Warrior Queen: I've never seen it and, in fact, had never heard of it (the last Masterpiece Theatre show I recall seeing was I, Claudius sometime back in the '70s). But it sure sounds good. It is available in Canada and I'll definitely add it to my list of films to check out.

-----

Antichrist: According to a report in The Sun (UK), British censors have given the green light to the film Antichrist, one of the "torture porn" titles that shocked 'em at this year's Cannes Film Festival. This is a positive sign, although I suspect many GIMPers in the UK would be happier to not have any censors in place at all.

-----

Sex in ZFX: I'm with those who say it's best to leave things as they are. In Goon Squad, for example, I agree with Ralphus that the simulated sex was pretty convincing. I also think Rick made an excellent point that the actresses who appear in ZFX movies don't run the risk of getting HIV.

-----

Deadlines: It's funny how things happen. As some GIMPers may recall, I had said back in May that July 1 would be the last day I would keep some files on my computer for possible upload to a popular website that's been MIA, unless I heard some definitive news about the future of that site. I thought that was a reasonable deadline -- but I guess my old computer had other ideas. It crashed two weeks ago and all the files I had collected are gone. So the deadline is a moot point.

Beat It: This is admittedly off topic but I've pretty much had my fill of Michael Jackson coverage. If you didn't see it, check out the Rippy Awards at the Daily Show website. The biggest laugh is the clip of a reporter saying last Thursday was a historic moment because Michael Jackson can only die once.

-----

Finally, we don't have a members' log in at the GIMP. However, just so Ralphus doesn't have to worry that I might be an imposter posing as the recently missing 'A Canadian,' here's a gratuitous photo of host Myleene Klass from the recently ended show, I'm a Celebrity: Get Me out of Here!.

I'd like to wish a happy Canada Day to any Canadians who might be visiting the site today.

One thing I really like about ZFX movies is that the actresses used seem to be the exclusive rights of Rick Masters. Sure, there are plenty of extremely hot bondage performers out there, but they show up in so many sites that I probably would prefer it if they don't appear in ZFX movies.

I've pretty much had my fill of Michael Jackson coverage.

Amen to that. I would have much more respect for that nutjob if he had built a huge dungeon instead of that silly Neverland park and invited submissive female fans or even hookers over to his place instead of kids. I'm sure Janet Jackson has some sort of S/M arrangement at her place.

Steve Power: Man, that sucks. Not only do you have to deal with censors, the religious right, pirates and militant feminists, but now credit card processors are ripping you off? I sincerely salute anyone who toughs it out in this business.

Black produced some interesting stuff, including A Week and a Half in the Life of a Prostitute, and it's disappointing to learn of this outcome.

I saw their "controversial" film Forced Entry and while it had at least one hardcore rape scene along with simulated (and totally fakey) snuff scenes, it was no worse than a hundred other films I've seen in my life. What's disappointing is that the judge presiding over the case, U.S. District Judge Gary L. Lancaster, actually threw the case out in 2005, only to have it reinstated later that year. It does sound like he deliberately gave them minimum sentences to make them eligible for earlier release, though.

Still, the cost has been high for Rob Black. He's probably coughed up millions of dollars in legal fees, had to shut his website down, he's probably a broken man financially by now. All because he made some movies, and because his stuff was a little harder-edged than your average adult fare. The Republicans are out of the White House now; this shouldn't have happened. Of course, this is all the after-effect of what occurred while Bush was in office, so maybe it was too late to make this go away. At any rate, it's still quite disappointing.

This is rather ironic timing, too, since the talk here lately has been about whether Rick should incorporate hardcore sex into his films. I think one of the reasons he hasn't had to deal with overzealous federal prosecutors is because his movies aren't hardcore. All the penetrations are simulated, and maybe that's how he's been able to skate past the government goon squads for all these years. Because IMO, the fantasy movies he makes are a lot more "extreme" than what I've seen from Max Hardcore or Extreme Associates. I compare them more to explicit horror films with lots of skin rather than actual pornos. And frankly, that's why they're so damn good, and that's why I'd rather watch a ZFX film over any of the "best" adult movies being cranked out today.

Just remember, though, the tremendous risks that filmmakers like Rick and others are taking when they produce extreme movies for our enjoyment. I don't think I'd willingly gamble on possible jail time just for the chance to make a movie. But they do, and they need our support. Freedom isn't free, not here, not in this day and age. We can't take it for granted.

I'm disappointed in the colleges and universities in this country and the failure of the young people to speak up. Their freedom is at risk and they don't give a shit.

The relationship between violent porn and actual violence should be studied in detail. It is my firm belief that violent porn prevents violent crime by medicating those most likely to commit that crime. We need data to support that thesis. The data needs to be generated in peer reviewed studies by colleges. It needs to be available for defense attorneys to use against the system. As with everything else....a porn producer gets poor legal support. Their attorneys let them down.....along with their customers.....and their banks....and their country. A country that supports free pornography....yet jails pornographers. That's who you are.

This case started before 2003 when AG John Ashcroft decided to piss away thousands of the DOJ budget on going after Extreme Associates of North Hollywood. This is no different than the fucking gaggle of human waste that went after Tommy Chong for selling bongs on the internet. The feds do not have to back down even if they know its going to be a light sentence for the defendant.

This is a huge knock to the first amendment and to anyone who makes or produces adult content. The hard on hunters are out of DC for the current time but this fucking bullshit case should have died when federal judge Lancaster threw it out in the first case. Bob Black got off light as far as jail goes, but think of the fucking raping that he and his wife went through. Their lives will never be the same again based on the big brother mentality that allows our government to invade the lives of private people who are doing nothing to really harm this country. Fuck the far right pisses me off sometimes to a point where I want to take a big shit on anything that looks like an elephant.

RFPIX has been banned in many countries since its founding in 1998 with Red Feline on the Cross. JJ received too many letters and emails to count asking if it was real snuff. This year we got another one asking the same question. From my end, someone would have to be crazy to think the actress really dies at the end of the movie. This is one of the reasons we no longer ship movies with covers. All of our DVDs now look like software in a paper envelope. Now, even those in England can buy our stuff and not have it stolen by customs.

JJ only sold a few VHS copies of Red Feline on the Cross with (real) sex included. He edited out those scenes a few months after. Now, I'm trying to put that back in, but frankly, I'm afraid of prosecution. Granted, our cinematography is not the same style as hardcore flicks, but I'm still in a quandary. Especially now that we're going to start shooting our next production. I think it's a shame that movie producers should feel afraid. It's not conducive to creativity.

The dilemma, as I see it, is in effectively combating censorship. We in America are living in an extremely judgmental society. So it is difficult, if not professionally suicidal, to actually endorse BDSM, GIMP, or even in some instances gay and lesbian lifestyles. Very few people will vote FOR a law protecting sodomy. So it is absolutely crucial to vote AGAINST a law making sodomy illegal. As I see it, we are trapped into fighting a defensive war. And sadly, the ground we lose may be difficult, if not impossible, to regain.

The relationship between violent porn and actual violence should be studied in detail. It is my firm belief that violent porn prevents violent crime by medicating those most likely to commit that crime. We need data to support that thesis. The data needs to be generated in peer reviewed studies by colleges. It needs to be available for defense attorneys to use against the system.

OK, so it's only my second day back and already I'm jumping up on my soapbox.

While I understand the intent, I have to say I have real problems with the idea of gathering evidence to prove that violent porn isn't harmful, or that it may actually support a better society.

As a hardline libertarian, I struggle with the idea that GIMPers should have to prove that violent porn isn't harmful. In my view, if the state is going to prosecute me for owning violent porn, or it's going to prosecute producers for creating violent porn, then the burden of proof should be solely on the state to prove that violent porn is harmful. And I mean producing tangible examples of harm -- not some mealy mouthed nonsense about "community standards" or hurting the feelings of some uptight Christians.

In my view, we shouldn't accept any attempts to shift the onus to us to prove the materials aren't harmful. Unless the state can prove the materials are harmful, adults should be free to watch whatever they want.

-----

The blog site DailyJav recently had an interesting item on what has happened to retired Japanese porn stars, including some familiar GIMP stars such as Yuka Haneda (Slave Island 5). I can't explain why but I was surprised at the number who are now married.

That's some very interesting information. I think it's time to break out the cookies and give the Red Feline site a closer look.

I agree. The censors come from all sides. But in the Extreme Associates case, the key figure is Mary Beth Buchanan, a perfect representative of Asscroft's misguided policy to ram his sense of morality down everyone's throats. If anyone should be prosecuted, it should be her for wasting everyone's time and money as well as her blatant abuse of power.

Unfortunately, there's already crap out there like the Meese Commission that are used to show that porn is harmful to society, even if scientists refute the "facts" stated in those reports.

Steve Power wrote: You are all guilty of not speaking up!

Here's my problem. For most of my life, I felt that my desire to see movies with women being raped and tortured made me a freak, so I kept it hidden as best as I could. I still do to a large extent. Although I have talked about my fetish with my understanding wife, this forum is about the only place where I feel comfortable enough to really open up and discuss such matters. As the Extreme Associates case shows, society as a whole is far from ready to accept the extreme BDSM films that we GIMPers love.

I've spent tons of money on bondage movies, websites and bondage paraphernalia. I've donated to free speech groups and voted against the religious right and any politician with a censorship agenda. That's about as far as I will take it. I'm not a public figure but I still can't risk the consequences of coming right out and demanding more freedom for BDSM producers. I could not put my wife at risk of being the target of neighborhood gossip ("there's that woman who's married to that freak who watches rape and torture videos") or have my children subject to bullying at school ("Ha! Ha! Your father is a pervert!") I'm open to suggestions on how else to help the industry, but I must selfishly look after the interests of the family first.

----------

Jane von Detlefson: It's hard to believe that so many people would think that a readily available website is selling actual snuff movies. I wonder how many were just naive or ignorant, and what percentage were actually looking for the real thing. The fact that the same actresses appear in different movies should have tipped them off.

Unfortunately, there's already crap out there like the Meese Commission that are used to show that porn is harmful to society, even if scientists refute the "facts" stated in those reports.

I'm comfortable with the idea of refuting the findings from the Meese Commission and other questionable reports. But in my mind, there's a big difference between refuting that nonsense and going one step further by demonstrating that violent porn isn't harmful.

It may sound like I'm splitting hairs but I don't think I am.

To me, it would be similar to the situation if the police were to charge me with having committed a crime. In court, the prosecution has the responsibility to prove that I am guilty. I would not be required to prove that I am "innocent" -- my lawyer would simply have to convince the court that the prosecution hasn't proven I am guilty.

I view the violent pornography debate in much the same way.

Yes, I think GIMPers should challenge bogus claims that porn is harmful to society. But I don't think we should be required to go the extra step and prove it isn't harmful. As I said before, adults should automatically have the right to view whatever they want unless the state can prove the material is harmful. The burden of proof should be lie with the officials who are restricting people's rights, not with those whose rights are being restricted.

That's my humble opinion.

Brutus - I found it hard to believe until I read the letters and emails myself. I have no idea where people get these ideas. It may have started back in 1998 when JJ had just come out with Red Feline on the Cross and Camille had not yet acted in anything else. Camille has received emails that ask how long it took for her hands to heal from the nails. We have a good laugh about it whenever we receive an email asking if we are making snuff. Right, I die and am resurrected every time I make a video. It's a miracle!

Our next provincial election is in 2011 and one of the issues will likely be the human rights commissions, those quasi-judicial bodies (some call them kangaroo courts) that prosecute people for political incorrectness. I believe the human rights commissions will be an issue because the newly elected leader of the Conservative party, Tim Hudak, has vowed to scrap the provincial commission in Ontario and replace it with a judicial process. During the recent race for the Conservative leadership, the media certainly said it would be an issue.

As elkcreek and other regulars know, I am strongly opposed to the 'thought police' in Canada and will be a loud advocate in favor of scrapping these commissions.

However, because these bodies often deal with issues around race, I know their defenders will accuse any and all opponents of being closet racists. So how will I defend myself against allegations of being a racist?

Simple -- I will point out that I have also spent years being a strong opponent of film censorship boards, particularly the censorship in Ontario and across Canada of any porn films that show bondage. I will remind people that I have spoken out on this issue for years, and that my opposition to film censorship has nothing whatsoever to do with race (indeed, I was speaking out on this issue long before I discovered the GIMP site).

So there you have it -- the human rights commission issue will give me an opportunity to defend myself by reminding people of the censorship issues in Canada for people who like bondage material. I will be able to defend my views on human rights commissions while at the same time advocating for the GIMP cause.

Side note: I didn't make a mistake when I posted the date at the top. Every year is almost like Nineteen Eighty-Four in Canada.

If you "die" on a cross of course you get resurrected! Isn't that how it works?

And the "bondage defense" is a novel and effective way to refute the inevitable accusations of racism. We GIMPers like to see women of ALL races, colors and nationalities stripped, tied up and tortured.

jhlipton: If you "die" on a cross of course you get resurrected! Isn't that how it works?

Only if you're Jewish!

Once again the face of fascism creeps into the system. That a free thinking student cannot study violent pornography for fear of getting his University in trouble. That any conclusions reached in the study will be unpublished if they fail to fall into line with policy.

My thesis is based on a sound psychological theory. That masturbation relieves stress that could otherwise lead to crime. That isn't an altogether fucked up idea and it needs to be studied. A country that does not live in fear would gladly hop at the opportunity to study such a powerful potential insight into human behavior.

Secondly....explain to me why you can have your sister executed for infidelity in some Muslim states.....but you cannot purchase porn? Why do we hear about these underage girls being forced into marriage in religious cults where porn is illegal? And why do most of the hardcore sex offenders that murder their victims come from areas where porn is illegal? Why do the nations that accept all forms of pornography have lower crime rates? You explain those things to me with hard facts.....not hearsay and supposition.....and I'll accept that porn doesn't prevent crime.

Thirdly, whether my thesis that porn prevents crime is true or not.....as an American....I have a right to believe that it is so.....and my right is protected by the constitution. At least the constitution that I was taught in grade school. I'm not sure whether it exists anymore.

I'm figuring out an exit strategy and getting out of the business as soon as possible. You won't stand behind your producers. And I'm sick of hearing about this democrat republican bullshit. Both sides are at fault. Stop blaming the Republicans....my best customers. Both the Republicans and Democrats are a bunch of scared pussies....waiting for the shit to rain down on their pathetic little do nothing but tax and spend heads.

I sell one download for every 100,000 that are stolen and given away by websites that use it to advertise free porn so the mother fuckers in DC don't need to see it on their credit card statements. AT&T makes more money from my product than I do. Go celebrate your independence while these producers sit in their cells and listen to the fireworks out the window.

It's too bad that you feel that way. I for one would be disappointed to see you leave this community. However if that's how you feel, then I guess it's your choice. Although I have purchased memberships with Powershotz.com and may buy again when I can fit it into my budget, I can learn to live with it if your site disappears someday.

As far as your contention that both sides are at fault and to stop blaming Republicans, well, I agree that there are some Dems that are anti porn too, especially since it seems politically correct, but look at the Big Picture. Make no mistake about it, if the Dems had been in power the past 8 years, you wouldn't be seeing any of this. It's the Republicans that make it an agenda and waste taxpayer money on stupid shit like going after Extreme Associates because they happened to see a segment about one of their shoots on a PBS broadcast.

One could say that it was a pretty meager victory for the government in that they spent years prosecuting them and ended up with a minimum sentence, but in the end, they still won and ruined the guy, which was their ultimate goal. He's out of business and probably bankrupt. They know even when they have no case, they can still destroy people financially, which sets a dangerous precedent when you can be prosecuted and go to jail for making a movie.

As far as the argument over whether violent porn prevents violent crime, well, Rick Masters e-mailed me with the link I'm putting in my Homepage URL. This study was done at Clemson. I posted it here before and it's pretty lengthy but worth checking out.

There was another study done at Northwestern University in 2006 with similar results but more specific on violent porn and its effects on people. Both reached the conclusion that porn prevents crimes rather than cause them. The incidence of rape in the United States declined 85% in the past 25 years while access to pornography has become freely available to teenagers and adults. The Nixon and Reagan Commissions tried to show that exposure to pornographic materials produced social violence. The reverse may be true: that pornography has reduced social violence. So don't believe the myths; the facts are right there.

The defense rests.

I suspect some American GIMPers get tired of hearing about state censorship, Customs hassles, and the many other problems affecting those who live in the lands of the not-so-free. It's almost like we're in different worlds. American GIMPers should be grateful to live in a country that respects freedom of expression and generally lets law-abiding adults live their lives as they wish.

I thought Politics weren't allowed on this board anyway?

That's a tricky one. In my view, the rules around the discussion of politics on this forum could use a bit of tweaking.

In theory, the rules are fine. As Ralphus has stated (in response to one of my posts, back in March), it is OK to discuss politics if the discussion is "on topic" -- in other words, political discussions are OK provided they are connected to issues of censorship and other issues that affect our ability to watch GIMP movies. That is how it should be. I don't see how a forum that discusses violent pornography can possibly hope to avoid discussions of censorship, etc., particularly when pornographers such as Rob Black and Max Hardcore are being jailed for their works.

In practice, though, I worry there is a pro-Democrat bias. As a non-American, it seems to me it is pretty much open season on Republicans but there is less tolerance for people questioning the motives of the Democrats.

That may be unfair. Heck, I may be wrong. But it sure seems to me that concerns about the forum becoming "too political" almost always seem to come up when the discussion has shifted to the Democrats. It almost never happens when someone is bashing former president Bush or the Republicans.

It's something to think about, particularly now that the Democrats are running things in America.

I will repeat, I'm not advocating for less politics on the forum. If anything, perhaps I'm seeking greater tolerance for political discussions. I think the central theme of this site -- the enjoyment of fictional portrayals of Girls In Merciless Peril -- is to some extent a political discussion.

As a non-American, it seems to me it is pretty much open season on Republicans but there is less tolerance for people questioning the motives of the Democrats.

I would guess that the open season stems from at least two factors: 1) Republicans had pretty much run the store for the past several years, and 2) they've accused "liberals" of undermining the country's morals as a tactic for getting into the store in the first place. It's hard to criticize liberals for being censorial when the other party is accusing them of being too permissive. But Democrats have been generally attacked on "political correctness", so they have a few bones in their closets as well. To a non-American, I can explain the general political tenor of the American citizenry in two words: Short. Memories.

Ralphus: As someone with a background in social research, I have always been skeptical of studies that attempt to discern the effects of pornography or media violence, one way or another. But I will take a look at the material you posted, because I'm always curious about these things.

Now for today's riddle. Which do you think has a greater impact on the impressionable minds of young children: The available of pornographic products for sale to consenting adult customers; or incidents like the one reported in my URL link?

1. http://www.youtube.com/user/littlesiuk - This guy made a short film tribute to 24 in 6 parts, called 60. It is very well done, and there is a hot British chick tied and gagged and roughed up throughout.

2. http://www.youtube.com/user/comscidoc This guy has accumulated quite a nice collection of foreign DID clips.

3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li5PgcXLafg New movie coming out called Deadgirl. Looks like a goood horror film, and I think it may have some potential too. Wish it had Natalie Avital!

Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised that the Sun included a few Ladies of Color among the paler-than-pale Usual Suspects. Very tasty for this chocolate-lover!

Judging from the tone and what you wrote in your last few posts, I can understand why you want out. Bondage producers have enemies on all sides while file sharers continue to rip you off seemingly with immunity. I can't imagine working in a legitimate business where if the DA gets a bug up his or her ass, I could go to prison. It may be true that people like me should be more vocal and do more, but the harsh realities of what is considered socially acceptable prevent me from doing so. Sorry.

I still believe that society as a whole will never fully accept extreme pornography, nor will any politician step forward to defend it. Scot mentioned the types of porn that come out of Japan and its low crime rate. While the Japanese are certainly more open to extreme porn, the average GIMPer there rarely advertises his fetish. If the Japanese government decided to censor extreme porn, I highly doubt the populace would be marching in the streets in protest. (Others factors are obviously involved, like cultural differences, women's role, yakuza influence, money, etc.) I agree with your theory that violent porn reduces crime, but I still think that no matter how many studies come out, it won't change the general public's perceptions that associate BDSM porn with violence against women, no matter how misguided those views are.

I have a ton of respect for what you have done. You obviously are doing something you love. I hope you stay in the business, but if not, I wish you luck on whatever you decide to do.

That's a fair observation. I don't mind the political discussions on the forum, except when they become polarized and name-calling ensues. I have on occasion dumped on Bush here, mainly because of Ashcroft and Gonzales. But I also appreciate the comments on the other side by people like elkcreek, which are rational and relate to the topic at hand. And when we have people in the industry explaining the shit they have to put up with, politics will inevitably become a topic of discussion.

----------

OK, back to Girls in Merciless Peril. I don't know what to make of "Deadgirl." I hope it's not just a dead body that's bound.

I think this movie called The Horsemen has some GIMP potential.

(Ever write one of those sentences where you're like, who writes stuff like that? Is this my life!!!!)

I just saw THE HANGOVER finally. Did anyone else recognize the woman who rang them up at the gas station? It was TOMIKO!!! ...

Only on the GIMP board would that sentence make perfect sense and provide valuable information. Thanks!

I think this movie called The Horsemen has some GIMP potential.

Naked Women hanging from hooks? I guess it wouldn't matter if they were already dead would it? Also I love a Girl with a duct tape gag.

On a related matter. Ever since early Caveman drew naked people on cave walls we have had comments on porn and we still haven't figured out what to do. Remember Irving Klaw and John Willie? They had harassment and prosecution way back then. What they were doing now seems tame.

Deadgirl (2008): What if you and your friend were goofing off in an abandoned mental institution, and in the basement found a naked girl chained to the bed. At first you think she's dead, but she's alive!!

Do you call A) the police? B) Unchain the poor girl and take her to a hospital? Or, C) fulfill all the crazy sex fantasies you've ever had?

If your answer is C, then you have the gist of this movie. It turns out the "deadgirl" is really "undeadgirl" and can't be killed. Don't ask, it's never explained. Obviously the result of some experiment gone wrong (or perhaps right depending on your perspective).

The bottom line, is you get to see her chained, naked and tied up and fucked for a significant portion of the movie, as more teenage guys with more hormones than brains select option "C" rather than any kind of moral choice. Apparently, the youth of today have no empathy whatsoever.

Rickie and J.T find this girl, and while Rickie won't submit to his darkside, fortunately, J.T. completely crosses over. However, Rickie has a crush on the super hot chick JoAnn... who is dating the school jock. Wow, that never happens in movies... Anyway, the jocks beat up the nerds, so what do the nerds do? Take them to see the naked, chained up zombie chick. "She likes it in the mouth," Rickie encourages the muscle bound idiot... Hmm, I wonder what's going to happen? While it doesn't get bit off, but the guy does catch something from the bite. Is there some subtext there the writers are trying to convey??

Anyway, the zombie chick gets her face pummeled for biting the guy's dick, and as the movie progresses she gets to looking worse and worse. Eventually, JT and his other psycho buddy Clint figure that the Mental Hospital would be a great place to kidnap and take another LIVE chick!

Well their first attempt goes awry as the "victim" proceeds to kick their nerdy asses. However, who would happen by just afterwards? If you are saying "JoAnn," you get a cookie.

Of course Rickie finds her before anything can happen to her (damn!), but mayhem ensues, the zombie chick gets free, and she ain't happy. The zombie chick is hungry and has a taste for the flesh of her rapists! (more subtext?). JT stabs poor JoAnn before he dies, and Rickie finds her right before she "dies."

Cut to a happy Rickie in class, looking good, wearing nice clothes, hair combed and clean, and a little pep in his step.

Cut to the basement, and another girl tied to the bed.
Apparently, this zombie thing is catchy, as we see her blood shot eyes open... End credits.

Overall rating for this movie: B+
GIMP Rating: A - Lots of nudity and bondage, and brief shots of rape.

Despite the fact the GIMP scenes have received an A grade, I'm not sure I'm sold on this one. This movie seems kinda goofy to me. I guess by choosing option C, the teenagers have their hearts (or something) in the right place but I don't know that seeing a zombie abused and violated is my idea of a fun evening.

Yes, Deadgirl has got nudity, bondage and rape but the question still has to be asked -- are the scenes arousing?

There are some great scenes of her chained up naked. Chained spreadeagle on the bed, Chained bent over the bed with legs spread and chained to the posts, Tied spreadeagle face down on the bed NAKED.

Sorry, I guess I was unclear. Did I mention that she NEVER wears a stitch of clothing throughout this entire movie? Later on, as she gets abused more she looks rough, but in the beginning its pretty hot... IMHO. I'm no necro, but I'd have done her too!

Still, it's interesting that someone has made a movie with the GIMP mindset as a starting point. And after all our discussion about censorship, here we have a naked woman tied up or chained as a main attraction in a movie. How often do you see that? And the ending...well, that truly is a GIMPer's dream. Too bad it comes just before the final credits.

I found the movie absolutely fascinating as a film, but I wished the ending would have come in the middle.

I wish Extreme had fought it all the way, but being in that situation it becomes very hard and Rob got virtually no support from the industry. I understand his decision to take the plea deal. The government has unlimited resources and we are very limited in what we can do to fight. If the industry united to fight verbally and financially, these things would never happen. But there are plenty those IN the industry that don't want to compete with guys who push things. They are happy when the trouble makers get hit. The power to indict is in essence, the power to destroy. I would call it another government "victory."

Max may be a goof-ball, but you have to give him his due for being a gutsy guy who went to the wall for his beliefs. Now he's in a cage for 4 years. He will probably be a registered sex offender when he gets out. He is a convicted felon. He will not be able to vote or have a firearm for at least 5 years.

I hope the appeals court will overturn his conviction, but the federal courts are stacked with Bush appointees so that is unlikely.

I am not a big fan of his later movies, but I salute him for being a true patriot. Max may seem an unlikely hero, but he is a hero. He showed a lot of courage to stand against the government, but in the end he was sold out by 12 jurors who had no understanding of what freedom is all about. It was a crushing defeat.

Now John Stagliano is up to bat. The mainstream industry just found out that they are not safe either. It will be interesting to see if the government continues to pursue this one. It's all about the fear, instilling fear at every level of the adult industry is their goal. And of course, winning and/or self perpetuation.

The Ira Isaacs case is still floating around out there too. That one is a Federal cluster fuck which would be laughable if not that a man's freedom hangs in the balance. The Judge in the case was found to have a publicly viewable site with a bunch of porn, including scatological humor and pissing and cameltoe shots on it.

Of course HE is not facing jail, just got a lil' reprimand. So that's how it works. Only "certain" people are held accountable, but if you're a Judge, you're special. Ira will still have to go to trial for HIS porn. Sure it's pissing and shatting material, not my cup of excrement, but its no ones business if that's what you like. All adults doing stuff for adults. The Feds think it IS their business I guess. Nero fiddles while Rome burns....

Throwing people in jail for making a film with consenting adults should NEVER happen in a free society. Yet, it is happening. It is disappointing to say the least.

It remains to be seen what the Obama administration will do going forward. Obama, unlike Clinton, did not fire all the US attorneys, so Buch@n@n still has her job as do all the Bush appointees. His pick for AG is not a very good one IMHO. The "unit" in the D0J, which was disbanded by Clinton/Reno remains intact thus far. I still have hope things will get better, but thus far not much has changed.

OK, enough political carping.

Rick

Furthermore, Stagliano is saying he's going to actively seek publicity for his case.

I do think this case could be very tricky for the political left in America, pitting the anti-porn crusaders against those who put greater emphasis on freedom of speech. it could get really messy. If I were advising Obama, I'd be recommending the administration find a way to get this case dropped as quickly as possible.

Now a suggestion for Rick. I'm going to get Goon Squad real soon, but the thing that let me down the most was the contraption covering her face during the electrical torture scene. I don't get this stuff and it's common in ZFX films. I don't want to see a girl with a bag, box, bowl, or balloon toy covering her face. I want to see her fear and her reactions to the situation. I suspect there are many others here (perhaps a majority) that feel the same way.

One of the reasons I suspect many of us like mainstream gimp action is because (in many cases) the actresses sell it better. I also believe that the reason Lisa Kinkaid is probably your most popular actress is she expresses her self exceptionally and believably (when you allow us to see it). The bowl on her head in the electrical torture scene in Ballista 2 is one of my major cinematic gimp disappointments.

Now Dead girl, Why do NONE of the local rental places have this stuff? The same is true of "Backwoods" which looks like an excellent gimp flick, UUGH!!

One other note, I may have found another source for GIGA and ZEN DVD's that can get everything they make. More about that later

Now, to the politics. The reason I fear the Dems on this stuff is they like growing government. Here's a real simple fictional example. Let's suppose the Dems decide to set up a government agency to censor speech content. And the first thing they do is take Rush Limbaugh off the air, I'm sure many here would be in tears (sarcasm). OK, a year later the Republicans get elected, what do you think they are going to do with that new government power?

As much as people love to talk about small government the odds are the new Republican bureaucrat will use his power on NPR or Olberman. The point is, once we give the power to government, they NEVER give it up. That's why I'm for small limited government. So remember that when you're cheering for some new government program that is about to limit more freedoms for the individual. The guys you like, may not end up running the program. Mark Steyn wrote a great piece on this (Ironically highly critical of Bush). Linked to above.

---------

Rick: Thanks for the insight on what's going on in the courts these days.

But there are plenty those IN the industry that don't want to compete with guys who push things. They are happy when the trouble makers get hit.

What a bunch of morons. If the industry is unwilling to stick together against censorship, there really is no hope, and their turn will eventually come. It's already happening. I also agree with A Canadian; the Stagliano case could be a watershed.

The Judge in the case was found to have a publicly viewable site with a bunch of porn, including scatological humor and pissing and cameltoe shots on it.

One of the most annoying things about censorship and "family values" is the utter hypocrisy among the rich and powerful. Nothing surprises me anymore.

I guess it goes to show that you can have copious nudity, bondage, violence and implied rape, and in the hands of the right (or wrong) filmmakers, it can end up less than arousing. Still, the premise was fascinating. I am not a fan of zombie movies, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be this one. Night of the Living Dead doesn't compare to what I will henceforth refer to as Rape of the Living Dead.

-----

elkcreek: I disagree with your fictional premise. You begin with a blatant fallacy and proceed to build your case on it, specifically, "Dems... like growing government." Democrats cannot hold a candle to the growth of government under the Bush administration. Just look at the entire Homeland Security agency, a huge all-encompassing bureaucracy with, arguably, the mandate to do exactly what you fictionally predict. In fact, NPR did come under attack by the Bush administration, which went so far as to force out the head of Public Broadcasting and install a less liberal alternative. So you have the fictional situation correct, but manage to foist the fear onto the wrong political party.

I agree that once power and freedom are ceded to the government, it is difficult, if not impossible, to regain. And the Democrats may do it. But the Republicans have already started down that road under Bush and I am uncomfortably supporting the lesser of two evils until and better third alternative comes along.

Anyway back to gimp, I like to see a girl pass out in pain as part of an interrogation or gimp situation. But, I don't like to see a whole movie of a girl who is passed out the whole time, necrophelia not my bag. I do find it a turn on when a girl is revived in gimp scene with water. There are not enough gimp/torture scenes with realistic water torture or a tortured girl passing out and getting revived with water. Giga TBB 19 had some great scenes like this.

Yeah, I hoped that there would be better shots of JoAnn at the end, but no luck.

As a movie concept it was really unique... which is something hard to come by these days.

Ralphus: I like the vidcaps from Goon Squad; keep them coming, if you please.

Regarding U.S. Attorneys, given recent posts: the post of U.S. Attorney or Assistant U.S. Attorney are always political appointees, but I believe they are for a fixed term of years, not the tenure of the President who appointed them. Some Presidents keep the U.S. Attorney around if he/she does a good job on all prosecutions, others fire them-as is the President's perogrative-and replace them with their own people. Many do leave on their own to pursue private practice again, or run for office on their own (Rudy Guilani, for example), and are replaced by the current administration's appointee.

I couldn't find a source to link to that sells it, so I used the Official Website on your review page, which is, as always, in my Homepage URL above. If you stick around that site long enough, you'll be reaching for a rolled-up newspaper to smack your computer screen with. Yeah, you'll see. Try chasing them with your curser.

-------------

Rick: Always great to see you back here, and especially good to hear about recent events from your learned perspective. I wasn't aware of either the Stagliano case nor the Isaacs one, but I did some research and found a page that shows some of the stuff that was one the Isaacs judge's personal website:

What "Stuff" was on Judge Kozinski's Personal Website?

Hypocrisy all around, is all I can say.

Censorship has been around since before I was born and it will continue long after we're all dead and gone. What gives the government the right to judge another person's art and lock them up for it? Like you said, if it's consensual material, it's all good in my book and leave them the hell alone. Porn is not for everybody, but some people like it and what they view in the privacy of their own homes is their business. It was distressing to read that Mary Beth Buchanan is still in office; I just assumed she got sent on her merry way when the new administration took over. Obviously, there are still a lot of enemies of free speech in positions of power, and that's scary.

-------------

On a personal note, this may be my last post to the forum for a while. I'm due to leave for Maryland for an extended stay beginning Tuesday morning, and I won't be back until next week. Scribbler will be running the site in my absence. Keep up the chatter and I'll be back when I can.

Attackers has updated its website to list the upcoming August releases and the next Slave Island title, New Slave Island 6, has got some serious star power. The three stars of the film, Yuna Mizumoto, Rei Aoki and Ryo Takamiya, are all favorites of mine and have all delivered great performances in other films.

It's funny that this latest Slave Island flick is only two hours long but it sure looks like it could be really good.

I noticed that the above movie now had a release with English Subtitles, and so, thinking it wouldn't hurt to press my luck I emailed them asking if there was any way I could just get the subtitles in text format (I know how to add them in myself) since I already paid for it once and the prices for subbed/unsubbed versions are the same. Guess what they did? They just gave me access to the whole thing! They said it wasn't what they usually do but in my case they'd make an exception. Definately not something I'm used to seeing with pay for use sites like that.

I noticed this movie at Video Mayhem (above URL). Could it have been inspired by this forum?

The story might have been but I don't think anyone here was involved in the casting. Check out the tats on that woman's arms -- if Ralphus were here, he'd be disgusted.

I have to admit, I found that clip entertaining but I don't know that it was particularly erotic. I prefer my whipping victims to be bound and the villain doing the whipping to be male. Still, the clip was good for a laugh, particularly the way Marina Sirtis stayed in the fight after her top was gone. And the enthusiasm of the crowd added to the fun.

I guess Marina Sirtis is (was?) pretty proud of her breasts (and with good reason). She also showed them in this GIMP scene from Death Wish 3.

"Captain, I'm getting a very bad feeling from this street. Captain, let's turn back now! Captain, what are you DOING!!!!"

In other news, BREAKING HER WILL has not left the TLAraw best-seller list even once. It was #1 for three months, and as of this writing it is #3. Holy crap. I never imagined it would take off like that.

Does anyone know of good, reputable bondage sites that take custom requests, and have decent prices?

I have (in my mind at least) a great GIMP video premise that I've wanted to see done for quite some time now, and am looking for good producers who take custom requests.

Thanks for any tips!

On another note I was cruising Youtube for whipping scenes and came across a fabulous one from the western Brand of Shame. I would put the link here, but sadly it was subsequently taken down due to "terms of use violation".

Brand of Shame

Here's another idea, completely freelanced by me and apologies are offered to all involved if this is off base. But you might want to contact Darkroom, who is a relatively new producer, and see if you can set something up. I'm thinking Darkroom might welcome your involvement but it's only a guess. His Yahoo group is darkroommt@yahoogroups.com.

-----

When Hank Met Ralphus: Here's a blast from the past that I tripped over while searching Google for information on producers who take requests -- it's the May 2001 archive where it appears Ralphus first learned about Hank Hobbs' Yahoo group. In some circles, this would be considered a significant moment in time.

-----

In the course of writing this post, I've already changed my mind. If I could be granted just one wish, it wouldn't have anything to do with a search engine. Yes, the search engine is important -- but it's not number one on the wishlist.

Now, I don't know if Scribbler is authorized to officially sanction a poll in Ralphus's absence so I'll set this up as an unofficial poll and accept whatever repercussions may come my way when the little guy gets back.

But here's the question: what would you say was a significant moment for you on the GIMP site?

I'm thinking of a wide range of possibilities. Maybe it was the first time you participated in a discussion with producers like Rick Masters. Maybe it was the discovery of a mainstream movie with great GIMP action. Who knows? The possibilities are endless (I hope).

I'll even set up my rogue poll with some official coloring:

What would you say was a significant moment for you on the GIMP site?

Here's my response: For me, it was in September 2005 when our old friend, ZFX Forever, mentioned his discovery of the website, SaveonAV.com (now converted to JavParadise), and that it shipped Japanese porn films out of Canada.

At the time, I was very nervous about ordering bondage movies from the U.S. (Canada Customs had confiscated some of my ZFX orders the year before) so the discovery of a site in Canada that sells Attackers movies opened up a whole new world for me.

I soon saw my first Attackers movies and quickly discovered why they are so popular. Even a casual glance at the Reviews section will confirm I have subsequently watched quite a number of them.

...what would you say was a significant moment for you on the GIMP site?

For me, it was the discovery that the site had revived the long-lost-and-given-up-for-dead Torture Rack Scenes Database. I was already a frequent visitor here by way of the WSIMD, but became a regular after this development.

It probably goes without saying that when the listings of both databases were linked to video clips on YouTied, I felt like I was in GIMPer's heaven.

----------

YikYakker: Thanks for all those links to mainstream whipping scenes. A good public flogging certainly brightens up the day.

The discussions with my favorite bondage producers have been a hoot, particularly Jeff Gord correcting my misquote of Jewell Marceau's "pineapple" insult.

That was very funny.

For those who don't know the story, it occurred two years ago when Brutus reviewed the Jeff Gord film, Room 237. In the review, Brutus questioned the Don Rickles-like insult that one of the film's victims, Jewell Marceau, levelled at her attacker (Jeff Gord). Here's the exact quote:

"Jewell, sporting her black bra, garter belt and that evil metal collar, is on the metal sheet. Gord tells her to take off her clothes, to which she replies, 'Go fuck yourself, you pineapple.' Pineapple? Pineapple!?"

The next day, Jeff Gord responded to the review and mentioned the actual quote was "Go fuck yourself with a pineapple," an expression Jewell had apparently picked up from Jeff himself.

The entire exchange can be found in the August 2007 archive if anyone wants to see it.

For my money, I wonder whether Jeff should have bothered with the correction. I continue to think "Go fuck yourself, you pineapple" is much more entertaining.

A couple for me: YouTied (boy, that was fun while it lasted!), finding Video Mayhem, getting caps, clips and reviews from movies. It's all been good!

Sure it was no surprise to learn that there were so many others who are into GIMP. But I always thought most others like me to be true misogynists. I had always thought it odd that my taste in erotic fantasy contrasted so sharply with my very profound respect for women in real life. It is really nice to know that there are so many others whose tastes seem so healthy.

Black Magic Rites sure looks good to me. I notice that it's available on DVD. Does anyone know whether the DVD is an edited version? (although if it has the stuff we saw in that metacafe link, that would still work for me).

I think this is the same one Jefferson James alerted us to some time back, but at that time there were no plans to release it. It seems that someone involved in the film doesn't want it to see the light of day.

-----

As to the informal question of the moment:

The existence of the GIMP site itself was a serendipitous event and a most happy discovery for me. I enjoy the forum conversations and the discussions of movies I have not seen and websites I have not explored. Plus, I am an information junkie, so it was nice to have a resource to which I could refer for scenes, movie descriptions, pictures, and so forth. Not any one thing so much as the site concept as a whole.

I'm surprised that no one, myself included, has reviewed this movie. If I get time, I may do so, unless someone else gets to it first. I can tell you that it is a wacky, trippy flick with lots of GIMP-worthy scenes, but it's tough to sit through if you can't get into that 1960's-70's Eurotrash mindset. The absolutely stunning Rita Calderoni, who also co-starred with Micky Hargitay in "Delirium" aka "Bloody Pit of Horror" as well as "Nude for Satan", is high on my list of favorite Eurobabes.

Not exactly professional reviews, but some interesting viewer comments on that movie's IMDb page (it's listed under its original Italian title "Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel trecento" (Rites, Black Magic and Secret Orgies in the Fourteenth Century): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122685/

I like the one that characterizes director Renato Polselli as "a man whose directorial style can best be described as completely deranged."

I have been here since almost the beginning, so there have been many.

The general confirmation that most people who hold our mild kink are erudite, creative, highly intelligent, respectful, and all the other criteria psychological researchers have long known.

Lisa Kinkaid's answers to our questions. I'm always fascinated by psychological interplay. Suspending disbelief has its allure, but often I prefer to think about the REAL actress experiencing some REAL things. I can never get enough of trying to understand the female mind.

Being chastised by Rick as a shill. I'm such a fan of his movies, considering them great art, that it was especially ironic. It is rare to create art in such an arcane genre, so Rick's accomplishments are no mean feat. It's like painting the Mona Lisa out of multi-colored semen. I think Rick's work continues to be the pinnacle of any BDSM erotica. But lo, I dared praise someone else's beauty one day and endured Rick's wrath. He was having a bad day, clearly. But I felt like I'd taken time from stroking a lion's mane for years to briefly pat a passing dog on the head and had the lion bite my arm off for daring to divert my attention elsewhere. My nom de plume was for crying out loud ZEE-FREAKING-EF-EX for most of those years. Ya get it, Rick? I LOVE your movies. You're the best artist out there by far.

Getting to know all you other sick fucks with all the permutations of your erotic desires. Not in a million years will I ever share Ralphus' enjoyment of burning fantasies, but how interesting to learn about how those thrill him, the same way the psychological questions thrill me, like seeing one more facet of an elusive diamond we all are in search of.

John Galt's reviews. No disrespect to anyone else, but John has a special knack. Great writer.

Finally, having our suggestions on the board incorporated by the producers. Hearing how much we like colorful fetish, for example, and then increasing their use of colorful fetish thereafter. To feel one made even a mild impact is nice.

My biggest regret is I am temporarily in life circumstances making it hard to see and review flix. Powershotz is something I would have explored a LOT more if my circumstances were different ... and now Steve is threatening to take them out of business. Life so often is lost opportunities.

Liquor in the front, poker in the rear

Brutus: "Survive" looks just like the kind of low-budget stuff I used to watch at the drive-in during my youth. (We didn't have grindhouses where I grew up, so the drive-ins had to suffice.) It would be nice if the abductors "play around" with these girls a little before the gore starts. But I like the way they grab the victims from behind and set them to kicking and screaming, that's always a lot of fun.

Lisa Kinkaid's answers to our questions. I'm always fascinated by psychological interplay. Suspending disbelief has its allure, but often I prefer to think about the REAL actress experiencing some REAL things. I can never get enough of trying to understand the female mind.

(Heavy sigh....) The Q and As with Lisa are at the top of my list of GIMP events I most regret having missed. I would have loved to have been there, even though I'm sure I would have got all tongue-tied and would probably have ended up asking a stupid question.

My second favorite was about 4 years ago (although it doesnt seem that long ago) when a poster who I can't remember talked about a site I'd never heard of, Caroline Branson's BOUNDDOMINATION.COM, and after I checked it out it became one of my favorite sites and she became one of my top favorite bondage models.

I had AES productions make me a custom video, and I think it's pretty awesome. It is part 2 of CV-221, with Tracy Benson, who is AWESOME in it.

The premise is that she goes for a job interview, and of course the place is a white slavery front. She is kidnapped and taken to a basement, where she is tied and gagged and forced to pose for pictures so they can sell her on the internet. I have her go from business attire with glasses to black lingerie, to a catwoman mask, to a glamorous shot in pearls and glasses, to a purple harem costume.

Tracy is an awesome model, so I wanted to give her a video that showed off her personality and versatility. I put in the job interview part because I love women in business suits and glasses, and I wanted to have her just smiling and laughing and talking about herself, so I and everyone else could enjoy her great looks and personality.

I made the "script" very story-oriented, because I think that is the most fun and interesting kind of bondage video. I was basically trying to make the best Tracy video I could imagine, everything and the kitchen sink, that covered a wide array of bondage fetishes.

No gimp/rape stuff, just lots of bondage. I tried to make it something special. I thought of all of my favorite bondage videos, which usually have one woman in a story with lots of good bondages, and tried to make one as good as those.

----------

Poll revisited: This isn't really a specific moment, but one significant thing about this forum is hearing from female posters. It's really enlightening to learn about the female point of view concerning scenes of women being tied up, raped and tortured. It's also a pleasure when the posters, like Gabriela Atar and Jane von Detlefson, offer such intelligence and humor in their messages. I encourage all female lurkers out there to delurk and join the fun. We promise to be gentle. *evil grin*

The poll - I haven't been here long, but I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by how polite and eloquent everyone is here. This is a very special place in the internet.

The Reincarnation of Isabel - I have this on DVD and would like to know if the new release has more good scenes. I liked it a lot. 1970's weird cults are great. Somehow when these type of movies are made now with the same theme, the characters all wear latex for no reason. And talk too much with funny voices. They need to watch more Kenneth Anger films. Or at the very least Joderowsky.

The Reincarnation of Isabel - I have this on DVD and would like to know if the new release has more good scenes.

Jane, I'm curious about that myself. I too have the old DVD version, and it has an elaborate Redemption Films 6-minute promo/intro involving vampires, lesbians and Nazis (Oh my!) that was listed on the disk as Chapter 1. Now, is that included in the stated 98-minute running time? If so, that would make the new version, Black Magic Rites, 8 minutes longer, assuming there is no similar filler. Does your DVD have the intro that I mentioned? It was clearly not part of the movie itself. Adding to the confusion is the Special Edition Italian version (see URL) which shows a running time of 96 minutes. Curious indeed.

"I could spend all day looking at whipping clips on youtube."

Now, there's a girl after my own heart!

YouTube has quite a lot of mainstream clips of men being whipped as well, if you're into that sort of thing.

I have a lot of catching up to do, lots of stories to hear, and to tell... so I better get crackin' Cheers TVK

Needless to say, Wonder Woman's frequent bondage themes were highlighted. Thankfully, they never really disappeared, and as your recent link to bondage comic book covers reminded me, there were several extremely titillating Wonder Woman bondage covers during the early 70's when Wonder Woman surrendered her powers and was just plain old Diana Prince. I loved those covers.

I can still remember in 1971 when Marvel Comics published three issues of Spiderman without the CCA seal because it dealt with Harry Osborne's drug abuse. Oddly enough, a few months later, DC Comics published the Shazam-award winning issue of Green Lantern-Green Arrow in which Speedy (Green Arrow's youthful sidekick) was abusing drugs, and in fact was shown shooting up on the cover. That issue was CCA-approved. What a difference a few months can make.

But anyway, I encourage everyone to check out your link and enjoy those incredible Wonder Woman covers. Like this one, and this one, and especially this one and this one. *sigh*

And thanks for the pic links...by the time these products came out, I was hangin' at the drive-ins.

For my money, the definitive illustrations of Wonder Woman getting the GIMP treatment appeared in the Mad Comics parody, Woman Wonder. Take a look at this page and particularly this one and then try to imagine what would happen to any comic illustrators that tried to pull off something like this today (although even I get a little uncomfortable looking at that last panel).

Thees Van Kemp: By Jove, I assumed you had been captured long ago by the forces of political correctness. Welcome back.

Good to be back home from Maryland to find that the forum is still rocking and rolling. My vacation got off to kind of a rocky start, though. This is only partially on-topic but it's too amusing to keep to myself. I was briefly detained by airport security when they found a 6-inch knife in my carry-on bag. And why did I have a knife? Well, it was from one of my abduction role-play sessions that I carried out with a girl I met online years ago...several years ago, in fact. But hey, I never fly, and I completely forgot about the knife and never even knew it was still in one of the zippered compartments of my bag.

Well, naturally, the security x-ray machines spotted it and I had some explaining to do. I didn't bring up the reason I used the knife the first time, of course. I just told them I didn't realize it was in there, which was the truth. When they were convinced I wasn't a terrorist, they let me go with a warning, but they confiscated the knife, so I lost one my souvenirs from my roleplay visit. But hey, I still have shredded clothing, used swatches of duct tape and a shitload of Polaroids, so I'm good :)

Looks like A Canadian started a poll question while I was gone. I'll have to think about my answer and respond in a future post. It's almost time for the All-Star Game so I'll have to cut this short. Before I forget, thanks to Scribbler for running the pictures and helping out with moderator duties in my absence. Carry on, gentlemen.

Here's a clip of Cameron Richardson hanging around in Rise: Blood Hunter.

Remember this scene from the "Man from UNCLE" pilot, "The Vulcan Affair," with Robert Vaughn and pretty Patricia Crowley chained up and slowly steamed alive like lobsters in a pot? Ms. Crowley is dressed but she looks very sexy -- especially if you like your bondage babes nice and sweaty.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG51BQDdf2U

YikYakker and Scot: Been enjoying the trip down memory lane with some of those online bondage clips. Some I had seen before, some I hadn't, but they were all great to watch. I wouldn't bet that Wicked Lady clip will be on YouTube for long since it has bare breasts, but somehow it snuck by the YouTube censors and over 17,000 people have gotten to see it so far. Pretty cool.

-------------

I had never seen that "Man From UNCLE" scene before. That one was great: steam torture, suspension, a sweaty babe being overcome by the heat...my kind of stuff. But it could have been an all-time classic except for having Robert Vaughn in the scene along with the suspended lady. Of course, the scene wouldn't have worked without him to rescue her, but I always get frustrated when the dastardly villain's plans go array and there's either a rescue or an escape.

I loved Scot's comment about how the bad guys in these spy shows always use slow, elaborate methods to kill the hero and heroine, instead of just shooting them. They even poked fun at that cliche in one of the Austin Powers movies.

-------------

And speaking of that cliche, and of the lovely Stefanie Powers, here's one of my faves from the past. Stefanie get hung upside down over a pool full of piranhas. Classic Girls In Merciless Peril.

-------------

The Reincarnation of Isabel: I've got a VHS copy of this film somewhere in my collection. It's got a great stakeburning scene in it as well as copious nudity from a number of gorgeous actresses. They sure don't make 'em like that anymore. I'm also curious to know if Black Magic Rites is an extended or a recut version of the original. Someone needs to locate it and let us know the difference. And yes, it's one that needs to be reviewed for the forum. Definite GIMP-worthy scenes in it.

-------------

What would you say was a significant moment for you on the GIMP site?

Good question, and honestly, I'm surprised not so many people have responded to it. I don't think I have one specific moment, other than having Rick Masters himself post here to respond to our questions and talk about his movies from the very first week when the site opened back in 1999. Check out his long post answering our questions back on May 25, 1999. The forum became a way to interact with folks who are "in the biz", so hearing from people like Rick and Lisa Kinkaid (among others) has been a thrill over the years.

Also, I really like that so many people take the time to write about bondage movies for the forum. In the beginning, The Gimp had put aside a special section for the ZFX reviews I had written online, and we've gotten so many others from the rest of you that we had to expand that section to include reviews from everyone else. I know of no other site in cyberspace that has so many bondage reviews that anyone can easily click on and check out at their leisure. Having all that information in one place is pretty significant, in my book.

Since the last poll has kind of kind of burned out, let's embellish it a bit and see if we can get a little more feedback.

GIMP POLL:
What is it about this site that you like the best?

-----

Poll Question: There's no question that my favorite aspect of the forum is the interaction among forum members. All of the other stuff is great, and I peruse the databases weekly for one reason or another, but the forum conversations are why I keep coming back. Of course, that includes reviews, which initially show up as comments on the forum. And celebrity and industry posters to the forum are always highly entertaining and provide a definite Cool factor.

But you know, the forum would not be so much fun without the forum members, who taken together form a unique conversational dynamic that is surprisingly intelligent and topically wide-ranging. It has an eclectic mix of voices, opinions and insights that cannot be found anywhere else. There are a lot of forums on BDSM and fetish websites, but they tend to be more focused on the commercial website involved, and often have a fan-centric feel to them that ends up as a series of one-off, unrelated questions, comments and answers. And really, where is the entertainment reading a bunch of comments about how much posters gushingly compliment or disrespectfully denigrate a specific model?

And let's face it, neither the models nor the riggers are consistently intelligent or even interesting beyond their performances. That's one of the things I kind of dislike about the conversational prologues and epilogues bookending the scenes on Kink and DungeonCorp sites. There are many, many attractive or appealing qualities to almost all of the performers, but sparkling conversation is not typically their forte. I am eternally grateful they put themselves out there for my entertainment, but to paraphrase Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry, people have got to know their limitations.

(Of course, careful editing can do wonders for interviews. But given the time constraints I would prefer the time be spent on carefully editing the scenes instead of the conversations. And let's give credit where credit is due: I also know that Ralphus edits forum posts to correct spelling, grammatical and other minor errors as well. But the content remains the unaltered voice of the forum member.)

So, to bring my ramble back on track, I recognize how unique the GIMP forum is, with its constantly changing yet unfailingly intelligent and mostly considerate cast of characters. So many times in life I have found that when people get together, they tend to emulate the lowest common denominator and devolve into despicable excuses for human beings. On this forum, that paradigm seems to work in reverse. For which I am extremely thankful.

This shows luscious Rita Calderoni (aka Rita Caldana) being menaced by the "ridiculously fake spider" that Scot mentioned. This is actually from Nude for Satan, another Mickey Hargitay vehicle.

-----

The prelude to my DVD copy of Reincarnation of Isabel states that buxom Jayne Mansfield, Hargitay's wife before her untimely death, was a Satan-worshipper. Does that mean Hargitay was, as well? It would be nice to get the facts on this.

However, I checked out the Anton LeVay: Legend and Reality entry at www. churchofsatan.org, compiled by his daughter Zeena and Nicholas Schreck in 1998 and this is what they had to say about it:

LEGEND: Jayne Mansfield, Hollywood sex symbol and actress, was a card-carrying Satanist and had an affair with ASL.

REALITY: Publicity agent Tony Kent, an associate of Ed Webber, arranged the meeting between Mansfield and ASL as a publicity stunt. ASL was smitten with the actress. Mansfield, who made no secret of her many affairs, denied knowing ASL intimately, and no associate of hers has ever confirmed any supposed romance with ASL. In a 1967 interview she said, "He had fallen in love with me and wanted to join my life with his. It was a laugh." According to ASL's publicist Edward Webber, Mansfield would ridicule her Satanic suitor by calling from her Los Angeles home and seductively teasing him while her friends listened in on the conversation. ASL's public claims that he had an affair with Mansfield began only after Mansfield's death in an automobile accident, which he also claimed was the result of a curse he had placed on her lover Sam Brody.

SOURCES: Edward Webber (interview by Aquino 6/2/91); interview with Mansfield quoted in Jayne Mansfield by May Mann, Pocket Books, 1974.

So there you have it. Although it is notoriously difficult to prove a negative, I suspect Jayne Mansfield was only out for the publicity. Mickey Hargitay, in my opinion, was too concerned about his image to have been associated with the Church of Satan.

Here's that clip of willowy Geena Davis getting the waterwheel treatment. Don't remember the name of the movie but I'm sure someone out there does.

Here's a clip anyone that has rape/electro torture interest I think would like. It's called "The Good Murders". There are 2 segments, get the one with Lexi. Smokin hot!!!! Great acting! Extremely convincing!

Two perps chloro her, strip her, she gets away for a time before they catch up to her. Once caught again they beat her and rape her (simulated) before bringing her back to the bedroom. They tie her up (kinda pedestrian but its just to have their way with her) and electro torture her. Later she gets strangled while her pussy gets eaten (actual) and raped again.

This girl is, like I said, Smokin! Maybe the best set of natural tits I've ever seen.

If you check it out see what you think.

It's at Nicheclips http://nicheclips.com/index2.php Right in the middle is a section for "Top 25 Stores" click on "The Basement" You'll see it as one of the top 5 sellers at the top (I think the one w/Lexi is the second or third one down)

Seriously...This girl alone is not to be missed!

----------

LTL: Although death fetish is not really my thing, Lexi is indeed hot. You should delurk more often :-)

---------

YikYakker: The Geena Davis water-torture scene was from "The Long Kiss Goodnight." Nice action there.

Thanks guys for the trip down memory lane. I actually liked that spreadeagle in "Cat People" (as well as Ed Begley Jr. getting his arm torn off.) Ms. Kinski was just soooo damn delicious. I also remember as a really young kid seeing the trailer for "Bloody Pit of Horror" at a drive-in theater and thinking it was the scariest thing I'd ever seen, yet I was somehow fascinated by it. Excellent cheese-fest, although I must complain about some of the loose manacles and ropework used.

Cheese fest, I do love it so. Everything in the mainstream has its disappointment factor, but there are some priceless items out there. As I've said before, I'll take what I can get. The quest for the perfect GIMP movie goes on.

Thanks for the welcome!

I know the death fetish isn't for everyone. And honestly if they were just rendered unconscious that would be cool. What I like about it is the panic factor. It just adds something extra. And every once and awhile you find a good one that has a lot of good stuff in it. Rape, bondage...though as I mentioned before, not to the standard that followers of this board might be accustomed to, a hot victim, etc. Even the villains do a really good job.

It's kinda like watching a serial killer buddy movie. The way they brutalize poor Lexi, not only physically but verbally, is entertaining to watch. For example, after Lexi gets away from the two, running through this great big house , she is re-captured in the kitchen. She's softened up with some blows, then raped. As she's being raped the guy who's holding her down says "Why are you raping my friend?", while the rapist goes "Get her off me, get her off me!"

After reading some of Ralphus' posts, the villain interaction is something I think he'd appreciate.

I also remember as a really young kid seeing the trailer for "Bloody Pit of Horror" at a drive-in theater and thinking it was the scariest thing I'd ever seen, yet I was somehow fascinated by it.

Relive those memories if you like. YouTube has the original trailer here.

The movie is cheesy, yes, but I think it's a lot of fun, and pretty sadistic for a 1965 movie. I ordered my copy from Sinister Cinema several years ago without ever seeing a trailer. I remembered reading the description where it said this guy tortured women, and I also recall the final line in the description. "Ladies, you might be offended by this one." Well, that sold it for me right there :)

I think I paid $22 for a VHS copy back then. In my Homepage URL is a link where you can get it on DVD for less than 2 bucks! Hard to pass that up. There's lots of really unique tortures, including an especially nice rack scene. It's also a great party movie. I've played it for my friends at home.

--------------

LTL: Welcome to the forum, and now that you've "come out", there's no reason to be a lurker any more. Thanks very much for letting us know about the Nicheclips movie. I gotta admit, it does sound quite good. I've never really watched many of the Nicheclips movies, just a few I bought because I wanted to see Dahlia Delis. Plus that, prices on some of them seem awfully high for the number of minutes you actually get. This one doesn't sound unreasonable, though...24 bucks for 48 minutes is decent, and it says DVD quality so it's something I can easily burn and watch on my TV.

Like you said, the death fetish isn't for everyone, but I definitely like snuff scenes since sometimes they provide the "stroke shots", to paraphrase the term Ellen Page used to describe really good porn in Hard Candy. Have you (or anyone else) seen any other of the NicheClips? There are so many of them that sound quite intriguing, and that's an entire genre of potential GIMP thrills that I've barely even explored.

Thanks to you for the welcome also.

I've seen some but really not too many of the nicheclips. Along with "The Good Murders" Lexi episode, Ive seen the 1st and 3rd part also. The first part with Kelly is pretty good (that one is at the PKF Studios store). The 3rd part I didn't care for too much (other than the villians).

Wendy's Boyfriend has three segments with bondage and penetration. Jamie Story plays Wendy who has that girl next door look to a certain degree (in"The Basement" or "PKF" can't remember).

Psycho-Thrillers has bondage every once and a while. They are usually pretty consistantly good. Kinda on par (or better) than Eyewitness Prod. as a point of reference. I have one of their clips called "Information Highway". Bondage so-so but really hot looking girl. Kinda in the supermodel category (though I prefer the earthy look).

What I like about Psycho-Thrillers is that they produce their movies to make them look like they are a mainsteam flick. Really good quality. I don't have too much of their stuff for various reasons though. Either I like the girl but she's left with too much clothes on (If I'm gonna pay for something...I wanna see everything :-). Or I like that they are nude but don't care for the girl (like I said, I like the earthy girl next door type), etc.

Actually you've probably seen some nicheclips stuff already...just in DVD form as "Powershotz" is there also. BTW Steve's got some hotties over there that I would categorize into the earthy/girl next door type. I really wish Steve would incorporate some asphyx elements with his B&D/rape.

Like I posted earlier, it just adds something extra. The panic. For example, if you're tied to a chair and you know you can't escape, then see someone coming at you, your logical reaction is to see what happens (though you're still scared). Now let's say you're in the same predicament...and someone comes at you with a knife (as example...I don't like bloodletting) you're gonna react in a totally different manner. Panic will override logic and you're gonna pull and jerk to get loose.

You're right, there are lots over there that looks promising. There's a lot on my "to get" list. If I see anything good that fits with this forum, I'll keep everyone posted.

While I remember GruesomeHorror has some clips with Amber Rayne in them (really flexible little bondage model). I've been dying to check some clips out but their prices are really high. Anyone have any feedback?

I come here for the discussion with like-minded folks and for the reviews. I also enjoy the interaction with the producers and with stars like Natasha Flade (where has she gone?) and Jane von Detlefson.

By contrast, I don't pay much attention to the daily pics. Honestly, still photos generally don't do much for me and I have almost no interest in the BDSM artwork. I mean, I might appreciate some of the art as art -- some of it is excellent -- but it doesn't do anything to help raise the Canadian flag, if you know what I mean.

I think most of the reasons why the discussions are at the top of the list have been better captured by others. I would add just one thing -- I appreciate the fact that people here understand the distinction between fantasy and reality.

I remember some of the discussons last year on YouTied (where did it go?) when Brutus and I tried to explain to that guy, Hobra, that people can enjoy hardcore fantasy scenarios without being closet rapists and torturers. I'm not sure Hobra ever really got it.

To be clear: yes, I know that rape is a horrible crime. Murder is a horrible crime, too, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a movie like Pulp Fiction. And I would never think to preface a discussion of Pulp Fiction by saying, "Of course, I should be clear that I only enjoy seeing people being shot to death in the movies...". I sort of take that as a given.

On a final note, I miss Lucyboots.

Question for Ralphus or anyone else who might know.

Honestly it's been a while since I've gotten a ZFX. Partly because of the long absence, plus at the time the DVD I wanted most wasn't on DVD yet, so I kinda looked to other interests. On the VHS box cover of "Phantacide Peepshow II" there are picture of scenes that were not in the VHS at all. Example...and I'm going off memory now as I don't have the box in front of me now, but it showed stills of Chandra tied with a yellow cord around her throat. That was never in the VHS. Anyway my question is, is there any additional footage in the DVD that would include the scene mentioned?

On the China Beach GIMP fanfic: I've just about finished Part II, which deals with McMurphy and K.C.'s initial interrogation. When they do get North (the trip will be in Part III), they'll find that they're not the only female POWs: there is a story (whether or not it's an urban legend or not, I don't know, and I have asked) that an F-4 or B-57 pilot took his girlfriend on a joyride over the southern part of North Vietnam, just above the DMZ, and they got shot down.

The story has it that the pilot never made it out of the plane, but the girl did eject over North Vietnam, and wasn't seen again. If she was captured, she wasn't released with the other POWs in 1973. I've decided to include this in the story, and all three will make it to the end in 1973. Though there will be times that they wish otherwise....

I don't see a yellow cord around Chandra Sweet's neck, unless you're thinking of the bottom of the plastic bag she has over her head. She's bagged a couple of times in that movie, but I don't think anything was tied around her neck to keep the bag on. There's also a scene where a computer comes alive and wraps a cord around her neck, but that was also in the VHS version I saw. I've never seen the DVD version. And that's one of the few ZFX titles that doesn't have a review in our ZFX Reviews section, so I don't have any further details, sorry.

As for it being a long time since you've seen a ZFX, you don't have to wait anymore. All 150+ titles are now available on DVD or for download at ZFX Productions Online. I've been updating my collection with crisp new DVD versions of some of my favorite titles.

LTL: Thanks for the link to nicheclips. Always good to have a new source of material.

Here's a clip from a movie I've seen, but the title escapes me. Beautiful brunette Annabella Sciorra is hogtied and threatened (sort of) by a guy with a razor blade. Anyone know the name of this flick?

You got me wondering if I was imagining things on Phantacide Peepshow II. So I got the box. The one I have has 2 shots (one on front and back) of Chandra w/ her hands tied behind her back, gagged with an orange (OK, so I'm color differentiatingly challenged) cord and a similar cord around her throat. He eyes are rolled back in her head so in both pictures all you see are the whites of her eyes. It looks like she's lying on her side and in one picture you can see a hand grabbing her hair.

I though maybe you were right about the electrical cord but (and I haven't watched it again yet) I don't think it's that scene.

A Canadian

Shouldn't that be Canadian eh...get it...Canadian thing like Beauty eh...oh never mind ;-)

Whispers in the Dark. Is that the one with the nude hanging in it?

I forgot about a Psycho-Thrillers one I have. It's called "Beautiful". This one has a few flaws (bad edits here and there) but has an interesting part where the girl handcuffed and is getting raped and strangled while being forced to watch herself in a mirror. I forgot about it since, even though the girl is attractive, for one reason or another she just didn't do anything for me.

Anyway, we'll have to get YikYakker to answer your question about Whispers in the Dark. I've never seen it -- I only figured out the title by doing a Google search for John Leguizamo and Annabella Sciorra.

LTL: Yes, Deborah Kara Unger, who is a patient of psychiatrist Sciorra and is into kinky sex, is found in her apartment hanging by a rope in an apparent suicide. But could it have been murder? Dunh-dunh-dunh dunnnnnnh!

Thanks, guys!

Now, here's a clip that asks the question: What would your reaction be if you came to work one morning and found a naked babe tied to an office chair?

Now, here's a clip that asks the question: What would your reaction be if you came to work one morning and found a naked babe tied to an office chair?

I don't think there would be a big reaction from me -- I'm not much of a morning person (ask Cameron Crowe).

BTW, the clip that YikYakker linked was edited to remove part of Leguizamo's dialogue. He says, "Nature played a real shit trick on me. I've got these instincts inside of me that are different from the others on this planet. When I see a pretty woman, I don't want to fuck. I want to hear the sounds she's makes when she's in pain." Hmmm...sound like any of us?

Besides the hogtie scene, there's Deborah Kara Unger's description of edge play with her lover involving her being naked with her neck in a noose that's pretty hot to watch. And of course, the last time we see her, she's found hanging naked (see the pic in my Homepage URL). There's also, if I recall correctly, some pretty gruesome photos shown of women with cigarette burns on their breasts.

-----------

Tied Up In An Office: Funny clip. I'm not sure what I would do. If I went with my first instincts, I would probably be arrested. If you see a naked woman who's already tied up right there for you, that falls into he "Too Good To Be True" category so you better watch it because a camera is probably rolling. Best to find your own woman, tie her up and do your thing to her in private. Cameras are optional then.

I have quite a few of Peachy Keen's films and they are all well-directed, well-lit and very hot! (There's one where I can't get past the sex to watch the strangulations!). LTL, I think you'd like that movie.

Both the second and third parts of "Good Murders" have electric shock on a nude woman, and both are well done!

I've put a link to some preview pics for "Good Murders", as well as "Hogtie Killer" (nice Taser action) and "Whipped and Beaten") in my URL. Please be advised that John is, first and foremost, a snuff producer and take it into account when viewing previews or movies.

------------------------------

Ralphus: Have you (or anyone else) seen any other of the NicheClips?

I've seen quite a few. John (PeachyKeen and "The Basement") and his protege Chris ("Chris's Corner") are my favorite stores by far. PsychoThillers do good but not great snuff ("Next" is their best I think). I haven't tried Grunt of Casualties of Horror. From there, the quality goes down FAST. A good clue is: if there's not a preview with a fair number of vidcaps, it probably isn't worth the money.

I added a preview of PsychoThriller's "Beauty", "Next" and an ebony bondage strangle called "Casting Call 4" to the ImageFap gallery in my URL.

====================================

Canadian: I guess "out and about" is a Canadian expression but I never knew that.

No, but "oot and aboot" is!

A Canadian: That's wierd, the same thing came up not long ago when someone said "oot and aboot" and someone else said "You're from Virginia, aren't you?" The fact is, there is an accent from Coastal Virginia that says it that way. Just a little useless information.

Thanks for the info and pic of Whispers in the Dark. It's funny though that I didn't remember that scene being that clear. For some reason when I remember that shot, I always picture it as not that well lit and distant.

But you didn't mention which movie. You big tease you :-)

BTW, have you seen any "Bella Morte"? They've got some with B&D. From what I understand, Wednesday got her tutorage from John.

jhlipton also wrote:

I've seen all three parts and I didn't much like the segment w/ Raven Alexis at all (segment three) that's why I didn't mention it. To each their own of course but for me Raven's acting lost me. During the shocking scene she kinda just rolls from side to side. The thing about electricity is that you tense up and can't move. That's why electrocutions happen because the poor soul is unable to pull away from the electrical source.

Then later during the strangling, she's there with her hands cuffed in front of her and her legs spread wide. Why are they spread wide during the entire scene? I have no idea...since they're not tied apart. I guess just to let everyone get a good look at her wears. Then, the entire time she's being strangled she only reaches up to the rope a couple of times. And I'm not talking, reach and tug at the rope for a while, and reach and tug a while again. I'm talking reach up and brush at it with her finger for about a second.

I hope I'm not ruffling any feathers. Like I said, everybody likes different things, but the above mentioned is why it the third part didn't strike my fancy. Just my opinion.

To be honest, I had never heard of this whole "aboot" business until I saw Terrance and Phillip saying "aboot" on South Park. I don't hear it myself but apparently there are American producers who have raised issues about hiring Canadian actors because of their accents. Hard to believe, eh?

Hey, I have a question that I wish to ask of Rick Masters. There is a very old GIMP video of his that I used to have. The only edition I ever found of it was VHS and the tape wore out a long time ago. I believe that it was shot and released before ZFX Productions existed as a company, as it was originally released by Bizarre Video. I don't quite remember all the details, but I do remember it's title and the names of some of the characters in it.

Going by memory, Rick I believe you stared in the video yourself, playing the role of a white slaver named Ricko. There was also one other male actor in the video who played Ricko's henchman. I believe there were three female victims in the video. A black haired girl by the name of Beth who was a runaway that fell into Ricko's clutches. The second I believe was a curly haired blond named Valerie who Ricko had kidnapped by his henchman. The third female victim, I think was a special agent who was sent in to rescue Valerie only to fall into Ricko's clutches herself. The video itself was titled either Submission of Valerie or The Submission of Valerie.

I really would like to see that video re-released on DVD. I don't know if it would be possible though. I think that because it was originally released by Bizarre Video, they probably hold the rights to it. I don't know if they would willing to release the rights to the video. Would you be willing to attempt to get permission from Bizarre Video to re-release Submission of Valerie on DVD?

I know the older stuff Rick made for Bon Vue was put on DVD years ago (I have at least one in my collection) but I don't even know if Bizarre Video is still around; I don't think they are. Too bad, because I liked some of the movies they used to put out.

Ralphus: I think that Bizarre Videos is still around. They may no longer selling in brick & mortar retailers and are selling online only, but they seem to be still around. I have the URL to their site in my favorites and I just checked it. Their website at least is still up.

Since they're still around, Bizarre Video is the one you should be asking about DVD availability. I would think having access to a couple of early Rick Masters videos would be something they should be promoting with upgraded DVD releases. I would think so, anyway.

We have internicine squabbles, don't always agree, sometimes approach the same flix from angles about as far apart as one can get ... and yet usually have civil discourse about these things.

One thing I have been saddened by is how many of the posters here feel ashamed of what are natural, normal desires. Buck up, men! You're okay. Sex is normal and you have nothing to be ashamed of.

But one thing I am really glad about is the transformative power of the Internet. Just like we ride a wide range of interests, we probably also encompass a wide range of socially interactive ability, from the nerd in his parent's basement who has never been with a girl, to those of us who have lived these BDSM fantasies quite comfortably in real life.

And here, we can all come together and communicate. What a wonderful thing. There would be so much less strife in the world if people could just take the time and talk to each other. Humans are rainbows - we come in every hue imaginable. Hue-mans. Much of the pleasure of life is appreciating all that variety.

PS, one of my favorite things wasn't listed on your list, Ralphus - it is the ability to converse here without the need for logging in. It's probably a pain in the neck sometimes for the moderator, but for the user of this site, it's a really painless site to use. That is one of its most compelling features.

Men (and women) it has been an honor to interact with all of you over the years. May we all continue to delight in BDSM and GIMP-nitude unashamedly and with great relish and intelligent pleasure.

Girls of all 18+ ages - submit! Give in to your inner true nature. Pleasures await you by doing so that you can scarcely imagine if you have been resisting. Just say yes. Let that clamp do its clicking around your wrist. Accept what it means to be feminine. Give without limits.

Liquor in the front, poker in the rear

Ralphus:

I took your advice and E-mailed Bizarre Video to ask if they would be willing to re-release Submission of Valerie on DVD. The E-mail went out about ten minutes ago. I'll let you and everyone else know what they decided when I get a reply (if I get a reply).

Personally however, I wouldn't the least bit surprised if they decline. This movie is really old, it dates back to 1988 and they may feel that it just wouldn't sell.

Oops! That would be "Crazy Family". Lexxi and Mikki fuck a pair of brothers; Mikki forth-right, Lexxi more shyly. It's fun to watch them with their different styles, especially if you know what's going to happen to them!

-----------------------------------------

BTW, have you seen any "Bella Morte"? They've got some with B&D. From what I understand, Wednesday got her tutorage from John.

I haven't, and I'm not too impressed with their preview pics. The girls aren't that hot and there's no really tight garroting. Since I can't even afford to get all the films I want from John, I'm going to have to give Wednesday a miss.

=============================

I have a ZFX question: I just saw two HOT strangulation clips which I'm told are from ZFX. In one, a nude girl is tied up in the bathroom when another (her room-mate?) comes in to investigate. The second girl is strangled with a cord as the killer bares her breasts and fondles them and her pussy while he kills her. The clip ends with the dead girl sprawled over the live one.

In the second, one woman has another tied with her leg behind her head. She has on nipple clamps which run behind her head. There's also a cord running from her thigh around her neck, so as she tries to straighten her leg, she tightens the cord. During the first half, she's also forced to suck a rubber dildo the other girl has strapped on. Nice strangulation and bondage.

Can anyone (Ralphus?) ID these clips?

In fact, I'm only half-kidding when I say that something like that would probably draw a lot of web hits, and could make some real cash for someone with the entrepreneurial skills to take the idea and run with it.

And I'll bet if this site hosted it, it would win first place in the next Best Bondage Web Site Award, hands down!:-)

jhlipton~Thanks for remembering to include the title this time. I've seen the stills to "Crazy Family". It does look good.

I've seen quite a lot of ZFX but haven't seen the ones with the scenes you mentioned. I'm interested in finding out which ones they are from too.

ZFX does have a few videos I know of that has scenes hat might interest you. "Phantacide Peepshow", that I mentioned earlier, has 2 good baggings. One of the South of the Border movies has an upside-down dunking (anyone who can help on which installment, since I can't remember). There's also a strangling in one. I think it's "War Pigs II" that has a bagging of Lisa Kinkaid. "Trojan Horse" has a bagging also.

I was wondering if you, or anyone else, had seen "Hogtie Killer"? Preview on URL. It looks pretty cool. Forced oral, Forced deep-throat, facial....I always Love facials.

So the lesson for today boys and girls....if you're gonna shoot your load....shoot it in her mouth and face.

Have you seen "The House at the End of the Park"? There's a scene you'd probably like, and another possible. In the possible, a girl has her blouse ripped open, but it's just a preliminary before she's strangled. In the one that's more likely to interest you, the villain takes a straight razor to the blouse of a a really cute girl. It's totally shredded (and he's run the flat of the blade over her nipples) by time he's done. He has her strip the rest of the way, then runs the razor down her chest a few times. Very Hot scene.

============================

LTL: I was wonderig if you, or anyone else, had seen "Hogtie Killer"?

I like to see tits while the girl is being strangled, so I doubt I'll get this (although1 looks better than 2 or 3). I think Penance 2 is my next purchase, along with Bondage Strangling (from PK, not the Basement, alas).

BTW, "Student Blackmail 2" is another one with great sex, and a fantastic killing. Alana is HOT, the fucking is great, and he puts his fingers deep in her pussy while strangling her. Highly recommended.

Got time for one of those rare summer posts.

As for the poll question it is without a doubt the interaction with like-minded perverts. All else is good as well but there resides the highlight.

Since LTL and jhlipton are on a subject near and dear, hogties, I have had an opportunity to see a couple of nice ones over the summer courtesy of my older children who enjoy mainstream or indie thrillers. One is a Korean effort, "The Chaser" - the scene is nice and extended but be forewarned the ending is gruesome in the extreme. The other is what appears to be a direct to video dog, "Twisted Sisters". No nudity but a nice scene in an otherwise forgettable flick. Neither contains any asphyxia but still pretty fair.

A Canadian - with that kind of Great White North lingo going on I must pull out my copy of "Strange Brew" and get some guffaws.

Stay Well All

First I would like to thanks Ralphus for running the caps for Goon Squad. I'm hoping to have Goon Squad 2 : Patriot Acts out in September sometime.

LTL: Phanticide Peepshow 2 has some strangling and bagging with Chandra Sweet, but I'm wondering if you might be confusing the covershot with Amy Van Allen which shows a piece of her orange dress tied around her neck, eyes rolled.

At any rate, I may have taken some creative license with the Amy shot on there, looking at the original VHS cover it looks like a photoshop job. My apologies if you were misled. The scene is in the movie but she is not choked very much, she is bound and gagged with her own vomit covered dress and gangbanged in a bathroom by Jon Obrien, Bryan Dunhill and myself.

The scenario is that work a day designer Amy basically vomits and passes out in a bathroom after an office Xmas party and is set upon by 3 horny maintenance guys. The scene is shot almost entirely from one angle and its not a great scene, other than having Amy in it. It has a sort of voyeuristic quality to it and it is intercut as Amy describes her bad experiences in the office to Chandra. They overhear Penelope Pace making sexual sounds in the next office and begin debating about whether they should check on her. Chandra dismisses it, relating that Penny is a big titted slut and is probably just banging a fellow worker. Amy is concerned because of what happened to her which she shares with Chandra.

The covers for Phanticide Peepshow 1 and 2 were extensively reworked but every scene that was in the VHS originals is in the DVD. I vaguely recall looking at the VHS box art and thinking this is misleading and/or it sucked and needed to be reworked. Most of the DVD covers use essentially the same cover shots (photos) as the VHS so it will be readily recognizable as the same movie and when I deviate from that it is usually for a reason. Phanticide Peepshow 2 has some good asphyxia stuff with Chandra but not so much with Amy.

The sound and picture quality were reworked extensively and are far better. The original VHS movies really had some abysmal quality. Some of the computer graphics in the movie were also reworked to be better than the original. I never cut actual content and in fact try to add anything I can if it is good footage. There may be rare exceptions for technical reasons, but my rule of thumb is to try to put as much in as I can.

Jhlipton: The first clip you describe is As Darkness Falls with Brigette Bayonne and Lisa Kinkaid, but they are not killed, only knocked out.

The second has me stumped. I'm thinking it might be Supermax. If you have a capture from it I'm sure I could identify it. I have done that type of position in quite a few movies including Phanticide Peepshow 1, Viral Load and Vacum with Tabitha Jordan. Penelope and Tabitha did a lot of those types of scenes for me because they were so incredibly flexible.

I am a big fan of asphyxia scenes but never do it unto death, just unconsciousness. Otherwise that's the end of the movie unless it's a necro movie. I have not really gone there that I can recall.

Mostly, I prefer bare-handed ripping. Seems more primal.

Another "ripping" scene is linked above. It's the first GIMP scene from The Halfway House , a flick we've discussed recently. This girl is neither the most attractive nor the most convincing of the GIMPed actresses in the movie, but I do like the intent. Unfortunately the sound in this clip is out of sync with the action. In such cases, I prefer to mute the volume and use my own imagination. :-) ----------

A young (22-year-old) Kim Cattrall had the front of her dressed ripped open in a 1978 TV mini-series about the American Revolution called The Bastard . It was an attempted rape scene, and there was no nudity, just a good shot of cleavage. But it was a shocking scene for TV at that time, and quite a boost for Kim's career.

The earliest clothes-ripping scene I can recall was from a preview for the Carpetbaggers (1964), in which George Peppard clawed at the hot blond Carroll Baker. This was a very shocking scene for its day and is featured prominently in publicity posters, as seen on the IMDB website. Again, no nudity but still had an impact. In fact, the Catholic Church forbid its members from going to see it, not just because of the dress-ripping, but also because none of the characters had any redeeming moral qualities

I'm glad to hear that, it actually stirs my interest in checking out your product.

Nice to see you post, and thanks for the info!

That clarifies things. It's funny 'cause Amy was one of my favorites, and I didn't even recognize her, thinking it was Chandra (another favorite). Rick also wrote:

That's too cool! The pic I saw of "P.P.II" was what brought me in in the first place. Everything seemed so lame at the time I pretty much had given up on B&D. Then I saw the pic. Naw it can't be. I got the video and was blown away!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, to a fatal end isn't necessarily an requirement, but I'll admit it helps.

The stuff you've done (that I've seen) is about 80% to get the girl out and under control. But Asphyxia would make an excellent torture device also, like Lisa getting dunked in the one episode of "S.O.B." I can imagine an upside-down spread eagle w/bagging as a torture (makes me wet thinking about it :-).

And like I also wrote before, it adds just so much more from an panic reaction standpoint. From the many rape victims interviewed one of the main things they talk about was thinking they were going to be killed. It's one thing to get raped, it's another to think you'll also die. To use asphyxia as a torture devivce enhances this fear.

Your comment makes me hopeful that there will be future vids with it included.

Rick: It's great to hear things are still on track for the September release of Goon Squad 2: Patriot Acts. When I saw the trailer, I was pleasantly surprised to discover how much Lisa footage was still in the vault. I have a very good feeling about Goon Squad 2.

These are pretty grainy pics, but there's an ImageFap album in my URL. (A girl with her mouth wide open [ready for my cock?] gets me so hard...)

====================================

JR: I love breath play as well. It can be particularly stimulating to have a new girl come in, who has never tried the activity before but is open to it, then place a bag or a latex breath hood over her head and sit back and watch.

It's amazing to me that John can get these really cute girls who like (or at least don't mind) having a cord wrapped around their necks while they're topless or nude. (The girls themselves prefer gory knife-fights -- he let a couple loose with his knives and some "blood" and they had some fun!)

===================================

For me, I think the idea that the **very last thing** the girl experienced was pain, humiliation, torture and rape gets to me that it wouldn't if she were to live. In my fantasies, the girl is too damaged to go back to anything like a normal life, so I might as well give her a release, even if she doesn't appreciate it at the time.

===============================

Scot: That's NO way to treat a beautiful woman, you bastard! But it's fun to watch.

You're right! You've got to punch her a few times, too! No getting off easy around here!

Looks like ZFX one-timer Marilyn Malone in The Worm.

You're right! You've got to punch her a few times, too! No getting off easy around here!

I like the way you think :)

Well, in the aforementioned scene, George does knock Inger to the ground with a hard slap to the face a couple of times, and he presses his riding spur against her bare back, leaving a small cut. I would like to have seen him give her a few lashes with his belt, but you can't have everything.

Thanks eh, for providing the episodes for the bagging and the strangling from the "South of the Border" movies. I can never remember which one's they are in.

Yik Yakker

Sorry for the name butchering the last post (Yip Yapper)......But that's what happens when you have a neighbor who's dog has just barked 5 hours non-stop ;-)

On the subject of clothes tearing I like clothes cutting too. It creates a menacing ambiance.

But a really good tearing scene I like is from "The Outlaw Josey Whales". Sandra Locke gets her clothes ripped exposing her breast, then her ass. She's about to get gang raped by about 10 dirty trail hands when she's saved by the villain boss. Damn it Jim!

She looked hot too! That soft white skin....creamy.

I just saw "The Crow 3" for the first time this weekend. There's a scene of Kirsten Dunst with her hands tied above her and her lips sewn together. You know the villain is serious when you get your mouth sewn shut.

I've been toying with the idea of making a sewn lip prop for a while. Something easy to put on and take off. I was thinking maybe get a football mouth piece (smaller then the Boxer's mouth piece). Drill a hole right in the middle, then get some fairly thick cord and dip it in epoxy to keep it's form when dried. Shape individual pieces so they curve inwards (when the mouth piece is in), and put it all together. A little blood make-up.

Now what I'd do with it is another story. Maybe see if it looks good then offer it to anyone interested. Or maybe keep it and save it for a custom project. Who knows. I guess I just want to see if I can do it.

So how many movies have victims with sewn lips? I can think of only one other....

That's another reason I like the Lexi part of "The Good Murders" she's got some nice bruise marks on her body. Just enough and not too much as to ugly her. Just right!

But I agree about Sandra Locke in The Outlaw Josey Wales; even though she's rescued, it's fun to see all those hands grabbing and ripping her dress like that.

Scot: Thanks for the tip about Inger Stevens. I think finding that movie is going to take a little extra effort. Inger Stevens was a beautiful but tragic actress that I never got tired of looking at.

-------

BTW, if anyone's curious about what happened to the girl who got her clothing ripped off in my previous post, check out the link above.

I have downloaded many of their clips, One of the best gimp type rape scene but little bondage is from psycho thriller called "Your Own Kind" staring Nicole. It is realistic rape, a pretty 35 to 40 aged women who fights like hell and has a great natural body. No tats, no fake boobs, nice legs , middle age creeping up on her body, but very real.

I recommend it.

Of course, one of the all-time best mainstream clothes-cutting and rape scenes is the one in "A Clockwork Orange," where Adrienne Corri's hands are tied behind her back and Alex (Malcolm McDowell) takes a scissors to her red one-piece outfit, exposing her lovely sleek body in all its full-frontal glory before he and his "droogs" give her a bit of the old in-out, in out. She's definitely a natural redhead -- and she seems to have a disdain for underwear.

You're probably thinking of the same movie I am. Strangeland with Linda Cardellini (see my Homepage URL). I'm not a fan of such a severe gag, though. When it starts to get into disfigurement, it ceases to be enjoyable. Stuff her mouth with her own panties and follow that up with several strips of duct tape and I'm a happy camper.

BTW, just curious. You mentioned a particular scene making you "wet thinking about it". Does that mean you might actually be...a female? You don't have to answer, especially because doing so could risk your well-being. Coming out as a woman on a board full of perverts is dangerous. After all, we still haven't heard back from Gabriela Atar. I think John Galt is holding her naked and captive somewhere in his basement, but that can't be substantiated.

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of. Strangeland. Pretty good movie as I wasn't expecting too much since it was made by Dee Snider (of Twisted Sister fame).

And no....not a female. Just at a loss for the right expression at the time I guess.

The Internet is a strange and wonderful place.

-----------------------

I'm not thrilled with the mouth-sewn-shut idea, either...while it's an effective gag, it just seems more labor-intensive than other methods.

-----------------------

I did see the movie Pelts, which ranks second on the list that John Galt linked. In one scene, a woman becomes possessed by a rare fur that she is handling and sews her own mouth shut. Interesting movie, but I don't recall any GIMP-worthy scenes.

-----------------------

Of course, sewing a girl's mouth shut is of no help in an interrogation scenario. In this clip, Jennifer Garner gets a very different kind of "oral" treatment. I never saw her show "Alias" but I'm guessing it was chock-full of GIMP scenes.

-----------------------

I've just made a horrible discovery...my Reincarnation of Isabel DVD has some sort of defect and won't play past Chapter 4. Guess that GIMP review is going to have to wait until I can replace it or pick up Black Magic Rites instead.

Very cool clip! It was not what I was expecting when I read gas mask. Very cool...very cool indeed!

Anyone know who the other girl is in the clip? She's pretty hot! I'd like to do a search to see what else she's been in.

The poisoning of the guy though. I haven't seen something like that since "Get Smart". The old poisoned fake lips trick.

Ralphus - I laughed out loud at your experience at the airport. I've only been caught with nail clippers.

We started shooting The Agent. So far, so good. Just not for my character. Thus far we've shot the scenes where I'm strangled from behind and dragged into a dark room, smacked/punched in the face, electrocuted and raped, and then strangled again with a rope. I needed a few days off after all that. And some over-the-counter painkillers. A few bruises are unavoidable.

My other piece of news is that we finally launched the site where you can buy RFPIX movies as Rental and Download-to-own! Yeah! Right now we have AristoCrux, Red Room, and Red Feline on the Cross. We'll be adding more titles soon.

Thus far we've shot the scenes where I'm strangled from behind and dragged into a dark room, smacked/punched in the face, electrocuted and raped, and then strangled again with a rope.

Jane, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the part where you get smacked/punched in the face. If it's done right, that type of scene can be really effective.

And, of course, the rape sounds good, too.

That's why I like this board....Stuff I've never heard of.

Jane your videos look awesome. Just three (working on the 4th one) as of now?

It especially peeked my interests about the strangling. Are they nude stranglings by chance? Keep us posted when ready.

LTL: The other girl in the Alias clip is the gorgeous Mia Maestro. She played Jennifer Garner's half-sister on the show. She also had a great scene of her own in one of the episodes where she's tied to a chair and gets tortured with a hot branding iron by one of the villains. Although not nearly to the extent that Liz Tyler is getting in today's daily picture.

There is a hypothetical scenario I would like to run by everyone. Suppose you are a Master or Mistress who owns several slavegirls. Word comes to you from one of your friends that a slavegirl of yours has committed a grievous infraction and her conduct reflects on your management of your stable of girls.

Obviously, you can't let this infraction go, you have a reputation to hold up. You call the accused girl before you and confront her. The girl who I will refer to simply as Girl A pleads her innocence. However, you will have none of it and order her to strip and submit to a thorough and harsh punishment. Throughout the punishment Girl A continues to plead her innocence and beg for mercy, mercy which you are in no mood to show. After giving her a thorough reaming out, you order Girl A to return to work, allowing her no time to recover.

However, something begins to bother you. Why would the girl keep pleading innocence? You can't help but feel like something is amiss about the situation. So, you decide to investigate this supposed infraction in more detail yourself. During your investigation, you discover that Girl A was indeed innocent! She indeed had not committed the infraction which she was punished for and was set up by one of her sister-slaves who I will refer to as Girl B You learn that Girl B and your so-called friend had concocted a scheme to frame Girl A.

It does not matter to you why they set her up, but you still feel bad about punishing an innocent girl. Feeling remorseful, you decide that the prudent thing to do is forgive Girl A and punish Girl B for her part in the frame up job. How would you handle this situation. Would you...

A) Apologize to Girl A then proceed to punish Girl B yourself allowing Girl A to watch her accuser go through the same ordeal she had to go through herself.

Or...

B) Apologize to Girl A and allow her to punish Girl B herself. You know the old saying "Hell have no fury like a woman scorned!" and you know Girl A would relish some payback.

So what would you do and would this incident effect your relationship with your friend? I would appreciate it if everyone including Gabriella and Jane would give me their take on this scenario. I'll give you all my take later, but I suspect some of you may be able to guess what I would do.

Currently, I'm planning to abduct Mia Maestro...Mama Mia!

---------------------

Jane: I'm awaiting the arrival of my first RFPIX product in the mail. But I'm glad that you folks are introducing the VoD option as well. Since I've been hard hit by the recession, rentals are a better fit for my stricter budget, and there's no waiting besides.

The Agent sounds like fun...do you know if that will be available on-line as well?

---------------------

Speaking of agents, it seems that Erin, cute but annoying star of those eSurance commercials done with retro animation style and James Bond-type action, has finally gotten what she deserves (see URL).

LTL - We have more videos in our store (follow the link above). We'll be adding more titles to the VOD store as they are formatted. FIY: In the first strangulation in The Agent I am clothed, as I'm being captured at the time. The second strangulation happens after I've been raped and electrocuted on a table so I'm only wearing the remains of my dress around my waist, top and bottom exposed. My hands are still handcuffed behind my back, underneath me, at the time. This will be far easier to explain when I have some vidcaps.

Ralphus - You always know the right thing to say. Vidcaps are forthcoming.

Ed - Since this is a hypothetical situation I would assume that they're all in a huge conspiracy against you and punish them all. Even your friend, who obviously has no business talking to your slavegirls. Forgiveness? Ha! I'm pretty certain that when one signs up to be a slavegirl they're expecting to be punished. Sometimes for no reason whatsoever. Might I suggest pranks to punish the friend? My favorite is submerging their hand in a dish of warm water when they're asleep. Ahh, I am so cruel.

Yik Yakker - Thanks for the feedback. The Agent will be available online. Everyone is feeling the economic crunch. That's one of the big reasons we're incorporating VOD into our offerings. That, and it's the future of movie consumption.

Although I have to confess that, after all these years, I still have a crush on Judy Jetson.

Regarding the mouth-sewn-shut, it's not a huge turn on for me either, but I recently stumbled onto the art of someone named Gronc, which features similarly "intense" themes..

I posted a few examples of his art in my yahoo group.. I'll be adding more shortly..

Thanks for the reply!

I actually did find your real site on my own though. I saw the stills from your link and did a Google....since I had to find out more.

I definitely will pickup "The Agent" when released, but would really like to check out one of your videos now. Anyone have any recommendations for a Red Feline virgin?

My interests are, as I guess you gathered asphyxia (strangling, bagging), inversions (upside-down spread eagles, one-legged hang, 2 legged inversion) Outdoor stuff (I know there is one out but is it the best for first time viewer?) and bare feet.

Also I noticed that a lot of your videos were listed as sold out. I hope you are going to replenish them. If the videos are as good as they look (and you look!) I would like to pick all of them up eventually.

I need a picture of a certain chair tie. I do search after search but keep coming up empty. Do you know what a good site would be? The certain tie I'm looking for is where the ankles are pulled back and tied to the back legs of the chair so the girls heels are touching (or close)the seat of the chair. Know of any?

Oh, and Jane. I almost forgot. When I checkd out your site the song "The Ballad of Jane" popped in my head. Do you know the song? By L.A. Guns. The lyrics go "What a shame...what happened to Jane" Cool song ;-)

Jane, your comments give me the impression that you think I based the scenario on a real life experience of mine. I'd hate to burst your bubble, but this entire scenario is straight out of my imagination. In real life I am the type who prefers to watch, but not participate.

That's exactly the tie I was looking for! And he comes through all the way with a bagging at that!

Awesome Ralphus!

That type of chair tie is a favorite of mine because it also gives you easy access to the girl's pussy. It's also a bit more uncomfortable for the victim because she can't support herself, especially with her hands tied behind her. If you can also bind her elbows together, that makes it even more painful. Rick Masters did a similar chair tie to Lisa Kinkaid in The Apartment. I would have used that scene but I didn't have a great picture that showed off how high her legs were tied. Still, that would be a good movie to check out just for that scene. My original review is linked above.

No need to congratulate me; I am already being amply rewarded.

I've got more pics, but at the moment, they're...uh...in use.

--------------------

Ed: I think Jane recognizes that you were just indulging a fantasy...she was just rolling with it in her own inimitable way. Right, Jane?

One should **NEVER** feel bad about punishing a girl, innocent or not (in fact, the more innocent, the better!). I would tell Girl A "oops, my bad", spank her ass nad send her back to the seraglio. I would also give Girl B to my "friend". They deserve each other and would be punishment enough -- they can spend their time wondering when the other is going to betray them!

Are you choked (ie, JJ puts his hands on your throat) or garroted (he wraps something around your throat). Choking is hella easier on the actress, but harder to make look "real", so I'm hoping he used something thin. Either way, play safe -- asphyxia is an easy way to get hurt bad.

Here are some ties for you (3 of a "chair tie" and three of something more creative). [No asphyx in these pics, but they are on ImageFap.]

Ed - My sense of humor is odd.

Yik Yakker - Very perceptive of you.

jhlipton - The first strangulation in The Agent is done with a choke-hold. JJ wraps his arm around my neck and squeezes. The second is done with rope.

I'm still waiting for someone to enlighten us with a comparison of Black Magic Rights versus The Reincarnation of Isabel. Please! Someone!

One of the things I like about Mia is that even after she's experienced YikYakker's Torture Tour '09, she still looks hot. Here's a recent pic: http://dev.actressarchives.com/imgdir/mia_maestro.jpg

--------------------

Nothing against blondes and redheads, but I do have a thing for dark-haired babes. And they don't have to be Latinas, either. My ultimate conquest would be Catherine Zeta-Jones; but she's always sticking close to that @#$%^& Michael Douglas. What's the big deal with him anyway? So what if he has money, fame, good looks and political clout? Oh, wait.....

--------------------

Summer Glau is another dark-haired cutie I'd like to capture. But I understand she could be tough to subdue, based on what I've heard about her TV show, as well as this pic: http://galleries.hollycelebs.com/fhg/pictures/1024ccb/Summer_Glau/1/54770_summer_glau10_122_847lo.jpg

Suggestions, anyone?

BTW, she also trained as a dancer. Just imagine all the positions you could put her in.

Jane: You'll find the lyrics to "The Ballad of Jane" in my URL. Sad but beautiful.

I'm one of those old-fashioned guys who still prefers DVDs over videos on my computer. But maybe that's just because I haven't bothered putting the gadgetry in place to hook my computer up to my TV.

In any event, I would certainly like to learn more about the future expectations for movie consumption from anyone whose crystal ball is a bit clearer than mine.

A Canadian Wrote:

VOD: Yesterday, Jane von Detlefson wrote that VOD is "the future of movie consumption." I would be curious to hear from Jane or others about why that is believed to be the case.

The way I look at VOD or as I like to refer to it "Downloadable Content" vs. traditional factory made DVDs is that Downloads have several advantages over physical DVDs. The biggest major advantage is the delay between buying the product and actually receiving it. With physical DVDs, you have to wait a few days to a perhaps a week or two for your order to arrive by mail.

With downloads, it only takes a few hours to receive your purchase via download if you are on any Internet connection that is faster than dial-up. Besides, today who isn't on a DSL or Cable connection anyway?

The second advantage is that you are not limited to watching the material on your computer. You can burn the videos to your own DVDs, that's right A Canadian, you don't have to hook up your computer to your TV. If your computer has a DVD burner and you have the right software you can edit and burn the videos to DVD-R or DVD+R media. Note though that DVD-R and DVD+R aren't the same type of disk. They are two different formats. Most DVD burners can read and write on both types, but not all set top DVD players can read both. Newer DVD players can read both types, but some older DVD players may not be able to read DVD+Rs which are the newer of the two formats. If you want to try burning DVDs, check the documentation that came with your DVD player to see what it can and can't play. That way you won't end up burning a disk that your DVD player can't read.

I'll provide a link to the website of the developer of my favorite DVD authoring software if you are interested. If you want to check it out, just ask. As for DVD burners, you have literally dozens of choices. I can't recommend any retailers because I am not familiar with Canada's retailers, being in the United States and all. You'll have to research that on your own.

I do have a burner and have traditionally used TMPGEnc as my DVD author system but I don't know that I'm sold on it. I would be interested in learning about whatever authoring software you use and would appreciate seeing the link.

I'm still curious, though, about VOD being the way of the future. Is this because it is (or will be) the fastest way to get movies?

You may currently be behind the VOD technological power curve, but you could get up to speed very quickly if you put your mind to it. It is not a big deal.

As Ed mentioned, there is an immediacy to VOD that DVD-provided content lacks. Although he specifically mentioned the lag time between ordering and receiving, that really only applies to porn, since you can buy mainstream DVDs (and some porn) off the shelf and watch them a hour later.

The advantage of VOD is immediate access and flexibility when it comes to viewing options. You can watch it on your PC. You can view it through a TV with the right media hook-ups. Or you can burn it to DVD or even VCD. Most DVD players can play VCDs, which are CDs (not DVDs), and require less time to create. I do all of my DVD and VCD creation on an Ubuntu Linux workstation using open source (free) software. If it is available for Linux, it is even more available for Windows. Apple I'm not sure about, but I would be surprised if it wasn't.

Additionally, the producer/creator/supplier saves disc creation and packaging costs when content is available via VOD, so it is more cost-effective for the seller.

I am a book aficionado, and I do not like reading books digitally. I just like the experience of holding a book. I like having bookshelves full of books. Reading a digital book on a Kindle doesn't work for me. So I can understand the desire to buy a physical DVD and touch it. But I can burn myself a DVD or VCD very easily and cost-effectively, while I cannot inexpensively print out and bind a digital book.

About the only advantage I see to buying a DVD is to get additional content, like commentary tracks or interviews or Making Of features. Those kinds of extras are the only thing that makes buying a DVD worthwhile as opposed to simply downloading the movie.

Of course, Steve Power says that the image quality on his Powershotz DVD products is vastly superior to the quality of the same content downloaded. That is probably a function of maintaining a smaller file size for downloads, though, and may be an issue that future video technology renders moot.

I thought that the contest between HD and Blu-Ray was inconsequential because I didn't think a new DVD format was the trend of the future. I may be wrong, but given the high cost of Blu-Ray capable players, I think that the Blu-Ray consortium priced themselves out of the future. I have no intention of buying a pricey Blu-Ray player, or a bunch of more-expensive Blu-Ray DVDs that are incompatible with standard DVD players. I don't need fantastic definition high enough to count the individual pubic hairs. And frankly there are some things that I don't care to see filling a 48-inch high-definition widescreen display.

To conclude my ramble, I think for a number of reasons VOD is the way to go. Although it works fine for me personally as it is, video quality of downloadable products will improve. And that's the only significant sticking point right now. My two cents.

I use AVS Media's AVS Video converter. It's a program that you have to purchase at around $49.00 US. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether $49.00 is too expensive or not. To me it feels too like it is, especially since I originally purchased my copy for about $19.95 US.

Of course, my copy of the program is quite old. I am currently using AVS Video Conveter 5.6 while the current one is version 6.2. For all I know, version 6 may have several new features in it which might make a price increase neccessary. I am not familiar with version 6, so I can't say for sure.

Summer Glau is another dark-haired cutie I'd like to capture. BTW, she also trained as a dancer. Just imagine all the positions you could put her in.

Hey Yakker~I agree that Summer's hot although the pic you provided makes her look kinda CGI.

Have you seen "Serenity"? She's cute as hell in that one...and lethal as hell too! She really shows off her flexibilty in it. No bondage or anything though (at least that I know of as I saw the TV version) but still worth a watch.

jhlipton~

Thanks for the additional chair tie pics. They, along with Ralphus' were what I was looking for.

For those only wanting DVD's a lot of the Nicheclips stores don't offer them, or are getting ready to get rid of them. Psycho-Thrillers being one exception that I know of (see URL).

Now the scoop, I have discovered a new source for JapAV that has several Giga flicks not available anywhere else. He sells DVD's for $7, takes Paypal, and will do special order DVD's of anything in the Giga or Zen catalogs (a real boon for someone using mac-which is not supported by their website). I found him on ioffer, he has been super reliable and provided quick service (priority mail within a week).

Yik Yakker: Summer Glau is another dark-haired cutie I'd like to capture. But I understand she could be tough to subdue, based on what I've heard about her TV show

This is why God invented tranquilizers. She may be tough, but enough darts in her, and she'll be dozing like a baby. Once you have her chained up in a crotch-rope with her arms pulled up behind her, she shouldn't give you too much trouble.

Jane: You'll find the lyrics to "The Ballad of Jane" in my URL. Sad but beautiful.

"The Ballad of Jane" made me thing of "Sweet Jane". Lyrics at the URL.

Ed: I can't recommend any retailers because I am not familiar with Canada's retailers

This brings up 2 more advantages: [1] No worries about Customs seizing your disc. If you can link to the web-site, you can watch and/or download the movie. [2] Once you set up your recorder correctly, you never have to worry about "regions" or NTSC/PAL again.

==============================

John Galt: I see absolutely no use in one-time streaming video content and I personally consider it a waste of money.

I can think of times when you might want to stream a video -- if you're unfamiliar with a producer and you want to check out their style. Streaming one movie can let you know whether it's worth-while to download one or more. Also, if it's something you have a mild interest in, streaming can make more sense than down-loading. That said, the producer should have a DRM-free down-load available.

This brings up 2 more advantages: [1] No worries about Customs seizing your disc. If you can link to the web-site, you can watch and/or download the movie....

Oh, yeah, I most definitely was aware of that advantage. Although it sounds like Red Feline has a pretty good record for getting discs across the border. And Video Mayhem has been quite successful at it, as well.

By the way, I pretty much felt compelled to muck around on my computer last night after all the discussion about downloading and converting files, and I managed to resolve an issue I had been having with my existing programs (full disclosure: I wasn't having the problems in the past but something had gone amiss after I bought my new computer and had to reinstall the programs). I won't bore everyone with the details but I'm pleased to report this discussion has definitely advanced things in my world, regardless of whether or not I become a VOD convert.

I will have some reviews soon, including the long awaited TBB 16 w/ Riko Tachibana.

I'm looking forward to this review. Although it's a bit of a shame about her fake-looking man-made breasts, there's no denying Riko was hot and was one of the better porn actresses in the world (I use the past tense because she is now retired). I hope this film has lived up to expectations.

-------------------

LTL: You're right, that picture of Summer Glau does look kinda fake. Well, that's the internet for ya.

I've caught a few glimpses of Serenity but not enough to really know what's going on. *Sigh* So many babes on TV, so little time.

--------------------

Jane: I've resolved the issues with my Reincarnation of Isabel DVD and hope to write a GIMP review, possibly in the next week or two, unless another board member wants to take a stab at it first. Kind of crunched for time right now. As far as comparisons with Black Magic Rites , I don't have plans to acquire that version any time soon, so we'll have to rely on someone else to take on that task. Anyone game?

---------------------

In my URL is a trailer for a movie called The Fear Chamber that might have some GIMP potential. Anyone seen it?

Of course I can believe it...What else do you think demons do? Remember the demon who pops out for just a second during "The Exorcist"...with his 4' long erection (or maybe it was from the statue at the beginning?...you get the point though).

You should have put yourself in that pic....with that big smile. Or are you already there, the opportunist you are, with a demon suit on ;-)

Sorry Ralphus, couldn't resist.

Title: Giga TZZ-07

Starring: Riko Tachibana

Running time: 80 minutes

Japanese porn legend Riko Tachibana's talents are pretty much wasted in this uninspired 2004 flick about a super heroine trying to bust some horny sci-fi criminals.

As fans would know, Riko is a tall, slender beauty who was loved (she retired last year) for her super-charged carnality in a large number of movies, both vanilla and GIMP (such as Riko Tachibana Special). And Riko -- who was 19 when this film was shot -- certainly looks stunning here, dressed in a skin-tight, light-purple super heroine's costume with purple gloves and slutty-looking black boots. Unfortunately, the action in this movie is dull and Riko rarely gets a chance to shine.

The story is about Riko trying to bust some baddies who run a brain-washing operation. Following the obligatory Giga fight scenes (including one part where a villain holds Riko as another fiend throws some punches to her gut), Riko is knocked out and captured. When she awakens, she is a prisoner who will be subjected to the villains' brain-washing techniques.

The shot of captive Riko in a metal chair is our first sign of trouble. Although there is a steel band around her head and leather bands around her waist, wrists and ankles -- all connected to a series of electric cables -- it doesn't look like Riko is actually bound to the chair. Her arms are definitely free (she moves them all over the place) and it's not clear why she sits there as the villains subject her to a series of electro charges. In any event, the brain-washing jolts cause Riko to fantasize about being naked and masturbating herself in a scene that runs way too long.

One really big electro jolt knocks Riko out and blasts a number of holes in her costume, exposing her nipples (you don't actually see the charge blast holes in her costume -- the screen goes white). After Riko reawakens, she remains seated as a weird-looking villain with a messed-up face rips open a lower part of Riko's costume to expose her private area. A second villain wearing a gas mask and white helmet then inserts a penis-like tentacle into Riko's pussy and Riko is violated in this odd way. If Riko had been restrained in the chair, this scene may have worked, but as it is, it falls flat.

Things get a bit better in the next sequence. Riko, still wearing her sexy super heroine costume with the holes in it, is on her back on a table, with her wrists and ankles bound by chains tied to the table. It's not the most secure bondage ever seen but it's good enough as a mutant villain takes the opportunity to finger helpless Riko. Riko does some nice writhing and struggling as she is finger fucked. The mutant then rapes Riko missionary style (a curved opening at one end of the table helps) in a scene that is OK but nothing special.

The best part of the movie comes next. Riko is sitting in a dark jail cell, in her ripped uniform, while outside the jail cell are four tattered-looking freaks in ripped clothes and with dirty gauze bandages wrapped around parts of their heads. The four grunting freaks are reaching through the cell bars, anxious to molest Riko. Someone lets the freaks into the cell and they trap the seated Riko in a corner.

This is when we finally get to see the Riko Tachibana the world adores. The grunting freaks get Riko on her back on the floor, securely holding her arms and body, and go to work pawing her. Still wearing her torn costume, Riko's enhanced breasts are felt up, her pussy is licked, her fingers and slender waist are licked, and one guy licks Riko's face and forces kisses on her, as Riko squeals and struggles in vain to break free. Beautiful Riko's cries of anguish and shame are convincing. After ripping off more of her costume, the villains move Riko onto all fours and a villain fucks her doggy style while the others hold squealing Riko in place. Once again, Riko struggles in vain to get free, trying but failing to push the villains off her as she is violated. In this otherwise great scene's weakest moment, Riko is forced to squat in front of a freak and blow him until the guy cums in her mouth. The freaks then go back to molesting Riko on her back, with one guy sucking her left tit and another licking her pussy while the others run their dirty hands all over her.

A hero arrives who shoots the freaks dead and rescues Riko. And that's about it. Except....

This film also has 20 minutes of a less-happy alternate ending. Unfortunately, the alternate ending doesn't add much. In the alternate ending, Riko, who is in her torn costume, is brainwashed and therefore only partially restrained as she gets violated missionary-style on the table by a super-agent superior who has turned traitor. She is then violated by another guy. Finally, a completely unrestrained Riko kneels in front of a guy and blows him. Ho-hum.

My grade: C

I usually like Giga movies. And I love Riko Tachibana. But this film just doesn't work. The only worthwhile moment is the one with the freaks in the jail cell but that seven-minute scene isn't enough to save the movie. Overall, Giga TZZ-07 is a snoozer.

I prefer the TV show "Firefly" to the movie it spawned. But all four of the female stars are lookers: Along with Ms Glau, there's Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin and Jewel Staite. Alone or in combos, they're all prime GIMP material.

FYI: for those that already bought a download-to-own, you will be issued a gift certificate for the download-to-burn as soon as it is available.

Market studies that were shown to us by the company we're working with read that most clients (of this genre) would prefer a download-to-own rather than a download-to-burn. This apparently was not accurate and when we launched the site and there were several complaints. For this reason we're adding the download-to-burn and taking out the download-to-own.

The format is called fluxDVD. It retains the quality of the original DVD as well as the menu, trailers, etc., while compressing the format for a faster download.

That certainly sounds like my kind of download. It looks like this fluxDVD system will be pretty user friendly.

Frankly, I'm not surprised to hear that many of the people who download movies want to be able to burn the films to discs, so they can watch the films on their TVs. That would be my preferred option.

----------------

Speaking of "tied up", there's a movie by that name linked in my URL. Can't find any comments about it. Anyone familiar with it? ----------------

jhlipton: Those gals from "Firefly" are a fine-looking group. Any of them get the GIMP treatment?

Alas, Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog) is not much for GIMPs. There are a few notable exceptions, but they are few and far between. As for "Firefly" itself, Kaylee is threatened with rape in the episode "Objects in Space", but I think that's as close as it comes.

We're going to have to use our imaginations, I'm afraid. Of course, we can imagine a LOT worse for these women than anything they'd dare put on TV!

-------------

A Canadian: Great to read another one of your Japanese reviews. We haven't had many movies reviewed here lately so hopefully this will inspire others. Kind of a bummer to read that Giga TZZ-07 apparently suffers in the bondage department. The scene that sounds the most appealing to me is the electric shock scene, so the lack of restraint during the sequence is mystifying. In fact, it sounds like she wasn't even tied during the rape scene you liked so much (holding her down helps but actual bondage is much better).

The direct link to your review is in my Homepage URL.

-------------

Serenity babes: I never saw that show, but Joss Whedon has a horrible track record for casting incredibly attractive women in his shows and then doing little to them in terms of bondage peril. Case in point: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Charisma Carpenter, Eliza Dushku, Alyson Hannigan , Michelle Trachtenberg...the list goes on and on, all of them gorgeous. They had some tie-ups but very few gaggings and almost no extreme action directed toward any of the girls. The closest thing I saw was the episode where Sarah and Alyson were nearly burned at the stake by a group of parents at their school.

Ironically, Summer Glau herself was tied to a stake on "Firefly" and a torch was lit, but she was rescued before they could set the fire in one of the all-time teases in TV history.

BTW, I was blown away by that pic of Morena Baccarin that jhlipton linked. Absolutely stunning girl. So I searched a bit more on her. Did you guys realize she chopped off all her beautiful hair? Check out what she did to herself: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1308269312/nm1072555

Sorry, that is absolutely disgusting. Like I've said before, having a woman cut off her hair is just as bad as getting a big ol' nasty tattoo in my book. Of course, everyone knows I'm anti-tattoo but I also have a long hair fetish. I can't think of any woman who looked better by going with short hair. It's never an improvement. So why do they do it? Another great babe bites the dust. *sigh*

Ralphus, some people like the "pixie" look. On the right woman, it gives her an interesting character.

I agree. In fact, two women I can think of who should not wear long hair are Melanie Griffith and Molly Ringwald. And they both seem to know that.

------------------------

I've just seen the 1969 western Hot Spur, and it was even more fun than I expected. Now, we're not talking masterpiece material here, but besides the whipping scene with Virginia Gordon (included in the WSIMD) there are also rapes, hogties, clothes-rippings, and more rapes. In my URL is a site with two thumbnail pics of scenes from the movie, each showing the luscious Ms. Gordon. In the first, her husband tears the front of her dress off before jumping her. In the second, she's gagged and tied AOH from the rafters, just before being whipped.

If there is interest, I might review Hot Spur, but it will have to get in line behind a few other flicks.

------------------------

Another movie I've seen recently is Jess Franco's Sadomania. Those of you who've seen it will say it's not really a GIMP movie, and I agree...there are a host of missed opportunities. But I was lmfao at the non-stop topless and nude female flesh on display. Never seen anything like it in a mainstream movie...if you can consider a Franco film mainstream.

We haven't had many movies reviewed here lately so hopefully this will inspire others.

For what it's worth, I'm on tap to review New Slave Island 6 sometime after its official release next month. Good or bad, I figure the casting of JAV stars Yuna Mizumoto, Rei Aoki and Ryo Takamiya in the same Slave Island movie definitely makes it review-worthy.

I first saw this movie in 1989. I rented it from my video store but it was called "Love Desperados" Enjoyed it so much I dubbed it for keeps. (Please don't tell the FB1.)

This is one of those great sexploitation flicks that doesn't skimp on the rapes.

And the star, Virginia Gordon, just made me bust my zipper, especially with her bosom heaving with her cruise missle nipples.

If I was the actor who played her rapist, I would have been willing to do it for free to get a chance to play with those milkbags.

I can't wait to read your assessment.

Not to belabor a subject that is only marginally on-topic, but...

I agree. And some women have such beautiful faces that they can pull off a short haircut and still be considered attractive. But here's my point: if you've got long, voluptuous hair like Morena Baccarin, honey, that's your best feature. Most women would kill to have hair like that. Guys would be punching out other guys just for a shot at dating her. And then she goes and does this to herself. Granted, she's still pretty, but how many guys think she looks better this way? Show of hands. Anyone? (sounds of crickets chirping)

Some years ago, there was a show called "Felicity" on the WB. It became a huge hit for the network, and while the writing was great, most people tuned in to see its star, Keri Russell, one of the cutest girls in TV history (my opinion, but since I'm always right, let's just accept it as fact). Anyway, in the second season, the ratings tanked and the show nearly got canceled. It's widely accepted that the reason for the show's decline is that Keri cut off her beautiful long curly locks and went from looking like this to this monstrosity.

It's a guy thing. Guys, on the whole, prefer long hair. So if we're talking an actress on TV or a bondage model in the nasty little movies we all enjoy, women owe it to us guys to look their best. That is, unless they're too misguided to see the nose in front of their face. If they decide to chop off their hair or mark up their bodies with ugly tattoos, it's certainly their prerogative as human beings. But if they're in the entertainment business, they need to use their best assets if they expect to be popular and for us guys to fork over our hard-earned cash to watch them perform.

In my URL is a scene from House of 1,000 dolls in which the girl's hair is just the right length for a whipping scene. If only they had gotten rid of that @#$%^! bra.

But there are folks out there who have a lot more expertise in these matters than I do, so I'd like to hear some other views about the pros and cons of long hair in bondage scenes. Examples and illustrations would help too. ;b

In the "Mary Bryant" whipping scene, it looks as if the unfortunate woman's hair is gathered and tied out of the way. For that, of course, you need a victim who's subdued, restrained, or compliant. It's not easy to put up a struggling girl's hair in a bun.

Obviously you've given this matter a great deal of thought. So have I -- many times!

In any event, I am assuming you are referring to Colleen Stan, the Girl in the Box. I would vote for seeing the rapes depicted. And if our friend Jefferson drops by, I'm sure he will vote that way, too.

I guess if I could book a dream lineup (from the list)it would include Kerri Taylor, Samantha Grace, Scarlette (Sick Scarlette), Victoria Meredith and Lavender Rayne.

Are any of you familiar with their work as to recommend what they've done to check out?

Man, them Japanese fuckers is into some weird shit.

-------------------

Bill Zebub: If your movie about Coleen Stan has a well-done rack scene, I'm in.

-------------------

If the subject of long hair hasn't been worn out yet, I would just like to cite a creative use for lengthy tresses, as illustrated by Anitra Ford in the jungle WIP epic The Big Bird Cage.

-------------------

In another WIP flick, Women in Fury, Suzane Carvalho is attacked by fellow WIP inmates armed with wet towels, who strip her and whip her, in a pretty cool scene.

For some extra fun, catch her in Massacre in Dinosaur Valley, in which she spends an entire scene wearing just a skimpy loincloth and having to escape being sacrificed to a demon by a tribe of bloodthirsty savages. In my URL is a link to a trailer clip; she's the one in (and out of) the blue top. A very entertaining B-movie.

If there were to be a movie made about "The Lady in the Box" (I forgot her real name), what would you personally want to see depicted?

Well, yeah, of course. It's a great story. Certainly that's not something you're planning to tackle, are you? After all, your last film was already based on the Colleen Stan story and...well, it really wasn't very good, was it?

I mean, such an important real-life case should be directed by someone who's not afraid to go all out and show the real-life bondage and tortures and not sanitize things like you did last time. Someone who actually understands the appeal of extreme bondage, rape and torture and knows how to film it. Because the only way a film like the Colleen Stan story could have a strong visceral impact would be to truly exploit the horrors she went though and make it as grimly realistic as possible.

--------------

YikYakker: The one thing that bothered me about the hair suspension scene in The Big Bird Cage was that Anitra Ford had her hands tied in front during the scene. Having hands in front gives the victim too much control. Realistically, she could have raised her arms up and grabbed the pole and taken the pressure off her hair, and maybe looped her arms over the pole and supported herself that way.

A similar scene that I like better (although nobody ever mentions) is in Caged Heat 2. Even though that film is best remembered for Jewel Shepard's topless whipping scene, there's also a really nice scene where Jewel is tortured by being hung by her hair and left that way to suffer overnight. Some nice painful close-ups on her face as she hangs helplessly. In fact, I probably like that scene even better than the whipping.

Having hands in front gives the victim too much control. Realistically, she could have raised her arms up and grabbed the pole and taken the pressure off her hair, and maybe looped her arms over the pole and supported herself that way.

I'm sure Anitra Ford appreciated those contingencies in-between takes. :)

But seriously, you're right, it does detract somewhat from the impact of the scene. As does the loose-looking strap around her wrists. And the fact that she's not naked.

In my URL is a review of Caged Heat 2 showing pics from the flick, including the hair-hanging scene you mentioned. I wondered why this one is not in my WIP collection, but it apparently was never put on DVD, which is probably the reason. But then, if anyone ever did the transfer, they'd probably sanitize all the good stuff out of it.

Anyone have any feedback on a DVD called "Amateur Bound Tortured Tits"? It has a super hot model named "Violetta Storms". Violetta's got a bod that won't quit. In fact I had her lined up for a custom video (and could still have it done...still debating) but the person shooting advised against it as they didn't think too much of her acting ability (last thing I want is for someone to sleepwalk through their role).

I've only seen the pics off the cover (she's the one on the top left on both the front and back covers), and if she's gonna be covered up all the way except for her breasts, then that wouldn't interest me.

Anyone familiar, feedback? Link to DVD on URL and a few pics below.

Violetta Storms

It's been tough for me to read the forum lately (and in the near future.) Real-life events have taken up most of my time.

I'd just like to say that if Bill Zebub does do the Colleen Stan story, I hope we don't go through that whole "full-hood" controversy again.

I've been busy working with the VOD store. How I happened to take on that burden, I just don't know. So any mistakes, you can blame me personally or Flickrocket, our partner. We're smoothing out all the bumps that happen when something new is implemented. So far, we haven't had many problems. The download-to-burn is coming very soon. And more titles will be available as they are uploaded and triple-checked.

We're shooting more of The Agent tonight and this weekend. Not exactly what most people do to relax at the end of the workweek, is it? The Agent will be released when it's ready. JJ is editing Double Cross and that will be released first.

Someone emailed us the other day asking why RFPIX has so little output after being in business for ten years. Well... in order to make a living we are forced to do other things in addition to RFPIX. Under different names/company we make documentaries, feature films, and sometimes produce commercials. Also, we are few, so we all have to take on more than we sometimes care to. Someday soon I'm hoping to combine my perverted interests with my other career(s).

Delivery was as promised (15 days) though the Bolivian stamps and routing was a surprise.

The video itself I found boring. I assume since it was the first RF effort they were reaching for something. This vid did not deliver. If your idea is WHAP, WHAP, WHAP for an hour then they deliver.

The bondage was poor. I put that at the feet of the first effort. Her reactions did not meet the torment. There were times when the whip marks did not match the timeline. In short, the whole thing was a bore after about 15 minutes.

At 50USD a pop, I can't buy again without some hope, and proof, RF has advanced in skill.

And yet, I'm already enthusiastically looking forward to their new movie The Agent and already volunteered to review it for the forum, even without seeing any stills. And as a lot of regulars here know, I'm usually very selective with the movies I choose to review. And the reason I'm planning to, honestly, is because I think Jane von Detlefson is hot and I like the new direction that Red Feline is going, apparently not concentrating so much on blood and gore and instead going with more "traditional" tortures like beating, strangulation, rape, and electroshock. I already know the victim is attractive so that's a big plus right there. I have no idea if they can pull it off successfully, but I'm willing to check it out and let you guys know my honest opinion.

Anyway, I appreciate your honesty. I don't know if any extreme people are ever going to make an ultra graphic movie about that story - if that ever happens then you will probably be very happy. I'm just not allowed. It's not my money being pumped into it.
