Let’s be Jinxed!

I’m Bonita Friml, the campiest character name in the history of cinema.

Bette is a cunt.

R1 is Ken Wahl

Gene Shalit surely didn't mince words when he told her that Jinxed was terrible.

One of the absolute worst casting choices in movie history. It needed a Jessica Lange or Kim Basinger or Michelle Pfeiffer. Instead, they got Midler.

In her entire life Bette Midler was never as skinny as the image on the poster.

I'm that poster, which promises a hilarious blonde bombshell- but what we got was a cranky, fugly midget.

Bette IS Jessica Rabbit.

The song from the movie is cute & campy, such an early 80s sound

Bonita Friml sounds like a womyn’s Trans name.

Years ago i read a Vanity fair profile of this movie. When it was made, Midler had just finished "The Rose," and p[laying that part had taken an enormous strain on her mental health. She would have panic attacks on the ste of this one and start hysterically screaming, "I'M BECOMING THE ROSE! I'M BECOMING THE ROSE!" Eventually she had some sort of breakdown.

Adding to the problems were the fact that she and Ken Wahl couldn't stand each other.

Bette did alright with Jinxed in that she took scenes from the movie and spoofed them in her act. It was hilarious how much she hated that movie and Ken Wahl

Interviewer: "Ken, what was it like doing love scenes with Bette Midler"

Ken Wahl: "I had to pretend I was kissing my dog to get through them"

😂

[quote] Friml, the campiest character name

The name 'Friml' is sacred to all the Austrian /Jewish/Hungarian/Eastern European power-brokers who ran (and continue to run) the Hollywood Dream corporations.

I just remember the whole movie felt claustrophobic.

I am Ken Wahl's enormous, meaty, veined schlong. I'm as big around as a beercan and my tip can punch a woman in the uterus when I'm thrusting.

I am completely wasted on a straight man and the Barbi twins.

R16, someone close to Ken Wahl in the comments under that tweet said that's not him in the pic.

I’m the boner of the teenaged version of myself staring at Ken Wahl as this awful movie ran on HBO in the middle of the night.

I’m the rolls of unsold tickets.

I'm Bette's tootsie roll

I am Ken Wahl's incessant, daily use of the n-word and "f@ggot" on the set of "Jinxed."

I love this movie. Such an underrated gem that should be a gay cult classic.
