I rented Mannequin and Mannequin II and watched them over the weekend, it's been 20 years since I saw either but they are just as spot-on funny today as they were then.<br /><br />Add in the nostalgia factor and the cool retro clothes/hair and it beats anything opeining at the box office this weekend.<br /><br />I just got a note from my DVD provider that I can buy the set a discounted price rather than sending them back, i think I'll be adding these to my personal collection.<br /><br />Thanks for the memories and the laughs!Rebecca in Seattlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-52496160822182370552011-09-08T15:49:42.845-07:002011-09-08T15:49:42.845-07:00Did you ever ask those geniuses, if they were so h...Did you ever ask those geniuses, if they were so happy with your rewrite, why the fuck didn't they come to you guys to write the second film to begin with?

Thanks for the chuckle.<br /><br />At least Mannequin 2 finally got a laugh somewhere.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sorry the joke was just sitting there and I'm no professional so don't know well enough to ignore it. I actually have enjoyed the original Mannequin greatly and probably even Mannequin 2 once or twice (pot smoking in college probably helped) -- because, seriously, if you are a gay of a certain age -- currently 34-37, I think* -- you have to appreciate the camp value.<br /><br />* Anybody older would be offended and anybody younger wouldn't get it.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222454130248126891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-65737991493487461412011-09-04T20:12:19.698-07:002011-09-04T20:12:19.698-07:00I certainly hope you were responsible for the subt...I certainly hope you were responsible for the subtitle, "Mannequin Two: ON THE MOVE."

But having worked in Hollywood during that era, it is absolutely BELIEVABLE.<br /><br />(Personal note: I once played a reporter on a TV "true crime" movie. Years later I got a check from SAG for $1.29 from some Saudi Arabian cable channel.Nobody even offered me a TV set).<br /><br />I really enjoy your blog. It reminds me that the world is really like this. Now, I'm going to go pop a "Big Lebowsky" in my DVD player and waste my Sunday morning.Mike Botulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03280479229678291508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-28775858682919233322011-09-04T08:14:52.497-07:002011-09-04T08:14:52.497-07:00Who would want to buy a TV without speakers?
