They were, at least for a while, the only X-rated films in the MoMA film collection.

I've actually heard both of those, not being homosexual, I never gone out of my way to see them. However, being a fan of such work as Scorpio Rising and Un Chant D'Amour, the avant-garde aspect of both those films intrigue me. If an opportuniy arose, I might watch them. However, the idea of a man and a motorcycle sounds a little too extreme, but I guess that's the avant-garde side for you (that is the film, right).

Not to mention Nina back inna day (maybe today too, all connected to how often Nina and a gym been crossing paths these days) had the most incredible fucking ass inna galaxy; tho I should correct myself-- except for one stunt performance (you never saw All Of Nina Including Her Face While A Schtup Was In Her Ass... stunt double via editing reputedly if memory serves) inna anal flik-- Nina never availed her rump to any humpus bumpus-rumpus which is just a shame already. Her ass really was a innaresting and incredible thing indeed. I have buried away someplace a solid vid of her in her mid-80's Grade A prime getting flumped by 3-5 guys... then ending the film with the spoot-king Peter "A half-gallon-and-counting" North dumping quart after quart of his wonder wine on her lovely outstretched tongue, like holy communion. The film, a John Stalgiano prod called GANG BANGS, also features the booblicious Christy Canyon jiggling her way thru one of her very first scenes ever (her bobbed hair bairly made it down to her shoulders yet), which was a gangbang w 5 genuinely drunk & slurring guys in biker outfits & chains on a pool table, she dressed at a spoiled bratty rich girl merely wanting a "beer".

Yes Nina really was a interesting thing. "..pure as NY snow.. Shes got Betty Davis Eyes..."

The Devil In Miss Jones

One of the top-selling adult titles of all-time, 1973's The Devil In Miss Jones arrives on October 31st from Media Blasters. Sexually frustrated, disillusioned and in her mid-30s, Justine Jones (Georgina Spelvin) decides suicide is her only escape. Too sinful for Heaven and too chaste for Hell, she's returned to earth where she must rethink her existence. Given a second chance at life, she chooses Hell as her ultimate destination and opts for a life of unbridled lust and sexual depravity. Featuring a newly remastered transfer, the set promises lots of extras including a commentary with director Gerard Damiano and an interview with Georgina Spelvin. Retail is $29.95.


Debbie Does Dallas

Beautiful young Debbie Benton (Bambi Woods) wants to audition for a spot on the "Texas Cowgirl" cheerleading squad. But she doesn't have enough money to get there. So she and her friends devise a plan to raise the money themselves by performing sexual favors for men. Media Blasters, via their "Raincoat Theater" line, will release Debbie Does Dallas: Ultimate Edition on November 7th. No actual specs have been revealed yet, but the porn classic will feature a newly remastered transfer and loads of extras. Retail will be $29.95.

I always thought that David Lynch could make a wonderful porn flick.

yeah... that scene near the end of Lost Highway (in the desert, in the car headlights) is probably one of the most beautifully shot sex scenes ever put on celluloid

I can envision a film like "Emmanuelle" (1974) to be deemed worthy of Criterion. It's somewhat classy as far as porn goes, and quite women-friendly. It attempts to be erotic first, pornographic second. It doesn't have too many scenes of actual intercourses, but a lot of tastefully composed shots of the female body. E.g. closeup of a woman's head leaning on the beautifully arched naked back of another woman. The Anchor Bay DVD is out of print, so I'm actually wishing someone would pick this up. This film is certainly historically significant enough to be worthy of a Criterion release.

Just remembered that me and my best friend used to share porn movies back in the 80's when we were teens. One day he returned some movies and asked me if I watched the one with Randy West and I went "yeah, she's hot" :shock:
I guess my focus was not with their names!

Kind of a silly question but where can I find the porn films Lars von Trier has been producing if I wanted to buy them online? I heard that he's done a gay one and been curious ever since.

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.

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 :P ), 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.

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

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.

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

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