Gonna start putting up a link to a interesting gallery instead of my yahoo group, so click away & post somethin'.

BTW, I did a search on this Sweetmagic2000. He has a whopping 18 negative feedbacks in the past year, including 7 this past month alone. I also notice he never mentions the word "Insex" in any of his descriptions of what are clearly Insex productions. Sneaky, huh?

Above is a link for the aforementioned Paige video, one way you can buy an Insex production legally.

So, Keep on Gimpin' (whatever that means)

I reviewed Open House and The Stepbrother on the board in the past; they are both in my Forbidden Video Reviews section (URL above). The Stepbrother is the original title for what later became Sleepy Time Fun. I'm not why they retitled it. Also, the copy of Open House I reviewed was an edited one that had the ending rape scene severely shortened...the DVD they sell now is uncut and improved. I gave both movies grades of B-. Each one could have been improved, but they are both worth getting, IMO.

the quicktime videos from forbidden video are running smoothly on my mac.

The reason I bring the subject up is because I'm going through a 'Pam Grier' stage, yes the beautiful and Iconic brown skinned siren...wheeew!, those memorable curves and eternal perfect huge tits big enough to suckle elephants, which say: "I'm all woman".The sort of figure perfect for bondage and all sorts of devious pleasures!!!!. Most younger gimpers will remember her in recent films like 'Jackie Brown' and 'Fakin' De Funk', but true Gimpers will be more comfortable watching her through the motions in sex-ploitation films like "Women in Cages" (apparently the title inspired Steely Dan to write a song about it, called: 'Razor Boy') and The Big Doll's House, brilliant stuff!!. Go to your local video store and revisit these gems.

Ah yes,Women in Cages! A classic W.I.P. (Women In Prison) flick loaded with some great bondage and torture scenes. Pam got tied up in that one, too, but I preferred seeing her dishing it out against Judy Brown and Roberta Collins.

Thanks to Hank Hobbs for his vidcaps.

BTW Hank, with googlegroups.com and xratedgroups.com, there are a couple of options for you if you want to set up a new home for your Hank's Vidcaps group. Both are similar to Yahoo, but they appear to be adult-friendly, and I haven't seen any of the anti-adult purging that Yahoo has become infamous for. It would be worth checking out either one of them if you want to start over again. I know hundreds of GIMPers and others would love to see you up and running again.

Saw SNAP tonight. Review coming soon, but here's a teaser. This is a good one.

I, for one, am definitely one of those who is dying for yo to resurface. I have followed your groups from MSN to Lycos to Yahoo. I can understand your frustration, but we would love to have you back.

By the way, prior to its demise, did anyone else think that Lycos had the best format for groups?

Well retirement is 4 days away. So I expect that I will soon get back to capping and look for a place to put them.Thanks for your 2 tips, Iwill check them out.

Stay Tuned.

"Hank"

Regards and Keep it up mates! (in more ways than one)

But as you know -- no distress by the actress in these flicks leave everyone dry. So how were the emotional responses in Open House and Stepbrother series? Did it leave you with an impression that there was some realism or was it more like a mechanical exercise. Thanks again as usual for all your insights..

Did a short video shoot (forgot to take pictures) of Blue. Should have some clips up on OrcaHouse soon. Mostly breast torment (the bruises are healing nicely).

Not too many black bondage models, Hogtied has had a few, there is a site called ebonybondage. However Sinnamon Love goes all out to compensate (I met her a couple of years ago and she just oozes sexuality & submission). I just hired a new dancer, Leilani, who is black, mayb she will want to make a few extra dollars...

Take care & Keep On Gimpin' !

Obviously, PD at Insex gets black models on occasion, my favorites being Erika from several years back and a very sexy girl in the latest "tests" update.

Also, "Master Costello", a German dom, had a black model who claimed to be from Detroit, but her accent sounded actually African - that DVD can be found here: http://www.hc-medien.com/s01.php?sid=732a9eb8d9868940cf487ee96d417aac&shopid=s01&cur=eur&sp=en&ag=1&os=1&br=1&pp=aa&bnr=27460

Quick poll for my fellow GIMPer's.

What TGP do you use most for your free bondage pix?

My current fave is citizencane.org

Another limitation both those movies had was that the villain was forced to be silent during all attack scenes. In both films, he was wearing a mask and couldn't talk for fear of being found out. If either party is quiet during a bondage rape scene, it can tend to make things a bit less exciting and possibly a bit more mechanical and less emotional.

I liked the rape scenes in both movies enough to include them in my personal highlights tapes, though.

I do agree that certain ZFX and Japanese vids do make you forget the girl is acting and help to intensify the action. It's why casting the right girl is the most important aspect toward creating a successful production. Get the right girl with a combination of looks and acting chops and you're more than halfway there.

Retirement?

Hank must be older than I thought, but good for him. I'm sure he has earned it. I hope his money lasts longer than he does.

I, too, have followed Hank from MSN to Yahoo and all over.

Lustful obsession in the office is the theme of Forbidden Video's latest release, SNAP, which continues Forbidden's successful comeback with an ever better offering this time around.

The story is perfectly crystallized in the first minutes, when we see Tim, the boss' son, sitting at his desk staring at his lovely coworker Miss Jenkins. He's clearly obsessed by her. In a voice over, we hear him say that both loves her and hates her, because he knows he will never have her. That's really all we need to know, but it takes a while to get to the good stuff.

In my opinion, the first 20 minutes are filler and don't really add much to the production. It's merely a series of fantasy sequences in which Tim is fantasizing about having sex with Miss Jenkins. She's certainly lovely, and we get to see her naked and fondled, and sucking his cock, but the action is totally consensual and a bit silly, too.

But Tim's fantasy ends and harsh reality takes over when he wanders by her desk and overhears her phone conversation. She's telling a friend what an obsessive creep he is (good observation) and this causes him to...well..."snap", and launch a nasty plan of revenge against her.

After tricking her into staying late, sending everyone home and locking just the two of them inside the office, he confronts her and ends up grabbing her and forcing her down against a desk. He yanks her panties down and violently molests her pussy with his finger. She bashes him in the head and tries to escape, but that just makes him madder.

After tracking her down and choking her into submission (very nice), Miss Jenkins awakes to find herself naked and tied spreadeagled in the doorway between the side of the gate and its sliding metal door. Her mouth is securely duct taped. Tim helps himself to her beautiful bound body while she reacts with muffled moans and screams through her gag. After searching through her purse and discovering a vibrator, he slides the door open wider, suddenly forcing her limbs even farther apart, an ingenious touch. She can only loudly scream and cry as he forces the vibe into her pussy and fucks her with it. Truly a great scene.

Does it ever bother anyone how in most bondage films, there's a quick edit between scenes and the next time we see the girl, she's tied in a new position? This one doesn't cheat us. We get to see Tim make the transition from removing the ropes on her ankles and tying them to a sawhorse, but leaving her hands still bound. It's only after her feet are secured that he moves onto tying the struggling girl's hands to the sawhorse, too. He ties her so that she's bent over face down on the hard wood, with her wrists and ankles tied to the legs of the horse.

He pushes the sawhorse, with its screaming bound passenger, out into the middle of the floor. After sticking his finger into her wet pussy, he follows that up with his cock, raping her so hard from behind that the sawhorse slides forward across the floor with every thrust. Great muffled crying by her, lots of nasty wordplay by him. Then he turns in front of her and rips the tape off her lips as she loudly screams. He forces her to suck his cock. And how I wish the movie could have ended right there.

In a total mood killer, the bitch bites down on his cock. He chokes her into letting go, but that officially ends the fun of this movie. There's a torture scene that could have sparked things back up, as Tim uses electric wiring to shock her tits and pussy, but that doesn't work because she is unconscious throughout it, or is pretending to be. And when he stupidly unties her ropes and turns his back on her, she comes to and gains her revenge on him. There's also an ironic twist ending to the story that I won't reveal.

This is one of Forbidden's harshest and best productions ever. Ranking up there with Gauge's first two movies and also Trick or Treat 2, this one has an intensity that rivals ZFX's work. The victim, in spite of sporting 3 ugly tattoos (couldn't they have been covered up?) is nonetheless beautiful and gives an outstanding performance. And kudos go to the male lead as well for a strong dominant portrayal, plenty mean enough when he needed to be. While it takes a while to get going and needed a more satisfying payoff, there is plenty here to recommend. It appears Forbidden is on the right path, and that's good news for all of us.
My grade: B

Yes, one of my pet peeves, it really rankles. I know it's got to be 10 x harder to actually FILM continuity, but neverthless that is one of the important elements I look for in a film. I want the pacing and progression of a STORY, even if (and sometimes, it is even better if) that story is really simplistic. I'm not talking about a plot, necessarily -- it can be as simple a "story" as (a) he has her hands pulled over her head, then (b) he ties them to the X-beam -- but just looking for some continuity so the buildup of tension is not disrupted.

Good poll re: bondage TGP sites. I wasn't aware of Citizen Cane, but it doesn't look too different from Bondage Wizard and others which just are all different names for the same set of photos which keep rotating endlessly between sites with the posting of little new. I keep looking for something new. Found some good samples at www.bluebondage the other day. Also, take a look at http://www.hardcoregif.com/ and http://www.fetish-porn.info/tgp/, they sometimes have some good stuff.

zee-ef-ex

TGP's recycling pix--they can only host the teasers that sites send to them, all I ask of the TGP is to check out the links and organize them well. Another good (but odd) TGP is silentscreams.

Insex finally contacted me about the ebay dvd pirate and thanked me with a free month! Yippee! So, turn in those pirates, it's the right thing to do and may get ya free stuff!

On another note, thinkin' of getting a mp3 player (not ipod), any recomendations from the gang!

Thanks for your listing. Apparently I have to use Quicktime 6.5 in order to download the Forbidden videos. I upgraded to 7.0 and that did not work. For the moment I will stick with 6.5.

Also, I noticed a couple of people here could not download my previews with quick time 7. I use QT7 on my mac, and 6.5 on my PC and they work on both machines. All trailers are compatible with 6.5 or 7, I tested them on both versions and "SNAP" was encoded with QT7.

Not sure why some are having trouble.

We are already starting up the next one, involvong two 18 year old cheerleaders, an older bitter man and an opportunity for him that he can not pass up!

Stay tuned...

Steve

Fucking fascist lunatics.

zee-ef-ex

Wow, I just popped in with a couple links one of my friends just sent me, but I see there's already been some talk from a couple others here. Still, here they are for those interested:

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/05/05/obscenity.prosecutions.ap/index.html

http://www.usdoj.gov/01whatsnew/safer_america/targetting_obscenity.html

The CNN link is, I believe, pretty much the same thing Thanagar posted just below, but the DOJ link is new. Quick note, Ralphus--you might not want to create a direct link on that last one. Just let the readers cut n' paste it to their browsers, and they can check it themselves.

Glad to see the new AG wasted no time in sticking his head right up Ashcroft's outgoing ass on his way to the exit door--still, it shouldn't have been a surprise and I had a feeling his leaving wouldn't change much. In fact, if anything, it almost seems his leaving has served only to toss more fuel on the "obscenity" pyre.

What can you say... it's a Party cause. Ashcroft was just the figurehead who got all the attention at the time, but with the conservative Christian groups having their teeth sunk so far in Republican ass (having played such a large part in helping Bush win the election), you can believe they're not going to be letting up on this issue. They're going to get their money's worth.

Separation of church and state? Yeah... it was a good idea. Too bad we don't have it still.

Later all.

~WicMis~

Interesting in that second link is a mention of Garry Ragsdale, who was involved with bootlegging ZFX's stuff some years ago. I recognized his name at once.

They also mention the Extreme Associates case, conveniently failing to mention that they lost that fucking case, saying only that he was indicted. Okay, not lost, yet, but it was thrown out of court. For them to put that on their mantle of "recent successes" is bullshit.

I have to admit that lately, I've been a bit more relaxed about things, what with enjoying the direction that Forbidden Video is going, for instance, seemingly not holding back for fear of repercussion like they did before. And their movies are better now because of it. I would hate to see the government go after the producers again. Guys who are trying to create a good product end up turning into Nervous Nellies by holding back on content, or just quitting entirely rather than face the possibility of an obscenity indictment. It may be a bit easier to breathe now, but we are not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination.

We can't just remain complacent and not care about it. I think by now we all EXPECT the government to go after porn...they apparently have nothing else better to do. It just seems that most of us don't give it a second thought unless it directly involves us. And unfortunately, we're sort of powerless to do much about it, since there is no election in sight and we're stuck with 4 more years of this current administration.

Anyone else have any thoughts about this?

Oh, and Ralphus, today's pic (full body length shot of girl tied to a half rack/type setup) is fantastic! More shots like that thanks. Except, what's up with that towel under her midriff? Tends to take away a little from the realism.

As to the DOJ and obscenity busts; Well, what do you expect when politicians have to pay back their supporters. Donkeys ban guns, elephants ban porn. Actually we BDSM fans get it fromm both sides (the feminist wing of the donkey party would have us all either locked up or neutered).

The only cure (short of Revolution II) is for government to have less power, so do your part, vote & support Libertarian!

On the custom video story, Darling has got back in contact with me, and we will be trying to get this going. Themes include; PVC Catsuit, breast bondage & interrogation.

I would argue for making a direct link to the doj page, FWIW. If you start sniveling before and hiding from the wanna-be brownshirts, they only gain more power. They need people to stand up to them.

I'm not sure what else I can do in my own life, but I am thinking about it and trying to work out how I can help reasonable steps to move the culture back towards freedom. Certainly one thing I have always done but am now more outspoken about is defending freedom when the issue comes up. For example, if the topic of porn comes up in polite conversation, no matter who are in the grouping and their divergent attitudes, I never hesitate to praise it as something good. Yes, sometimes I get weird looks, sometimes casual friends disagree and we discuss it, but I won't be silent in the face of intolerance.

I agree with mothbrad, I really like today's AOH on her back photo. She's cute ... AOH is always nice ... and on her back is nice, too. I can understand his point re the towel altho it doesn't bother me.

zee-ef-ex

I agree. I think that's one of the better daily photos Ralphus has posted. Nice legs, nice camera placement.

Updated my site if anyone cares!

Welcome to the board; I'm a big fan of your work, as I'm sure is the case for several others here. I guess it makes sense that someone who does bondage art would end up lurking around here. When I first started on the net, I had no idea there were so many talented artists who specialized in bondage artwork, and a few of them have posted right here. Gary Roberts used to a be a regular here, plus we have Kelderek, Scribbler, The Spike and now Thorn, guys who are talented enough that have their work showcased on the net. Sometimes I forget that they are just normal people with an interest in bondage who surf the net like everyone else, so I suppose it's logical that they would end up congregating at a site like this, considering the subject matter of this forum.

I think your drawings are excellent; I have a relatively small number of your works (59 Thorns in my folder) but I'd like to increase my collection. And I also like the look of your victims; well, I mainly see the same girl in most of your works. I don't think she's pudgy, either; she just has a round face. Sort of reminds me of a British au pair, for some reason. Remember that Louise Woodward who got accused of shaking a baby a few years back? I'm not sure why, but I always associate her with the girl in your drawings. I'd be willing to bet that I'm the only one who thinks that, though. I'm sure it wasn't intentional on your part.

I hope you'll post here often and maybe share more about your experiences creating those fine artworks. I'm sure we'd like to hear more from you.

This got me thinking. Tylene Buck is hot looking (even with the inflated boobs), she's willing to appear naked on camera, she's done some light S and M while working for a hard-core pornographer (two wrestlers held her down while Lizzie Borden spanked her in one of the XPW productions), and it sounds like she isn't commanding top dollars these days for her work.

I think she has the potential to become a ZFX star.

I'm still traveling through beautiful 'Nuclear Free' New Zealand, no, I haven't bumped into Kiwi actress Lucy Lawless ("Xena:Warrior Princess) or Supermodel Rachel Hunter (another local Kiwi), but I have been checking out the local scene and for a tranquil, Oceanic nation with a low population that NZ is. The underground bondage and fetish scene is thriving, (lots of Bondage, Fetish Clubs, etc.) obscenity laws here are quiet relaxed (with certain limitations, of course!), but most adult material is widely available and New Zealanders have other 'more' important things to worry about than obscenity laws and matters of a 'sexual nature'.

I have spotted a few ZFX titles on the shelves of Adult stores in the Kiwi capital Auckland (The 'seedy' district seems to be centered around Karangahape Road, south of downtown Auckland, I've noticed in your part of the world the 'Obscenity' issue still keeps festering this unnatural preoccupation with things 'sexual' on the part of the current US administration is very mystifying...at least to us living in Europe....it has 'fundamentalist' written all over it.

Love the pictures, Ralphus., this chick is got the best pair of legs I've seen in a long, long time and the 'shaved' look is a wondrous sight also.

Take Care and "MAHALO" from the Southernmost South Pacific.

Speaking of that rape list, I work on it from time to time. If you haven't checked it lately, there are 30 more entries I've added recently, some of which I haven't seen, but they were mentioned here on the board. I need help from all of you. Movies with rape scenes in them...God, there's so many we don't have in the database yet. Start with SNAP and Moved To Tears from Forbidden, and I've only added a few ZFX titles so far. I'm not even going to try with Japanese vids; that's damn near impossible. But how about mainstream movies that aren't there yet? With all the perverts we have here, I'll bet every one of us could come up with a movie or two we could add to that list. My goal is to make this the most comprehensive list of rape scenes on the net, but I can't do it myself. Contributions, anyone? A description of the scene would be great, but it's not required. Let's see who can come up with the most titles. Make me proud :)

I wonder if this is also true of the current DVD release of the movie, Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia? I checked this movie the other day for the much-discussed rape scene. Admittedly, I watched this movie in fast forward, as I wasn't really interested in the story, but I didn't see a rape scene. It either happens really quickly or it isn't in the current release.

Does anyone remember an opening mainstream television scene in a short lived series called Striker?,wherein a woman is cleave gagged and tightly tied to a bed -- it looked great but I had to leave before I saw what happened. I think the episode was about a serial rapist.

My problem with TV scenes is that most don't go far enough to really please me. You've got to cater to a mass audience, so the extreme elements of a scene are too often toned down or completely skipped over. One of my favorite shows on TV is "24", which has featured women in bondage in 3 of its first 4 seasons (and some real cuties, too). And it's also shown a lot of graphic torture scenes, but in every case, it was the men on the show that were on the receiving end. I'm afraid even on a grim suspense drama like this show, it's still forbidden to do anything worse to a tied-up woman than merely threaten her.

Regarding your Rape List Pic posting....

You say: ...What makes this scene especially good is that she is tied up with her hands tied behind her the entire time...

Speaking as a card carrying straight heterosexual male, I enthusiastically agree. There's something about a girl with her hands tied behind her back.

Remembering my more carefree college days, whenever a girlfriend would 'allow' me to tie her wrists behind her back before we made out, I would be as hard as an ICBM.

Her eyes would light up like the White House Christmas tree.

Even though she'd be a willing participant, if I asked her to struggle just a little bit, boy did that make a big difference too.

It usually was not too difficult to persuade her that if she laid on the bed ready to be taken it was enough -- she'd get taken -- but if she laid there with her hands firmly bound underneath her creamy white and perfectly tight collegiate body, that was icing on an already delicious cake.

Ralphus, here's a title not on the list. "The Baby of Macon." It's an obscure Peter Greenaway film, wherein Julia Ormond is gang-raped to death by nearly 250 soldiers during a passion play; they are supposed to be acting but the men rape her for real while the audience in the film watches, unaware. The scene takes place behind a screen, so all you see is a silhouette, but it is around 10 minutes long and she screams at the top of her lungs for much of it.

The film was never released in the US aside from a very few art-house screenings because of it. I found it on video, and being a true GIMPer, can highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the sounds of a woman suffering. Very dark stuff.

"Kika" with Veronica Forque. The second longest rape scene in the history of movies. She gets raped for like 10 minutes in her bedroom by this escaped con who hasn't had a woman in a looong time. By the way, this is a comedy.

The classic Elvis movie "A Change of Habit" with Mary Tyler Moore as a nun who's virginity is almost stolen by a punk.

"Today and Tomorrow" a Spanish movie I just saw. Don't know the actress's name. A struggling actress turns to prostitution to make ends meet. One of her clients won't let her go. He throws her on the bed and rear ends her.

"Rearview Mirror" with Lee Remick. She's held hostage by an escaped con on a bus. When the police close in the con, Michael Beck decides if I'm going to jail, I'm gonna get me some Remick before he does. And he chases her. Naturally, the fucking police get there in time to save her virtue.

"Live From Death Row", which starred Joanna Cassidy as a reporter covering an execution in a prison and the inmates take over and she's almost raped by one. It was a network TV movie, but it was so cool when that Latino con has her against the wall trying to rip off her clothes while her cameraman films it as news and viewers could see a possible rape on live TV.

"Prince of Tides" Once again escaped cons rape Kate Nelligan and her two young children.

Also "Jaded", in which Carla Gugino is raped by two lesbians.

The 2 hour pilot for the "Hotel" series. Morgan Fairchild is a hooker at the hotel who gets gang raped by boy scouts. Seriously. It was some losing your virginity contest or something. She was unwilling so they took her by force.

"The Ladies Club": Like Act of Vengeance but not as graphic. Women who've been raped or know someone who was band together as a vigilante group looking for rapists and castrating them. Lots of rape momments but off camera.

Best rape is a girl in a Catholic Schoolgirl uniform who is dragged into the bushes and raped by a bald ugly thug. He pushes her to the ground and while he's unbuckling his belt, she's pleading like crazy saying things like "Please don't do this to me mister!" "Jesus!" "Jesus!" "Mother of God!" followed by her impalement with his manhood. Best part of that movie.

Also remembered "The Player's Club". Never actually saw it but I hear Lisa Raye gets it.

PS. Best victim: Yvette Mimieux "in "Jackson County Jail".

Best rapist: Jingle Bells in "Act of Vengeance" AKA "Rape Squad"

For one thing, it takes thirty minutes to get to the first bondage scene, way too long for a movie that clocks in at less than an hour. Also, it seems astoundingly wrong-headed to choose to end the best scene with the victim chomping on the guy's manhood...exactly whose fantasy is being fulfilled by that?...certainly not the intended audience's.

And the finale (cribbed from a Kevin Costner movie, of all things) is silly, and adds nothing. Having said all that, the middle portion of the vid is a dream come true for a lot of us, and I hope that Forbidden keeps making attempts in this genre for as long as it's safe to do so.

Did I want to see that happen in SNAP? You betcha, which is why I wrote in my review how I wished the action could have ended before the...chomp, chomp bit. It was a total mood killer and tainted the rest of the film for me, and the ending didn't revive it for me.

I hate it when filmmakers go that way; I hated it in Phallicide when Rick had her do it to Travis Lee, but at least he let the guy finish with her and have his orgasm first. Like you noted, these are fantasy movies made for guys, and some damn plot point is not going to ruin my fantasy. It was just totally the wrong way to go in that movie. Or any movie, for that matter.

Nonetheless, it would get a very positive grade from me based on the middle third of the film, which is about as strong as anything I've seen in a long while from any producer...ZFX, the Japanese...anyone. That's saying something. So while I agree with your points, I think we need to measure the good stuff up against the rest. Getting to eat half a delicious ice cream sundae is better than having no dessert at all.

I find it disappointing that a production as unique as Snap is not given the proper recognition for its elaborate set, quick paced action, dialogue, or attempt to make something more than just a bondage/sex flick. And don't you guys get it? In just about every single Forbidden video production, the girl wins at the end. I'm pretty sure that the reason for this is if it ever comes down to defending the productions against a possible obscenity situation, it's very easy to point out that "it's just a movie", not an attempted recreation of real rape which many other company's attempt to simulate and might end up being prosecuted for one day.

Forbiddenvideos show all the great erotic stuff we all want to see, but walks a very fine line in doing so. As for the people who feel that the ending is silly or the dream sequences taking too long, then professional films with creativity, plot and surprise are not for you. I find nothing wrong with a little "campiness". I think his films are as entertaining as they are exciting, and hope he keeps doing exactly what he's been doing.

Personally, I think some of Forbidden's work is entertaining without being especially stimulating. Robobabe had only 7 minutes of bondage, but still copped a B- grade from me because it had a good story. Coma Ward had no bondage at all and still got a C+. I gave both movies credit for the very aspects that you say we don't appreciate.

But if it can deliver those same goods in a way that can satisfy our fantasies, yeah, we're going to like that better. I don't know anyone who watches adult films strictly for the direction and the story and will forgive them if they don't ring his bell in one way or another. Steve would be the first to admit that a lot of his own films have been flawed, at least up until this comeback the company is currently enjoying.

Without launching into a diatribe myself, I'll turn it over to the rest of the board. How important is it to the readers here to have the villain win, and what do you have to say about Ron's challenging assertions?

Maybe...but the audience knows what it wants, knows what it likes, knows what it hopes for. If an audience wanting a movie with bondage and forced sex gets a half hour of dream sequence consentual sex before the "good stuff," then that audience is going to be disappointed by that. Because to them, that half hour is a waste. To a different audience, one that's able to appreciate a half hour of dream sequence consentual sex before the bondage, then the reaction will be different. Because to them, it's not a waste.

Any attempt to produce a bondage film with a little creativity or imagination (I.E. "a movie"), is put down as being ridiculous or silly. What's up with that, folks?

Not true. Something creative or imaginative is not put down as being silly just cause it's creative or imaginative, it's put down because "folks" think it's silly -- creativity or imagination has nothing to do with it.

I find it disappointing that a production as unique as Snap is not given the proper recognition for its elaborate set, quick paced action, dialogue, or attempt to make something more than just a bondage/sex flick.

Clearly you like the film. Maybe you even worked on it (you're a bit over defensive about it for just being a consumer). I've only seen vid caps. The set looks fine, but what's elaborate about it? What's so 'unique' about Snap? And why be disappointed when all you have to do to remedy that disappointment is pay recognition to the above elements yourself (while leaving out the part about being disappointed that no one else has mentioned those things)!?

And don't you guys get it? In just about every single Forbidden video production, the girl wins at the end. I'm pretty sure that the reason for this is if it ever comes down to defending the productions against a possible obscenity situation, it's very easy to point out that "it's just a movie", not an attempted recreation of real rape which many other company's attempt to simulate and might end up being prosecuted for one day.

I don't buy your reasoning (unless you work there). That would be the makings of a weak defense ("see...it's just a movie cause the girl wins at the end."). That said, I don't care if the girl 'wins' in the end, but that depends on how it's handled. False endings might work great for this. First end with the girl vanquished. Fade out...fade in. Then continue the storyline with ending where she wins. People who don't want to see her win don't have to watch that ending.

I agree with thanagar about whose fantasy does chomping down hard on a dick serve. Not mine. I really don't think that's a popular adult fantasy element. I could, tho, see that happening in a horror or thriller. She could even bite it off. But that's a different movie genre and a different purpose.

Forbiddenvideos show all the great erotic stuff we all want to see,

"We all?" Yeah, I'm not feeling that affinity with you where "we all" applies. They do show some good stuff in decent enough chunks in their vids, but some of the stuff you label as creative and imaginative, that you apparently like, is just padded filler to me. Still can be worth the purchase or rental for the good parts tho.

but walks a very fine line in doing so.

As do all producers doing this niche of content.

As for the people who feel that the ending is silly or the dream sequences taking too long, then professional films with creativity, plot and surprise are not for you.

Or maybe what people feel is a silly ending and too long dream sequences is in actuality (or in their opinion) a silly ending and too long dream sequences! And perhaps your crack about professional films with creativity, plot and surprise not being for them has no basis and doesn't really mean anything other than you're mad that others don't love every inch of this movie like you do.

I find nothing wrong with a little "campiness".

I don't either, but who said it was campy.

I think his films are as entertaining as they are exciting, and hope he keeps doing exactly what he's been doing.

I think his stuff shows a lot of promise. I think his team is very capable. I do not share your press release vision of the work tho, and believe there's definite room for improvement. I also believe they're up to the task. Time will tell.

when I first had a look at the teaser i was very excited because of the daydream preview similar to Forbidins dream date movie one of my all time favorites Because of the ending

But i am sorry to say i was very let down by this movie in reverse order I hated the ending it reminded me of so many ZFX crappy endings where the hero thats the guy is killed or captured and what fun is that

a better ending would have been to add some make up to the girl and guy so they look maybe ten years older and we see her chained under his desk as his slave sucking him off now that he is the boss of his dads company.

the next part i hated is the pussy eating I just dont get it if your a guy in control of a girl who wants to eat fish? its a boring part i fast forward through that makes the movie shorter why put it in. the only time I want to see pussy eating is when one girl is forced to do another as a degrigration. also why do all these girls have tatoos

put some make up over them to hide them they are ugly looking on a girl

so please forbidin keep making movies I love so many of them you have made but not this one

pardon my english and spelling english is not my native language.

We have had many discussions about plot, about sets, etc. I posted recently about how the red lacquered kitchen added to the vibe in one of the Teen America movies. Before that, several of us had a discussion of the phony looking dungeons used by the Hogtied people sometimes. And there have been many postings about how much people like the ZFX film Forced Entry's use of a realistic looking home invasion. Not to mention all the recent reviews here of ZFX's "The Apartment", where we extolled its qualities as potentially award-winning moviemaking.

I haven't seen Snap, but it doesn't sound as good as ZFX's best work.

PS, I hate the villain loses thing, hated the end of Phallicide, although I agree with Ron Walker producers probably feel they have to do that kind of stupid self-censorship dilution so as not to be prosecuted by our American Taliban brown-shirted obscene government.

zee-ef-ex

Hints to producers: The girl doesn't win, if she is lucky, she survives to make the sequel; Don't skimp on the rope, sure two loops can actually hold a woman, but use more just to make sure; Setup is fine for about five minutes, then get into the action, you're making porn!

Watched "the Apartment" again, and it doesn't seem to hold up to repeated viewings, the second time around (or third) the movie drags and the SFX look really cheesy. Then again, I did watch it more than once, so that puts it higher than most BDSM videos.

I never saw "Live from Death Row" but I did catch the previews on network TV. Ever since, I have been looking for vidcaps, DVD, or cassette versions of it. Does anyone know where it can be found?

In response to Ron Walker.. (and no, he does NOT work for me, Im pretty much a solo act)

Thanks for the kind words, you are pretty much spot on with your assumptions. I personally like to create and market something other than the porn you see by vivid, or whoever. This does not mean Im out to produce only force and torture. I like storylines, I like action, and I like dialog. I also like erotic. Yes, many of my titles are "campy", some plain suck, and some are superb IMO. But hey, I'm far from perfect!

If I created the type of movie that catered only to the GIMP board, I would be out of business for three reasons.

#1 reason - I would be busted and shut down for obcenity as many other "force themed" sites have been over the past 4 years. The reason I am still here as well as Rick from ZFX is becuase of the way we produce. I make movies that feature much more than vids that the shoddy amatuer sites that have been shut down. Artistic value, scripts, camera angles, surprise happy endings, and I make sure the stars are 100% happy at all times. I like our endings, as they are different and keep it safe. Yes I walk a fine line, but I can not and will not cross it. Neither does Rick from what I have seen. You may desire certain things from a movie, but Im not the guy thats going to go to prison to bring it to you! I get as close as I can and thats all I can do. (yes, the government is giving prison terms for selling porn these days)

#2 - Believe it or not, my videos, as is, are very popular. My customers who buy and join my site love what we do and beg for more in emails daily! I try to stick with the formula that works for me, my customers and I stay as safe as I can so Im still around in 10 years! Cant please everyone all of the time! I would lose business if I changed the way I do these. Ive been around since 1998 and have somewhat of a small cult following.

#3 reason - That is not what I am about. What you see on my site, the vids you have all seen. That is what I am about. Its what I do. Like it or not. I'd rather close up shop than to do something I didnt want to do every week.

Also in response to Scribbler here:

"I don't buy your reasoning (unless you work there). That would be the makings of a weak defense ("see...it's just a movie cause the girl wins at the end."). That said, I don't care if the girl 'wins' in the end, but that depends on how it's handled. False endings might work great for this. First end with the girl vanquished. Fade out...fade in. Then continue the storyline with ending where she wins. People who don't want to see her win don't have to watch that ending."

1st off, never even heard of Ron Walker so he doesnt work for me as I am basically a one man show these days :)

Believe it or not, the happy endings do help the videos if there were ever to be problems. Remember, a jury has to watch the entire film, beginning to end. If one person on that jury says not guilty then its not guilty. The ending is what leaves the last impression. EVERY one of my videos will feature a happy ending and they ALWAYS have. Many ZFX do as well. There is a reason for this, not only entertainment but keeping it a little safer. I don't plan on getting prosecuted, but hey it could happen.

Personally, my opinion is there should be no problem producing ANY movie as long as its acted and is with and for adults. Im not hurting ANYBODY with any of my productions. I feel my films are fine, within limits and I am breaking no written law. Thats why Im still here.

Its when you get the stupid guys running the web sites promoting real rape, real torture is when there is a problem. That's not for me, not what Im about. I have a blast bringing these vids to life. No I do not sell a ton of them, I'm small in comparison to the big guns but it does well enough to keep making more and having fun with it. Already started work on the next one, but if you are looking for 100% torture, bondage and forced scenes its not going to happen in my vids and never has but there will always be elements and scenes with these as this is what makes it erotic and exciting.

So for those of you who enjoy my stuff, I thank you. More is on the way. For those who don't, thats cool too! Im usually not on here and I dont force my stuff on anyone.

Anyway, this has gone way longer than I wanted, so Ill take off now. Just had to chime in after reading todays posts! Its all fun and no movie will ever be the perfect one. I think SNAP is great, MOVED is great. Now SADISTIC SANTA, thats a different story!

Later, and stay safe :) Steve

So if anybody has experience with them I would appreciate hearing about it. This is a great forum for info, thanks.

Good luck in finding "Live From Death Row". I just wish it was a feature or cable movie so that Joanna Cassidy would not have been spared from rape in the film. But the attempt with her blouse torn, her pinned to the wall by the convict sticking his leg between her crotch and holding her arms, her legs futilely kicking to break free and her making those desperate moaning noises make it enjoyable enough.

http://www.mood-pictures.com/movies.php

The caveat? It's also damned expensive. Cost me over seventy bucks, which was more than I wanted to pay. But that's how much it costs, so if you want it, that's the price. I was very satisfied with what I got for my money.

Anyone else find it funny that the head (and maybe only) honcho of an outfit called "Forbidden" won't make certain types of video because of the law? If you are call yerself "forbidden", then do something "forbidden". BTW, Steve, we bitch because you came so close to making the videos we (the Gimpers) want , but CHOOSE NOT TO! You have your reasons (Money & Jail), so I'll let it rest (till yer next movie comes out and we start the whole cycle again). :)

BTW, if I can ever get the right peformers, I swear to attempt to make a GIMP-worthy flick. It won't be polished, but then again the old Whitman shorts weren't to polished.

Just one last comment. Why is following the law "funny"? If I didnt, I would not be here in 2 months and there would be NO MORE Vids at all. Why should I risk my ass for the 10-15 DVD's I would sell to members of the board with each release?

I'll continue to chug along, and we shoot here every single week. I have a new idea for a new series that was actually e-mailed to me, I think it was from a gimp board member. Sounds promising. Also, our Jail Series is going to possible get darker and be produced "movie style" soon.

I thank you all for your talk and comments on my stuff. I did try to come as close as possible with this last one and even took some of Ralphus's comments from "Moved" and put them to work in "Snap" - Many of you liked it and some did not, but again, you can't please everyone!

Later

Steve A

Baronorca: I saw the rough footage you sent me of a shoot you did with Cherish, and I think you already have the right performer to make a GIMP-worthy vid. Not only is she a major cutie, she knows how to sell distress with the best of them. Not to mention she looks damn good in a ballgag. You need to add a cameraman so that your stuff can be less unpolished and more visually arresting, but I'll tell ya, you're more than halfway there when you start off with the right girl.

http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/pyromania44/CherishEC005.jpg

More pics of Cherish are at Baronorca's Yahoo group, Orca House (URL above).

Sorry, I haven't logged on for awhile.

I enjoyed Snap. Kudos to Steve. I admire his ambition and desire to produce a quality product.

I enjoyed the dream sequences at the beginning of the film. But truth be told they could've been shorter.

If I may be permitted, here's an alternative ending to Snap. Keep in mind I offer this in fun and it is by no means a knock on Steve's creative process. So here goes:

While Tim is forcing Miss Jenkins to give him a blow job, there is a loud knock on the door. In a scene reminiscent of "The Collector" Tim tries to gag her. She fights and screams. He stuffs a cloth in her mind and winds tape around her head.

He yells:"Who is it?" It is his father. Miss Jenkins fights all that much harder. Finally she is subdued. He runs to the door.

The father enters. "Why was the door bolted?" he asks.

The father then asks Tom if he's seen Miss Jenkins. "Why?", Tim asks. It turns out that the elder gentleman has hired Miss Jenkins for more than her secretarial skills. She was hired for her tats, and her eagerness to please dear old dad.

The father has asked Miss Jenkins not to say anything to anybody because he didn't want repercussions. But tonight was a very special night. Tonight he was going to propose marriage to Miss Jenkins.

Tim, of course, is flabbergasted. He convinces his old man that he knows nothing about his future stepmother's whereabouts and ushers his father out the door.

Once the door has been re-locked, he runs back to his captive. Of course, she has heard everything. She has turned from afraid to angry. The camera zooms in on her face. If looks could kill.
Camera fades to black.

If we're looking for ways to improve SNAP, how about finding a way to cover up the leading lady's tattoos? In every other aspect, she is perfection personified, but even a babe like that was under the misguided notion that marking up her silky skin with hideous tattoos could somehow improve what God gave her. I will be SO glad when this tattoo craze finally ends and women come to their senses.

In the meantime, I'm pretty sure it is possible to cover up those ugly tattoos with makeup, right? The reason I know is that Misty Mundae used to have a large tattoo on her left shoulder, but when you see her in movies now, there's usually no trace of the tattoo (Which is smart, incidentally, since a tattoo would be totally wrong for her sexy girl-next-door persona that has made her a star). I was looking at one of her DVDs and I noticed she still must have it, since I could see a faint outline of it when I freeze-framed the picture.

So Steve, if it's really possible to cover them up, I think that would be a great idea for future shoots. The last survey we had here was overwhelmingly in favor of no tattoos, so if you use another tattoo chick again, it might worth it to try to cover them up. I'm sure the majority of people on this board, at least, would appreciate it.

If I created the type of movie that catered only to the GIMP board, I would be out of business for three reasons...

Well, I buy reason #3; you don't even really need the other reasons.

Reasons #2: maybe you'd lose some customers, but you'd probably gain others. There's too many unknowns to validate you'd be out of business based on reason #2 .

Reason #1: I don't think anyone can blame you for wanting to be careful, but I don't buy that the movies we would like made would get a producer busted and shut down. (Some types maybe, but not all of the potential GIMP movies that could be made.) ZFX is still around and they do some pretty good ones. I can't think of one site or producer of movies that GIMPers have liked that was busted and shut down. Don't know why shoddy amateur sites are relevant; have we championed some I'm not aware of? I also don't know what it is you think we want in movies that would get you or any producer going to prison. One big taboo for awhile was bondage with actual sex...which happens to be something you do at Forbidden (so thumbs up to that.)

I think it's entirely possible to make movies that cater to the majority tastes here at BOTG that would not lead a production company to ruin. Lot of movies are GIMP movies (including some Forbidden vids), it's just that they're often not solid from beginning to end: they have good parts, average parts, and boring or bad parts. In regards to SNAP, it's not my impression that people liked it or didn't like it as a whole. They liked some parts and not others.

But again, I buy #3, you should do what you want. And the board will do as it always does: discuss and critique.

Believe it or not, the happy endings do help the videos if there were ever to be problems....

I think that's an unproven guess, but what the heck...they probably don't hurt.

tats

Sure, tats can be covered up with makeup. But then they'll have to hire Ralphus for the entire shoot day to walk around with a makeup sponge to make sure they stay covered up :)

laws

The laws regarding porn are fairly ambiguous, so the talk about not crossing the line (or the law) is really talking about a moving target, or a wide, blurry line that producers can only make their best guess about as to what might be safe to do and what's not. Like the bondage with actual sex taboo. ZFX still uses dildos as substitutes (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Actually, that would be a dream job, working on a bondage film. Beats what's I'm doing now. Wake up, get dressed, and get down to the set so you can tie up this naked woman. I seriously doubt I would have a problem getting myself motivated.

I think the cop should have resumed the action with a change in the cast!

Well, this week they changed the main page for Brutal Violence and eliminated the free weekly clips! They're gone, and even though they still have a few of the old ones left on their site, you can't even save them now; they are strictly for streaming.

I'm sure it was probably done to save bandwidth costs, but man, what a bad move on Brutal Violence's part. It was those clips that convinced me to buy a membership the first time, and those same clips that had me renew for another year this February. I can't imagine I would have subscribed the first time without seeing the movie previews. Those clips that they decided are too expensive have ultimately led to me spending about $800 total at their website. So in my case, at least, they worked.

But on the other hand, has anybody else but me noticed that BV seems like it's becoming less brutal and more routine? I honestly haven't been interested in downloading too much of their recent stuff. I haven't been seeing too many wild tortures like they used to show, plus the quality of the women seems to have gone down. I see a lot more piercings and tattoos, including one on a character playing a nun! Yeah, that's believable.

Not only that, some of the storylines have been kind of lame, too. I know it's gotta be hard to put out a new 20 minute movie every single week, but I think they may be running out of good ideas. A guy wearing a robot suit raping a woman in one called "Fuckocop"? Maybe Hail would appreciate something weird like that, but it's awfully silly to me.

on Brutal Violence-I've been a member of their site a few times also and the previews definintely played a role in getting me to sign up. They've had some good stuff over the past few years, but like you, I have seen the quality decline. They had that whole courtroom stuff goin on recently which didnt seem that great.

I recently tried their sister site RTbondage, and that had some good stuff that wasnt on BV, but I was somewhat disappointed that the updates were only 2x per month.

I think in part our expectations for them are too high now, but they have pretty good content (not rinky-dink stuff like most US commercial bondage flicks/sites) with pretty hot chicks who are usually well endowed.

DD03 (Dark Day for Darling) is Dave Darke's (davedarke.com) third video release. This video features Dave Darke as the Birthday Guy, it's his birthday and he's getting a birthday present, the present is Darling (if anyone had a name in this, I didn't catch it), and she's his gift from his girlfriend.

The setting is what looks like a bondage studio (perhaps a converted warehouse), with lots of BDSM toys on the wall and lots of places to tie someone from or to. Darling is a super sexy strawberry blonde, who has a great body, (warning, she large tattoos on her back, however, they aren't seen much in this video). Darling is a great emoter, pleading from behind the gag and drooling quite a bit. Dave (who wears a mask during the entire video (why, I dunno) has great fun with his present.

Some of the fun things done to and with Darling include; cutting off of clothes, groping & squeezing, clamps on nipples & pussy, spanking, flogging, more groping, some difficult & stressful ties (including a great folded flat-tie on a tabletop). Included is some light banter from Dave to Darling (Darling is gagged during most of the video).

It's a light video, no real sense of menace, mild torment, some very good bondage.

Running time 1hr 20 min + 10 min trailers. No extra features. DVD-R.

Available from BND Enterprises SRP $40

Bottom Line, 8/10 Highly recommended for fans of both Dave Darke & Darling.

The rest of you will also enjoy it.

Huh? What's this? I HAVE to to check that....

"Maybe Hail would appreciate something weird like that, but it's awfully silly to me."

Ha ha ha...! You know me too well, you bastard!

I've been pretty busy lately. Looks like I have a few months to catch up with here now.

Baronorca: Thanks for the review of Dave Darke's new vid. Perfect timing, too, since I just put some Darling pics on the board last night. Dave sent me some exclusive grabs to share with the rest of you pervs, so look for more all this week.

Anybody else care to chime in with reviews of bondage vids they've seen lately? And whatever happened to Mr. D? He was cranking them out at a real good pace not long ago, and now he seems to have disappeared completely.

It's been a while since we heard anything straight from Lisa's mouth [without the gag on!].....maybe we should start a Lisa fanclub, we could have a "Lisa" fanclub member starter kit for those who join: gags, whips, ropes, a T-shirt with a picture of our favourite girl squirming in pain, handcuffs, maybe throw-in a baseball cap and a few autographed clothespins, maybe a few of her horror-sweat soaked panties used in a ZFX film.

I liked the "Ironing" photo, something I like to see more of (I did mention the most perverted scene involving this little household appliance in "Incubus", I saw "Incubus 2" recently after a long long search in sleazy adult stores in Sydney's Chinatown, not bad at all., "Heat" torture fetish is something rare (besides candlewax) I think ZFX does have a video out called "Heat", Ralphus you might enlighten me here if you are aware of it....also anyone know any good "tit torture videos" involving industrial vises let me know...I'm going through an "industrial" phase at the moment.

Cheers

Betcha the cops charged 'em with wasting police time or maybe disturbing the peace -- the cops' that is!

chase

I don't know if Lisa and Rick are even still getting together on shoots; the last confirmed one was back in December of 2003. Only Rick knows what's going on with future ZFX projects, and he's not one to make a lot of noise until they are near their release point. He's also the one who initiated all of Lisa's interviews, so it's up to him if we're ever going to get another one. It would be a great to have an update, though, if for no other reason than to generate excitement among his/her loyal fans.

I thought I was the only one here who liked heat torture. Now I guess there are two of us who will admit to it. Those who know me well know about my burning at the stake fetish, but any kind of threat of torture by fire turns me on. I love this picture, for instance:

http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/pyromania44/04b.jpg

Never heard of a ZFX movie called "Heat", though. Sounds like wishful thinking.

Tit torture videos? I know a few people here who might know a thing or two about those.

I am looking for the theme to be an interrogation kinda flick featuring an athletic girl (like "The Reporter"), but nothing terribly complicated in terms of props. The relicraider chick is supposed to be available for $500 for 30 mins, but that excludes nudity. She's hot and has acted out the tough chick thing which I want well in other videos despite the lack of nudity so that's why I'm considering her. I'm also considering Stacy Burke right now since she still looks good and acts pretty well.

Catman I agree with you about insex. Upfront people and they offer a lot. It is hard to go backwards though. I noticed that they updated less but the part that has stopped me from rejoining is the quality decrease in their movies. They are still better then most but the last time I was a member they had high definition videos at 750 kbps for rm. These movies were crystal clear as far as internet movies go. My personal opinion is I rather be watching dvd's then crappy internet video with digital breakup all over the place. I dont even like watching vhs anymore. Dvd has spoiled me. I offered insex help if they wanted to release movies on dvd for xtra income but I guess they still dont want to go that route.

My feeling is business changes all the time and you must change with it. The video business is no different. A lot of the early pioneers who made money pretty easily didnt deal with the change and sold off to new pioneers who still saw promise. Then changes forced the new guys out but most of the time the good ones do survive. I feel the website business was easier a few years ago but xrta competition, charge card problems, and piracy has made the environment a lot more difficult to succeed in. I really think Insex is missing the boat big time by not releasing stuff on dvd. Maybe they will change their mind someday.

Mr Bush. As far as websites are concerned check out hellselevator.com. Their movies are run off at 367 kbps and arent bad as internet video goes. I also think they have some very good content. The clips are short but I think the site is pretty neat. This site will start releasing dvd's in a month or two.

As far as forbidden video goes I hear Steve loud and clear. He has himself a niche in the market. He runs a decent website and makes movies the way he wants and what makes him comfortable. If we like it great if we dont that isnt a problem because why fight what is successful and proven for him?

Mallory Knots (aka 1203, piglet, Sierra and more), is starring in a porn video from VCA, the movie is called "Contract Girl" and she's on the front cover. It's being released later this month. Can't tell what she does in the movie (but it looks like she has a breast bondage scene).

I have some experience with custom videos. Drop me an email.

Thanks for the info, hellselevator does not look bad, girls leave something to be desired. How is the acting? Agree that rt bondage is just the castoffs of brutal violence, but now it looks like brutal violence is getting the castoffs also. Anyone try bondage vacation? Sure is a great lack of sites, material and content. Nothing new, the old stuff is still the best which has gotten real old.

Now...What does Lisa actually do when she is not being submitted to savagery for our viewing pleasure in ZFX movies? Is she a laptop dancer? Penthouse pet? Wal-mart Checkout register babe? Maybe doing TV commercials? Will she ever do 'vanilla porn'?...just curious, that's all.

How old is Lisa, by the way?? (I've bumped into a few "Lisa" look-alikes, here in New Zealand (yep, I'm still traveling), there's a lot of sultry exotic brunettes in this place.

Regarding "Heat" genre (mentioned by one gimper) I think a company called 'Redboard' has film called "Heat" in which females are strapped, chained or handcuffed to hot water pipes, and other types of plumbing, If I see it again, I'll provide more details, it looks pretty real, I think the same company has another titled called "Buried Alive" (like the old 'Ron Wood' song...."you're so pretty you should be buried alive!"...or something like that.

Happy Trails, Gimpers.

My thanks to Ralphus for kindly posting the vid caps and review of my new video "Dark Day for Darling." And much thanks to Baronorca for providing the review.

Darling seems to be enjoying a surge of popularity among Gimp board readers and other bondage video fans at the moment, and it is not difficult to understand why. I must admit that my eyes nearly popped out when Darling disrobed for the first time in the studio. She has a wonderfully curvy, feminine body that is great to look at and even more fun to tie up and torment. She is also an exceptional performer who gives her all in every scene.

I am quite pleased with this video, it is easily my best work to date. But of course there is always room for improvement. So stay tuned Gimp board readers, there is much more to come.

Enjoy!

I think Rick or Lisa once mentioned that she was not a stripper. I have always wondered what she did in everyday life. Hmmm, she had to have got that Hooters uniform in "Dirty Dreams" from somewhere..

The more I hear about this Gonzales guy, the less I like him. Terribly misplaced priorities. The thing is, I don't hear a huge outcry from Americans wanting to have their porn taken away and their freedoms reduced. The only thing the majority of Americans seem to be against is kiddy porn, which I'd be willing to bet is why the Department of Justice lumps "obscenity" in with "child protection". Pretty deceptive practice. You can't be against it if it involves protecting our precious children, right? That's what they're hoping we'll buy, anyway. And most clueless retards won't mind if they add violent pornography into the mix. Doesn't matter if it's theatrical or not, or that it's performed by consenting adults, for consenting adults. If the government doesn't like it (and they clearly don't), they will make it illegal to sell it. 4 more years of those fine Republican sensibilities. Aren't we so glad Bush is still in charge?

Epilepsio: I think a safe bet on Lisa's age would indeed be late 20s, early 30s. As for what she really does for a living, that was asked directly of her in her first interview (link above). She did not wish to disclose her occupation.

Also interesting to me from those interviews is that she has claimed (twice, I think) that she has never been recognized in public. Is it possible that the ZFX fanbase is so small that someone hasn't come up to her and said something like "Omigod, you're Lisa Kinkaid!"? Or maybe the ZFX fans do recognize her and decide to silently stalk her instead, planning what they will do to her once they catch her alone? Let's hope that if that happens, Rick has his camcorder nearby :)

1) It may just be me, but I would be careful about probing too far into the details of Lisa's "real" life. We might uncover things that would shatter the fantasy -- although I do thing it's a good idea to keep your eyes open if you're checking the strip clubs.

2) If violent pornography becomes part of the standard definition of "obscenity," it will be tough to get that over-turned. I don't think there's much of a pro-bondage lobby that will fight to get the issue on the public agenda.

Episode 1: knife play, electro torture, ice cube torment, and cigarette burns

Episode 2: electric dildo, punching, fisting, and cigarette torture

Episode 3: electro shock, slap & pinch, light cropping

In Episode 4, a male victim is tortured by female. I personally feel that Episode 3 is the best one among this series. You can visit its web site to watch the free trailers.

The trailer for Part 3 blew it, in my mind, by not giving us a taste of the electric shock scene. If they want us to buy these movies, they need to show us what we're going to get. Is it worth seeing for that? I know when you reviewed the other Marie Madison series, you said the bondage and torture scenes were not as intense as what you've seen from other studios. Is that still the case with these?

I'm definitely not sold yet. The chesty brunette is kinda cute, but Marie Madison looks like an ugly guy to me.

On another note, I did get that Insex bootleg dvd, for a bootleg dvd made from a realmedia file, it was pretty good. If you need an Insex video (and for some reason, you can't join Insex), this is a workable solution (if ya don't mind that it's bootleg). Funny, but the seller is still on ebay (guess Insex doesn't care).

For Episode 2, the hands of Kami Andrews (the chesty brunette) was held by a guy while another guy inserted the dildo in her. She was not tied up in the cigarette torture.

In Episode 3, the electric shock was delivered when Kami was bound in the bed. I thought it was pretty good. But then again, I do have to stick to my earlier comment that these bondage and torture scenes are not as intense as other studios.

Baronorca has a great point that members can sign up at Hot Movies, get 10 free minutes, and watch the series before they decide to purchase the videos. Thanks.

Did The Donald ever tie her up? I doubt he put clamps on her nipples. Stupid network TV!

Here's how the final show should have ended. "Kendra...you're hired! To be my full-time sex slave! Surprise! Now get those clothes off and get down on your knees, bitch!"

Hey, he's a billionaire. Having lots of money has its perks :)

Which brings me to reason two--only the first six minutes are devoted to plot set-up, quite a difference from "Snap"'s twenty or so. Unfortunately, the saved time doesn't translate into more bondage fun'n'games..."Moved" is a substantially shorter flick.

Finally, any movie that doesn't have the heroine chomping on the bad guy's dong is a step in the right direction. The only thing I would've done differently in this video is add a plot complication to get it closer to an hour--maybe have Luccia escape, run into the house and be recaptured by the mover who would then re-tie her and molest her a bit more. Other than that, no complaints.

I received an email today that offered the chance to cash in on a couple of million (U.S.) by pretending to be the relative of a person who died in Canada. All I had to do was send my picture, bank info., etc.

Naturally, with an email name like dvdfan04, I get spam all the time. What made this one interesting was that it claimed to be from BBFan -- which shows they got my email from this site.

Consider yourself warned.

Just kidding, of course. Anytime you leave your e-mail in a public forum, the spammers will eventually find a way to use it against you. A few years back, Rick sent me an e-mail asking what it was I had sent him. He never opens attachments for safety reasons. The thing is, I hadn't sent him anything. It was some asshole spoofing my e-mail address, and no doubt he got both of ours from this board.

My spam filter through AOL eliminates most of that crap, but it's still a pain. Spammers hit this board sometimes, too, changing their IP address to stay one step ahead of me deleting their posts. I think death by torture would be an appropriate penalty for spamming. Except it's just not violent enough to suit me.

Thanks,
Kevin

On the custom front: I just got an mail from Summer Cummings, that she is willing to work on a custom video for me. Now to start the planning....PVC catsuit, breast bondage, and a few more ... indignities. Life is good!

There is also some good stuff in a B&D Enterprises movie from a few years back called Psycho Sexualis: The Terror Series. It can be found at adultdvdempire.com

I am trying to find out the video that is the source of this screenshot (see link). What video is this from??? Any help would be appreciated!

It's up there now. Looks delicious; I hope somebody can identify what movie it's from.

Also, can someone remember the title of the zfx movie that has Lisa Kinkaid handsmothered by an invisible intruder on a bed?

Excuse me but am I missing something here. I think that it is just a waste ot their time to put in such a worthless scene, you can't get excited about it because there is no breath play involved. Any other opinions.

To me, it's the quintessential ZFX title, in that it features a cute victim (Chandra Sweet), a wonderful villain (Brian Dunhill), and a simple but believable storyline. Fellow cheerleader Penelope Pace pays nerd Dunhill to kidnap Chandra over the weekend so that she will miss the cheerleading competition. Dunhill, spurned earlier in the tape by Chandra, is more than happy to enact his revenge. Boy, does he ever!

It's the Ultimate Revenge Story for anyone who was ever rejected by a prissy cheerleader-type in school, and it's a movie that always keeps me smiling, watching Brian toss off these cruelly- funny one-liners while torturing Chandra mercilessly. He chokes her to unconsciousness, uses clothespins on her pussy lips (raising up her cheerleader skirt to do so, what an image!), suffocates her with a plastic bag (complete with the aforementioned vacuum hose up her snatch!), zaps her with electric shock, impales her ass with a giant dildo, and force-feeds an entire hamburger down her throat. These are just a few highlights that come to mind.

Basically, you have Rick's best villain ever, coupled with maybe his best victim in Chandra, and both are hitting on all cylinders in this tape, doing their best work. From start to finish, one of ZFX's most entertaining titles, and I know from reading this board from its inception, it's the favorite of quite a few other GIMPers, too. It came out before I started reviewing ZFX vids online, but Damien wrote about it, and you can find his review here

Also, it's available on DVD now, too. Search around, but the lowest I've found is for $39.99 at www.sex-superstore.com. Definitely worth a purchase for any ZFX fan.

BTW, Kevin, the movie with Lisa attacked by the invisible intruder is The Incubus, another good one.

Now, I'd have to agree with Ralphus: "Perilous U", it's up there in the "top 10" of bondage, it's one of my most watched and loved films in the ZFX catalogue....Blonde Bitch with the pendulous tits, Penelope Pace fingering herself as she looks at photos of her rival being tormented is worth the price of the movie alone!!, not to mention the fun with the plastic bag and vacuum-cleaner tubing...only ZFX can give such perverted thrills unforgettable!....

I have no idea, haven't subscribed to that site. I just think the model is way hot.

If you go their website, they have several other free clips, and there are one or two other cute models but fwiw imo many of the models are not all that.

zee-ef-ex

Some of their movies look quite intriguing, particularly Hard Stuff 3 (link above). I've been curious about them for a while; is their stuff worthwhile? And more importantly, is it nonconsensual?

Try the above link for some "Babes in Bondage"from the old time pulp covers.

"Hank"

On another note, the current issue of Taboo magazine has 5 pics of Anna on page 67, I took these pix about a year ago. Took a while to get them published, but better late than never.

Been a while since my last post. I wanna mention something about Dave Darke's DD03 video. I shoulda got this in when Ralphus was running the vidcaps, but you can check out the vid at the above link.

Anyway those who look closely can tell that I and Dave did some work together for a while. However watching DD03 was like watching something different from my own work.

Sometimes I would give Dave a suggestion here or there, but all the stuff he did with Darling was his own idea. I used to give him a hand with some of the post production stuff, but in this case Dave did the video end to end, totally on his own. So in a nutshell, this is like seeing Dave emerge in his own right as a bondage artist. And I thought the video was pretty damn good. Also very fast paced with six different setups. So if you wanna see what Dave's about and where he's going, this is the vid to check out.

I also want to weigh in on the tattoo issue.

Let me say that I don't, in general, like tattoos. Some I can admire as art, though I always feel that the natural woman is the true work of art. But if you looked around at real young women, you would realize that tattoos are the norm, as are some minor piercings. So a woman is not necessarily "fallen" if she has a tat or two. A girl can be innocent and tattooed. As long as it's tastefully done.

Let me say again, I don't really care for tattoos - especially on gorgeous bodies.

But how can you look at a model like Darling and actually complain about the tattoo. This broad (and I mean that as a compliment) represents the kind of ripe sexuality Marilyn radiated in her day. If you can't still find her attractive, I just don't get it. I've shot her before and will again. I find her earth mother sensuality a real inspiration. And she is a good willing model as well.

If you formed your fetish when mom threw you over her shoulder and carried you hanging down behind her - making the thing you find most specifically stimulating is a women's back, then hey, I get it. But for the rest of you, you need to face reality a bit. Frankly, the kinds of models who are going to deliver the hard realistic bondage, mostly have some tats and stuff. That's what I like (realistic bondage scenarios) and what I try to shoot.

Surely I'm not alone in being able to look past a "fault" or two.

~Dan

Regarding tattoos, everyone here is familiar with my dislike of them. Like most GIMPers, I feel they don't belong on women's bodies, especially if they are trying to project an innocent, wholesome image, which is what I want my ideal victim to be.

You wrote:

Okay, maybe. I don't necessarily mind navel rings, or little tats on the ankles, like what Lisa Kinkaid has. But a huge tattoo on Darling's back and another big one on her swimsuit line above her ass? I don't find those tasteful, I find them disgusting.

But how can you look at a model like Darling and actually complain about the tattoo. This broad (and I mean that as a compliment) represents the kind of ripe sexuality Marilyn radiated in her day. If you can't still find her attractive, I just don't get it.

I suppose you are talking about me, although I never said she wasn't attractive. But I will admit that, yeah, Darling's tattoos were one of the reasons why I reluctantly passed on the chance to review this one, because it was offered to me initially.

I might have been more gung ho if I had seen Darling perform before, but I never have, not even in a short video clip. All I knew of her was what I had seen in pictures and the comments from others on the board. Clearly, she has a great reputation; I've heard nothing but glowing words about her. And appearance-wise, I actually do find her attractive. Nice body, cute face, red hair, and I can overlook a tattoo that's on the back a lot more easily than one on the front, where you're not going to notice it that much.

I'm not going to say that tattoos will automatically mar a video experience for me. I happen to find a lot of women in the biz to be attractive that sport back tattoos. The chick from Forbidden's SNAP was gorgeous, and the scene where the bad guy had her in a standing spreadeagle rang my bell big time. Another girl who started with Forbidden was Gauge, and her bed rape in After School Surprise is one of my favorite scenes of all time. You worked with Rhiannon in Interludes of Agony 3, and her segment was by far the highlight of that tape.

And why were these scenes so good? Because I could enjoy the otherwise lovely attributes of these women without having to look at their tats, is why!

Put these same performers in a bondage scene where, say, she's tied in a bent-over position being ass-raped, or tied to a post where she's getting whipped, and I would probably not be as thrilled. Or, how about Darling's scene where Dave has her tied to a frame while he pours hot wax on her back? I ran the pics, but I have no desire to watch that scene. All I'm thinking is how much wax will it take to cover those nasty "artworks" on her backside. I would have preferred to see Dave flip her over and wax those fine tits she has, instead. Why intentionally expose...and highlight...her flaws?

But for the rest of you, you need to face reality a bit. Frankly, the kinds of models who are going to deliver the hard realistic bondage, mostly have some tats and stuff.

I understand that as a bondage producer, most of the women that offer themselves up for this sort of action are somewhat "wild" women, and yeah, tattoos and piercings go hand in hand with women who are "into" having this stuff done to them. Check out the stable of freakgirls that Insex employs. Or that Hell's Elevator site that got linked not long ago...those women were gross. I sympathize with you, because you work with the best models you can find, and not every bondage model is going to look like a girl next door. You just try to overlook their flaws and hope your audience will, too.

If I were a bondage producer, I might starve because I wouldn't hire a girl for a production unless she was right for the part. But when I found her...and there are some wholesome-looking girls out there...it would be a damn good video by the time I was through with her. ZFX pulls it off regularly, one of their real strengths. Forbidden is now being extra picky with their casting, and their last two movies were big improvements.

I'm sure this tattoo craze has made it more of a challenge for the bondage producer. What to do? Cover them with makeup, film her from angles that don't show them, or better yet, look extra hard and hire a model that doesn't have them. Casting is still the most important aspect of the business. We'll pay to see a pretty girl put through the treatment, especially an innocent-looking victim. And I refuse to believe that most young women are going to mark themselves up like that.

Put it this way. Tattoos may be the norm, but I don't have to like it, and I also don't have to buy it, either.

I have to agree with Ralphus on this one. At least from personal taste, tattoos are not attractive. IMHO, Nature's hand simply cant be improved upon by the meddling of mere mortals with sharp needles. Unfortunately, there are probably more bondage lovers with feelings like Dan and Dave Darke, who really like and appreciate girls with tattoos. With the obvious appeal of tattooed girls to the masses, the tats probably help sell movies so its certainly understandable that Dan and Dave go that route even if a few of us are turned off.

Scion, The

First of all, I wanted to thank Dan Hawke for his kind words about my latest video, "Dark Day for Darling." Dan has been a good friend and mentor to me, and his help has been invaluable in getting me started in this business. While Dan and I recently decided to go our separate ways from a business perspective, we remain good friends and may eventually collaborate on some future projects.

Regarding the tattoo issue, I have to say that I agree with Dan. From my perspective, a babe is a babe. If a woman is inherently hot, there is little that can be done to cancel this out.

Ideally I would prefer to see a woman without tats, but I am not about to let a few tats spoil for me what is an otherwise hot babe. Would you turn down a new Ferrari because the trim color was not to your taste? I sure wouldn't.

Not everything in life is perfect. Hot cars and hot babes are wonderful things. Sometimes you have to overlook a flaw here and there, but that's a small price to pay for an otherwise great ride.

Just my 2 cents. Enough said. Now go join my site.

Enjoy!

Dave Darke

Would you feel the same about your new Ferrari if it had a big picture of a flower on the hood and Chinese symbols on the doors?

Click the link above for more "Damsels in Bondage" pulp covers.

Ralphus you must have more visitors here than I thought, I took 800 hit on the covers I posted 2 days ago.

Seriously, it seems like some folks on this board want it all - a completely innocent looking hot babe willing to undergo pain and torment for the enjoyment of pervs like us. Sure, in a perfect world, that would happen. However, practically speaking, a girl deviant enough to agree to submit to Dan's, Dave's, Matt's, or PD's tender mercies are going to have a high likelihood of having submitted themselves to the tender mercies of the tattoo artist - that's just life. I prefer no tats, but a girl having tats doesn't exempt her from being sexy.

Speaking particularly on Darling's appeal... well, she is simply the sexiest model active right now, tats or no tats. Would I prefer to see her back clear of that huge cross? Sure, of course! But it's there, and Darling is still sexy, flexible, tough, and stacked, AND willing to undergo very strict bondage and submission beyond the standard for the industry. And the good thing is, if her arms are tied behind her with elbows touching, her tat is pretty much hidden, so as long as you don't think about it, you can go on the illusion (and the illusion is required for ANY bondage model, because they would not be doing what they are doing if they weren't into it) that she is an innocent victim in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Just my unsolicited 2 cents.

http://free.darkestcomics.com/03/?id=templarart

Don't join Violent Comix just for Roberts. They only have the same comix he already has at his own sites and they never update them. Join one of the two sites he currently has. He has also been contributing to BDSM Artwork and Drawing Palace again as of late.

I haven't purchased the VAN 2 yet, but have most of it in the form the FANSADOX Mags from DoFantasy.com. I think all he did was finish it off, but in my opinion it wasn't as good as the first one. Still great, but I just liked the first one better. Just my 2 cents.

Roberts does some great work, especially in the arms overhead position that I like, but the pace of updates is frustrating. I joined once and he didnt update for three weeks when I had my membership for 1 month. Roberts-Comics.com should have better stuff than Darkstar, which when i joined for a month last year had very little in the way of new stuff.

By the way, I remember seeing someone post a list some time ago of bondage scenes (with no penetration I believe) in vanilla porn movies. There were some caps on that site also, but I dont remember where it was. I remember seeing that "La Femme Nikita Denise" was on the list. Can anyone help? I guess these movies usually stay away from bondage because of the potential law violation of penetration while bound.

Ralphus to start with I dont like tattoos either but I also felt your post was a little strong in a few areas. I do realize this is your board and I think you do a great job running it. One of the things you dont put up with is disrespectful posts to each other. I think the same should hold true when we talk about models that appear in films. I didnt like the stable of freaks about the Insex models. Who knows, they may read this board and one day decide to join in. I would feel pretty bad if I were one of them and read something like that on the board.

I also felt the last line about not buying the videos didnt have to be said. I like reading Dan's comments and I wouldnt want him upset with the gimp board. Once again I am not jumping on you Ralphus because I like this board and also get a kick out of your posts.

Now for the tattoos. I dont like them either and Dan and I have discussed this before. I did think about what Dan was saying and the statement about girls with tats not being necessarily "fallen" is a good one. The reason being while talking to Dan in the past he has mentioned a few times while referring to a model what a sweetheart she may be. So the point is Dan does get to know these girls better then we do and really can see that the girl he is working with may really be the next door type even though she has a tat. So Dan I do hear that point loud and clear.

On that same note I think the gimps dont have the luxury of knowing the models so what they see is what they get. Therefore it is also easy to see how they can assume the girl with tats is fallen. I think the problem is the mindset with tats and piercings. When a girl has these I think she is saying look at me. Being that this is the gimp board and it was mainly a ZFX board and ZFX is more of the non-consent theme the model that says look at me doesn't quite fit.

I think the gimpers like to see the model that says dont look at me as their victim. I think a lot of different producers do different things. I can usually find something in most people work I can appreciate. ZFX does really good with the plot thing and the damsel in distress issue but the S&M is fake. Dan's movies aren't big on plots but the binding is good and hard and when the model looks uncomfortable its probably because she really is.

I too think the model and the way she is presented is a very important issue when making the movies. I think back to all those bondage classics and why have they stood the test of time. I think because a good portion of them were made to look like the everyday girl. If I were making some movies today I would look at a few of them and basically duplicate them right down to the outfit. All in all everyone has their own styles, my stores have ZFX in them and also Dan Hawke and Dave Darke and they all rent very well! All producers need to do what they like and what works for them and most of all have fun!

As for my "freakgirl" comment...ah, the dreaded "F" word. Okay, perhaps it's a little overly harsh, and I suppose if I thought any of those tattoo chicks were reading this board, I might use a bit of discretion and say something less offensive. But it really is how I feel. When I see an otherwise pretty girl cover herself in tattoos, stick rings through her nipples and a stud through her tongue, or dye her hair an ungodly color like bright pink, yeah, I'll react by saying negative things about her. You don't think she did those things to draw attention to herself? Of course, she did. And she probably did it to get reactions from men.

It may be hip, it may be fashionable, and some men might really love it, but I sure don't. I look at that and think, what a waste. That's NOT sexy, it's NOT attractive, and I DON'T want to buy your video. I think you're a damn freak for doing that to yourself. So you got your reaction from me. It may not be the one you're looking for, but you did get a reaction. Hope you're happy.

What I also think is terribly ironic is that nearly everyone on this board, almost to a man, says they don't like the tattoos. Certainly our board is too small to be an adequate representation of the vast audience of people who buy these vids, but we're at least a cross section of the community. So nearly everyone says they don't care for tattoos, and yet these girls must be under the assumption that we men must like it, because that seems to be the norm anymore. Who are they listening to that is telling them it's a good idea? Whoever that guy is, he must have a lot of clout with the ladies. I wish he would shut up.

MAV: I had that list of bondage/gag scenes in adult features bookmarked, but it was part of the old Jolly Roper website that closed down. The guy who ran that site has a new site, and I'll contact him and see if he has any news on that page.

And you're right, a lot of adult producers put bondage scenes in vanilla adult features because they understand the appeal of seeing a girl in bondage, but they don't want to test the waters by showing bondage combined with actual hardcore sex. We truly owe a debt of gratitude to those that actually take the risk and go that far for our entertainment...people like Steve Austin, Natasha Flade and others who are willing to go that extra step. It's a potentially dangerous move to make in today's political climate. All the more reason why we should support their efforts.

I just spent the last two days shooting (and you'll be happy to know it was a gorgeous model w/o tats - Sasha Monet) and am kind of exhausted.

I just wanted to say a quick thanx to Mr. Retailer for his kind words and to let Ralphus know I was not offended. I'm not quite that thin skinned! ;)

I don't think there is any producer telling the models to get tats. The models themselves just like them. Most young women I know, even those not in the industry, want to get tats and piercings. That's just the reality. I think they may regret the tats someday, but hey, it's their bodies.

Models do know producers don't like tats. I have one model who loves tattoos and got quite a large one, but she put it somewhere where she can cover it quite easily with her hair. She knows that to put significant tats on her body will hurt her chances to get work.

Still the fact is that it has become the new norm for girls to get tats. Maybe it's a fad that will pass in a few years or so, but right now all the girls want them. I don't know the statistics, but I would be bet at least 30% of all women under 25 have tats and piercings. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it is much, much higher.

We need to face the fact that more and more young people, men and women, are opting to tattoo themselves. What is considered "beautiful" in a culture is always evolving. One needs only to page through National Geographic to see evidence of the wide variety of ways a culture might define "beauty".

I agree some of the models might find Ralphus' description of FreakGirl offputting, but I certainly wouldn't say he doesn't have the right to say that.

Anyway. I'm glad this started some discussion, though I doubt anyone will change their core opinion on the tats issue. I will tell you though, that you can expect to see more, not less tattoos in future. And I don't just mean in my own work.

One last thing, I have turned models away who had too many tats or really horrible ones. I remember a girl who contacted me who had a cat's face tattooed right above her pussy. That was a little too much pussy for me!

I also recently declined another model due to tattoos. However I have come to appreciate the woman even with the tattoo, as long as it isn't horribly placed (writing across the tops of both breasts, the double pussy I mentioned) and the tats themselves are tasteful or artistic in their own right.

Though I must admit, I still prefer a clean canvas to paint with ropes!

~Dan

I can tolerate an ankle tattoo like Lisa's, a small one on the back, or even some of the link-type tattoos that some women have wrapped around the upper part of the arm (I don't know what you call them). As a general rule, the more attractive the woman is, the more forgiving I can become. But my preference is no tattoos at all.

Still, tattoos and body piercings aren't my top issue. My biggest complaint, as I've mentioned in previous postings, is with boob jobs, particularly the really fake ones. Drives me nuts. That's one of the problems I have with Stacy Burke -- she's a beautiful woman, she does bondage, but those balloons on her chest look silly.

In previous postings, I mentioned that the provincial government here has been ducking a court ruling against the province's censor board by moving new legislation that upholds censorship.

Well, the legislation was passed this week. It says the government can continue to ban "obscenity" under the Criminal Code.

To add salt to the wound, check the news story below. Because the government is no longer banning "arts" movies, it has the gall to announce it is getting out of the censorship business. In fact, MOST of what the censor board bans is porn, and that continues the SAME as always.

It almost gives you a passing respect for the religious nuts around President Bush. At least when they talk about banning porn, they're honest about what they're doing.

----

CENSORS' JOB DONE

(From the Toronto Sun) ONTARIO'S FILM reviewers are putting away their "censored" stamp for good after the government passed third and final reading of a bill that will put an end to their work.

Only films that are found to breach the Criminal Code will be banned from the province following a court ruling last year that found Ontario censorship laws flawed.

Films will now simply be classified up to the most restrictive "R" rating unless they are deemed illegal.

Almost 14 months ago, Ontario's Superior Court ruled that the board's authority to approve and censor films was too broad and violated freedom of expression.

Consumer and Business Services Minister Jim Watson has been pushing for a national rating system to eliminate the need for each province to put their own ratings on widely released movies coming from Hollywood and other major movie distributors.

As bad as things are getting here in the States, we haven't gotten that bad...yet. Although I'm sure there are some right-wing prudes in the Department of Justice that would like to see that happen here, if they can get away with it. For now, at least, it still looks like we have it better than some countries out there, even our neighbors to the North.

It just makes me wonder...what is all the fuss about? Why are people so determined to take away our porn? At times, it seems like our sensibilities are stuck back in the Victorian era, rather than advancing as a people into the 21st century. Sexuality and freedom of expression are a good thing, a positive thing. Why must some continue to think backwards and conclude that censorship and repression are the way to go? Next thing you know, there will be book burnings. This is part of what Hitler did. Scary.
