Christ! Are you awake????

IS Bush a Republican?????

So, everyone is gay except me around here.

[toiletduck!]

Omnisexual? Is that an option?

Well, no... in fact I wouldn't even say that we're in a straight minority, but it should seem pretty obvious that there's a nice sized gay contingent on the boards.

I'm straight ... does this mean Gigi and I get special privileges because we are in the minority?

Is it really that black and white anymore? [/snicker]

I'm attracted to women, but I've had 3 best friends come out in the past year, And that shook me up a bit, but now I'm fine with it. Living in Alberta, the most conservative province in canada, it's very easy spot the prejudice in the minds of the people here. We are so close-minded, sometimes. If there is one thing I have come to believe through my experience with Film as a whole (foreign, low budget, mainstream, whatever) is that I support LOVE. Boy Girl, Boy Boy, Girl Girl (preferably ), Boy Girl Girl, Boy Boy Girl. It's all beautiful(as long as it's entirely mutual) and it's why we are here. Anyways, sorry for bringing my honest opinion into our second "I'm Gay!"-"I'm not..." thread. Maybe we should have a poll, haha.

You mean like "I'll fuck anything that moves"? Frank style?

Or maybe a David Cronenberg, Shivers type of thing: "talking is sexual, breathing is sexual, to physically exist is sexual."

Polls are so totally back!

After some quick research (i.e. dictionary.com), it turns out omnisexual is an option. But it's synonymous with pansexual -- not really what I was going for. I'm thinking sexual like God is sexual, cause you KNOW that he/she/it's just getting it left and right. Hell, who wouldn't bite their pillow for God? There are entire convents and monastaries saving themselves for him. And can you imagine the repercussions if you said no?

Besides, he's making the rules anyway, it's not like it matters to him. "Thou shall not spill thy seed." Yeah, easy for you to say, buddy, you've got Marilyn, Cleopatra and River Phoenix hanging out up there.

Straights only get special privileges if they sleep with the gays.

And gays always get special privileges cause we're, uh, gay.

That's my new motto for this month!

Why limit yourself?

Ever seen those Roman busts of Cleopatra? Not that hot, man. Dumpy, even.

I stand corrected. Those three might be a bit awkward even for the big man himself.

Yeah, doesn't the sign on the way in read "You are now entering Alberta. Welcome to Texas-North, eh?"

[ianungstad]

Alberta isn't that bad. I live in downtown Edmonton, and I've never really had a problem with homophobia. The rural towns, different matter. Though that probably goes the same in most places.

It very well could. Ianungstad is right, it's more of a rural thing, and Red Deer is kind of inbetween. I remember this one time at work when an employee told Flamboyant Jay, "I think all fags should be round up and shot." That was kind of normal coming from the man who said it. but while outside, I overheard someone high-up in our callcenter (who escorted the perp out of the building only hours earlier) tell someone else that they agreed with what he said but, "we have corporate values to uphold!".

Just watched "Tribute To A Goddess" and to my surprise it was about sex in movies up til the 60's. I wonder if this is to be included as an extra with Pandoras Box. Very entertaining! I only watched Grifit's "Birth Of A Nation" and was not aware he displayed nudity in a clever way in his first movies.

The Hard core edition of Radley Metzger's bi Score? (The Image disc is cut to ribbons.)

Cult Epics recently released a newly remastered DVD of SCORE with 9 more minutes (I said MINUTES!). I haven't had a chance to look at my review copy (and I'll be personally reviewing this since my friend Jerry Douglas wrote it), so I don't know if it's the previously missing hard-core footage or not. But I thought you might like to know, David.

[Cinephrenic]

That's disturbing. 9 more minutes of foreplay gone to waste.

[jbeall]

Can we bring this thread back to discussion of Nina Hartley's ass?

[ianthemovie]

Has anyone been following the ongoing efforts of Distribpix to release Metzger's Opening of Misty Beethoven on DVD and Blu? I just read through the last several months' worth of posts on their blog (http://distribpixblog.wordpress.com/) and it's fascinating... it sounds like they spared no expense to painstakingly restore and remaster the film, commission new cover art, track down all kinds of special features, etc. Then they apparently tried to raise funds for the Blu-Ray release on Kickstarter and got kicked off the site for promoting adult-oriented material. Distribpix then raised almost $12,000 from fans--in 10 days--on their own. That was back in June; no news on the blog since then, which is strange because they were updating pretty regularly until then.

I'm hoping the project hasn't been aborted due to some other snafu. This really looks like a stunning release--possibly the closest we'll come to seeing an adult film getting a Criterion-caliber DVD release.

From the blog:

In no particular order, the package will contain the following material:

•The Opening of Misty Beethoven – Original Uncut “Hot” Version: HD transfer, with frame by frame restoration and color correction, 1.85:1 presentation. Includes a 5.1 AUDIO MIX sourced from the original MAG TRACKS and the Original MONO sound.

•The Opening of Misty Beethoven – Original Uncut “Soft” (less explicit) Version, including additional scenes not included in the “Hard” version. HD transfer, automated correction. 1:85.1 presentation, Original MONO sound.

•Full Length Director Commentary on Hard Version with Radley Metzger, moderated by adult film guru Benson Hurst. Excellent, the best one yet!

• Full Length Commentary on Soft Version with co-star Gloria Leonard,recorded last week.

•SUBTITLE TRACKS in 6 languages on both HARD AND SOFT VERSIONS-(12 total subtitle tracks)- ENGLISH, SPANISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, PORTUGUESE, ITALIAN

•All 5 Original Henry Paris trailers, transferred in HD- 25 min

•HD VIDEO FEATURES :

Remembering Jamie Gillis- a touching 10 minute tribute to the legend narrated by Jamie’s best friend, Benson Hurst.

Desperately Seeking Susan: Constance Found – a brief introduction to this elusive and legendary icon, and hints as to what she may be up to today.

The Restoration of Misty – a half-hour long journey into the restoration of Misty. Includes film lab footage, interviews with the experts, examples of the process, before/after comparison, and more!

The Outtakes – an amazing selection of never-before-seen silent outtakes from the set of Misty Beethoven. WOW!!

Behind The Scenes of Misty Beethoven - by far our most impressive video feature to date, this one combines a very large sampling of just about everything about the making of Misty. What makes this such a wonderful feature is that is is presented as a documentary, combining archival footage and photos with several brand new HD interviews conducted specifically for this release. I am talking about contributions by famed cinematographer, Paul Glickman, as well as actress Gloria Leonard and legendary music director, George Craig. It really is an impressive feature and will run 45 minutes or longer.

Wasn't this ended when the supplement came out where Oshima call his own film pornographic?

[Niale]

Anybody here keen on the movie Body Love? I think its one of the best. GREAT soundtrack by Klause Schulze AND the only orgy scene that I ever thought of as suspenseful. A ton of oddball shit to puzzle over, In a good way, as well as decent laughs if you'r high enough.
