baby night


yes, lately i've been watching the classic and creepy, practically flawless film
'rosemary's baby,'
directed by roman polanski. here's a great screen capture of the naiive-but-not-so-dumb rosemary woodhouse, woozy from the wild effects of minnie's homemade chocolate mouse. i love her 'now' red velour pajama suit, and i love the psychedelic spooky sequence of her unwitting consumation with the devil himself. i was first aware of this movie thanks to Mort Drucker's excellent movie parody in MAD magazine. i can't watch the movie without thinking about frames from the satire. hey, don't get me wrong; its an excellent movie no matter what background information you have. i could go on and on about how good it is, but hey, you know i'd rather just roll it, sit back, and dig...! dig on the diabolical goings-on! if you've never seen it, i give it my wholehearted reccommendation.
