Via news from me: This is My Happening … [1], “Beyond The Valley of the Dolls
[2]”

Both Mark Evanier's [3] and Roger Ebert's [4] review of Beyond the Valley of
the Dolls [5] (even though Ebert's review isn't a review since he co-wrote
the movie) was intriguing enough that I now want to see this train wreck of a
movie, even if, my Mark Evanier's review, I don't have enough people to watch
it with me.

Maybe then I can see what it has to do with Pulp Fiction [6].
