Runaway (1984)
Tumblr media
You'll have loads of find watching Death Bed The Bed That Eats, The Room, Troll 2 or other “so bad they’re good” classics. What they won't necessarily have is that element of true surprise. You already know they're so bad they're good. I went into Runaway with no idea of what I was about to see. In no time, I was on the floor howling.
In the near future, robots are everywhere. Whenever one malfunctions (or becomes a “runaway”), Sgt. Jack R. Ramsay (Tom Selleck) deals with it. Karen (Cynthia Rhodes), but he assures the perky officer their job’s nothing glamorous. He only took the position to avoid  field work after his crippling fear of heights resulted in a family’s death. He rethinks how exciting the job might be when they investigate the first robot homicide in history.
The first and most obvious flaw with this film are the robots. In its attempt to make them realistic, director Michael Crichton (you read that right) has made them laughable. At no point do you ever believe a single one of them could be a viable threat. Ramsay cautiously walks into a home, careful not to step in the pools of blood left behind by the first killer robot. When you see the thing, your jaw drops. It’s essentially a shoebox on wheels with a single arm on the front. Not a humanoid arm capable of moving from side-to-side mind you, a single-hinged limb with a simple claw for a hand. I have a hard enough time believing the thing could move over a carpeted area, much less sneak up on two people and slice them to death. Now we’re supposed to believe the thing’s gotten even deadlier and picked up a gun? Please. Tom Selleck does his best to seem scared and the other actors try their hardest but in every scene you want to scream “just push the damn thing over on its side and run!”
If you’re not in stitches at the cheap-looking droids featured throughout, you’ll be delighted to see Jean Simmons playing the film’s villain. I know it’s supposed to be a twist but come on. From scene 1, you’d be comfortable sending the guy to the chair without any evidence. He’s the most suspicious-looking dude ever even before her glares and menaces those around him. Simmons doesn’t help. He hams it up like he’s single-handedly trying to drown ever vegetarian on Earth in meat. He’s beyond awful, which I guess perfectly matches how threatening his character and his shoddy-looking robots are? Maybe this was meant to be a comedy and simply mislabeled in the marketing department.
The laughs come non-stop when watching Runaway. If you aren’t the type of person who likes to talk back at the screen when watching a bad movie, you will be just a few minutes in. There’s no way you can help yourself. It’s a hidden bad movie gem. (On DVD, June 21, 2019)

I’ve just watched a movie scene containing Cynthia Addai-Robinson and JK Simmons talking and all could think if was:
“Oh, look, Stanford Pines met Amanda Waller!”

On this day, 17 June 2015, the Charleston church massacre took place in South Carolina when a 21-year-old white supremacist murdered nine Black worshippers at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. The racist entered the church during a Bible study group. After the session, the parishioners held hands in a prayer circle, at which point he pulled out a gun and began killing as many people as possible. Amongst the victims were Clementa C. Pinckney, 41; Cynthia Graham Hurd, 54; Susie J. Jackson, 87; Ethel Lee Lance, 70; DePayne Middleton-Doctor, 49; Tywanza Sanders, 26; Daniel L Simmons Sr., 74; Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, 45, and Myra Thompson, 59. Many people were angered by police double standards upon seeing the armed killer being peacefully apprehended by police, who then gave him a bullet-proof jacket and bought him a meal from Burger King. Whereas there had been a rash of police killings of unarmed Black people apprehended for much less serious alleged crimes, like Walter Scott who was shot to death after being spotted with a broken brake light.

the story of mandate
I have wrestled with sharing this in detail for many months, both because it is a goofy story and because, well, it is a goofy story.
I went on a protracted hunt for a number of months for the issue of Mandate (a gay pornographic magazine) in which KISS have an article, because Peter's book explicitly states it was the first magazine they ever got an article in (this is actually incorrect, but I wasn't aware of that at the time) and because I could find absolutely nothing online about the writeup itself, and I was very curious. (The text is here, and some rather lazy scans are here, if you are interested.) KISS fandom has a bit more focus on stuff like the guitars and albums (imagine that), and if there is a repository of old KISS articles, I've never found it. I've never even found where anyone posted the full text of Paul's Playgirl article, although that issue used to be easy enough to find.
That, I thought, was the end of it. It's a puff piece, even if the picture of Paul in particular is pretty nice and even if they refer to them as "boys" and their look as "spicy." An offbeat piece of KISStory (incidentally this was not KISS' first or only foray into gay magazines-- Paul, as mentioned, was in Playgirl, which while ostensibly marketed to women, had a majority gay male audience, and KISS was featured in After Dark in July 1974), that I could never unload on ebay with anywhere near the ease or success of, say, the KISS Hello Kitty Beanie Babies.
That was it, until over two years later, when--
I went to a Gene event with my dear friend @elrohare in May 2023. On a whim, I had brought the magazine along with a couple other more traditional things (the RARO and Love Gun albums), trying to decide which of these I should get him to sign for me. @elrohare as anticipated/hoped, encouraged me to get him to sign Mandate.
I was extremely torn. Mostly, though, I was worried he'd take it in a way I didn't mean it, like it was an attempt to embarrass him. I didn't, and don't, think there's anything shameful about them being in the magazine. It is not an indication of their sexuality.
But wouldn't it be neat to have a signature on Mandate, instead of a signature on, say, Rock and Roll Over? At the very least, it probably wasn't something he'd had thrust in his face often, if ever. Probably ever. While Gene is known for being exceptionally friendly regardless (at a price), I thought it might, if he was receptive, start an interesting conversation.
And if not, I had those stupid KISS baseballesque (bubblegum) cards he could sign instead.
The day came and we both were starting to regret what we had decided to do. Cynthia suggested I just turn the magazine straight to the page he was on so that Gene would hopefully ask no questions and simply, blindly, sign. I did exactly that. My nerves were so bad in general that I was shaking and Gene's handler was having to wave his little Gene-hand-puppet (he'd drawn Gene's makeup on his fingers and thumb) to distract me and Cynthia into calming down.
Not only did Gene know exactly what magazine it was, even with it turned to the correct page, he exclaimed "Mandate!" got a big smile on his face, said, "I'm texting Paul right now," stopped the entire meet and greet to text Paul, had me hold up the magazine for him to take a picture, which he then sent to Paul, and simultaneously made and ruined my life right then and there.
"Paul's in this. They thought he was--" and he kind of waved his hand.
"You're in it, too!"
"No, Paul is in it."
"But you're... okay, okay, Paul is in it..." One does not simply argue with Gene Simmons. I tried. "I...if you don't want to sign it I have baseball cards!"
He opened the magazine and then declares it to be sticky.
"It's not sticky..."
He licked his thumb and proceeded to smear it on the pages as he turned them. Slowly. He just kept on going and going and going. Page after page of black and white vintage pornography.
"Okay, where is it?" he said after awhile (apparently, even Gene can eventually tire of seeing naked people).
"Page eight!" I said, very, very, very quickly. Everyone laughed. "And Gene's on page 9!"
Gene did turn to page eight and nine. But instead, he proceeded to deface my copy of Mandate with his artwork. The mostly-naked blonde on the front cover suddenly and incredibly was graced with Paul's 1970's hair and star on his eye. I wailed "Geeeene" in a pretty pathetic squeak.
"Where do you want me to sign?"
"On your picture...." (inside the magazine) (which he did). I think, had I stopped with his signature, I would've preferred he sign it on the cover, by his artwork, but already I had an idea. An awful idea.
Let's call this the Mandate Reunion and leave it at that.
Several months later, immediately after an Ace concert, I found myself in front of Cynthia in line (we had to do this one individually). Ace's entourage gazed at Mandate magazine with great interest and murmuring. They were accustomed to records, posters, comic books. They had not seen it before. I have rarely heard great things about meeting Ace and was anticipating total silence, and Ace to just blindly sign as I'd thought that Gene would.
Ace did not.
Ace took one look at that magazine, recognized it immediately, and looked me dead in the eye, even with the sunglasses.
"That's gay." (His tone was as a statement of fact, not as a judgment/anything derisive.) "Paul is in it."
"You're in it, too. Page nine."
Ace did not acknowledge that he was, in fact, in it.
"Do you really want me to sign this?"
No, Ace, I just brought this to you so you could look at it. You never have seen a picture of yourself before.
"Yes!"
Ace acquiesced, signing by his picture (making sure his signature was larger than Gene's), and was so distracted he forgot to switch pens or ask my name (he will personalize one autograph for you and typically swaps pen colors throughout autographs), though he wished me a safe trip home.
Two out of four. Now I was obligated to try for Peter, who, happily, had deigned to do Mad Monster Atlanta, which would not require me to fly out or book a hotel. Unlike the other adventures, I couldn't do this one with Cynthia and had to fly solo. I had met Peter prior at Creaturesfest and he was incredibly kind to me-- even teased me, gently, for my high, somewhat squeaky voice. I did not think he would object too hard, but was curious. Would he, like Gene and Ace, immediately go to, "That's gay, Paul is in it," and never really admit he was in it, too? Would he have some odd inside information about how Bill had gotten them the magazine space?
None of the above.
Peter looked at that magazine, immediately said, with great interest, "Is that guy on the cover naked?"
"No, no, he's got a rug-thing... he's not naked."
"Who is that, is that David Lee Roth?"
"No, I actually don't know who it is." (Apologies for my less than stellar responses-- I should have, obviously, told him that Gene had been the one to doodle on the front cover-- but I could not believe he was responding like he was responding!)
"He's got a nice ass, though. I've seen all kinds of asses." He continued to talk about asses for a solid bit of time there, looking quite pleased with himself (I think I told him there were lots more in the magazine), though I don't remember what he said exactly.
Peter was so far removed from the gentleman-of-KISS image that, for some reason, Kissfaq enjoys espousing. It's almost like they think not trashing the rest of the band equates to sainthood and erases all memory of hotel romps, threesomes, orgies, and asses. It was incredible. Gigi looked completely and absolutely appalled, but she did manage to ask if I wanted it signed in black (to match the others), and I said yes, ma'am, and she handed him the pen. Then she said that I was "too nice a girl for this [I think she meant to hear this/have the magazine]" and I said, "Oh, I dunno about that, it is my magazine" as I departed.
I guess the real KISStory was the porno the OGs signed along the way.
In summary, I'd like to thank the wonderful @elrohare for aiding and abetting and being a thorough part of both this very ridiculous quest and throughout so many of my KISS misadventures. Something weird always happens with KISS, guaranteed.

2) Be nice.
3) People willing to rp as women too get priority. I don't like rp-ing women often, but I do mind if I'm playing women in all our rps. This one isn't an iron-clad rule (depending on my mood, how friendly we are, and so on, I won't mind playing the girl more)
4) I'm always open to asks, snippets, headcanon and the likes.
5) While most of my writings will be "one male and everyone else is a hot girl worshiping him", you can freely ask about other dudes, about au, and so on.
