Forever Fabulous: Things to Watch for...
*The color red. If you're seeing a digital print, all of the reds in the film pop. If you're watching a VHS dupe, those reds bleed... badly.
*Countless "Valley of the Dolls" references. Which should tell you what sort of audience this is aimed at.
*Opening titles sequence. It's simultaneously hideous and entrancing.
*Jean Smart speaking French with a Texas accent. That's something you don't hear every day.
*Corrine's head. And no, this is not a sexual thing, though Corrinne is obsessed with it.
*Gratuitous Mink Stole cameo!
*Jack Plotnick in a role that's clearly been trimmed down so much that one has to wonder why he's even there.
*Tiffany Dahl smoking. I'm thinking drinking game.
*Trippy still-frame montage sequences.
*Overabundant beauty queen bitching, bickering and bantering. Say that five times fast.
*Robert Wagner. He manages to steal scenes from a quartet of beauty queens. That takes balls.
*Camera shots up Jean Smart's dress. Something for the straight guys.
*Smiling teeth everywhere. At a point, it becomes creepy.
*Mirror images. There's mirrors and mirrored opticals throughout the film, to highlight the shallow vanity of the characters. Wow, that was deep. My head may explode now.
*Spoiler: Death by false eyelash. Perhaps the only one ever.
*Bitch-slapping beauty queens!
*"...I must increase my bust."
*Tiaras at bedtime.
*One minute Lyle's in drag, a few minutes later he's not, then he is again.
*Priscilla, Queen of the Desert homage. Doesn't get any gayer, folks. Oh wait, I forgot what movie I was talking about.
