 Red Melanie, 2008-09-25
My friend and I had a pact all through the 1970s and 80s, and we petered out in the 1990s when we realized that what we had was just a pie in the sky. Our mission was to artificially prolong the careers of our two favorite stars, Kim Basinger and Melanie Griffith, by actually showing up in the movie theaters, for all their various releases.
This entailed sometimes a lot of loneliness, as often enough we were the only two paying customers in the theater, but one good thing is we hardly ever had to wait on line. At the multiplex there would be huge long lines for DIE HARD or ROGER RABBIT, but we'd be sitting pretty, able to slip into CHERRY 2000 hours ahead of time and stay for multiple shows if we liked (though this was actually cheating, as we needed our box office dollar to register in the far echoes of Hollywood's profit machine).
CHERRY 2000 was actually one of Melanie's better vehicles of the period and she looked far younger than in her contemporary films--maybe a sign that the picture had been delayed? That was often the case with Melanie's movies, she'd make something and then it would just sit on the shelf till the studios sorted out how big a loss they were going to take that year. Sometimes four or five years would pass in this way but we hardly cared, all it meant was that her hair was just going to look more lustrous and beautiful and that she was going to be wearing some big outdated lips, but that's why we haunted these big empty movie theaters. Kim's pictures, for whatever reason, tended to find release soon after she completed them--no longer. And once in awhile Kim wound up in a big fat hit, seemingly by accident, so we found ourselves in a perplexing fix when BATMAN (1989) came out and there were actually lines for a Kim Basinger movie and also, when we got in, I couldn't sit in the back row and him in the front row and still holler to each other about how beautiful she was. There were humans in between us--we hadn't counted on that--that had never happened before.
CHERRY 2000 is not Melanie Griffith in any sense of the word, "Cherry 2000" is a robot in the future like a sex doll owned by the hero, and when water seeps into her brain when they are making love, she stops responding and he has to find a replacement for her. He has to venture into the forbidden zone, and find an armed escort--who turns out to be Melanie Griffith, tough and taut in full Linda Hamilton mode with blazing red hair like a provocation. Their enemy, Lester, is played by Tim Thomerson in full 80s wack job form! He is the face of the 80s same as Nancy Reagan! Haven't seen him in years, but he used to be in every picture ever made like Wings Hauser! I'm sure that somewhere on this planet two boys roamed who had made it their mission in life to prolong Tim Thomerson's career by seeing every movie HE made. Funny I never met those guys, especially on this one occasion so great for all four of us.
