From darkhorizons, Liz Smith reports that exploitation cinema's biggest champion Quentin Tarentino is keen on remaking Russ Meyer's cult campy soft-porn 1965 classic "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!".
The original followed three thrill-seeking strippers who come upon a couple in the desert. Killing the boyfriend, they take the girl hostage and hide out on a secluded ranch owned by a wheelchair-bound redneck farmer and his two dim-witted sons. Trying to locate the man's hidden fortune, they seduce the sons to learn of the secret - soon all hell breaks loose.
Tarantino wants his version to be even raunchier, and his first choices are Kim Kardashian, Eva Mendes and none other than Britney Spears for the roles.

Sounds like a good fit. I love that damn movie.
I love the 80's hair metal band Faster Pussycat even more. You may remember their modest hit power-ballad "House of Pain" but the whole Wake Me When It's Over album is one of the best of the genre. In fact, out of all the crappy 80's metal bands I used to love (and there's a lot of them - LA Guns, Enuff Z'nuff, Skid Row, Warrant, White Lion, Great White, Poison, Extreme, Every Mother's Nightmare, Tesla, Winger, Bang Tango, London Quireboys, Shotgun Messiah to name a few) they are at the very top of my secret shame list. I saw them play in Newport, RI well past their prime a few years back. Taime Downe was fat and his clothes were a little too nazi-like for comfort. There were about 7 people in the audience but they still rocked my ass to the bone.

I forgot Trixter. How on earth could I have forgotten Trixter? You may or may not recall their song "Don't Treat Me Bad".
All I know is that when I was working in the record store "Specs" in Key West, all the foreign kids who worked on the cruise ships would come in looking for White Lion - every single one of 'em.
PS - this was in 1995.
