In winter, especially around Christmas, the desire to stay at home and watch some classics (Trading Places, Home Alone, Polar Express & Co. …) is strong. In the summer, however, in the height of August, there’s the sea, the mountains, and outdoor relaxation in general.
Of course, there's work too, for those lucky enough to enjoy the famous smart vacations in October/November and February/March (my envy is constructive, not destructive XD).
For those who want to spend a bit less than two hours on the couch or in their bed with the air conditioning blasting or the fan running at full speed, dressed exclusively in old, faded, and elastic-less underwear, I recommend watching Coffy, from 1973, directed by Jack Hill, a cult classic from the blaxploitation era, featuring the superb Pam Grier as the vengeful nurse against a corrupt and corrupting black mafia.
Among fans of ’70s black music, one of the albums that’s a must-have in collections is the OST by Roy Ayers.
I won’t explain more about the plot so as not to ruin the effect, I’ll just leave you with a line spoken by Coffy/Pam before one of her revengeful acts: “This is the end of your rotten life, you motherfuckin' dope pusher!”
(I hope it doesn't get flagged for some nudity)
