Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Greatest soundtrack ever. Yes, better than that other disco one. This song pretty much sums up the plot of the movie. She teaches kids by day, and goes to bars at night looking for random sex with men. Or, sex with random men. Depends on which one you "accentuate". I believe she cared more about the sex. In fact, i know she did. Little thrill seeker she was. Real wild.
(4.00+ for hot disco hoover action)
Which of course means that she dies at the end. In the book at least. Beat to death. By a dude in the bedroom with a lamp (i think)after he fails to achieve an erection and becomes embarrassed. My mom said this movie caused a bunch of controversy b/c it was a response to the whole "sexual womans lib" thing that basically said "enjoy yourself too much and you end up like her". Dead.
Actually, this was based on a real life crime: the Murder of Roseann Quinn. From what i just read on wiki, the lamp beating was not what really happened. And what really happened to her is really truly terrible. The flaccid penis thing did happen tho.
But back to happy music land. So you dont think im talkin shit, its got "try me i know we can make it" on it. By Donna Summer. The best song of hers. And the version on LFMG is the BEST version of it. I swear to you. Its like they took out the garbage in that song, added some breathier vocals and the best song was born. Selah.
I looked for the CD on amazon and its 70$. Yes, CD.
I got in on vinyl.
Jesus, Diane Keaton was at her 70s best wasn't she?
