t need to spend money on monster when the damsel has breasts money can’t buy because back in those days Augmentation was an Italian mobster.
And so we root for the damsel in “da dress” it’s the latent ‘what a waste to have her eaten by a monster” but if the damsel were a queen size target with a large landing zone X on her back the average man in the audience becomes a participant screaming ‘Catch her fat ass! There’s plenty more where she came from!”
And that is not cruelty but reality that’s why vulnerability in films is always played by someone in shape. We don’t care if fat people get caught, in fact, the men in the audience say things like “can you believe that jive ass monster can’t find the fat bitch behind the curtain?”
And as Eric Clapton sang, “Before you accuse me take a look at yourself.”
