Ha, you guys know me so well. Lipstick came out on DVD a while ago, and it is in my (grossly long) Netflix list to give it a look at some point.
I will get back to ZP, but man, that film was kicking me ass. At least Trial of Billy Jack had bushels of that Laughlin non-stop insanity. ZP is more irksome because it's more placid. It's like beating the tar baby.
I will say that, given the respective nature of the films, I doubt the ZP review will be as funny (hopefully) as the Trial of Billy Jack piece was. But I'll leave that for others to judge.
PEGGY: I don't see how having a girl on the team would ruin it. Did a woman judge ruin the Supreme Court?
HANK: Yes, and that woman's name was Earl Warren.

I think the guy that made it wanted to make a serious commentary and while the kills are a bit ludicrous, it DOES present the rape itself as possibly the harshest, ugliest one ever filmed apart from maybe Irreversible. lipstick wants to have its cake and eat it too- it's the type of movie that goes "rape is awful- let's watch!!"
What about the rape scene in HOLOCAUST? Blanche Baker just rips your heart out. I'm delighted at the way her career has revitalized, by the way, she's got a whole bunch of new films coming out soon.
Did you know that rape is also the name of a plant in the mustard family? |

Well actually, I've never seen Holocaust. I imagine that just the context there would make that pretty rough viewing. I guess what makes the scene in ISOYG so grueling is basically down to the length- it doesn't stop. It make actually be 10, 12 minutes long.
BTW, I seem to remember both Siskel and Ebert hating it with a white-hot passion mainly for that reason. I need to look up the reviews on IMdB...
(did not know that about the mustard either!)

You never saw rape seed oil or rape (noun) on sale in a health food store? |

Nope- I've never shopped for exotic mustards/ oil derivatives. I'm just not a big condiment person. Although I find Curry-ketchup to be way cool. Now I'll have to go look...

Kenneth, just in case you are interested I'll mail you my leftover dvd from my own review.
'Gallery' was one of the most absolutly hilarious things I've ever seen; I think it would cost you more to rent it than they spent to make the flick.

Well, I assume the prescripton speed he was taking at the time to lose weight at least made Bill enthusiastic :)
