BLOGTOBER 10/28/2023: BAD RONALD
"The bathroom--it's perfect! You'll be able to live in decency and cleanliness...and no one will know."
This is so much fun. A made-for-TV classic adapted from the above Jack Vance novel, BAD RONALD stars Scott Jacoby (who would play the teen magician in THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE a few years later) as a nerdy outcast who accidentally murders a snotty little girl for making fun of him. His overbearing mother secrets him away within the walls of their house, where he's meant to live until some undefined future date when it's safe to come out. This day will never arrive, as his mother dies and leaves him all alone--that is, until Dabney Coleman moves his cute teenage daughters into Ronald's house. He decides to make one of them his bride, absorbing her into the fantasy world he has created in his mind.
I really wish the internet had more pictures of Ronald's deco-y fantasy art, which is pretty interesting! Genre film luminary Kim Newman suggests that novelist Jack Vance could possibly have drawn on the Parker-Hulme murder case for inspiration, which later provided the basis for Peter Jackson's HEAVENLY CREATURES. I can't vouch for exactly how likely that could be, but it's an intriguing notion. In any case, Ronald's outsider art career adds a cool splash of color to this weird, brisk little movie. I dug it.
Oh but PS if you're a certain kind of person you may have noticed that there is a new unscripted Lifetime series called Phrogger: Hider In My House, and if you've been on the fence about watching it, I can at least tell you that the first episode features one of the weirdest stories I have ever heard.

When Major Charles Rane (William Devane) returns home to San Antonio, Texas, he is given a hero's welcome. He and his friend John Vohden (Tommy Lee Jones) had endured eight years of physical and mental torture in a POW camp.
Adjusting to his old life isn't going to be easy for Rane. His wife Janet has fallen in love with another man, and his son doesn't remember him. The publicity he receives as a returning hero has attracted the attention of a group of hoodlums. When the group kills Rane's wife and son and leaves him for dead, he and Vohden team up to hunt them down.
