this week i finished reading this book:
which is literally amazing. the movie doesn't even begin to do it justice.
last night i watched this movie:
well, actually, i watched the main feature which was "the pigkeeper's daughter" and turned out to be a porn film. maybe i'm just amazingly naive, but i was shocked that it was a porn film. reviews i'd read of it talked about the acting and plot and didn't mention that it was a porn film. well some of the reviews talked about it being "softcore" but i had figured that just meant that there was a lot of nudity, where as this movie features full on penetration.
that being said, this is actually the sleaziest movie i have ever seen. there could have been no penetration and this still would have been hands down the sleaziest movie i've ever seen. the sex isn't even that deviant, nothing other than missionary position, woman on top, and implied oral sex. i can't even describe how it is sleazy. it just how it was filmed. it's literally unbelievable. the director employed all these little camera tricks that show you the view from the position of the male leads. and the dialogue is just wrong. there is a scene where a guy explains to his virgin girlfriend how he can go "around her maidenhead".
this movie is from the seventies so it was shot on film for the big screen, and i can only imagine what that looked like.
also, i recently bought this album:
which i like a lot, and if any one wants to see them in nyc on friday, please contact me, unless they are already sold out.
