Our Valentine’s special, about a wealthy man driven to distraction by some great, surrealist cock-teasing, wrought by interchangeable beauties brought another surprisingly good turnout. Our parlor was filled with either couples or singles who came alone… therefore all qualified for the 2-for-1 drinks special! Buñuel’s That Obscure Object of Desire was highly entertaining and provoked an unexpected “Which one do you like?” debate… the two Conchitas were both stunning, but were perceived quite differently… one, a hot-blooded Latina, and the other, a perfect porcelain icicle. The debate continues.

Ironically, although I consider myself to be something a movie buff (no shit), it somehow escaped me that Fernando Rey, who played the lead role, was also “Frog 1” in The French Connection. Norris pointed that out to me about 20 minutes in, and that kept a smile on my face for the rest of the movie. Duh.
