I went online and ordered a few more, all of them with their vintage
sleazoid covers.
You'll need to give your telly a wash after letting this
sleazoid gunk it up for an hour.
The most highly anticipated--and not just dancewise--is surely The Producers, based on the hilarious Mel Brooks film about two endearingly
sleazoid con men who inadvertently produce a hit musical.
The challenge is to connect those stories with each other, to see them as part of a larger, shared story, rather than as freakish tales fit for the
sleazoid talk shows.
Another
sleazoid talk show, "Ricki Lake" (a repeat airing no less), also holds down third place during the time period from roughly midnight to 1 a.m.
The character sketches collectively provide a good reminder that the communes were inhabited by individual persons, not undifferentiated stereotypical
sleazoid hippies, as so many contemporary popular press accounts that constituted most Americans' primary conduit of information about communes insinuated.
Young student Bartek (Amil Mackowiak) has the makings of first-class
sleazoid businessman, a natural product (suggests Stuhr's script) of Poland's new, anything-for-a-zloty economy.
He also has the advantage of an excellent set of foils, including Tom Sizemore (currently the
sleazoid of choice in Hollywood) as the tough guy who kicks off the plot and Don Cheadle as Easy's sometime sidekick from Houston, a man who gets big laughs from the audience by living out for Easy his own worst possibilities.
Playing for laughs whenever possible, undercutting Michael Douglas's beleaguered White Man with Dennis Miller's
sleazoid Wise Guy and (best of all) packing every corner of the film with women who are simply more interesting than the men, Levinson and Attanasio have turned the dumb, polemical premise of Crichton's book into that harmless staple of pop moviemaking, the ol' switcheroo.
Energized by a strong selection of songs from the period, "Call Me" moves quickly into Fleiss' May-December relationship with
sleazoid director Ivan Nagy (a terrific Robert Davi), who quickly pimps her out to Madam Alex ("My Left Foot's" Brenda Fricker).
