This is something I've been waiting for for a long long time
Welcome back to my Dark Corner of this Sick World
'What in the world brings you down here?'
We're back with our old friend Ed Wood this week
'It's always difficult for an old friend to sit in judgement on an old friend'
You'd think, but it turns out I'm fine with it.
'So what?'
The Violent Years is only written by Wood so the leaden direction is someone else's fault.
'How am I to blame'
The dialogue however is unmistakable.
'Goodnight boys the party's over...
but the night might just be beginning'
featuring Wood's trademark desperation for all this to be seen as believable
'But it has happened'
The film follows a group of delinquent girls
'help yourselves if you want any.'
who sensibly disguise their gender by wearing masks.
well that's not fooling anyone
'4 young boys'
shows what I know.
'Wore masks, levis, leather jackets'
And mascara, but clearly the masks worked
'Do what they say Shirley, they've got guns'
well you see, this is just dumb.
'These aren't kids, these are morons.'
I couldn't agree more, although the adults aren't that bright either
'What in the world is a pyjama party'
The girls crime spree escalates to terrible acts of violence
during this daring daylight sweater robbery
'Take that sweater off'
A more suspicious man than me would think this was just the filmmakers way of getting her to take her clothes off
'Maybe you'd like to tell me what I tie her up with?'
'Use her skirt, that looks strong enough'
Okay, now I'm suspicious.
'For God's sake shirl, take the sweater off, give it to her!'
The film's most infamous scene implies that the girls gang rape this man
'Maybe he's got more to offer than his money'
Off screen naturally.
And, of course such gateway crimes, as robbery, assault and rape, inevitably lead to messing up school rooms
Somebody really needed to have a word to Ed about escalation in a script,
although there is a hint that this crime is just plain unAmerican
'Don't worry if a few flags get destroyed in the process'
'Let's just say it is part of well organised foreign plan.'
The police show up, and since the girls have been caught in the act of recklessly destroying a globe
they decide to shoot their way out.
'They're shooting back'
That was predictable.
'It ain't supposed to be this way'
The remaining girls slip out the back way, just next to where the police are.
'Now we've got to keep on the move.'
(gun shot)
They then take refuge with someone even dumber than they are
'I killed a policeman tonight'
'I may have been bluffing before but I'm not bluffing now, I'm calling the police'
Before crashing their car
I think.
'Now don't you bother your pretty little head about it'
The rest of the film is given over to the Moral, to which it has been building throughout,
with as much subtlety as using a steamhammer to crack a peanut
'Got time to talk a minute, it's kind of important'
'Good gracious no'
'Gee Honey I'm sorry I can't be at your party tonight, but you know how busy I am'
'Mom and Dad haven't been to my birthday party in years'
3 girls are dead, one left pregnant, who is thoroughly chastised by the judge at her trial
'you have had all that money can give you. but that wasn't enough.'
Message received
'The thrill seeker comes from all walks of life'
just sentence her!
'the love for the mother and the father, the church and their country'
Is this guy running for something? he talks solidly for 3 minutes, pausing only to check his script
'With his... continual increases of dosage'
But what about the baby?
'The baby a girl, is well and healthy.'
And the mother?
'She,,, she died.;
Her parents apply to the court to adopt the child
'Adults create the world that children live in.'
Oh, not him again!
'If all people would join this back to God movement'
shut up!
'So what'
Good summation of the movie.
'Pretty bad one this time. How about it doc?'
'Pretty bad'
You can say that again
'Pretty bad huh?'
'Pretty bad'
So we're all in agreement? Good.
'It all feels like a bad dream.'
