Transcript:
Zonker: Boopsie, I know it's none of my business, but frankly, it's a little upsetting to see you in a teen gross-out flick. Boopsie: Zonker, it's not a teen gross-out flick! Zonker: It's not? Boopsie: Not at all. It's a tender, serious look at first relationships by one of the top geniuses working in Hollywood! When Garth was growing up in Iowa, he used to be a teenager himself. "Chugalug" is a loving, personal statement about the ambiguity and pain of that time of life. Director: Okay, let's go! Where's the bimbo? Boopsie: I gotta go back to work. Don't worry, okay?

Some Hawkeye deserves a smack upside the back of his head for talking to our Boopsie that way.

Poor Boopsie thinks she’s working on something worthwhile. But she’s working with some jerk who doesn’t think she’s worthwhile…

Trudeaux married Jane Pauley.. who is either the early version of J.J., or a smart version of Boopsie.

I’ve seen actresses talk about a cheesy movie they’re in and how it empowers women. (To take off their clothes).

They made one of these in my neighborhood, called “Getting It On” aka “American Voyeur”. Sadly it was the year before I moved there, so I didn’t get to check out the “talent” in person.

@StCleve72“You know you’re from Iowa if …“You can find nice things to say about Herbert Hoover.” ".My grandfather claimed he could barely make enough to make payments on the farm before Hoover’s Depression, but thanks to Hoover, he lost it and earned much better money working construction as a heavy equipment operator..It was sort of a good thing.

Teen gross-out flick? Life is also art, just not as well edited.

I used to know a woman who made her living as a Scream Queen in Horror Movies..She said she got a Huge Kick out of thinking up New Ways for the Psychopath to Kill Her.After all, who wants to Die the same old way, movie after movie?She actually Enjoys being made up to look like she’s been chopped up with a chain saw and then doused with fake blood..She got into it in the first place because she was a Fan of Horror movies as a teenager and a friend told her about one that was looking for “Face in the Crowd” extras for the next day. So, she went down to the set the next day and never looked back..
