Must admit that I too thought Alexis Texas was from the Hannah Montana show. Checked Ms. Texas on Google, and might save the links so, ah, I could avoid clicking on them in the future.
That being said, thanks for clarifying some of the puns, they don’t always land the first time for me, since I’m not a native speaker 🙂

It’s not Ronin, it’s Running Scared. It’s not DiNiro, it’s Billy Crystal. And Gregory Hines. And a malaise era car chase in Chicago…with a nun…and a priest. And Jimmy Smits. And the El tracks. Watch here https://youtu.be/a1Sr3GwdtRs?si=ByO8l_Ne4D-zPZWa (no Alexis Texas or Rickroll, I promise!)

Or David is thinking Taxi Driver, a 1976 movie where a messed up Travis Bickell played by Deniro drives a Taxi around NYC developes an infatuation with a 14 year old prostitute played by Jodie Foster and plans to win her love by shooting the president.

Oh Disney… What have you become?
Once just the harbinger of playful animated stories where all the parental figures die leaving the hero of the story to fend for themselves against a constant onslaught of stereotypically dark skinned villains. Now a ….
Never mind. You do you Disney.

Hanna Montana…
I’m sure Lexus Texas is in the works at their studios, so long as the bean counters think it will make money.

Yup, Disney porn is right around the corner. Should we choose to live long enough to see it.

You’re betting on the Lexus Texas ?

I call with the Mitsubishi Pajero and raise with the Isuzu Big Horn. For those not familiar with Spanish, Pajero basically means self-gratification.

This thread reminds me of my developmental psychology class in college when we were learning about sexuality. At one point our professor, who was definitely a babe, turned to the entire lecture hall and asked everyone who’d masturbated before to raise their hand. Some giggling ensued, some people raised their hands rather enthusiastically, but a good 3/4s of the room sat silent.

She then laughed and said that statistically speaking nearly the entire room likely had and that lots of folks were too bashful to acknowledge it in a public forum like that, which led to further discussion. Anyway, I feel like her reading through this thread.

Suuuuuuuuure, commentariat! Almost none of you have any idea who Alexis Texas is. Right. Totally!

Jenna Jameson, Chasey Laine (thanks to that one Bloodhound Gang song), I would have gotten right away. I did not recognize Alexis Texas at first read. But if you asked me to really think about the type of profession that obvious stage name might have, I think I would have got there.

I’m no prude, but Lexus Texas does not drive in the same lane (hell, the same carriageway) of Pornography Boulevard as I. I don’t think David has that excuse, though.

Completely separately from all these shenanigans (I too had never heard of Ms. Texas) since you briefly mentioned it, Midnight Run is my favorite movie of all time. If you’ve not seen it I highly recommend. It’s very nearly perfect.

Huh. I am…. uh, the target demographic for Alexis Texas, and am familiar with the other stars you mentioned, but this is the first I’ve heard of her. Apparently I’ve been missing this reference the whole time too.

The French Connection cannot be full of Malaise Era cars because it was filmed before the Malaise Era. I know there’s not a set definition for that, but according to Murilee Martin who coined the term, it started in 1975, whereas the Malaise Motors group starts at 1972. Either way, both are after 1971 when The French Connection was filmed.

If you know who Alexis Texas is, you don’t need me to explain it. If you don’t know, I would not recommend googling it.

I blame everyone who made this joke about the Lexus TX. I didn’t know until then, haha.

Also, how did Lexus themselves not Google that?! It’s right there. Companies either need someone so old-internet that nothing with SafeSearch off can even phase them or someone who’s just horniness incarnate to run potential model names by beforehand.

I think your French Connection theory is probably correct. I have a possible alternative though. In the movie The Score, which is a heist movie, DeNiro drives a malaise era Chrysler a bit. Although it is set in Montreal, and there are no car chases.

As for DeNero movies, how about Taxi Driver? Or Goodfellas?

I’m going to vote for Seven and Ronin. What’s in the Box? What’s in the case? It’s either a light bulb or Marcellus soul. Maybe a new battery for the Leaf.

I think he conflated French Connection with Ronin. Seen them both a bunch of times. And it is French Connection and Ronin was in Fance.

First off, I am a bit saddened to learn a simple reference to an adult entertainer got a COTD scrubbed. I know you are trying to be inclusive and female-friendly around here, but I thought modern feminism included acknowledging adult entertainers as independent women allowed to use their bodies as they choose, without judgement?

As for “Ronin”, “French Connection” was my first thought, but did “Serpico” have any car chases? That was a 70s movie with Pacino that took place in New York. I can’t see even David confusing 90s LA in “Heat” with malaise era NYC, especially since he lives there now.

^. I thought it was funnier when I thought that was actually Hannah Montana’s alter ego. As it sits, I don’t really find it funny.

Also, maybe it WAS Serpico!

Dude this is a fairy tale take on the industry. It’s tied up with human trafficking, addiction, and consent is questionable. For every empowered free-thinking sex worker you have a bajillion women suffering from abuse.

The anti-slut-shaming is towards the performers, not the industry. No doubt human trafficking is a serious problem.

But I think Ms. Texas is performing willingly and, at 38 yrs old, has a higher net worth (est. $4M) than me at 57 with 35 yrs in high tech.

So THAT’s what happened. 😮

I saw the COTD comment and then the retraction/edit and didn’t understand what was happening, thinking maybe DT didn’t want to exert undue editorial influence on the COTD process.

FWIW I had no idea who Ms. Texas was/is, either, but Lexus (collectively) appears to be an even bigger dope than I am in this regard.

I’m thinking he put together every type of mob movie in his head and made some amalgam. Like when everyone thought Shazam starring Sinbad was a thing.
