Tura Satana, RIP

Tura Satana died yesterday in Reno, Nevada. She was best known as one of the stars of Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, but her life included much more than that. I highly recommend the autobiographical essay she wrote for her website -- a vivid portrait of reform school, the burlesque circuit, Hollywood, and more, with a cast that ranges from Harold Lloyd to Elvis. I can't say I'm sure that all of it is true, but that only adds to its charm. Rest in peace.

"I can't say I'm sure that all of it is true" Why Jesse? Is it because she's a woman? Do you put that caveat in all your articles or only when it's a woman with a great set of tits?

[Warty]

You aren't interesting, you whore, and no one cares about what you think.

[Rather]

Warty, you are puerile

[heller]

Pot to kettle.

[Rather]

helle, I'm not talking to you till you admit you came to my website and posted three comments

[heller]

Awesome!

[Both of you]

Go to Heller.

[Ken Shultz]

Why would the autobiography of an exploitation starlet be all true?

Fer Pete's sake!

[Ken Shultz]

I mean, seriously?!

Somebody questions whether a tell-all book by an exploitation starlet is all true--and the first place you go is sexism?!

Earth to Rather: People make shit up to sell books! Exploitation starlets? Probably more so.

[Ronnie Reagan Jr]

Did not!

[Rather]

Ken, there is not one fucking autobiography published that is not co-authored by a ghost writer-and they are equally full of shit. To call out Tura Satana is sexist, and BTW, I read her online bio-she wrote it herself

[libertarian democrat]

I kinda doubt On Writing by Stephen King is ghost written.

I mean, unless he writes a story where a ghosts writes his autobiography. Then maybe it would be ghost written.

[Rather]

I should have added the caveat 'famous people but not writers' but you would be surprised how many writers get 'help'

[Scorekeeper]

Yes, like Obama, for example. Bill Ayers really outdid himself.

[visit the cuntpickle]

And then there is the Teleprompter of the United States.

[In Time Of War]

I read her online bio also, and she should have hired a ghost writer.

[Jesse Walker]

Do you put that caveat in all your articles or only when it's a woman with a great set of tits?

Well, here I am saying it when Timothy Leary tells a maybe-too-perfect tale about a meeting with Marshall McLuhan. Tim's tits weren't so big.

helle, deny that you were ever at my website or be a man and tell the truth.

Which is it? Are you a little boy or a man?

[heller]

Well first of all, the person you are responding to isn't me, you dumb bitch.

Second of all, I didn't go to your stupid whore website. Can you prove it? Do you have any reason to say this, or are you just trying to get attention?

[Scorekeeper]

I would think attention, Heller. This Rather is very disturbed, like Maj. Nidal Hassan level disturbed. I'm glad to see liberal progressives are good about following that meme about civil discourse and good taste.

[Rather]

"civil discourse and good taste"
Old man, that is precisely what comes to mind when I think of H&R!

[a penny a day keep Obama away]

Especially when someone keeps going with the Cuntpickle comments.

[heller]

There's nothing uncivil about cunt pickles. It's Rectal's way of making a living and you should respect it.

[Bohica]

"Cuntpickle"

Sweet or dill?

[heller]

She's not telling, you'll just have to try one.

[Sy]

Depends on what she ate.. and how long she can keep the vinegar sucked up in there.

[Anomalous]

Gashgherkin.

[Rather]

you were sexist and patronizing by inferring she lied and dismissing exaggeration as 'charm'.

In Leary's case you state " Leary could be wrongheaded or incoherent, but he could also be sharp-witted and prescient. Even his bizarre contribution to National Review had some genuine insights hidden among the bile." Despite the fact that you admit he was "known to take liberties when recounting his personal history, and the McLuhan story sounds a little too perfect to be absolutely true."

Further "[a] more charitable interpretation is that he saw the likely consequences of a black market and hoped to minimize the damage..."

Finally, immoderately presumptuous, you have no qualms about defending a proven liar by questioning the authors credibility "But there's something odd about a biography that almost inevitably assumes, whenever Leary's account differs from that of another witness, that Leary's the one who's lying."

I guess author's tits were larger than Mr. Leary's too.

Just curious Jesse but couldn't you find an article to defend yourself here? Or, were you just blogwhoring 😉

[Jesse Walker]

I inferred she lied? News to me.

As for the Leary stuff, I'd be happy to respond to whatever point you think you're making, but first you'll have to let me know what it is.

[Rather]

"I can't say I'm sure that all of it is true"

The antonyms for true: corrupt, counterfeit, deceitful, false, fraudulent, invalid, unreal

Are we playing semantics or are you patronizing me because I have tits too?

...You know damn well your remarks reflect your prejudices-own them like a man or I'll take back your first annual RandyAyndy Awards statue

[Jesse Walker]

Are we playing semantics or are you patronizing me because I have tits too?

Neither. I think the difference between "I can't say for sure that it's all true" and "I can say for sure that it isn't all true" is pretty obvious. Satana claims to have secretly dated Elvis. I am genuinely uncertain as to how accurate that is.

You know damn well your remarks reflect your prejudices-own them like a man

Speaking of sexism.

[Rather]

Neither?
"I can't say I'm sure that all of it is true"
I guess we are playing semantics a la Clinton.
Whether you add that you think it could be true but doubt the veracity of the Elvis claim (BTW, he picked women by their feet-he had his scouts check to see if groupies had pedicures, or else he wasn't fucking them), or that you don't think it is true because you doubt the Elvis connection is still questioning her record of events.

Adding your unfounded skepticism is insinuating that she lacked the moral character to tell the truth. Further, you referenced a man who questioned Leary's truthfulness and yet, you did defend him. Without a contradictory claim against Miss Satana, you questioned her auto-biography. Pointedly, in her story she wrote of the importance of her moral character and yet you demean her because of prejudicial little-boy feelings of guilt over sexuality-how about them tits apples

[heller]

Considering you have less proof that Jesse is being sexist than Jesse does for saying he is unsure about whether Satana's Elvis story is true or not, why don't you just shut the fuck up before you make an even bigger fool of yourself?

[Rather]

Are you slow? He has sexist crap all over this site-that's why he diverted to another less liberal blog-love using that word here. 🙂

[heller]

Example of sexist crap please?

Also you fail.

[Rather]

lol-so we both did 😉
Come to my site; I'll talk to you there

[heller]

How did I fail?

This beyond trolling and performance art, Jesse. This is beyond Max, Dan T., Neil, Lefiti, Dondero (and his unreasonable facsimiles) and even, yes, even the performance art that was both Joe P. Boyle from Lowell and Lonewacko.

To quote this current administration,
this level of trolling/performance art/full blown batshit insane Olbermanning is....wait for it..."unprecedented".

Anyone want to take bets Rather is really Lonewacko?

[Rather]

I will. How much?

[visit the cuntpickle]

[Kinks]

Rather, I don't know if you're a boy or a girl. Besides, isn't referring to someone's titties as a condition of veracity kind of sexist in itself?

And frankly, I don't care how big your tits are. You're still a dumb whore.

poor helle! Is someone spoofing you? How does that make you feel?

[heller]

I wouldn't call that a spoof, since it wasn't mocking me.

Jesse: 2 Cuntpickle: 0

To reduce the Cuntpickle's "argument" to its simplest terms: since you didn't deify the late Ms. Satana to the level of say, Gabrielle Giffords, and did not accept her memoir as absolute and undeniable truth, that makes you "sexist". You are being accused of casting aspersions of doubt where none exist; I suspect this Rather "person" (tests have proven inconclusive) is cut from the same cloth as Rev. Al Sharpton.

[Rather]

helle, why are you hiding from me little boy? I won't spank you HARD for lying but you have to tell the truth. For Christ's sake, you know jews have enough of a tough time-don't add 'liars' to the meme.

If you fess-up now to posting three times on my blog, I'll let you pull down your pants slowly 😉

[Kant feel Pietzsche]

God, your schtick is getting old. You're like Alan King with Alzheimer's.

[Rather]

Ughh, you're one of those jackasses who puts up a fake email address because why?

You're too fucking old to remember it, and use references 40's because you think Roosevelt is POTUS ?
or
It's a habit because your dick malfunctions and your email is a metaphor for your unsatisfactory life?

Which is it old man?

[heller]

Not me dumbass. Rectal, I'm being serious here, you should get checked out by a doctor. I think your mental health is fading.

[Rather]

Helle, you are losing it-I wasn't referring to you this time. Now don't be such a bitch and come back to my blog. Do you remember what I presented you with? That's your password.

[heller]

LOL, you weren't referring to me? Come on Rectal, now you're just being pathetic:

Yeah you were just referring to the other helle. Right...

Alan King is still alive, though ancient, which was the joke. I don't put up a real email addy for two reasons.

1. I'm not a blogwhore, and have no aching need to be RECOGNIZED.

2. I have no wish to be stalked by people like you.

If there weren't actually a blogsite for this cow, I'd swear it was Sugarfree fucking with us. But he's too damned lazy to create a whole site just to do it.

You mean your "project"? I was there long enough to verify it was an actual site, and that it appeared to be nothing but video clips (mostly from youtube, I would imagine). And I'm angry at myself for even doing that.

Most people just post their clips on facebook, why don't you? Oh, that's right! On your blogsite, you can at least pretend you have friends.

Maybe you should put in a big ole' thumbs-up icon. You could spend your day clicking on it and fantasizing.

Can someone at Reason take a look at the IP logs for this thread? I would be absolutely delighted to learn that all the comments are from the same person, including those by Jesse Walker.

[a penny a day keep Obama away]

I would seriously doubt that is the case.

[Mr Whipple]

So does Proplyene Glycol. And it's just as poisonous...

You're thinking of ethylene glycol or common anti-freeze. Propylene glycol is the "animal friendly" anti-freeze, and has been approved for use in food. It's been rumored that some cheap winemakers use ethylene glycol to sweeten their shitty wine.

[Kant feel Pietzsche]

Damn! I stand corrected.

I guess everybody's gotta post about something after staggering home one a Friday night...

And that's the way it was--this has been Dan rather than Walter. ...Good night, Irene!

P.S. "Hollywood Babylon" was all true!

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! was awesome!

Up there with The Angry Breed...

Okay, better than The Angry Breed.

Oh, and just for the record? Neither movie was based on a true story.

This is very sad. I have pictures of her on my blog and was her "friend" on fb.
You can find tons of pictures of her on other people's tumblrs. Stripper photos, Spider Pool shots, movie stills...

RIP Tura

[Rather]

SIV, I checked your website when I read she died and I was disappointed you didn't memorialize her. I'm glad you got around to it; a worthwhile wait

[Joshua]

Maybe I missed the part where you went into where she furthered the cause of liberty?

Unless you're saying that the mere existence of Faster Pussykat... furthers the cause of liberty. Actually I'd buy into that.

[Ken Shultz]

Hell yes!

That's the problem with the Middle East today!

Whether they had a reformation?! Who cares? It's the lack of exploitation films!

Crazed go go dancers?! Nazi surfers and LSD parties?! Hollywood Babylon!

After that, liberty's just the next logical step.

Why can't my stalkers at least look like Glenn Close while she was still semi-hot?

[BakedPenguin]

When was that? I never got Fatal Attraction. You give up Anne Archer for Glenn Close, you deserve what you get.

[JoshINHB]

She looked ok with whiskey goggle on.

[Kant feel Pietzsche]

Or Jennifer Jason Lee from "SWF"...
Or Leighton Meester from "The Roomate"....

Why do the females get all the hot stalkers? I get Rather. It's just not fair.

[Sovereign Immunity]

It could be worse, Kant. It could have been Nancy Pelosi. Or Lonewacko, AKA Chris Kelly.

Maybe Rather is hot and God's gift to the blogosphere. As you may be unaware, all hot, desirable, and mentally balanced women are up at 3 AM on a Saturday night (cue Bay City Rollers) furiously pounding a keyboard and arguing with a wall because they are obviously so in demand socially.

[heller]

As if we needed that clue to tell.

[Sovereign Immunity]

I also find it ironic this Rather (s/he?) is touting the unquestionable moral fiber of the decedent, RIP; yet Rather, s/he cannot live up to her/his high standards of personal integrity. Exhibit A:

Rather|2.5.11 @ 11:08PM|#

helle, I'm not talking to you till you admit you came to my website and posted three comments

I notice this Rather has been on quite a kick pointing out inconsistencies that offend her/his sensibilities, yet fails to live up to her/his standards by being constitutionally incapable of leaving you alone. And all that requires is simply incifing you or just refraining from addressing you.

Jesse is right: Rather has truly earned the RandyAyndy.

[Kant feel Pietzsche]

Well, the hot WOULD explain the crazy...

[Sovereign Immunity]

Physically attractive =/= bonkers with a side of fruit loops. I've met total loons who were not blessed by nature's paintbrush; conversely I have met plenty of women blessed by God's chisel who were quite sane and healthy.

Shut up, whore. I will never see any of your posts again momentarily, and good fucking riddance. I hope you die real soon.

What's that, you stupid cunt? Speak up. I can't hear you.

[heller]

1. I don't believe you.

2. Free speech has nothing to do with incifing someone on the internet.

3. You HAVE threatened me with being banned (without any ability to do so of course) for spoofing you.

4. Considering that you think every comment insulting to you is made by me, who are you to call me paranoid and stupid?

[Rather]

1. I've never seen the troll list, and couldn't give a fuck about it
2. I speak specifically on my website about my belief in never deleting any shit off, and Pat Dollard fans wrote some interesting things to me both on my blog and twitter-they are still there
3. threat? Don't be a baby, and yes, I know of someone who was spoofed and had the posts deleted.
4. Ahh, you made your bed-don't bitch about laying in it

I don't want them to starve. I just want the proper portion of society to voluntarily solve the troll problem. The serious people addressing the troll problem is a waste of resources and potentially dangerous.

An economist, a physicist, and an engineer are all trapped on a deserted island with only a single can of beans and no way to open it. The engineer says, "Lets climb a tree and drop the can causing it to rupture so we can eat." The Physicist says, "That's silly, we can just heat the can and the increase in pressure due to the expansion of the contents caused by the heat will cause the can to rupture." The economists looks at the other two and says, "You guys are freakin' idiots! Here's how you do it. First you assume a can opener..."

[MNG]

I will always hate Faster Pussycat. I'd read about the film as a teen-ager and rented it with high expectations of world-shaking nudity and there was none. Boo!

[Almanian]

Plus, the band "Faster Pussycat" ALSO sucked. So double suckage...

[MNG]

I mean, where the f*ck is the FTC when shameless movie markerters lead young men into believing their films will have nudity in them when they actually don't? This is one function of government I should think even you guys can get behind. Think of the rental fees wasted, the countless hours fast forwarding in vain...

[BakedPenguin]

I think your real beef is with the MPAA, not the FTC. And while they are a "voluntary" organization, so are the "ratings" that were developed after Tippy Gore thought bad words in music released too much CO2 or something.

See This Film Has Not Yet Been Rated for an overview of the random choices made for a film to be "PG-13" vs. "R" vs. "NC-17." Drugs and sex are more dangerous than violence? Fucking Saving Private Ryan should have been NC-17 (if any film should be.)

I mean, the original Requiem For a Dream was given a NC-17 rating. I respect Aaronofsky for refusing to remove a couple scenes to get his film an "R" rating. (The studio did it anyway, against his wishes.)

[Amakudari]

Well, I'm okay with the MPAA adjusting ratings for artistic content (e.g. Saving Private Ryan being R). I know that's subjective and the organization's not truly voluntary, but it's better an explicit policy than an implicit one, and unless radical changes are actually possible it's the best we have. And in practice, SPR is shown unedited on TV without complaints, so IMO it's fair to acknowledge the reality that context is important.

My real problem is what you said about priorities, and I'd add the secrecy of the ratings process. Things like weighting boobs higher than gratuitous violences, or a "fuck" worse than a "shit," or a gay kiss worse than a straight one -- all of which occur -- are better left to open debate. I'd probably still disagree with the results because our society's priorities are off-kilter regarding depicting pot use versus murder, but surely they can't be worse than the status quo. Firm knock on wood.

The fucked up thing is, the original writers that "broke" the Koch story, Ames and Levine, have been thoroughly discredited by Glenn Greenwald at Salon, and by "The Nation", who had to issue a formal apology for the piece they did on Meg McLain and the TSA protests. Ames and Levine may have about much journalistic integrity as Howard Stern, but their "work" lives on.

Yeah, we all know the National Wildlife Foundation is just a front for Sorosian Communism Mr. Brooks.

Boogeymen on the left indeed...

[hmm]

I love the critters, but just about any organization with the word "foundation" as its terminal word is both partisan and political in nature since they almost always seek funds or legislation from the government.

[Dooby Skoo]

"Nonpartisan" does not mean "non-ideological." Are you saying that the National Wildlife Foundation doesn't have political agenda that's generally leftist in composition? Because if you are, you're either being disingenuous or are genuinely ignorant.
