BEST MOVIE TEASER NEVER USED… —– by Steve Nadis

On Thursday, my favorite movie theater (the Brattle) is showing “The Cockfighter,” a 1974 movie starring Warren Oates who plays a man who trains fighting cocks in Georgia. The movie (which I have not seen) is based on a novel (which I own, but have not read) written by Charles Willeford, a pulp novelist I am fond of. While looking up the movie online, I came across this fake tagline: “He came into town with his cock in hand, and what he did with it was illegal in 49 states.” As I said before, that’s gotta be the best movie teaser never used…

    I’m offended too, MP. As for which state, I’ll need to check the statutes circa 1974.

    Thanks WFW, I was worried that I’d pushed the bounds of bad taste.
