RIP Russ Meyer


Russ Meyer, the filmmaking legend responsible for such sexploitation atrocities masterpieces as "The Immoral Mr. Teas", "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!", and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", has passed away at age 82. He lived a long life, full of glamour and boobies. All of us should be so lucky. Fleshbot, naturally, has more: Link. Rest in peace, Mr. Meyer.

Some timeless quotes from "Faster, Pussycat!":

(The climatic finale)
Linda: I killed her - like she was an animal! Like she was nothing!
Kirk: She was nothing - nothing human!

(Billie throws Rosie a can of beer to calm her down.)
Bille: Here Rosie baby, pop the top before you blow your own!

Tommie: What's the point?
Varla: It's of no return, and you've reached it!

(thanks also to Caines, Jean-Luc, and others who suggested).
