Ah those were the days, sonny, when the man of the house controlled the TV with the same aplomb with which he never, ever yielded the driver's seat of the family's second-hand DeSoto.
ReplyDeleteYes, we've gone from the driver's seat of the family DeSoto to discovering that "love is just a mouse-click away."
ReplyDeleteProgress.
By the way, Online Crush isn't listed on the Internet Movie Database, but judging from Tiffany Tyler's other film credits -- e.g., Blow Me Sandwich 14 -- I'm guessing it wasn't directed by Erich von Stroheim.
And what does "Blow Me Sandwich" mean anyway? Sounds like something from an old Popeye cartoon. "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a blow me sandwich today ..."
