Ralphus: Dreambook cut off access to our old URL tonight, . . .

Do you have those fifteen years archived?

TRG asked:

Do you have those fifteen years archived?

We do. Check the Guestbook Archives button. You can also search for anything using the Search the GIMP feature.

Geez-Louise… There's so much action at this place lately, I can't keep up. Good thing the new board is able to hold a bigger barrel of bygone posts or slow-pokes like me would miss out on goodies from just a few days ago. Yeah, I know… there are archives, but who wants to go through archives? That's like reading year-old newspapers.

And with so much going on, the majority still prefers the non-threaded layout? Good grief – I thought only the GIMPs were allowed to be masochists around here.

I guess some of the traffic is because of this fifteenth anniversary thing. Which reminds me, happy birthday, site! And many thanks to Ralphus and his crew of loyal, much taller friends (yes, they do exist!) for keeping this place humming, even after it flat-lined. Of course our moderator had to offer his first-born to Amy for casting the spell which brought the dead back to life, but hey… that's what he's here for.

Pic of the Day:

No wonder those tigers are pissed. She's wearing one of their relatives as a swimsuit

If that's the case, why are the tigers attacking the oddly diverse cast of villains instead of their more tasty target? Methinks the allegiances here are not as they should be. Either that, or the blonde's suit is synthetic.

Covers: Thanks for today's cover, but that seems to be some kind of preliminary rendering. Surely it didn't show up like that on the front of A-OK for Men in 1963, did it? I mean, there's… there's a… (I can barely bring myself to say it) a NIPPLE in plain view on one of the victims… like right out there… completely visible… where everyone can see it. If that was on the cover of a MAM over fifty years ago, why didn't the world end? This doesn't look like a Photoshop mod, and if it truly made it to the cover, it would be the only one of hundreds I've seen that featured… well, you know, Janet Jackson. There was some occasional toplessness accompanying the stories inside, but this? Wow.

BTW… Any idea what “Get legs out!” means? Can't be good when you're being attacked by three Maoists with knives and swords.

Duillo of the day: Lovely. But if that is indeed Fortunato standing next to a cask of… something, as a lifelong Edgar Allan Poe fan, I want to see more. Any chance we can get this one into the new MAM stories section?

Poll: Like several others, I don't remember the first time I visited here or why. I do recall linking to the site about once or twice a year, even in the early days, but to be honest, it didn't grab me till much later. I think I thought of it as a place more for rape fetishists than torture fans. But at some point I must have begun lurking here regularly, and I believe that was only a few months before I started posting (April, 2010).

Today's picture; Ralphus I think the tigers are coming to Tiger Girl's rescue myself. Bill K.

JD: great fake with Bib Fortuna (Jabba's right-hand man) and Eve-9D9 (the robot torturer) interrogating Leia. More, if you have any, please. Interesting thought: Jabba tells her to be his slave, or he turns her over to the Empire....she is the third-most wanted in the Empire, after Mon Mothma (the head of the Rebel Alliance), and her brother Luke.

Happy 15th birthday Gimp! In answer to the poll question, I first found this forum because an (online) friend of mine told me about it. I don't think he has ever posted much here, but I know he's a great fan of you guys.

I know it's been awhile since I posted last, but things have been really busy for me which have included a move from New Zealand to Australia.

And a very late thanks for the new forum to Amy : )

Becky

Inspired by the recent men's magazine covers (particularly the anniversary one) I made this tribute.

And this is the un-monkeyed about with one of me getting treated to some Nazi hospitality, but without the post-work to make it look like a magazine or comic cover.

They sell Inquisitor on Steam, at 9.99

or you can get it from torrents from places like [kickass.to] if you're the adventurous type. :)

Well, Fritz old boy, you've fallen for my little April Fools joke. As you can see, the publisher just cropped off the bottom of the painting for publication. No fuss, no PhotoShop.

If you look closely at the back leg of the girl tied to the post, you can see that it is very strangely angled. The note was presumably a comment on that artistic FUBAR.

Todays cover is from A-OK For Men Apr 1963 V1 #1

Ralphus, thanks for today's cover. That is one of my all time favorite comic book covers, and one of the very few that would have been at home on a MAM.

Becky: Appreciate the contribution, but we don't accept links to US commercial videos here. I had no idea CutScenes.net carried material like that. I've not explored the site that closely, but I really thought they were about...cut scenes from old movies. I'm not a fan of Sex and Submission, but they don't deserve to have their material stolen and posted on a site like that, and we're not going to help the cause by linking to them.

Hope you understand.

Cutscenes is a site made by the same (Russian?) guy who's running WIP (women in prison) site, at [wipfilms.net]

WIP is a golden mine for exploitation films, he offers for free download pretty much all everything that's sleazy in cinema. Since I saw plenty of titles available that would bring lawsuits in my part of the world, I assume he's running his business from Russia, China or other internet lawless place.

Cutscenes was initially geared toward exploitation scenes from movies but now it's a bazaar where everything can be posted, no matter how gory or sexual in content. More offending, the better, actually. :)

It's a but sluggish at times but since they host all the oddities imaginable, I'm not complaining.

Killing attempts on Jabba's life mean red hot irons on Tattoine. Bib Fortuna, his most trusted henchman will get the spoils after the punishment is concluded.

Last entry of the day. A movie I've seen recently, Satanico Pandemonium (1975), a Mexican nunsploitation. I edited the GIMP sequence of the movie and uploaded it to [www.cutscenes.net]

Enjoy.

PS I have no affiliation with cutscene, it's just an open-minded platform I can upload my stuff.

REVIEW: Letter to my Brother (ElitePain)

This latest release from ElitePain is an example of a film that does nearly everything right—at least from my point of view. Two female protagonists, both attractive, not a tat in sight, a “story line” (well, sort of), the girls naked early in the show—a disappointment perhaps to those who think tattered dresses are sexier than female skin—in tight bondage and with three nice torture segments that should cover most of what fans of whipping and electro torture look for.



First, the story: Won't take long to dispose of that. Perhaps Max Lomp has been hearing from Pedro about those on the list who prefer a story line, so we learn (if you happen to read the description of the film on the site) that this takes place in an imaginary society where women are ultra deprived elements of the system. That’s not mentioned in the story, but we do get to see a few segments of Max sitting with a laptop and tapping out a (voice-overed) letter to his brother about his being a judge (one of his favorite fantasies, along with being a psychiatrist) and getting the chance to torture these two young women who are accused of something unclear and from whom he wants information, also unclear.



It takes about 1 minute to get the younger girl—the innocent younger sister from History of Pain!—nude and strapped to a chair where she has electric wires attached to her breast and pussy. Her friend is watching and emoting as part of the torture, but except for a few brief cutaways we are focused on the visual and auditory responses of the sweetheart in the chair. She’s gagged with duct tape and has a strap around her forehead and each forearm, belts holding her thighs.



There are really no sound effects here to help with the illusion of electricity, and one of the weaknesses of the film first becomes apparent here: Lomp or whoever directs is generally very good at pacing. Not in this case. It appears that the electricity is turned on and just left running by the deadpan mistress for 4-5 minutes. The reaction of the girl crying soon becomes tiring. There’s no turning it on to get the arching of the body, then turning it off to let her collapse, no increasing the power, no building of the vocal response or the physical response. It’s hard to imagine that one might consider fast-forwarding through a beautiful, innocent nude woman tied to a chair and being tortured by electricity but…well, the thought entered my mind the first time I watched the film.

Finally Judge Max appears and rips off strip of tape, which obviously was just stuck onto her upper lip like a fake mustache, and asks if she’s ready to talk, and she says, “I will admit everything.”


No, don't worry. See this is an imaginary society where…well, you know that’s not going to be the end. After another minute of Max looking sleepy and complaining to his brother about not being able to use “hippo-leather” whips any more, we are into scene 2.





Now we have the two girls, still without a tattered piece of clothing in sight, spread eagled side-by-side between posts being whipped on their backs. Both girls have beautiful bodies and both respond well (and differently) to the strokes they receive. Oddly enough, though the sound of their vocal responses is clear and excellent, we never really hear the whip, which ordinarily is a strong point with ElitePain. The background is completely dark and Lomp is essentially invisible back there meting out his punishment.



Great directorial choice (from my point of view again, almost the whole scene is shot from the front. That’s the side where all the stuff that differentiates the women from boys is located (from Story of O).



I know some prefer to see the striped backs and buttocks. Get History of Pain if that's your cup of tea. If you like to see the physical reactions, the jumps and hanging from wrists, and writhing, this scene will be what you like. There are some intercuts of backs and stripes for authenticity sake, but not much.



The “older” short-haired girl is a squealer and does a great job of arching and writhing and trying to get away from the next stroke. I couldn't help wishing she had been in the chair with the electrodes to see how she responded. When Max re-appears, he tells his brother that she “passed out”. Note to directors: That doesn't take major acting talent, and it is a very sexy image—at least to me. Why not show her hanging in her bonds?, Nice slow pan up or down the full length of her body.



Again here Max’s sense of pacing and building a scene deserts him. OK, I know that watching two nude spread women being whipped—even invisibly and barely audibly—isn't likely to lead to boredom, but again I found the scene went on too long, because it was (like most porn flicks) just the same thing over and over. Great for capping, but a bit tiresome to watch. There’s really not much begging or pleading. The long-haired girl’s response to being struck tends to be to hang down, which is a very attractive choice (though sometimes hard for the camera to keep her in the frame, and her vocal responses are more of the continued crying as while she was in the chair.



Don't get me wrong. Both girls are excellent and clearly responding to pain and did I mention they are beautiful and built and nude and without tats? I think perhaps for those who have found previous ElitePain efforts too brutal, this one will be more appealing for the lack of marking, etc.


So now Max decides to focus just on the “younger” long-haired girl and finally moves around to the front. Nice scene here with two whippers (one of my favorite situations—and one EP does very well in other works. Max and the mistress work her from either side, the woman striking on the back and Max on the front.



The scene opens in high gear with 24 strokes in 35 seconds and a very strong performance by the actress. She cries and pleads and the blows of the leather on her flesh is clearly audible and quite obviously real.



There are shots of front and back during this scene.

Personal note here: One of the sexiest sounds a woman can make during a whipping is groaning. The actress in The Journalist and several others in the EP oeuvre reach the point where they've moved past crying and are just plain suffering. It obviously requires a commitment to taking a lot of pain over a fair period of time to reach that point. Another very nice element of this scene is that the girl is on her toes almost throughout the whole process, which of course makes her legs look great.



The film ends with a voice-over from Max to remind us that this is all about a letter to his brother—in case we forgot—or cared.




For fans of whipping especially—and somewhat for electro torture—this one gets an A from me. Incredible women, minimal fooling around and nasty tortures with good production values and a pretty reasonable price are hard to beat. It appears that the folks from Mood/ElitePain are continuing to set the standard in this area in a very impressive way.

Petelobo: Nice and interesting review! Though I think I must correct one thing:

It takes about 1 minute to get the younger girl—the innocent younger sister from History of Pain!—nude and strapped to a chair where she has electric wires attached to her breast and pussy.

It's not the younger sister from HOP1 (Nancy). She's a new talent, she's called Natalie. There's a chance that both girls will appear in History of Pain: Inquisition. So you will have a chance to compare the two girls on one scene.

I don't have anything to do with this movie but thank you for the review in the name of Max Lomp, who is the writer and director of this one.

Question about electric shock torture movie scenes is why don't the producers incorporate the real electric shock with the fake electric shock torture scenes like this Kink Wired Pussy movie picture above. They scream, slobber, and cry in real pain. Instead they fake it. I don't get it. Bill K.

April Fools? Nice try, Covers… but that post went up on March 31. Besides, I didn't fall for anything. It actually did occur to me that the artwork might have been cropped, since the offending nipple was so close to the bottom margin. Now that you've confirmed this, isn't it interesting that the artist went to the bother of adding this enticing detail knowing full well that it would be unceremoniously bowdlerized? Of course it could never have been released as depicted here, which does make its appearance now all the more impressive. I would love to know what (if any) such cover(t) plums may have been included in preliminary versions of MAM covers over the years.

As for the leg, it seems the artist (or someone) missed the memo.

JD: That WIP site might be a “golden mine” in your eyes, but it's still nothing more than a pirate operation. It's one thing to share a video with a buddy or two, but making a motherlode of copyrighted material available in its entirety for free download is not only illegal, but detrimental to the producers and legitimate distributors who are trying to survive by selling it.

Frankly, I don't give a rat's ass if this sort of thing is or isn't against the law in Outer Glorbnitz, it causes a sizable dint in the revenues of the folks who are creating the material we enjoy. Sure, a lot of the films were released by big studios, but there are quite a few from small, independent outfits as well. More than one such business has folded because its owners couldn't control their content from flooding Torrent and sites like this one.

And yes, the guy who runs WIPFilms does care about getting caught. I know of at least one producer who went after him, and when confronted, the site owner removed the offending titles from his catalog.

[ Hops off soapbox ]

Re: fake electric torture scenes: electricity is something that makes some people more scared of it than they need to be, so not every woman will agree to let herself be wired up for real shocks.

Pedro,

Thanks for the information. Can't wait to see them together! I hope it works out.

Fritz: I'm not going into get into a debate about the virtues of copyright enforcement here. I only mentioned a resource for titles long out of print or banned in some countries (UK is the first that comes to my mind).

Like everything is life, I take copyright issues with moderation. If one goes to extreme, even the covers of long-defunct magazines are protected by copyright for 75 years and the fair use doctrine is rather fickle here (the presumption of a greater good for society).

Therefore, in my book, if I crave for material commercially available, I'll buy it. Got a full room of VHS/DVDs to prove it. But if the said material is out of print or unavailable in my country, I have no qualms getting it from places like WIP. No harm done.

March 31 was just the setup for my April Fools joke, but if you want to live in denial, be my guest.

A web site comparing original art to published covers sounds like a great idea.

Duillo of the day: _jm048r_duillo.jpg

I'd like to chime in on the "skimpy clothes" vs. nude discussion. Personally I like: a) capture, b) restraint, c) stripped, c+) use/abuse as stripping occurs, d) full frontal nudity, d+) with all sorts of fun to be had!
So, I agree with the skimpy crowd it definitely has its place - see photo from a portion of a HOM photo-shoot/video. The "action" didn't end here, so we move on to more skin on display.

PS for those riggers/photographers reading this. When you have a beautiful woman whose willing/eager to be tied up don't photograph her naked/topless face down on a bed to show us you skills at tying a hogtie; photograph her on her side so that we can still admire your rope work and her naked/nude restrained body, thanks.

Just testing this function for bugs. :) Some were getting a 500 error.

@Ralphus:

Yeah, that girl really suffered! That's why I like the video! Her scream is indeed top notch!

And, wow, you feel sorry for her? Hm, that's interesting. I don't think I've ever felt sorry for anybody in a GIMP video because I know they're getting paid for it and it was done with their consent. Now I'm interested to know if some other posters here ever felt sorry for a GIMP victim (different story otherwise).

About her wounds...sadly, I don't think the portion where her skin was removed would completely heal. By that, I mean she's gonna have some permanent mark for sure. I got into a motorcycle accident around 6 years ago and a portion of the skin in my left arm suffered from an injury similar to hers, where it was eventually removed by the doctors. To this day the mark is visible, that's why I could say for sure she's gonna have some lasting mark on her breast. Small, yes, but it's still in an important part of her womanhood so...ouch, I guess.

@A Canadian:

Ow, and just when I thought you'd like it!

I knew you're not into willing victims, but man you gotta admit some willing victims out there endure serious shit like the girl in the video did!

@Bill K:

Hey, who doesn't like sushi?!

And this Blakemore dude I've been hearing about...now, I'm trying to remember if I had addressed him before.

So, he's into this extreme stuff, huh? Would love to hear his opinion.

About that tattered clothes vs nude debate, definitely NUDE!

Buffy and Anya in vampires' dungeon.

Today's picture, why are her legs not tied down? Way too much slack for a good pendulum scene.

Elite Pain? Hi Pedro. Ok, so this is just my own taste as I know we all have our own thing going. I was reading Petelobo's review on the latest movie and he stated it has everything he would want which is fine.

However, as a potential customer of the productions, here is the reason I won't pay to see them. The first picture of the victim tied between the 2 poles. I don't know what he means by tied tight, but she should be pulled taught, spread, arched, on her toes.

The second picture of the victim in the chair. Chair positions only work for me of her arms are behind her, perhaps elbows tied back, perhaps bar between her back and arms to keep her tits poking out. Arms should never be so slack as to make and L. Positions bend women over forwards or scrunch them so you can't see their female form don't make sense to me either.

Other than that, love the hard whippings and crying.

petelobo: Nice work on the review of Letter to my Brother.

For reasons that have been discussed before, the Elite Pain works aren't really my kind of thing. But those who are into it will surely appreciate the emphasis put into the whippings.

Thanks for putting the review together.

JD: Thanks for the clip of Satanico Pandemonium. I recall Hank Hobbs capped that years ago so I bought the DVD just based on his caps. While the visuals are very stimulating, what a rip that we're literally talking a mere 36 seconds of footage in a 90 minute movie!





BTW, I believe that's supposed to be molten lead they're pouring down the unfortunate woman's throat. They threatened the young nun with the same treatment earlier in the film.

But anyway, I just don't understand the logic of showing torture in a movie and giving us just a tiny taste of what we want to see. I mean, why else would people watch a movie like that? This is just one of the reasons why Maleficarum was so good by comparison, because they never held back on dishing out the tortures; in fact, they practically reveled in it. But unfortunately, that film is more the exception as opposed to the rule.

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

Petelobo: Great job on your review of Letter to my Brother. I'm quite intrigued by what I've seen based on your review and the trailer at their site. A bit disappointing that you felt the electricity scene was sub-par, since that's the scene I would be most interested in. But all the girls in the film are attractive and tat-free, and that's a big bonus in my book. After seeing History of Pain 1, I'm starting to look at ElitePain in a new light.

I edited out the line about the electro girl being in HOP1 and uploaded your latest review into the Reviews section. Here's your direct link: http://ralphus.net/reviews/other/lettertomybrother.htm.

I'm not completely insensitive to the plight that women have to go through for our perverted entertainment. Yes, they're still getting paid, but when it comes to the Japanese film you reviewed or something real like an ElitePain film, it stops being as much fun and you begin to worry that the woman might incur potentially disfiguring injuries as a result of the treatment she's getting onscreen. That's why mutilation scenes usually bother me. You don't ever want to see her lose her femininity or her good looks. You want her to recover completely...so she can still be pretty when she's tortured again. And again.

Because Satanico catered to a completely different audience. That movie has a relatively wide audience target, a soft shlocksploitation for men with a fetish in nuns and gratuitous nudity. I'm sure that short torture sequence was intended to shock the 1976 audience but not too much to move the needle into a sadist movie genre and probably not for sexual titillation. The audience Tarantino would belong, for example.

Maleficarum was targeted to a much narrower audience, namely us, that's why it worked. We might not be that many as we like to believe but we like our stuff and we're ready to pay for it. Tarantino wouldn't.

While I bought maybe half of the exploitation movies I've seen, I bought everything I've seen from VermeerWorks. But numerically, we are a narrow audience, let's face it. We are the people with special needs. :)

My 2 centavos

JD, thanks for the Buffy and Anya scene. BTVS is one of my all-time favorite shows. And Anya is one of my favorite characters. She always made me laugh!

Statistics say the Americans read too little. The publishers chose more attractive covers.

Covers: Thanks, Anya was my fav as well.

@Ralphus:

Hm, so you were worried about the girls' health most of all. I guess I can understand that viewpoint.

Although, still, I don't think I've ever met any GIMP victim that made me worry about her well being, but who knows in the future, eh?

Now that you mention Elite Pain...I have an idea for a new review.

This MAM is from Amy's neck of the woods or Jungle. I hope she and all the Red Feline gang are doing OK with all those earthquakes down there. Bill K.

Poll Q: Found out about the site when I typed in a search request in Yahoo for ZFX video. This was one of the results.

A link to the best "spy interrogation" scene I have ever seen.

[www.cutscenes.net]

Granted, this had to be simulated (the way the actress was wired up would have killed her for real, very quickly) and exaggerated for cinematic effect - but: "nice" effect.

To those who are concerned about our safety I'd like to say that we're fine. The earthquake happened far away beyond the Andean Mountain Range, in the north of Chile. Some people in our city of La Paz felt a tremor or two, those people live in tall buildings, but none of us felt anything out of the ordinary, not even the cats, that normally freak out in these kind of events.

We're safe, preparing to work in the productions. Thank you for asking Bill K.

Dear Ralphus and gang,

I am so glad you are able to be up and running, smoothly hopefully. Miss Hesketh is indeed a remarkable source of ingenuity.

In my only forum posting I asked if any of the Blakemore extreme clips are available, I have found a few being offered at Bizzarro Video. Each one lumped together with another 'ancient' clip but at fairly reasonable prices. They can be found well towards the back of their catalog under various titles. I haven't yet downloaded so cannot verify quality.

I have a friend who used to write for those old Men's magazines just as they were dying out on the newsstands. He won't admit to which ones he wrote as they paid his way thru business college, but I'm sure he's glad someone out there appreciates that genre. Maybe some of the other writers or their family members might respond.

Take care,
Erodite

What I meant was that the bondage of wrists and ankles wasn't loose cuffs or scarves, etc. They were clearly holding the women in place. I guess I wasn't aware of the rigidity of requirements. Sure, I like it well enough as you described, but I'm also a big fan of dancing. If these two models had been placed the only way you would pay to see them, then we'd have missed one of the best elements of the video--the different ways they responded physically to pain. I love AOH and tight standing spread-eagle, but not to buy a video because the models can MOVE??. You're missing out, man.

Chair positions only work for me of her arms are behind her, perhaps elbows tied back, perhaps bar between her back and arms to keep her tits poking out.

If I ran the world, chair ties would have crossed wrists pulled down behind the neck and tied to the top cross-bar of the chair. That's really a gorgeous presentation position. But I have seen and, yes, paid for plenty of less than "perfect" (i.e. exactly catering to my tastes) material. I think this was covered in a previous poll: for me it's the victim that matters most. How she looks, how she struggles, how she suffers. That's the beauty for me. A bad torturer can limit my enjoyment. Bad production values, bad bondage, poor pacing--all those things are frustrating, but you can cut out most of them. Guess we're just on different levels in terms of what MUST be in order for us to dig it.

Petelobo: I understand what you are saying about wiggle room and dancing. So, just in my own personal gimp games with my wife, with just a little wiggle room, she could writhe and squirm like crazy. In fact she just couldn't help herself. I'm sure not all women have this talent though. I think it has to do with spine flexibility and joint rotation.

There was one whipping scene in an elite pain video which is near perfect. It was a skinny dark haired girl, arms pulled over head, legs pulled apart. She thrashed and squirmed perfectly. Do you know which scene I'm referring to?

Lyle Gorch and Buffy.

Holy Fucking Shit, Lynn. You weren't kidding. God, I fucking love the Japanese!

This really is just about the best electroshock scene I've ever watched.

I'll admit that when I clicked on the link and wasn't really super interested, and wasn't even all that attracted to the model. She's fine, just not drop dead gorgeous like I normally like to watch, but FUCK, when that first jolt hits! Man, I wish every electro shock scene was filmed like this one now! Just insert the model of your choice into the scene.

I've embeded the scene below for those that didn't click on the Lynn's link. Trust me, it's worth your time.

Howie

I found my way here following the link for WSIM database.

Regarding that Japanese electro scene, the movie it came from is historically significant on this particular forum. As many of you know, every December, both Canadian and I list our respective choices for the best and worst of each particular year. In 2012, we both picked Lady Attackers 2 as our best movie of the year, the only time we've both picked the same movie in the 9 years we've been doing this. For both of us to agree, it has to be a pretty special movie.

Here's Canadian's original review. Lady Attackers From Hell 2 The whole movie is packed with great scenes.

I've seen Lady Attackers 3 and 4; both were decent (and both had their respective electro scenes) but each one paled in comparison to this one.

That Japanese electro torture execution was well acted and one of better ones I've seen.

But again I've got to question the silly props with the lead head gear thing was stupid.

Really why can't you do a simple easily faked 120 vac hook up with a wall switch prop and do same thing with the same reaction but in a more believable way? Remember the: [www.youtube.com], scene with Mel Gibson. I'd like to see a gimp in that scene. Bill K.

Mr. 0: I've missed something so I don't know exactly what it is you would like my opinion about. Please ask...anything.

Like many mortal humans, over the years I grew to want more and more pain...more and more desperate struggling and real fear from the girls I had helpless. For me the ultimate was (is) to push her past what she thought her limits are...into a vague area where the line between "consent" and actual "force" becomes so blurred in HER mind that her fear of the next torture is very real.

Note: If her pussy is still soppy-wet or even dripping...well hell...DO IT and watch her mindless struggling AND of course her screams.

@Blakemore:

Ah, yes! Very well said! I also watched lots of GIMP movies, aside from enjoying it in general, to find those little moments where you can tell the girls were actually afraid for real. The more afraid they are, the better.

There is beauty in vulnerability, revealed only when the victim is broken and destroyed, clinging to the very last hope of safety and comfort...inside their mind.

Anyway, what I wanted to hear from you is about my latest review, Japanese Tits Nailing. I think you can still read it if you scroll below. Ralphus said it's probably more of your expertise so I'd love to hear your response. Thanks.

In 2012, we both picked Lady Attackers 2 as our best movie of the year, the only time we've both picked the same movie in the 9 years we've been doing this. For both of us to agree, it has to be a pretty special movie.

That's very true. Lady Attackers from Hell 2 [ralphus.net] should be required viewing. As Ralphus said, the electro-shock scene is just one of the highlights. The entire movie is a winner.

@Bill K-I also always thought that Lethal Weapon torture scene would be MUCH better if it was a chick. Peta Wilson did a pretty good AOH job in La Femme Nikita back in the 90s, and just now I learned that heroine peril site HeroineLegends just shot such an AOH torture scene. There won't be nudity but can't wait, since they do a pretty good job on torture scenes.

MAV: Thanks for posting that Canary still. Fantastic body on that GIMP, at least in that position and lighting.

Duillo of the day: _jm061r_duillo.jpg

Thanks to TJ for a stunning Image of the Day.

Just a day or two ago a fan/friend was asking if I had used any particular image as a basis for the lovely Erika Weiss, the beautiful, long-suffering heroine of the Jade Pavilion, Book II.
(which you can find at [www.bdsmlibrary.com])

And I said, "Not really."

But the delicious blonde in today's image is pretty much how I see Erika in my mind's eye -- young and blonde and with breasts that, despite the countless cruelties they have endured, remain forever young, forever tempting, forever vulnerable to the slings and arrows,(OK, OK, mostly lashes) of outrageous fortune.

Thanks so much for bringing my mental image to 'life.'

When you have a million choices, you make the choices you believe will work on your vision. The creation of a movie is, first of all, the product of a vision.

I'm not in the business of justifying the choices people make and I would never argue with Jac or Amy on the choices they make in their movies. If I felt that I had a better option and I was better qualified then I would make my own movie. I never second guess a director, a creator, a visionary.

However there's an audience out there, and every person has a preference, and never in a million years will every single person be absolutely happy with a particular scene, therefore I totally understand the critics of late while, a the same time, I strongly disagree.



Urvax: I finally got Dead But Dreaming and got to say I was a bit disappointed in the much touted whipping scene. I hate the cutaway to the guy counting after every stroke. I mean isn't it rule number one, keep the camera on the girl.

It is true that a lot has been said about the famous scene and the main complaint I heard after the theatrical premiere was that Jac didn't have to show the 36 lashes, that it was difficult to watch. For a regular viewer, one not graced with the inclination to savor every single lash, the scene is interminable, but that's their problem, but for their benefit, Jac edited the scene cutting away to reaction shots, to the counting of the lashes, and so on. It is, after all a mainstream movie that went to theaters and played to audiences 14 years of age and older.



Urvax: Number two on my hate to see list is a cut away to the face right after the whip. It's OK to do a time or two, but to do it after every stroke is again just wrong. The body reaction is at least as important as the face. The repetitive nature of the cutaways was just really frustrating since I just knew it was coming and it was going to ruin it.

There are a number of cutaways to the face, screaming,etc. Not all of the whipping shots cut away to the face, but a lot of them do and that's fine, there's no rule that says it shouldn't happen that way. The art of editing is in the hands of the editor who follows the intention of the director. Thus, what he or she have at their disposal are the camera shots and that's all they have. It will be the decision of the person cutting to decide which shot best conveys the intention of the scene. She or he might bitch at times because maybe one shot was ruined by a bad expression, or a bad moment in the lighting, or any of the million reasons a shot can be ruined. The idea is that the scene will play as it was intended. In Dead But Dreaming the intention is not to illustrate only the whipping but other aspects of the story itself.



Urvax: Its just bad editing. The scene could have been so much better.

As I said, Dead But Dreaming was made with a mainstream audience in mind, one that that might differ in opinion. One reviewer commented that he loved the counting, for instance, that the actor was conveying his inner struggle. After all he was counting the lashes that his comrade in arms was receiving. Perhaps those not interested in a plot at all, might find the entire movie a bit difficult to bear because there's a plot.



Urvax: Maleficarum was just a lot better edited.

Maleficarum's intended audience was not a mainstream audience, but there's a theatrical version that has more cutaways than the "director's cut" that is edited for the GIMP audience exclusively. One gimper who saw the director's cut commented that Maleficarum could've used more cutaways, in fact he found the numbers of lashes in between cutaways to be repetitive and boring. One man's perfect cup of tea is another's worst. In other words, some prefer lemon, and others prefer milk. And if life gives you lemons, you don't make a milkshake.



Urvax: Hopefully DBD2 won't make the same mistake.

DBD2 will not have a prolonged whipping like the first one. It will follow the adventures of our lovable vampires and their shenanigans as they cause kinky havoc throughout centuries. Justine, in the other hand, will have a great, prolonged, whipping scene without any consideration for a mainstream audience. The audience we have in mind for Justine is the same that loves Maleficarum.



Dr Yuya: As a supporter of the Dead But Dreaming whipping scene upon its release and early praise giver who at the time touted it as the best scene he'd ever seen...I will weigh in on it again now that the hype goggles are off. And no...sadly it's not my best anymore. I have two others...one being the Maleficarum AOH scene with Mila and the other being from a Zen movie. That doesn't mean I still don't find it FANTASTIC but yes there were a few mistakes made per my only personal handbook of what makes a scene perfect.

Again, what can be seen as a mistake is mostly creative licence, or opinion. One person's mistake is another's perfect scene. While in Dead But Dreaming the whipping scene is a step in the process of character building, in this case Moira who is going through a transformation. In Maleficarum the whipping scenes, and there are many, the tortures, the execution and so on ARE the story. That's the basic difference between Dead But Dreaming and Maleficarum. There's another film with torture galore, Le Marquis de la Croix.

Dr Yuya: To reiterate...yes I still did find it FANTASTIC. It's the first of its kind in that it was a public scene with big budget. To my knowledge no BDSM production has done that yet. And so as far as setting and scenario goes it beats anything else in my book. As for what it did wrong...my list is a little different from the previous persons but I agree with a lot of what they said. No need to show the counters face at all...though I did like the counting aspect of it...making it a more official punishment to be handed out to completion.

To also reiterate, the man who counts the lashes is a character in the movie, like most of the people who have an established presence in the plot. He's not just the "counter", he is a co-conspirator with Moira in the revolutionary plot of the rebels against the Spanish crown. He's part of the conspiracy and yet he has to fulfill his duties because he is also part of the governing elite. Thus his expressions, his struggle, his presence is part of the plot. The way the counting progresses shows the man's disturbed attitude and that is important in the plot. Most importantly, Moira never betrays him, which we intuitively think is his greatest fear.



Dr Yuya: And the edits did include many other cuts that were too frequent... though I wouldn't call them unnecessary. Shots of the crowd and Amy's reaction of course are important...but maybe just not flipping around between them as much. Most of the time in a whipping scene one should be showing the whip hitting. Its what we came for after all...no pun intended.

I still would like to read those rules that say that a whipping scene should consist exclusively of the whip hitting. There a milliard of comments in this very forum complaining about how the whipping scene in that or this movie was either too short, it didn't show anything and so on. Here we have a movie that makes a lengthy whipping scene the centerpiece of the story!



Dr Yuya: Also just my personal stuff and not really necessary probably for anyone else so this could be disregarded, but I'd love it if Vermeer/Red Feline employed the bullwhip a little more in these big budget productions. They sort of seem to always stick with the cat/multi-tailed lash for some reason.

The bullwhip is harder to handle, it's harder on the actors, we have one bullwhip that looks awesome, you can see a little of it in Training Jane, Jac might decide to use it, but that's something that Jac, Amy and Mila ... and whoever else might be at the end of the whip, will decide. We have often chosen the whip with many tails for films, and yes, it's real and made of leather, because it shows up better on camera. The bullwhip used in mainstream films is often fake, made of soft material and is thicker, so its path can be better seen by the camera.



Dr Yuya: Also...a spread eagle position rather than tied to a post is more my thing...but again probably just my thing. I hear they're doing this with the next big public scene though so maybe not. Still wish they used a different whip though.

Again, there are a million ways of doing something and because we did it one way in Dead But Dreaming, it doesn't mean we don't do it differently in other movies. We have a large variety of scenes in our movies. We can't put them all in one movie. What is important is to appreciate what is there. Am I right?

The whipping scene in Dead But Dreaming was commissioned, just like the roasting scene in Maleficarum. In each case we used the wish list of those putting the money for the scene to build the story around them. In each case Jac tried to comply with the original intent of the scene. The whipping post in Dead But Dreaming, the Roasting Pit in Maleficarum, they both are custom-made scenes.

It's not easy to produce a dangerous and visually complicated scene as those two scenes. Thus, some bits might be lost in the translation from paper to the camera, and a bit more in the editing. That's normal. In addition, one person could have a fixed image of what the scene should look like, but when the film is shot, it might not look exactly like that fixed image. Lighting may be different, the locations we find vary and have limitations. It's all about clever adaptation of an idea.



In Justine we have a commissioned scene that involves a pillory, a merciless flogging, and so on. But on top of it, we have scenes that come from the depths of Jac's imagination, using De Sade as his inspiration. A lot of people, who perhaps don't put their expectations ahead of the movie, will be extremely happy. Others might find a million faults. But that's the nature of our work. Since we don't have the shots from the movie ... yet, I'll just use an picture from the past as an example.

Quoom: Margot wrote: I think Camille was right when she told Quoom a long time ago, that Jac and he somehow have the same thoughts at the same time, like twin souls.

I agree 100%. Especially your old movies touch me more than any other movie I had ever seen. Of course those movies weren't perfect at all from technical point of view, but the mood and the acting were close to perfect for my taste. So I'm looking forward for your 'Justine' .

My dear Quoom, you know a lot about the work we did and do as we know about the work you do. As you point out, the old movies were not perfect, technically, but they were awesome, in my view. It was mostly a labor of passion and love and I believe you can see that in the work itself. Those movies are the foundation of what we do these days, without those beautiful films we would not be where we are now. We're very proud of them.

JD: Because Satanico catered to a completely different audience. That movie has a relatively wide audience target, a soft shlocksploitation for men with a fetish in nuns and gratuitous nudity. I'm sure that short torture sequence was intended to shock the 1976 audience but not too much to move the needle into a sadist movie genre and probably not for sexual titillation. The audience Tarantino would belong, for example.

I saw Satanico, and I have the feeling that if the producers had had the guts to go all the way they would've done it. But they didn't. However they went as far as they thought it was permissible. If they had done a more graphic, daring work, we would already have a Maleficarum film.



JD: Maleficarum was targeted to a much narrower audience, namely us, that's why it worked. We might not be that many as we like to believe but we like our stuff and we're ready to pay for it. Tarantino wouldn't.

Maleficarum opened theatrically with a big scandal, controversy and an attempt to censorship. It went to festivals and so on. Maleficarum had a totally unexpected road and it has a long road ahead. One where mainstream audiences have access to the film and, incredibly so, can appreciate it for other reasons than those we would expect.



JD: While I bought maybe half of the exploitation movies I've seen, I bought everything I've seen from VermeerWorks. But numerically, we are a narrow audience, let's face it. We are the people with special needs. :) My 2 centavos

Yes, the audience that followed our Red Feline productions, was tiny in comparison to any movie's audience. Really tiny. Really. And I mean tiny. That audience grew exponentially with Maleficarum and we see it growing still. With that experience in mind we're exploring all the different possibilities, like with Dead But Dreaming, a film with enough scenes to please our fan base and with a plot and scenes that might bring us to a larger audience.

We left our minimalist, no budget, no crew, extremely limited cast approach to filmmaking behind. It doesn't mean that Jac won't be making those intimate movies anymore, but not for a long while. Our current approach, big budgets, large crew and cast, elaborate locations, costumes, props, high production values, etc, although very exciting and fulfilling, is risky. But we're up to the challenge.

We have something like 8 feature mainstream films as of now with more to come this year. We hope that this trend will continue to bear fruit.

I'm sure that with each successive movie, our fans will find those specific moments they would love to see in a feature film. One way of helping us reach those goals is by buying our movies, so we can make more.

I will return with more news about our productions soon.

As this site now has improved capabilities for image posting I thought I'd drop in with a few from some mangas I've happened to catch over the years.

D.B.D. Amy's whipping event had blood, sweat and tears with beautiful sexy totally nude hot babe. What else could you want?

A little more body sweat would be ok. Fluids like snot or slobber but then I believe that's taking realism too far and makes the scene less erotic.

Bottom line it was great erotic whipping scene to me. Bill K.

After having re-watched "The Fourth Kind" again......and noticing the Ralphus-bot in the new GIMP header, just thought how cool it would be to see Amy in an Alien Abduction type movie, Except of course going further than any mainstream has gone before.

Stripped, restrained and gagged. Prodded and probed. Then tested.......to see how much pain an earthling can endure. AND.....

Geez, man! Out of dozens of great scenes on their site!! First of all, I'm not a big fan of skinny. Based on your earlier post, I assume you are talking about severely pulled up arms and spread legs. This one is more of a standing X but the girl is somewhat slim and dark haired. Maybe if you can remember any more I can narrow things down.

Ah security.

I have heretofore refrained from commenting, but must address the criticism of Vermeerworks that have recently arisen.

These films are not documents, they are fiction, but fiction can contain emotional and intellectual truth and more power than mere documentation can. Just because an actress has a BDSM lifestyle or interests in private, is not to be confused with their performance on film.

The directors of their films are involving an audience and manipulating their perceptions. Of course, this explains the montage of the flogging sequence in DBD; the observer's responses intercut with fictional flogging creates a context for the scene and gives it meaning. Simply to register a whipping is passive. One can not expect the filmmaker to just film an event. The purpose of the director, their concept, is more complex and sophisticated: to simply register an event does not convey its meaning. Avila and Hesketh express their concepts through the editing process, not through simply filming a staged event.

Further, performers are just that - performers. It is unrealistic to expect actresses to be doing anything other than acting when realizing a role.
However, when that same actress is the director, her vision speaks volumes about her, though, again, not necessarily. This is where their personal inclinations or mind sets can be legitimately perceived. But it is self- deluding to expect performers to be necessarily be realizing their own fantasies on screen, other than when they are conceiving it themselves.

A case in point: I was familiar with a BDSM performer in the Adult Industry. To see her perform, you would think she was into the Lifestyle. But she simply had a high tolerance for pain, and commercially exploited this.

Again, Vermeerworks produces works of fiction that do indeed say something about those that create it. But, to criticize them for using the tools of the filmmaker's art is fundamentally unfair, and exposes the misunderstanding of those doing the criticizing.

Today's picture: "Tape gags are so hot"
Tape gags rule but ball gags drool.
Drool is good to me because it speaks of real pain and tape gag doesn't say anything. Drool or no drool that is the question. Bill K.

Reine Margot: Thanks for reply. I understand and support wholly the push to enlarge the target audience in the latest productions, even if that bring some criticism from the hardcore fanbase of sadists (gee, this word still reeks of pejorative loadings, reminisce of the times when in popular conscience a sadist was only someone who butchered 100 virgins). As was mentioned by others, editing is the process that can make or unmake a movie, so why not make two different cuts versions? One for the more respectable mainstream audience, one for the hardened 'sick fucks' to use a syntagm popular here. That would be killing two birds with one stone.

Dungeons in Jabba's Palace.

JD: That's a sweet scene in Jabba's dungeon. Thanks!

Put me in the "sick fuck" category.
I like it real.
I will admit, fake, if done right, can be very erotic.

Duillo of the Day is _jm062r_duillo.jpg

Thanks, Covers. I was wondering that maybe because I'm at least one generation younger than the bulk of the main audience here I'm out of touch with the core interest of folks around here. 'Cuz, let's face it, when most of those MAM were published, I wasn't even born. I'm more of a kid of the 80's and 90's agressive fumettos (read full nudity) rather than the 60's damsels in distress always dressed, always covered.

In my defense in regards to the DBD whipping scene.

Yes everyone has an opinion...and absolutely yes directors and crew should never think that any one persons opinion carries greater weight than their own (unless maybe there a financial reason for it in the case of commissions but that's a whole other thing in my book).

But take a second to look at it from a different perspective that often gets overlooked in such debates. That being where would things be if opinions were never expressed in some forum or another? Considered a bit we realize we'd probably not have many things...possibly even this place.

I won't argue the merits of my comments being constructive or not because I know that hardly matters. Even though I feel they WERE constructive they surely indicated a lack of understanding or placing any value in some of Jacs/Amys intentions. So what's helpful in my mind justifiably should mean little to them. That's okay it doesn't have to mean ANYTHING to them. Just as they shouldn't be heartbroken that I find faults in the aspects of the scenes they liked I'm not bothered if my opinions are disregarded because believe it or not I do understand exactly how the game works. Heck, I'm even in line to buy the next film they make with a public whipping, whether it carries my perceived faults or not. Until I start making something myself I get that my role is to settle for what others make. I'm happy with that...just I still like to voice a harmless opinion every now and then.

That out of the way. It's pretty clear the disconnect here. Jac wanted to make DBD a movie and story first and clearly me being a whipping scene lover first hadn't come for that. I admittedly paid full price and skipped ahead to the whipping scenes...even used Camtasia to crop them out as a standalone...and that's all I've seen of it. Sort of why I haven't made a review I guess...because I already knew that I'd never watch enough of it to fairly do so.

Mr.O: Sorry for the delay in responding, but with all the things to do after a fire...and trying to take care of Danielle's masochistic needs my ass is worn out!

You review was well written and spoke to more than just the images, as I think everyone can agree that the EMOTION a helpless girl displays...especially the fear or horror of what is about to be done to her sexy body)...only enhances sexual arousal. (It sure does for me.)

Honestly, there have been many times that the WAY Danielle responds to finding herself "in over her head"...(or some other gorgeous Bitch she has lured into her (or my) trap...is almost as good as hurting her.

Whether Danielle or another "victim", she very quickly finds herself in such a surreal state of "Cognitive-Dissonance" she simply CAN NOT differentiate between the exciting lure of the IDEA of being tortured and fucked by a man...(or men)...she doesn't know and the logical and reasonable FEAR that these things really WILL be done to her.

This state of mind is...(in my personal opinion)...precisely what makes her not only LOOK so fucking-hot, but also makes her pussy dripping wet whether she consciously wants it or not...as she tries to bargain for freedom, then plead and cry until she realizes it isn't "working" and begins to squirm and struggle for her life before anything has been done to her...THIS IS DAMN NEAR AS GREAT AN APHRODISIAC FOR ME AS DOING IT!

Mr. O, Since you may not know, YES! I love skewering large, long needles through young women's breasts...but unlike the poor girl in your review, the girls I've done that to have ALL had a pair of at least Double-D breasts or bigger. I prefer those who have had their tits augmented bigger than necessary to be "in proportion" because by doing THAT, they are either consciously or unconsciously telling the world..."Look at me! Wouldn't you Bastards just love to get your hands on THESE...especially you sadists who'd just love to torture them?" *(Technically speaking, breasts augmented to "DDD"..."E" or "EE" are so huge and firm that they will swell to taut spheres 6 or 8 inches in diameter and being so...it is EASY to skewer needles through them avoiding the implants.

The psychological effect this has on a beautiful woman who is so vain she's had her breasts enlarged that big is absolutely devastating...(to say nothing of the erotic agony she feels).

I only wish my "employer" had allowed me to film how Sharon Montgomery and Ann Bruno went nearly mad with terror and struggling when I did that to them...but "Big Brother" dictated that I go no farther than using almost harmless hypo-needles. *(There is a silent film staring Ann Bruno where her gorgeous big breasts are bound with wire and small rope, almost to the bursting point. I hope those of you who have see it can picture how she struggled and went fucking crazy when we skewered two 14-inch steel needles through each one at a 45 degree angle and then ran two more though both breasts horizontally with her watching herself in a mirror.
Were I and the cinematographer "Sick-Fucks" for pushing her over the edge by jacking-off and ejaculating in her face and over her aching breasts instead of fucking her like she was begging for? Yep! (The worst torture you can inflict on a hot woman is TO NOT ALLOW HER TO ORGASM).

Okay...as usual, this is more than you may have wanted to know but who else can I tell? My neighbors and MOST of the people who really ARE good friends would have a stroke if they knew what I've done and am still doing to "pretty young things" who are vain enough and hot enough to let me get them helpless and silenced!

Hey Ralphus...come on Dude...please post one of my "re-dos" of a "MALE" or "MAN'S WORLD". (How about the ones where I substituted Danielle's face for the girl where the Nazi-Goons have stuck ice-picks into her swollen tits?)

Ya-all stay well and horny!

Loved your stuff since puberty! Used to walk to the convenience store for my mom (Red Cross nurse). Milk was 35 cents in 1965. I actually bought a MAN'S STORY MAG for 25 cents! He wouldn't let me see the Playboys however. They were way up high- behind the counter.

Anyway - Roman from Teraz Films just released "Bitch on a Burner"! I think you, Ralphus and our gang will like it!

Imitation is the best form of flattery! Jason

Regarding Vermeerworks and their depictions of whippings, brandings, roastings, etc., we need to keep in mind that these scenes are part of a larger story being told by the screenplay writer, director and actors. These are really great films for their storytelling, historical sets, costumes etc.

It sounds like some of us are interested in a more pure extended whipping scene with high productions values (my personal turn-on). Then we may need to ask Vermeerworks if a short film could be shot with Amy using a much smaller budget. I am thinking along the lines of a Red Feline Production film but with Vermeerworks production prowess, talent and technology. It wouldn't entail period costumes, big sets, etc. Maybe just a simple story like an American girl gets caught shoplifting in Bolivia and is sentenced to 50 lashes.

Maybe a group of us could pony up some $$$ and see if Jac and Amy would want to have some cash flow between the big budget films.

JD: It seems that everyone here has a slightly different take on GIMP, but don't be put off just because you don't get a response on everything you post. It's impossible to predict what will get people commenting, but I know most visitors to ANY web site are in a hurry and composing a comment is usually to just too time consuming.

If you'd like my honest feedback, I'd say that your composites are quite well done, but I think I'd prefer them as multiple separate images rather than the single image with two versions of Princess Leia (or other GIMP) you seem to prefer. It's interesting to contemplate Leia being cloned by Jabba so there are more of her to torture, but why not chain a naked Oola to the facing wall instead?

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

Margot: I've just finished watching my DVD of "Dead But Dreaming" for the first time, and I'd say that I think Amy's whipping scene was very effective as edited. The actor counting the strokes gave a very good performance showing his distress as he counts, and of course Amy does a fantastic job emoting agony and dispair.

The garroting scene, on the other hand, didn't really work for me. The actor who played the executioner gave a nice performance on the earlier whipping, but overplayed the effort he was exerting with the garrote. The torque he was expressing should have forced Amy's head against her shoulder. I was also a little put off that Amy's face didn't get red or blue, but I remind myself that she is already (SPOILER WARNING!!!) a vampire at that point.

Another issue for me was the lack of English subtitles during the scenes where the actors were speaking English. I always have TV subtitles turned on so I don't miss what is being said (except when my sweetie is watching "Dancing with the Stars", of course). The dialogue during your English language scenes was quieter than during the rest of the movie, and even with my TV sound full blast, I could not make out one line.

I also had some difficulty figuring out which dark haired lady vampire was which in the different time periods because of the different hair styles and dress. Maybe that's just a personal problem, but a distinctive beauty mark or similar device would help me keep track of who is who over the millenia.

Covers: "It's interesting to contemplate Leia being cloned by Jabba so there are more of her to torture, but why not chain a naked Oola to the facing wall instead?"

Got it. Well, my intention was to show different scenes along a timeframe ... or different angles ... most of the scene are composite images ... found it more interesting this way. Like this one that follows.

Waiting for.

Well all I have to say is that if you edited the scene for 14 year olds I rest my case. It is just not the hot whipping scene that was touted. I don't understand going to all the effort to have a public whipping scene and make a big deal out of it, and then tone it down and basically ruin it for those looking for a good gimp scene which is a larger audience than you might suppose. The frustrating thing was everything was in place for a really great scene. The repetitive and much too predictable cutaways definitely reduce the gimp value of the scene.

I really appreciate Amy's support of this site, and I bought the movie mainly to show some support. If I'm disappointed its mainly because of previous reviews discussing the gimp value of the scene and leaving aside the rest of the film. Strictly as a gimp scene, I think my comments are pretty spot on.

The DBD whipping scene: I haven't seen the film. However, I do recall in the company's Red Feline days, whipping scenes were identified as an area that needed some work.

Back then, the issue was a lack of intensity. Hopefully, this is an area where there have been improvements and will continue to be improvements. Pretty much every GIMPer I know values a good whipping scene.

JD: The "Buffy Waiting for" is exquisite. The Leia image is nice, but my eye is drawn to the top left face, which looks very mannish to me. That's too bad, because the restraint is quite interesting. Just my reaction--by all means please continue!

The trouble with Ferengi.

Blakemore’s comment on Anne Bruno is pretty hot. You can see those swollen tits in my review of Punished 2. Some HOM fans are gaga over Renee Baker, whose tits got tied up in almost everything she was in, but they are NOTHIN’ like this Anne Bruno scene.

I'm a longtime lurker and fan of the GIMP board, but I just had to come out and applaud all the recent, incredible art work and ideas--not the least of which: today's incredible electric-chair double-header image!

@Joanna: your images of the captured Star Wars rebels leave chills, as does your analysis of the infamous cloud city electroshock torture device from the "Empire Strikes Back"--agreed that it seems its chest-level electrodes might be better suited to a female subject, and you aren't the only one who's thought so. I've attached an image from La Violetta that plays it out (you can have a look at his portfolio on Deviant Art at [devilishdiversions.deviantart.com])

And, count me among your many fans who hope you won't leave us hanging with your pulp fiction cover art: enquiring minds need to see what happens after those Nazi baddies manage to drag their damsel into the torture chair and affix the electrodes!

@ JD: LOVE your recent artwork and concepts. I don't believe I've seen anything hotter than Princess Leia riding a decidedly Kay Milton-esque electroshock apparatus . . . well, EVER.

Thanks again for some outrageously fantastic GIMPing

Thanks, Mira.

Next, trivia question. Where's this fresh made composition inspired from?

JD, I say my best guess is Star Gate's Samantha Carter the most over looked sexy Gimp. Bill K.

JD: thanks for the Samantha Carter in GIMP work! I've tried a number of times on bondage fake sites to get some of the artists there to do her, but have come up short. Thanks very much! You're filling a needed void. More, please!

Ralphus in Today's picture her facial cheek muscles look like she smiling to me. Both sides of her nose, the face muscles are curled up and look like that only when someone is smiling. Sorry I think she's faking it. They should hook her up to 110 V ac. Bill K.

NID operatives need informations.

Interesting bondage photo isn't it?

JD: Thanks for the Ferengi pic. Dr Crusher is one of my favorite MILFs. I never watched Stargate, but I do appreciate the sweaty sheen on Samantha Carter.

Duillo of the day: _jm083r_duillo.jpg

Here's an amazing and intense scene from Brigade des Moeurs (1985) curtesy of [www.cutscenes.net], which has really been killing it in terms of delivering the goods. I don't speak French so I can't understand what is being said exactly but it's clear the man wants information and he's willing to do horrific things to a woman with a broken bottle to get it. It's an incredible interrogation scene that could only have been better if she chose to defiantly withstand the torture IMO. I eventually found a copy of the film and there's another torture scene that occurs near the end involving acid that I think is also worthwhile.

JD: I'm a huge fan of your collages. The Princess Leia ones were a godsend since it's always been a fantasy of mine to imagine what kind of tortures she went through to be broken into Jaba's slave. Your latest collage about NID Operatives really hit the spot too since I'm mainly interested in interrogation scenarios, particularly those involving electrocution. Could I ask what video you took the stills from for that one? I'm dying to see it in motion.

Dr. Yuya: Thanks so much for sharing the Fairy Tale torture scene. It's pretty much perfection as far as I'm concerned. I can only hope the anime series catches up to the manga so we can see it in motion.

Mira: Thanks for posting that image by La Violetta. I agree with you and Joanna, that the torture device in "Empire Strikes Back" is perfectly suited for GIMP-torture. I can't recall specifically having fantasized about Princess Leia getting a taste of that back in my childhood. But I think I must have. When it comes to GIMP-torture, I do enjoy scenes with whips, truncheons, portable electric devices, etc. things which makes the sadist interact physically with the victim. But I do have a profound fondness for automated torture-machines. There is something even more...merciless about letting a machine do the torturing.

GIMP and huge torture-machines might go back to this comic-page I read when I was, what, 8 or 9 years old:



The thrill seeing the naked girl about to be mercilessly crushed by that infernal torture-device was immense.

Another thing that shaped my taste in GIMP-fantasies was the movie "Gwendoline". Or to be more precise: an article in a movie-magazine about the movie. I was just 13 years old when that movie came out and not allowed to see it in the theaters (and my parents had no VCR, damn). The article exaggerated the torture-scenes, letting me believe that Gwendoline and her friends, once fallen into the clutches of the sadistic jungle-queen would endure countless tortures. In fact, the article stated that they would "have to endure more and more insidious tortures and would become completely defenseless victims of a gigantic machinery of torment". That is loosely translated from the German article. That, and the stills from the movie, really excited me.







With 13 years, Tawny Kitaen looked incredibly beautiful to me and I could not believe that somehow, someday, I would get to see a movie where this babe would be mercilessly tortured in a gigantic machinery of torment for the amusement of a sadistic, evil jungle-queen. Oh man. The two pre-production drawings below did not help cool me down. I couldn't believe what I saw in that article. Please excuse the poor quality, but I can't do scans.





Naked girls strapped down on big torture-machines that, in my mind, must be meant to specifically torture their pussies. Not put the cornerstones of my favorite fantasies all in place. A villain with considerable power (queen, king, drug-lord, etc.) and a GIMP squirming on or under some huge, massive torture-device inflicting pain on her sex or breasts to make her talk or, even better, just because he thinks it's fun.

When I saw the movie, years later, it could not live up to the excitement I felt when reading that article as a kid, nor compete with the fantasies it had caused. Still a nice movie, though.

A few years ago, I found and bought the movie-magazine with that article on eBay. Nice to have that one again for nostalgic reasons. And I still feel a little bit like the kid back then, when I browse through the pages and remember that...primal excitement back then.

My little contribution to the topic 'electro-torture'. I couldn't decide which of those picture i should send you, so you get all three.

...two

.. and three. Usually i find it rather difficult to give an electro-scene the needed dynamic (whipping is much easier in this point)... but i think those pictures are showing the point

Excellent site. I must confess to having lurked here for ages, but now that it's easier to post I intend to comment when I can. Keep up the good work.

JD: I'm very impressed with the assorted extracts that your uploading to Cutscenes, especially those from the Inquisitor PC game (medieval witchhunting being a favourite topic of mine). Such a pity that Cutscenes don't make facilities for downloading clips.

This is how we like to make Annete sweat.

TRG: THANK YOU for the stills of Ann Bruno! She really was one of the hottest girls to submit to "working" for me and one of the strangest girls I've ever known. By that I mean she wasn't lacking in self-esteem by any means...(quite the opposite in fact)...as many if not all truly masochistic girls, so I could never quite get a handle on WHY it was so easy to push her way beyond what H.O.M. would have permitted as well as Cal-Star. Ann was one of those who gradually went "into herself" deeper and deeper as long as we didn't interfere by interrupting that indefinable mental process she was going through by releasing her during re-loading or setting-up her next scene. In fact, it was an incredible turn-on to work with her because during those moments between shots or takes...I and my cameraman did mean things to her as I told her what I was going to do to her next just because she was such a hot little Slut.

It wasn't all fun and games because I got a SERIOUS ass-chewing for sending the Boss a film we shot SHOWING Ann helplessly reacting to having 6 big needles skewered through each bound breast...AND...one through each side of her pussy. I was told to NEVER send another film like that but to save THAT stuff for the European market. It killed me that I was never able to get Ann for one of those because fucking her was one of her requirements!

Catching up on a few posts (which is hard since they're coming fast and furious)...

Looks very similar to Roman's Fantom Intruder 2, which I reviewed here a while back. So I skimmed through the Teraz's catalog and there's quite a bit of interesting stuff there. If Roman would stop by and promote his stuff, I'll bet he could get a lot more sales. Did anybody see this one?

BITCH IN PIECES

Dynamite up the snatch, big fantasy for me. Of course, Teraz has that dreamlike, non-realistic style that kind of annoys me, but you have to admit, no one makes movies like Teraz. They have their own distinctive look, to be sure.

And Howie, what about all those Teraz vids you were gonna review for us? At least tell us what you liked.

That's some early Insex, with the very cute Trinity as the victim. I totally missed this one back when I was a member, which is a shame since she also was in a couple of my favorite videos for Dan Hawke, too.

Anyway, there's more to this shoot, as evidenced in this pic:



I would love to see what else happened in this one.

It would have been really helpful, as long as you were linking to CutScenes, to link to the actual video. I couldn't find it, even after doing a search. It does sound like a real intriguing movie, one I've never even heard of.

I never thought it was hard to post here before, but at least you're out now and we're glad you made the move. Terrific BATS artwork, too. I love the big smiles from the guys in the crowd, as the flames from the fire are burning the naked bitch bound to the stake. Hey, they know good entertainment when they see it!

Titlash: Hey Man, you were lucky to be able to BUY a "Man's" magazine because 10 plus years earlier there was no Playboy and the good-stuff...the "Men's Magazines", were the ones up high on the rack and under the ever watchful eye of the (usually) scratchy ole Pharmacists who guarded them with his fucking life!
I had to steal'em...(with the help of my understanding mother or my sister distracting the "Guard")...because everything within me HAD TO HAVE THEM.

Hell, it was like my very life depended on being able to trace them, improve the girls bodies...make them naked and add spike heels plus more extreme tortures in the process of re-illustrating them. Not only did my finished work make my cock screaming hard...as mentioned some time back, they made the pussy of my gorgeous sister who was only a year older, so hot it literally dripped when she stood on her tiptoes with her legs spread!

Those illustrations along with Gil Elvgren's fantastic "Pin-Up" art formed the foundation of my life's pursuit of tormenting bound and gagged girls and is more than anything else, responsible for what I was able to produce visually during the 70's and 80's. I can tell one and all, that Pin-Up illustrations proved my mother's opinion that "girls should ALWAYS have their toes pointed...not mater WHAT!"...and that was (is) why to this day I can't stand looking a photo or film or a GIMP standing flat-footed!

Thanks for implying your age...good to know I ain't the only one!

Quoom: What can I say? Those three pictures are incredibly wonderful! Are you sure you didn't create them BECAUSE you have seen THAT being done to a girl for real? *(Because I HAVE and you nailed it in damn near every little detail!) You're really good Dude!

Hi, does anybody have the Latin TV cop-series named Ramirez, starring Gianella Neyra?
Or at least the 13th episode.:)

Thank you!

Ralphus: The link you were looking for:



Capt: I can send the clips to you, there are a bit more actually, some involving males but I still believe the best way is to play the game, solve mysteries, decide who's gonna go next in the dungeon, etc, etc. Very rewarding. There is also an iron maiden option toward the end of the game.

I am quite sure she isn't faking it. Electro tortures used to be real at ElitePain. (Though not 110V).

But I see your point, and believe it or not last week when we were discussing with Max Lomp about the casting for our next History of Pain episode , I told him that one of my two problems with this model was that she seems to smile when she feels pain. I don't mean she smiles, I mean her pain reactions are confusing a little.

Grand Moff Tarkin and a stubborn Princess.

Lynn - excellent find! I normally don't go for electro stuff, nor Asian women, but the emotive aspect of this scene overrides both of those. I just wish the evil guy (who reminds me a bit of George Takei) hadn't gone to max power so soon. He should've kept her bouncing in that chair a bit longer. I'm embedding it here so people know what I'm talking about and can form their own opinions.





Pedro - I like Natalie's facial muscles just they way they are, but if you want to change something, maybe instead of wincing, she should grunt and/or gasp so that her mouth forms more of an "O" shape rather than a "V" shape. She has a lovely body and face. It'd be a shame to cover either of them, unless of course you want to use a gag.

I was thinking today about "Milgram Experiment". When the GIMP Forum Awards are announced, that film should definitely get an award for Best Whipping, and probably for Best Movie, too. It's just so twisted on so many levels. There's a layer there that most other films can't capture, and that's the reality of human psychology in a civilized society. It gives two very good examples of man's inhumanity to man, which I was thinking about this morning while reading "Let's Go Play at the Adams'" (a good horror story wrapped around a statement of society in the 70's).

Sometimes I wish some of those Japanese films would get re-shot with an Anglo cast, just so we wouldn't get the pixilated pussies. The scenes are hot!

Oh, and Hellcat, thanks for posting up those two HOM electro-torture pictures. Do you know the name of the movie, or the actress that's in it?

Thomas Chaser: Milgram Experiment is the practical field test for the main concept in The Banality of Evil of Hannah Arendt.

Lord of the Flies with Nazis.

@ Quoom - Thanks for the Pic share. Awesome as always. Glad you've decided to stick around.

@ Ralphus - Ya, I'll get around to reviewing them eventually. Just haven't had that much free time lately.

=====

Thought this Elctro scene is pretty fucking great as well, since that seems to be the current point of topic.

That electro-torture in today's ElitePain's picture: I'm just not getting it . No way a gimp acting like she is truly being shocked and the body language says no sweat or tears or fear equals no real pain.

Electricity cannot conduct through dry skin unless it's high voltage like 110 v ac and she is being shocked by what looks like an Ohm meter.

I know I'm being too analytical but come on guys, the props are lame and she's got her eyes closed.

Now I can be wrong and I'm not seeing it right for maybe I've got to see the movie clip for it to make sense. Bill K.

Bill K: If you think electricity can't conduct through dry skin, you're just flat out wrong. I've used electricity on a woman (a battery-operated muscle stimulator) and trust me, it is definitely capable of producing severe pain. Yeah, it helps increase the pain if you wet the skin first, but it's not required. I believe Pedro when he says they don't fake it at ElitePain. And her eyes are shut because she's grimacing from the discomfort of the current.

As a big Teraz fan and someone who has seen most of Roman Nowicki's work, I suppose I can step up to the plate and offer my arguably biased assessment. This is my first review in donkey's years, so please pardon the rust.

Bitch on a Burner

Directed by Roman Nowicki, © 2014, 00:12:23


Bitch on a Burner (BoaB) is a relatively short Teraz production which is unlike the company's usual fare. GIMPers who don't care for Roman's familiar trademarks – atmospheric lighting, stilted East European accents and hallucinatory ambience, among others – will be pleased to know there is none of that here. In fact, this quaint little video is a remarkably accurate reproduction of an HOM silent loop, like those we old-timers remember fondly from the 1970's and 80's. If nothing else, Roman knows that the devil is in the details, and to my mind he has done an incredible job of creating a film that Mr. Blakemore himself might mistake for one of his own.

It's all there. The flatly lit, barren basement set. The balaclava-wearing villain. The slightly sped-up frame rate to simulate projection of an 8mm loop. The martini lounge soundtrack with the muted horns and off-kilter beat (which first showed up on the analog VHS transfers). There's even the intro music from the European market Gold Medal films, in case you had any doubt that these references were intentional. Best of all, the GIMP in this film is a sumptuous, busty babe who would be at home suffering under the worst that Blakemore could throw at her. Roman does his best to emulate the master, and as far as I'm concerned, he succeeds admirably.

BoaB is what the director cleverly dubs an HOMage. Which makes me wonder if this whole project was the result of a bad pun.

Let's face it, no one ever bought an HOM loop because of the plot. Anyone hoping to find any rationale for what happens in BoaB will be disappointed. With no explanation, all twelve and a half minutes depict some vaguely menacing dude tormenting a naked girl for whatever reason he sees fit. If reasons are important to you, make up your own. It's basically a silent film set to a cool groove, so you can imagine whatever scenario you like and just sit back to enjoy the view.

As you can tell from the intro image above, the view is pretty damn good. Immediately living up to its title, the film opens with a bitch (portrayed by the ravishing Ally Angel) on a burner – well, more of a wood stove actually, but does it really matter? She's tied AOH and FTS (feet-to-stove) and sports one of those nifty Jennings gags (or whatever-the-hell they're called) that allows for safe and easy oral access but won't do much to keep her quiet – which hardly matters since, I remind you again, this is a silent film. Next to our hapless heroine is a broom, a stool and a roll of duct tape, none of which serve any purpose whatsoever throughout the duration of the video.

Ally is knocked out and blissfully unaware of her predicament. At least until balaclava-wearing-guy (BWG) shows up, rudely revives her, and proceeds to lecture her on the consequences of not flossing properly. Like I said, you can insert your own storyline wherever you wish.


Ally responds like any woman would… by wildly shaking her tits from side to side. I'm not sure where I first saw this sophisticated self-defence method for females, but I'm pretty sure it was demonstrated in an HOM loop from long ago.


Unfortunately, the bobbing boob maneuver does not impress Ally's captor. A look of genuine concern crosses her face and she emits a cascade of drool which could float Noah's ark.


The saliva tsunami also coats the front of her body, which makes for some provocative glistening-flesh close-ups – at least for those of us who like that sort of thing. Hey, I'm not proud… I'd lick her clean.


Then the real fun starts. First up is the ever-reliable cat, though in this case BWG has chosen one of those BDSM bargain store numbers which wouldn't hurt a hamster – a bit of a disappointment from the producer of the brutal Mark of the Whip series. Still, BWG doesn't hold back, and Ally sells the scene. Once again… there's no sound, so you can slap wooden blocks together if you want to add emphasis.


After a few minutes of the lash, BWG ups the ante by producing one of the largest rubber dongs manufactured in China. He lovingly rubs it over his victim and then uses it to smack his bitch up. If Ally thought she was getting off easy with the tickle whip, I'm sure she wasn't laughing when this beastie was smashing against her torso.




Of course, even BWG knows the real purpose of a dildo, so true to form, he puts his dong where dongs belong. To Ally's credit, she takes this monster inside her. All. Of. It. You surely didn't see that in a 1970's GIMP loop. Even ZFX simulated this sort of thing. Very impressive.


To mix things up a bit, and to show off his exceptional ambidextrous skills, BWG once again grabs the whip and demonstrates the rarely seen lash-and-gash routine.


And then, just as you think things can't get any worse for poor Ally – holy crap, he's got a gun!


Calm down. That rascal BWG is just teasing. No, he doesn't shoot his bitch. He just wants to have a bit of fun by doing this…


And some of this...


But wait, there's more! The broom? The stool? The ginzu knives? No. It's a candle. First it's used to warm up Ally's freezing labia…


And when that doesn't generate enough heat, it's thrown into the wood stove burner to get a nice, cheerful fire going between our heroine's splayed nether regions. If you were wondering why Ally was sitting on that antique furnace all this time, wonder no more.




As for the ending, I wouldn't want to spoil it. Suffice it to say that BWG probably won't be going out to grab a smoked fish appetizer at the local Red Lobster. Then again, maybe that's exactly where he would be heading. Sadly, Ally probably won't be joining him.

As much as I like the Teraz style (and yes, I realize others' mileage may vary), not everything Roman releases suits my tastes. That said, I genuinely enjoyed Bitch on a Burner on several levels. As an HOMage, it was a great nostalgia trip. As a GIMP film, it delivered the goods. And as a novel concept in a world of repetitive fetish clips, it was a delightful breath of fresh air. For $7.95, this clip is the bargain of the year. So buy it. Yes... you. You know you want it. Go here and get it now. What are you waiting for?

Still, I'm notoriously hard to please… so I'll give it an A-.

So many great posts and so little time to respond. Thanks, everyone!

Thanks JD. Is the game also available for Mac users? Everything I've read about it so far seems to point towards PCs only. Certainly sounds like fun.

Thanks Ralphus. Yes, I agree. The spectators smiles suggest that they're getting pretty 'hot' under the collar themselves at such a wonderful sight. Great piece of artwork.

Blakemore: If you wouldn’t mind, I would like to know how you initially came across these models who worked for you. This is a lot, so please feel free to respond as you choose. There's no need to answer all this at at once.

OK Ralphus, my knowledge of electro shocking is weak so Ralphus rules, Bill drools and you win, but I still say no sweat, tears or fear equals no real freaking out pain. It's too clean and doesn't look merciless to me.

"Bitch on a Burner," now that's what I call merciless. I've got to get that. The smell of cooking sweaty hot pussy, what's not to like? Bill K.

Here's another cover from the golden age of men's magazines. The story which goes with the cover illo could not be published today. It's not politically correct, as they say in the states.

Well, boys and girls, today's word is Autassassinophilia.

It is described in Wikipedia as a condition in which "a person is sexually aroused by the risk of being killed."

The illustration below, which is from a 1957 edition of Gang Girl accompanies the article.



The article further describes erotophonophilia as the "reciprocal condition" in which one is aroused by "stage-managing and carrying out the murder of an unsuspecting sexual partner".

Wow. I woulda jus' called it terminal GIMPage.

Fritz: Terrific work on the review of Bitch on a Burner. Your expertise on all things Teraz really added to the review, and those caps are great.

I get what Teraz was trying to do with the scratchy HOMage thing, but ... no sound other than the music?

That may have worked for the trench coat crowd back in the day but I like to hear things like the crack of the whip and the cries of pain. The absence of proper audio causes me to think twice about this one.

Lynn - excellent find!

Ok, this is actually getting annoying.

The GIMP world has not suddenly discovered Lady Attackers from Hell 2. I reviewed it back in 2012 and -- as previously noted -- both Ralphus and I picked it as the best film of that year.

Capt: I don't believe they have a Mac version. I played mine on a PC (they are not very demaning, a really cheap old Pentium I or II will probably run it. The kind of hardware you find on the side of the street.

Stretching a point.

TRG: I look forward to answering your questions as to how I met "my girls" tomorrow.

For everyone: Here is a shot for "Covers" I did back sometime...enjoy.

Fritz: Wow, when I mentioned Bitch on a Burner last night, I never expected a full review, and especially not one quite so quickly. It was extremely entertaining to read, and the vidcaps are great. And most importantly, you brought up something in your review that could easily be overlooked on the Teraz website, and I'm very glad you did.

Okay, if I read this right, Roman's intention was to make an "HOMage", which was to make a film in the same way Blakemore did for HOM back in the 1970s. On the surface, that's a great idea. Except...well, maybe he just doesn't "get" the reason why the Blakemore loops are so beloved today.

They stand out even now because they were well-paced, with little wasted footage for "storylines" or "plot". The women were often quite attractive and they were bound in cruel, tight sexually explicit bondage positions. The loops were rough, non-consensual little shows that had a gritty, "underground" feel to them.

The one negative aspect to those loops? They were made before the advent of sound. Back then, this was all we had, but they were always missing the all-important screams of the victim and the threatening of the bad guy.

In other words, they weren't good because they had no sound, they were good in spite of the fact that there was no sound!

It's no surprise that after Blakemore made Bittersweet Revenge, the first full-length, sync sound movie, he never went back to making silent loops. I mean, why would he? In fact, why would anyone deliberately ignore today's modern advances and make a movie with no sound?

Which makes me question why Roman would intentionally make a film with only cheesy music, especially one with a potentially killer plot like the one you just reviewed. Why would he deliberately deprive us of hearing the girl's reactions and lessen his picture?

To be sure, it's a curious decision on his part to go without sound. It wouldn't have been mine.

Anyway, again thank you for your review. Here's your direct link: http://ralphus.net/reviews/teraz/bitchonaburner.htm

Blakemore: congratulations on making all of my MAM covers look mild. Ouch!

Hey, that's what I've got. And that's probably where it will soon end up, too...on the side of the street.

While I'm thinking of Lady Attackers from Hell 2 and its star, Yu Kawakami, it's worth mentioning that Yu is the star of the upcoming film, Slave Island Season 3, Chapter 2.

The movie will be released in May. It looks like it could be a good one.

@ Fritz - Excellent review! I chuckled a few times. Like this line: (BWG) shows up, rudely revives her, and proceeds to lecture her on the consequences of not flossing properly. Ha!

I too have seen pretty much everything Roman has released, and while the screen caps are delectable, I'm pretty sure that seeing them is enough for me in this case. The no sound thing, as others have mentioned while well intentioned, would probably annoy me.

@ Canadian - Ya, I congratulated Lynn on finding that clip as well, but that's because the reviews you and Ralphus put up for it happened during one of my phases where I wasn't visiting the site as much, and I RARELY visit the archives to catch up. I thought it was kind of weird that Thomas re-posted the clip when Lynn had linked to it, and I had already embeded it in my post only a few before his, but whatever.

@ Blakemore - Wow, I've heard you elude to your artwork before, but don't believe I've actually seen any till now. That's OUT-FUCKING-STANDING! Really man, I hope you post more of it, because that pic is amazing. Also, how do you feel about homages to your HOM loops like Fritz just reviewed below? Flattered? Annoyed? What's your take on them?

Howie

@Mira I like the straps in that picture better than the cross straps on the chest in the film, it keeps the body firmly in place, but leaves the chest completely exposed to the electric prongs.

I wasn't really planning to make a series out of that Nazi interrogation picture, but I'll try and find some time to make one or two more images.

@ petelobo Number 2 is me being shocked again!

JD: Like the recent Amanda Tapping/Sam Carter fake-those NID thugs would've done just that. Seeing her in more GIMP-style settings during the show would've been great. Please...more! Also, if you have any BSG-themed (classic with Anne Lockhart or Ron Moore with Katee Sackhoff) in the works, all power to you!

Picked up a few Teraz clips yesterday after reading the BoB review from Fritz, and they reminded me why I often prefer the caps to the vids. Fairly rarely do the vids deliver "in real life", but you can nearly always cap something good from them. Those of you who missed the "crack of the whip and screams of pain" are assuming that the little flogger used would crack (doubtful) and that the model would be good enough an actress to scream realistically. How many times have you seen an actress in a whipping vid give it the old "Ow...Ooh...Ow...Ooh." for five minutes. Not a lot different from the girls in porn flicks with repetitive and boring vocal responses.

Another issue for me with most of Roman's stuff is that there appears to be a silicone mine somewhere in eastern Europe, so rarely do his models have anything like real breasts. Whipping these mounds is much less satisfying than watching a real breast compress and dance after a strike. OK, I get it that the style today is shaved to the bone, but I really do miss those bushes.

I also got Brutal Treatment of a Female Captive and Tortured Twins. The latter is mind-blowing in its lack of continuity. The model is whipped with one of those "paint-brush" floggers that leaves reddish stripes on her, but as the film progresses she goes in one scene to looking like someone ran a roller of red paint over her front to being barely marked in the next. Back and forth they go.

The Teraz films are certainly cap-able, as Fritz showed, but comparing them with good Elite Pain or even PainToy or Paingate efforts, they're not in the A league for my tastes.

BTW, I went back through previous posts trying to find the material on Anne Bruno, who I would have married in a heartbeat if ever I could have found her back in the day, that were mentioned in a post as having been sent by Blakemore. I've scoured the net for pics of her, and those sound like winners (like the artwork posted yesterday or today.) Anyone have them to pass along or post?

Today's MAM cover is from Battle Cry Apr 1964 V7 #3

Duillo of the day:

I thought I would jump in here to correct a few misconceptions. The "Bitch on a Burner" HOMage was actually shot with sound and will, at sometime in the future, be released with complete audio. Customers who purchase the "Homage Version" will be able to upgrade very cheaply to the full sound version when it is released, by using the code at the end of the film. "Bitch on a Burner" starring the very watchable Ally Angel, is ALSO the Teraz Club "Download of the month" for March. As we were running late, the version was released as a version with a typical H.O.M. soundtrack. Editing the actual sound would have taken another 2-3 days.
BTW: If you are a Teraz Club Member you can download and view the film until the end of April.

"Bitch on a Burner" was not actually shot with the intention of making a "Homage"(TM) though who can say what references may come forward from the dark recesses of the mind whilst in the creation process. However, maybe because of the setting, the masked assailant or just Ally's acting, the style and content easily lead itself to to becoming an HOMage and the music fitted in perfectly.

By the way, Ralphus, I don't have to "get" any reason why HOM films are so liked, as if I am not part of a certain knowledgeable clique. In the 80s I purchased original PAL VHS HOM titles such as Gold Medal's "Erotic Perversions" ($66) and know what I like. The reason I created an HOMage is because I like HOM films. No other reason. There is nothing for me to "get".

As for you saying that folks appreciate HOM films because "...they were well-paced, with little wasted footage for "storylines" or "plot"." I must say that I am constantly being asked to release more feature length titles as Teraz Films are known for. If I had $1 for every email asking when "Lena & The Time Machine" will be out (still no date)

As for the HOM music. I, myself, never found the music soundtracks a negative aspect. I thought the music was pretty cool and all part of the experience, and for more in fitting with the ambiance than the soundtracks Alpha Blue Videos use for their silent roughies, for instance.

And using Klause Schultze's "Frank Herbert" and "Freidrich Nietzsche "in "Erotic Perversions" was a master stroke - whoever that idea came from (maybe Mr Blakemore could tell us).

I am OK with and much used to criticism but it appears that Ralphus is judging "Bitch on a Burner" based on what he thinks it will be like, where as the reviewer, Fritz, actually has seen the film and gives it a very favourable "A-".

And finally I gotta say, $7.95 for almost 13 mins is pretty good price when most short films are priced around $1+ a minute - and don't come close to the content of "Bitch on a Burner" (gun jabbing privates, dildo abuse, flogging, dental gag, candle, bondage, wood burner and the very sexy UN-tattooed Ally Angel).

TEASER [www.terazfilms.com]

Thomas Chaser: These two pictures were all I ever saw of this series. Looks like a Blakemore girl though. Her figure reminds me of this one.

FTR, after BSR, Whitman, I mean Blakemore, did produce no sound shorts.

B, again.

A Canadian - my apologies. I'd forgotten you'd written a very good review of this piece. I'd dismissed it from my "list of titles to get" because I normally don't go for Oriental women, but I thought that electro scene was very well done, even with the pixilated pussy. I have to give Yu credit for putting forth the effort to make the scene work. If only there were more of her on this side of the world, with a bigger budget. In fact, in terms of bondage creativity, I think the Japanese put out some of the funniest/kinkiest stuff that definitely resonates with viewers. As an example, I'm re-posting this image that someone had posted here last year.

Roman Nowicki: Great to see you back here. I know you have reservations about advertising your wares here because you think we're not necessarily your audience here, but a number of us are quite interested in your work...if we only knew what was coming out. I know I've gotten quite a few Teraz films in the past, and I was one of the first people online to praise Fantom Kiler 2. You guys even put part of my review in your advertising materials.

You wrote:

Well, that is great news. I'm a fan of any kind of burning torture, so this is definitely one I was interested in. I just wasn't happy with the "no sound" concept.


"Bitch on a Burner"... is ALSO the Teraz Club "Download of the month" for March. As we were running late, the version was released as a version with a typical H.O.M. soundtrack. Editing the actual sound would have taken another 2-3 days.

Oh, I see. So the movie wasn't finished yet, so rather than complete it a few days late, you put a music track over top of the visuals and released it that way. That does explain that part, at least.


By the way, Ralphus, I don't have to "get" any reason why HOM films are so liked, as if I am not part of a certain knowledgeable clique. In the 80s I purchased original PAL VHS HOM titles such as Gold Medal's "Erotic Perversions" ($66) and know what I like. The reason I created an HOMage is because I like HOM films. No other reason. There is nothing for me to "get".

Apologies if you were offended by my questioning your choice to release a movie with no sound. It was puzzling to me, and to be fair, I wasn't the only one here who couldn't quite grasp why you were doing it.

BTW, Erotic Perversions was great! Those were Blakemore's favorites of his own work, too, because it was the first time he was allowed to shoot what he really wanted, since he wasn't restricted by the political climate of the United States. Since these were meant to be seen overseas, they went a lot further than his HOM stuff.


As for the HOM music. I, myself, never found the music soundtracks a negative aspect.

Boy, I sure did. Granted, some of the music choices worked better with the visuals than others, but dubbed-in music is always going to be a poor second to actual live sound. The HOM films are what they are, they are silent films, which is all he could make in that era. But if Blakemore had a choice, I guarantee he would have preferred to make them with real audio.


I am OK with and much used to criticism but it appears that Ralphus is judging "Bitch on a Burner" based on what he thinks it will be like, where as the reviewer, Fritz, actually has seen the film and gives it a very favourable "A-".

You're absolutely right. Fritz e-mailed me and said it really does work, even though he thought it would bother him that it was silent. Fritz is my friend and I respect his opinions. And I do want to see the movie...but honestly, I'd rather see the film as it was intended to be seen, so I'll wait until the sound version is out. Please let us know when it's released.


And finally I gotta say, $7.95 for almost 13 mins is pretty good price when most short films are priced around $1+ a minute - and don't come close to the content of "Bitch on a Burner" (gun jabbing privates, dildo abuse, flogging, dental gag, candle, bondage, wood burner and the very sexy UN-tattooed Ally Angel).

That is a good price, and discounts are always appreciated, thank you.

Here's another vidcap from the clip. Its video #385. From what I can gather, the woman is a "volunteer" being used as a living anatomy model so that nerdy male med students can develop a familiarity with female anatomy. There's no bondage, but there is a humiliation aspect to it. The panties do come off at the end, but that's where the clip ends, too. Hopefully somebody will recognize it and tell me where I can find the whole thing.

I'm not sure I understand this. As the caps are taken directly from the source, the only way they can make the video seem better than it is is if people viewing them are extrapolating the stills into a movie different than the “real life” version they ultimately watch. That processing occurs in the mind of the viewer, and I'm guessing the interpretation would vary tremendously from one individual to the next.

In any case, it was never my intent to mislead GIMPers by selecting caps which would make Bitch on a Burner appear better than it is in “real life”. I chose them to illustrate the text – as well as to give folks a general impression of the visuals. Neither was the overall review meant to embellish the film. I'm not shilling for Roman nor overtly promoting his wares – I'm simply trying to relate my impression of the video, an impression which I admit was quite positive. In doing so, I believe I gave the reasons for my rating and acknowledged what I felt were the film's faults as well. I even disclosed my potential bias for Teraz products in general.

If all that led you to purchase several Teraz films in hopes that they were something other than they turned out to be, my apologies. Would it have been better if I had not included the caps in the review? I thought most people find them helpful – I know I do.

As for how Teraz videos stack up to those from Elite Pain – that's an apples to oranges comparison if ever there was one. Your points are valid, but most are based on subjective preferences, not on the objective merits of the producers' output. In short, I likely enjoy Teraz videos for many of the reasons you don't; and vice versa when it comes to Elite Pain.

Both are very competent companies, but they produce different films for two distinct markets. The Elite Pain audience prefers RL gimpage and wounds, natural actresses, action over story, limited focus on style and settings, and so on. Teraz caters to those who prefer simulated and often more extreme perils, glammed up and enhanced heroines, as well as plots, elaborate sets and lots of atmosphere. That may be a bit of a simplification, and I realize there are exceptions on both sides, but even those GIMPers who buy from both companies will likely admit to preferring one over the other if pressed.

BTW, I too was disappointed by the continuity problems in Tortured Twins, but such flaws are actually less common in Teraz videos than in those by other producers. I could just as easily point to the significant price difference between the offerings of these two vendors to justify Teraz has the advantage, but we all know more than just cost will determine where we shop. Spurious factors both.

Which brings me back to the purpose of my review… to help readers make an informed decision. As it seems I somehow led you to purchase not only BoaB but other titles, from a vendor you suspected might disappoint you, I obviously failed – though I'm still a bit mystified how that happened.

*  *  *  *  *

As for the no-sound issue, I'm glad that's been (more or less) resolved thanks to Roman's post and Ralphus' response. I was aware there eventually would be a sound version released when I posted the review, but I also realized Roman did not want that known at the time. Though that cat is now out of the bag, I still believe that the silent version – the HOMage – has an enjoyment factor that will be missing from the sound release.

To be honest, I did not think I would like the silent version myself, but as sometimes happens, I was pleasantly surprised. I also believe others, and I would include Ralphus among them, would react in the same way. $7.95 (minus 10%) isn't much of a risk if you think you might be in that group.

Finally, despite writing what I thought was a positive assessment, I seem to have trampled every last dish in the china shop. I've probably hindered Teraz sales. I've convinced petelobo to buy videos he doesn't like. I've led Ralphus and A Canadian to believe a BoaB feature is a drawback. And I've likely left everyone else confused as to whether to buy this video in either of its renditions. Clearly, review writing is not one of my strengths, so I will retire from it once again and leave this job to the professionals. It's not as easy as it looks.

Well, that's just crazy talk. You're one of the best reviewers we have here, and your review accomplished exactly what you set out to do...to help readers make an informed decision. You gave us important details about the movie, along with your opinion that it was a worthwhile purchase. It's the information that's important. Even a negative review...which yours clearly wasn't...can be helpful because it lets people know what the movie's about.

Canadian, Howie and I made up our own minds regarding the lack of an audio soundtrack. You definitely didn't hinder Teraz's sales...you inspired at least one person to check out their site and buy some videos. If anything, it was Roman himself who delayed...not hindered...his own sale of this particular video by announcing that a sound version will eventually be released. I was hesitant to buy it because of the music before but I'm definitely going to get the version with sound now. Probably a lot of others will, too.

Not to mention you inspired conversation about Teraz and inspired the owner to stop by and post. How often does Nowicki post here? Not nearly enough. Even if it was just to express his displeasure with my comments, I'm glad he came by. So all in all, I'd say your review was quite successful.

Fritz wrote:

I disagree. I thought it was an excellent review.

Tastes will always vary and there's nothing wrong with that. For example, I have reviewed films that are more lightweight than what some GIMPers like and that is sometimes clear in the feedback. But I don't get discouraged. I know there are a wide range of interests in the GIMP universe and I figure the more information, the better.

Fritz is on the fritz , sorry had to say that. Please continue writing terrific excellent entertaining reviews Fritz for you're not on the fritz. Bill K.

Wow, Fritz. I'm sorry to hear you feel your review didn't go over well, because as I said in my response to it, I thought it was fabulous.

As to my saying I was gonna pass on this particular one, I also paraphrased that by saying I'm a HUGE fan of Roman's work, and have pretty much everything else he's released. Hell, here's the list I just purchased in December alone when he announced a sale in here:

Ally Angels Xmas Nightmare [Photos]
Bad Day For Veronika [VOD]
Brutal Treatment of a Captive Female Pt1 [VOD]
Brutal Treatment of a Captive Female Pt2 [VOD]
Fantom Intruder Pt 2 VOD
Fantom Kiler Strikes Again [VOD]
Game Over [VOD]
Interrogation of a Rebel Spy Pt1 [VOD]
Interrogation of a Rebel Spy Pt2 [VOD]
Kingdom of the Rats [VOD]
Kristi and the Time Machine VOD
Pussy Hunt [VOD]
Santa's Little Slut [VOD]
The Dog Walker [VOD]
The Interrogation of Stella Diamond [VOD]
The Pussy Strangler VOD
Tortured Twins Part 1 [VOD]
Tortured Twins Part 2 [VOD]

Those were just the ones in December. So trust me, Roman has already and will continue to get my support. I was just saying I was gonna pass on this one due to the sound, and something else I didn't mention, the length, but thanks to Roman's post, I will be buying the updated version that will be released.

If anything, your review made me feel guilty that I hadn't taken the time to do any yet.

Howie.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, I just love great tits. I couldn't give two shits if they're real or fake.

There are TONS of real breasts out there that look like total shit, just as there are tons of bad boob jobs, but I have yet to see any bad tits in any Roman film, real or enhanced. So your criticism is totally lost on me.

Howie

Seconds earlier!

Another witch successfully dealt with - as featured in the TV documentary Witch Hunter's Bible

Um, gee. OK, I'm sorry for saying what I like. Didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings or whatever. Let's see now.

About caps vs vids: I thought I was pretty clear with the point that there are dozens of moments in most any video where a stop image is dead-on someone's tastes (mine, in this case)--a position, an expression, etc.--even when the video itself is not well acted or the production values are poor, etc. There have been many comments here about films where the producers pick a specific image to sell the film, so I didn't think that was a controversial statement.

As for fake breasts vs. real, I too agree that there are good fakes and bad fakes. I was not complaining about Ally's; I was commenting on the Teraz models in general. One of their main actresses from MOW and MOW2 has what Ralphus calls very accurately "bolt-ons", which really do spoil the effect for me.

Teraz films: Sorry, Fritz. You didn't convince me to buy anything--certainly not films you didn't even review. I'm a big boy, and I make my own choices, and even in the ones I bought there were some pieces and images that did the trick for me. Pretty much par for the course in any purchase. I already have both the MOW flicks, Girl in the Life and a bunch of others as well, so I know Teraz pretty well and support them (though not always without reservations) as a prolific and on-target producer of material I generally like and can download VOD. I write in my reviews what I like and what I don't, and you have generally been more of a critic than a shill in your posts, so I don't take them with a lot of grains of salt. Continue to feel that way.

MAM scan of the day is from Battle Cry Apr 1965.

Thomas Chaser:

The shots of the naked girl being "examined" by doctors is from a Zenra.net clip called "Female Body Medical Examination."

The clip is subtitled in English somewhat; the more detailed written description explains that the "doctors" work for a pharmaceutical company developing a pill to give women instant orgasms. The girl in your photos is but one of a number of female volunteers and the clip is mostly about the docs gently touching, poking and studying the girls' bodies. No GIMP action -- this is all harmless silliness.

" a pill to give women instant orgasms " what's the fun in that? Bill K.

To Everyone: I want all of you to know I appreciate this forum more than you probably know...for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that although I can't contribute to it as most of you do about this film or that, you allow me to talk about things I DO KNOW about, that I can't begin to share with people who think they know me. It's great to be able to tell people about things I've experienced who have a real interest in seeing images...still or moving...of helpless girls suffering who knows what as much as I do!...so THANKS!

TRG: Getting girls to submit to what I wanted to do to them was a complex process that simply can't be described in a paragraph, so ask for your patience in attempting to give you a more complete concept of what happened...(and hey, it should make for interesting reading).

Let's start with Ann Bruno. She was one of the very best and just about the strangest girl I ever photographed.

I have no idea of the year, but I will never forget pulling up at a traffic light one hot Saturday afternoon and as usual, looked down to check-out what kind of Pussy might be in the car beside me and THIS is what I saw.




Since I was never without a loaded camera I shot these two photos as she sat there playing with herself...BUT...I couldn't see her face without giving-away what I was doing and that worried me because she might have been like some girls with a killer body but NO FACE.

So...thinking I might get lucky, I followed her and when she pulled into the parking lot of a fancy mall...I DID! I slowed down to watch her apparently waiting to get out until 3 young men walked past her car.

My brain exploded with "HOLY-SHIT" when this gorgeous girl pretended to ignore the 3 boys as she set one foot...(toe pointed)...on the pavement, then as if looking for something in the passenger's seat, she twisted around and let her legs spread more than wide enough to let them look at her bare pussy. *(She did that trick as good as or better than my wife...whom you've seen as Patti Whitman). That she had an ankle bracelet around each ankle...had on "Slut-heavy" make-up and POINTED HER TOES as she got out SLOWLY told me I might have just gotten very lucky!

Once in the mall I held back and watching how she sashayed her fine ass along...how she stood with her high heels more than a little too far apart to even come close to being a "Lady" and the way bent over to almost show the world she wasn't wearing panties...and that was all I needed to know so I approached her.

I just walked up and jokingly asked, "Excuse me Miss, but do you have a license?"

She looked at me, cocked her hip out, tossed her hair and asked, "For what?"

"To be utterly drop-dead-gorgeous and the sexiest woman I've seen in God knows when!" and she just beamed and said, "Thank you!"

We stood there for a few minutes, during which time I told her she needed to be a little more careful in THIS particular mall because the Security people were a bunch of inhibited "Christians" who would just love to harass a girl like her...and that led to us sitting down on a bench where I simply came out and asked her if she would like to make money being photographed tied-up and gagged for "Bondage Magazines"...which was outrageously immoral but absolutely legal.

She didn't know but was curious to see some of these magazines so she walked with me to my truck, got in...(letting ME see her pussy)...and then sat there sort of transfixed as she looked through several magazines I always had with me...nervously kicking the free foot of her crossed legs with her toe pointed acutely.

Ann indicated a shot of a girl tied back against a post with a pussy-splitting rope pulling her to the very tips of her toes and murmured, "That's got to really HURT!" and I told her of course it did...that seeing helpless girls being tormented even to the point of torture made cock so hard that gallons and gallons of cum were ejaculated by men just looking at the pictures...(because from my experience I calculated that would appeal to her Slut's vanity and it did.)

Using a ploy I often used, before she could say "no", I asked her if she'd like to see my studio before she decided whether she wanted to work with me or not and she said "Yeah...I really would."

To keep her feeling safe I had her follow me in her car to the massive old building you've see the exterior of in "Curiosity Excited the Cat" and the interior you've seen in countless films where there were huge concrete pillars.

At the time I had posts set so I first showed her my clothing-heels and make-up room...(which was nicely carpeted and looked quite "professional", then some of the smaller rooms and then took her out to the main area where I set-up a white key light and a purple fill to one side...and then my two big 3'X6' mirrors and had her stand leaning back against a post so she could see herself in that ominous lighting.

"Ever been tied-up Ann?" I asked.

"God no!" she said but even as she said that she cocked one hip out and looked at herself as she pulled her arms back beside the post.

"Well..." I murmured, "...you probably need to know what it feels like before you commit to working with me. What'a ya think?" and congratulated myself for being so fucking smart when she said, "Ahhh...maybe...well, yeah, okay."

It took only a few minutes to get Ann's wrists tied and her elbows cinched tightly together...which made her gasp, "OHHHH-MY-GAWWWD! THAT'S MAKING MY TITS LOOK LIKE I WANT SOMEBODY TO HURT THEM!" and twisted her tied wrists as she made claws out of her fingers. *(All of which are positive proof that a girl is sexually excited by bondage.)



I backed her against a post and wadding a mass of cotton towel, I calmly and as non-threatening as possible, held it up and said, "Okay Sweetheart, open wide!"...AND SHE DID!

Once I had her mouth packed as full as possible with the gag held in by a leather strap...(because I wanted HER to be able to see her full luscious lips like I did)...I took the long strap around her throat and strapped her head back to the post.

It was like taking candy from a baby after that because she couldn't stop squirming and moaning as I opened the top of her dress and bared that pair of magnificent breasts of hers...then cinched the wide belt around her little waist and after raising her skirt to her waist...I brought the 1/2" scratchy hemp rope forward between her legs and threaded it through the pulley above and slightly in front of her...then moved back out of the light and slowly pulled down until her squirming HELPED the rope slit between the lips of her pussy.

I adore the sounds a girl makes as the "stimulation" become more and more painful as that rope tightens until she's straining on her tiptoes and Ann made them in spades!

Yeah, I left her there prancing from one toe to the other, watching as she tried to find some tiny degree of relief from the torture by putting her heels together but then succumb to spreading them...(which of course made the torture much worse!)

As for ME? Hell, she had me so hot and hard I sat down, intentionally leaving my legs and hips in the light with my upper body and face in the shadows and therefore invisible to her with the key light in her eyes...and began to slowly stroke my hard cock and massage my balls.

The problem was...she was moaning...groaning...trying to scream and nearly choking herself to death as she struggles so Goddamnperfectly that I shot-off long before I wanted to and when she saw the first stream of ejaculate rocket up into the air...Ann went into the most PUSSY-TORTURING orgasm I'd seen in a long time.

The poor girl just stood there, her legs rigid and trembling, screaming gagged sounds as her pussy literally erupted...then again...then again and again!

Seeing that was so good my fucking cock STAYED HARD but I knew I had to release her because I didn't know her nearly well enough to know if SHE knew what was happening to her and might freak-out on me, so I released her throat and pried the soggy mass out of her mouth...and the first thing Ann did was gasp a breath and then...IN THE MOST PITIFUL "Little-Girl" voice...she cried, "OHHHHGOD!...PLEASE...OHHHHGOD-FUCK ME! PLEEEEASSSEEE FUCK ME!"

*Seriously ...because I'd had a spike heel sunk into my ass or a thigh before by a girl I didn't know would be so wild, I tied her legs spread before I sunk into that girl's scalding-hot...(as in temperature)...pussy and discovered to my delight that if I squeezed her breasts BRUTALLY...the pain made her pussy contract so I was hooked...and fortunately for me...she was too.

That's how I met Ann Bruno.

It took me quite some time to realize that when working with her on camera, I ...(or we)...HAD to leave her bound and in whatever pain she was in when we reloaded a camera or had to re-set lights. Ann NEEDED to be uninterrupted in whatever mental/emotional place she went to which let to doing seriously hot things to her AFTER filming...(like I mentioned in a post...skewering her breasts with sterile Bar-B-Q skewers.)




It's a damn shame she moved away before I could get her in a film for the European marked where I COULD have shown the world what Ann's breasts looked like after being injected with a ton of saline to make them 2 cup-sizes bigger and then skewered with 6 skewers each!

Ann NEEDED to be uninterrupted in whatever mental/emotional place she went to which let to doing seriously hot things to her AFTER filming...(like I mentioned in a post...skewering her breasts with sterile Bar-B-Q skewers.)

Howie and Hellcat (post 903): Yeah Hellcat, she was one of mine whom I shot many times. Like some...she ALWAYS said she was doing it just for the money but we both knew that was just her way of giving herself permission to get REALLY tortured and fucked senseless off camera.

Howie (and others): My "take" on the sound H.O.M. put on the silent films is that I would have tried to find somebody with a "sound catalog" who would have been able to dub-in non-specific sounds as a background that were much more "ominous" and "scary". I had no say in what happened to my films after they left my hands and honestly, I thought the usual whatever it was...could have been done infinitely better but would have undoubtedly cost more.

As far as sound vs. silent? My God! The SOUNDS a squirming, struggling girl makes when she's being ACTUALLY HURT as in "FOR REAL"...is almost as gratifying and sexually arousing as DOING IT to her! If there had been budget enough I would have made every damn film I ever made sync-sound but it wasn't until 1982...(I think)...that I was able to convince the Boss that we needed to make a REAL MOVIE and that's when we made "Bittersweet Revenge"...(in which I got shot, which I thought looked damn good.)

In the final summation, why on earth would anyone want to hear bla-bla music when they could be hearing the Bitch screaming and listen to her begging for the torture to stop?

The problem with sound is that you MUST HAVE a girl who is capable of letting herself "get-into" the frame of mind of a girl being tortured and raped well enough that every whimper or scream is just plain REAL or you've got worse than nothing. With the equipment available today...my God...what I could do...but unless somebody would give me CONTROL of how a film was made, with a truly beautiful girl without those fucking tattoos and of its content I ain't interested.

Howie: Here's another of my creations where I substituted my wife Danielle's face and tits for the original...(showing what she HATES to love having done to her!)

Another great picture Blakemore but I'm thinking, totally ineffectual as it has no sound. Surely, imagery can be powerful in any format, medium or style, you just have to be creative.

As for wishing you could have filmed with real sound, was it not worth upgrading to a 16mm camera at some stage? Surely they weren't that expensive.

Steve Radar: Yes, agree wholeheartedly, and I DID shoot everything with a 16mm camera. At first it was Bolex and H.O.M. wasn't interested in upping my fee to cover sound equipment...(maybe because they didn't have anyone who could edit sound?) Then I bought a CP16 and talked her into letting me do a sync-sound film...however, before that, I had to get my film developed "under the table" and there was only ONE place within 100 miles who I could even begin to trust to do that. It was frustrating as hell!

Thanks! I found the website. I just might have to join to get the movie. It looks quirky and fun.

Imperial Questioning

Howie, Ralphus, Bill K., A Canadian: I appreciate the support guys, but just to set the record straight, I never felt the review “didn't go over well”. My concern was that I had misled readers into forming impressions which had a negative impact on the producer, one buyer and some potential buyers. It has since been pointed out to me, both on and off the forum, that this was not the case. That's a relief, though I continue to worry whether my words are interpreted as I wish them to be.

I never wrote many reviews to begin with, so this isn't really a big deal. But I guess I shouldn't let this experience dampen my willingness to try again sometime. I'll just have to be attentive and consider more carefully how my criticisms (and even my praise) will be received.

*  *  *  *  *

petelobo: By no means did I think my review somehow influenced you into purchasing a bunch of Teraz videos against your own better judgement. Your post merely led me to believe that the caps in particular made BoaB appear better than it was, at least from your perspective – perhaps leading you to risk a Teraz purchase, and subsequently being disappointed. As my assumption was false, I'm pleased there's no harm done.

Still, as you bought BoaB with both eyes open, and unaffected by the review, why would you choose to shop at Teraz when you clearly prefer the “A list” material at Elite Pain? Do you already have most of the latter's output? I confess I have bought Elite Pain videos long ago, but after quickly realizing these were not for me, I never returned – preferring to stay with vendors who usually deliver my own A list material. Perhaps you simply have a broader palate than I do (as well as more money ).

GIMPers,

My 2nd AOH torture custom with the superhot Candle Boxxx is now available. I can post a review soon, but as a quick summary, she is bound tightly AOH, belly punched/kneed/batoned and tasered for the most part, and also occasionally whipped and slapped, all the while dangling AOH to our delight.

Another shout out to Amy, what a great site design, she is brilliant.

Now is all we need is for Rick to kidnap her and put her through some modern day torture like he did with Lisa.

Blakemore's story of looking over into the next car at a stoplight and photographing Ann Bruno would be more believable if there were keys in the ignition.

petelobo said: As for fake breasts vs. real, I too agree that there are good fakes and bad fakes. I was not complaining about Ally's; I was commenting on the Teraz models in general. One of their main actresses from MOW and MOW2 has what Ralphus calls very accurately "bolt-ons", which really do spoil the effect for me.

Again, you're casting this wide net about all the Teraz models, when you've only pointed out one actress who you say had bad fake tits. I'm guessing you're referring to Maria Vaslova pictured above, of which I disagree on that assessment. Are they obviously fake? Yup, but I'd play with them puppies for hours and never get bored.

There are things stylistically and editorial wise from time to time that annoy me in some of the Teraz flicks, but the way the models look has never come even CLOSE to making that list. So different strokes for different blokes, because I find'em all to be smoking fucking HOT, and LOVE to see them suffer.

Howie

I'm glad all this Teraz stuff came up though, because I hadn't realized that Brutal Treatment of a Captive Female Pt3 had come out. (Linked above)

Can't wait to see Cindy Dollar, with her PERFECT fucking tits, get the shit kicked out of her one last time.

I must complete this epic trilogy this weekend. Ha ha.

Man, those fucking links never work for me... Tried it again above just for shits and giggles. Oh, and of course another delectable pic of Cindy and those fabulous tits. All drenched in cum, blood and sweat.... Awww... The poor thing... Kind feel sorry for her... Ha Ha, nope! Beat that hot piece of meat to death!

Busted!

Blakemore: Great story. I can't wait to hear about the others. I hope you don't blow out too many fuses when you're writing them.

The one thing about fake breasts is they do not flatten out with the AOH bondage position. The smaller natural breast cup sizes BB or smaller the gimp loses most if not all of her breast shape definition.

Otherwise natural breast cup size is not important but considering why gimps get fake breasts in the first place for larger cup size because of just what I just said in certain gimp cases it is important and size matters. Bill K.

Another dungeon rendering. A pet peeve I got about other renderings floating around is that the authors use tons of halogenic flood light in their scene which is weird. Dungeons were dark places with few flickering lights, enhancing the sheen of a sweating victim.

LIKE TORTURE FANTASY

Something like that.

Dungeons must have had a way of ventilating smoke and carbon monoxide out. I recall Amy and Margot having problems with that very thing in filming the dungeon scenes in Maleficarum. Bill K.

Bill K: Well, I visited a couple of medieval dungeons in the Europe's castles during the years and I assume it's the stack effect that keeps the air flow since they seems to be situated mostly on the bottom of a deeper chamber with a (more or less) vertical acces.

Seems we started a dungeon theme... so let me contribute with a recent render!

JD: One reason you don't see that many dungeon renders with "dungeon" lighting is simply because it's pretty difficult to achieve. Point light sources are difficult to control in many rendering engines and multiple light sources requires lots of computing power... Even with an advanced physics-based rendering engine, you still have exactly the same problem a real life photographer is confronted with capturing scenes with unsufficient light on film. It takes a lot of skill in lighting setup. The pic you posted is not lighted with just the torches you see in the pic, there are a number of additional light sources at play there. I'm sure Margot and Amy can attest to the diffulties in lighting dungeon scenes in their movies!

Kelderek The pic you posted is not lighted with just the torches you see in the pic, there are a number of additional light sources at play there.

Thanks for input. There are exactly 4 torches there (inverse squared) and 1 ember glow (inverse liniar) and nothing else. But I admit that sometimes a faint diffuse IBL would help act as a filler and soften the hard shadows.

Point light sources are difficult to control in many rendering engines and multiple light sources requires lots of computing power...

I found that atmosphere filling, ambient occlusion and dynamic hair are the worst offenders at eating CPU power, not the lighting(s). I have issues with multiples lighting because most common renderers (I use Firefly on Poser 2014) are only use the first 4 in previews.

A quad core and 16 GB of RAM on a 64 bit platform as I run takes about 1..3 minutes to draw as a draft (no bells and whistles) and anything between 10 minutes to 10 hours for a full scene with raytraced shadows.

Overall, it's a trade off. You might lose some detail (due to the poor lighting) and gain more on the realism.

Nicely Spotted Mr Anthony: "Blakemore's story of looking over into the next car at a stoplight and photographing Ann Bruno would be more believable if there were keys in the ignition".

Yes it is nice to hear these stories and I want to hear more but lets keep to the facts, cos its a lot more interesting that way.
PS: what is up with the Gimp Captcha?

A scene like that wouldn't work with multiple light sources, I think.

JD

PS: The capcha developer gotta be Canadian. It's mostly about Labbat and their 165 years of brewing. :)

JD, very nice job to get such lighting results in the Firefly renderer, you obviously have figured out its quirks better than I have!

Not at all, mon ami. I just happened to use a very versatile figure (Miki 4, worth every one of its 19.99 bucks) and a rather good hardware to test all the angles I like. Artistically, I'm definetely humbled by some other works out there.

E.g. That's one use of directional light (spot) I can find realistic, like a window somewhere up.

Today's MAM cover is BATTLE CRY Apr 1968 cover by Vic Prezio.jpg

Duillo of the Day: 7f299981 Duillo art.jpg

A trick to produce deeper shadows when you want attentuation greater than inverse square (like small dungeons, with torches too close/bright) is to add a diffuse source of light with negative value. That would dinamically darken the ambient scene, enhancing also the atmospheric absorbtion.

And that's a good example of artificially darkening the scene when there are way too many sources of light (a line-up of torches on the wall, in this case).

Sometimes, it's a good ideea to supress the lighting, like the ember glow here. A negative light source would help.

Dungeons and rats go together. Spiders and webs too. The gimp is modern looking, clean shaven too but that's not problem at all for me. Chains of skeletons on the wall are a Hollywood thing but chains and cells blocks make sense. I guess you can get too serious about what a real dungeon décor should have when really it's about the gimp and what's being done to her. Bill K.

Blakemore's Anne Bruno story: Only Blakemore knows exactly what happened, and his wife is at home this weekend, which means he's not gonna be able to access her computer and follow up until at least Monday. In a way, it's kind of funny. He's a grown man but he still has to secretly go online and look at porn only when his wife isn't around, like some kid sneaking into his dad's room to look at the stack of porno mags when he's at work. He says if his wife ever caught him looking at porn, she would divorce him. And of course she knows what he used to do for a living; she was even one of his models.

And whether you guys believe the whole story or not, you got to admit it's one of the most entertaining posts we've had here for a while.

Today's picture: Aren't those hot coals supposed to go under the seat? Like the above bmovievillain does, sadly without spikes. Bill K.

Geez, guys - so much great stuff's been going on here! I feel damn guilty about not chiming in more, of late, but I sorta feel like I shouldn't post anything unless I have a purdy picture to share along with it. So here's something out of the archives.

I'm still neck deep in that project with Geoff Merrick for BDSMartworks.com and trying to keep up an image a day for production. I'm 2/3's through, finally. Another week or two and it should be a wrap. It's been fun and challenging, but I gotta say I'm looking forward to a bit of "unstructured time" to just let my muse respond to where ever my brain feels like going in the moment.

All that said, let me look back and do some shout-outs on a few of the cool posts of late....

QUOOM: Great to see you posting a bit more. Your work is truly a stand out in the field and I'm sure you can tell you've got a lot of fans here who are delighted by your participation. And that suspended elctro-torture scene in the industrial basement was some great, hot work - especially that third shot with the juice flowing!

JD: Some truly fine Photoshop work there! Very convincing and refined.

Mwb writes: "Put me in the "sick fuck" category. I like it real.": I can understand that - ESPECIALLY when it comes to performers like the absolutely stunning 912, that you pictured. It's not only that it's real, but she into it from the masochist side and loses herself in the fear and pain like few others. Even if it's a studio shoot, she still draws you in with a sense of peril, fear, and anguish. She was a real treasure and it's sad (for me) that her tenure came to an end with Insex.

Blakemore: Ann Bruno - YAY! Man, whatta sexy dumpling she was. I only have a few of your works with her in my collection, but she's maybe the closest to an "Arcas Girl" of any of your models. Those tits were meant for tight bondage/torture, for sure. I'm sorry that we didn't get to see them meet some nasty skewers, as well (*sob*)...

Covers: Keep goin', man. It's great to pop on and get my fix of "the classics". The legless Nazi on the push cart with the shark tank was a real hoot!

Fritz: Thanks for the great review and caps of "Bitch on a Burner". It may be relatively simple, plotwise, but the model's a stunner!

Howie: Thanks for the heads up on that film series with Cindy Dollar. You're right - AMAZING tits! And more great imagery in parts 1 (electro!) and 2. Inspiring and delicious

Bound Bdsm Slave Clit Pumped brought to you by Slutload Free Porn

Interrogation Master: Can't help ya... though I wish I could! Looks "interesting". Best I can do is post my own similar theme, from a while back...

JD has it right with slutload.com; which is just a recycling of the clip from another website.

Ok, I've linked the original source link above. Not sure its worth $45 a month unless you're getting all of the Kink.Com websites at that rate. Maybe its just me, but I prefer something more than just "tie'em up and do'em"; like maybe a plot or a storyline, ya know?

Arcas, love your one candle slow cooker pussy artwork. But why just one candle?
Bill K.

Thomas Chaser wrote:

I don't follow enough of Kink's videos to know if they use an actual storyline, but from what I saw in the preview, I don't think so. As far as I can tell, they usually follow this modus operandi: Interview model, tell her what you're planning to do with her, perform various bondage positions on her, making sure that each one ends with a vibrator session (I caught the "May I cum, please?" line in the trailer) and finally, interview her afterward where she gushes about how much fun she had and of course, she would love to come back. The end.

Even taking that 5-minute clip out of context, it still bothers me. The male dom is talking to her about safe words and asking how far she's willing to go. In other words, you can't even fantasize it's non-consensual because they never let you forget it! Blakemore would do just the opposite. He'd tell her, "I'm gonna fuckin' torture you, BITCH!" and then he would do it. It's all about the attitude, and the words you use. That's why even though Kink does the bondage right, their stuff still sucks.

Another thing that I don't care for...I guess I don't mind it much in small doses, but covering up the face of the victim always takes something away from the fantasy. I want to see her face, her pleading scared eyes, and the bag over the head eliminates that. She's got a great body, but unless you see her face beforehand, you never know about her attractiveness until the bag is removed. It was kinda cool when he peeled up the bag just enough to see that she was ballgagged, though.

Opinions, anyone?

Arcas, is that a Genesis 2 figure? I don't think I'll spend close to a hundred bucks to find out but it looks good.

On that Slutload clip or all of Kink's videos there is no merciless peril at all. Plot or no plot.

Here is a Padme peril I found to go with all of JD's great Leia peril artworks.

Jabba's trophy wall.

@ Arcas - Be sure an let us know when this big project goes up over at bdsmartwork.com. I'll be glad to sign up for a month over there to see what you've been working on. Besides, I haven't joined that site in a few years at this point anyhow.

Hey, cool! It's up. What's there now is about the first 1/6th of the story. I'm not sure how quickly they'll dole it out. I'm working on the last 1/3rd right now. The whole story will have around 35 accompanying illustrations.

If you join you get access to the whole site and if you've never joined before, you WILL get your money's worth as there's a lot of accumulated content.

Ralphus wrote: Another thing that I don't care for...I guess I don't mind it much in small doses, but covering up the face of the victim always takes something away from the fantasy.

For me that would take away everything. The face sells it to me. It's got to be a pretty face, it's got to portray distress, pleading, etc. Most women's bodies look alike, but their faces make the difference between the ones who click and the one who don't.

Looking at the other previews especially Damian's Indian Wild West story I just may join as soon as Arcas' story is released to see. It's been about 2 years since I was a member there and so it's maybe worth a quick one month membership look, then I will cancel again.

One more Padme peril I found. Bill K.

Wait...What?! Not disagreeing with the argument that faces are important--as are voices (how they cry and scream--which are indeed very individual--but I'm hoping you were just over-stating a point to try to make it. Most women's bodies look alike?!

Well, yeah, I guess you could say they mostly have two arms and two legs, and the legs go down to the floor, and they have breasts and bellies and butts, and a variety of interesting hot, tight orifices, etc. You know, all that basic stuff. But Jesus, you could as easily say all faces look alike: most have a couple eyes, a nose, a mouth, a forehead, some ears on the side, etc.

I would say that it's not the hardware that makes the victim, it's the software. My argument about capping vs. watching vids is exactly based on that. There are lots of models in gimp material who are blow-away exciting until you see or hear them in action. An irritating voice or bored expression on the face can kill the experience, I agree. But so does a body that sits like a lump of clay or seriously over-reacts. Tiny breasts or big footballs don't do a thing for me. Not a big fan of bony anorexic girls or seriously overweight ones, but the MILF look, a little bigger than "ideal" can still do the trick if it's expressive.

Basically if a woman looks like she is suffering--her body writhing (which is not apparently an easy thing to do), her face and eyes showing it, her voice, gagged or not--if she is selling the experience, it works for me. Otherwise there might be some images--instants where I can believe she was feeling what she obviously was not--but the real thing is fast-forward one time through.

InterrogationMaster: Don't know if this helps, but there is a 5-minute clip featuring your image (post 970) at http://www.crybdsmporn.com/gallery/bdsm-fetish-slave-gets-dominated-1/index.html

Today's MAM cover is from Battle Cry Aug 1965 V8 #5.

------

I've got to say that every GIMP photo stands on its own. It's a combination of body and face and pose and expression and situation and surroundings and a few of other factors.

InterrogationMaster's photo works for me because the GIMP's tension and fear is visible even without seeing her face.

Duillo of the Day is _jm105r1_duillo combined.jpg

I really approve of today's pic of slave 912. She suffers so beautifully, has a great gimp body, and is really into the scene.

I especially love a session she did for Insex in 2003 or 2005. The look of pain and suffering she shows is genuine and a real turn-on. I used to be able to find part 2 of the session on a couple of sites, but now it has disappeared. Anyone know if it is still available?

I get what TRG is trying to say, and I also agree with Ralphus. If this was an interrogation story, then having the bag over the head would work wonderfully because it adds an additional layer of duress to the GIMP being tortured. It would be easy to take stills from this clip and add dialogue or narration that would read something like "Here we have another journalist/university student/activist whom we have identified as an enemy of the State. She has information that could lead to the arrests of several more of her kind. In this video, our master torturer will attempt to break her will by sexually abusing her until she agrees to cooperate with our investigation. First, notice that she has been stripped and a heavy canvas bag placed over her head to blind her and limit the amount of air she can breathe. This instills a feeling of helplessness and despair in the subject, even before we begin with our active forms of torture..."

Continuing my thought...

Without any sort of introduction, we would have no way of know that was Beretta James under that bag. She's done a number of shoots with the various Kink.Com studios so her face is pretty easy to identify. Her body, on the other hand (as TRG stated) is fairly generic with no tats, no marks, no piercings, and no scars. So, when the torturer lifts the edge of the bag to wet his finger on her tongue, it's a bit like a peep-show as we see that under that canvas bag is a pretty good-looking chin and mouth. Even at that point, I never would have guessed it was Beretta James under there, which makes me wonder "why bother paying Beretta James-level money in the first place?" Any way, the video looks good but could be so much better if the torturer had played his role a bit more and made it seem a little less consensual.

First of all, a tip of the whip to 912, who, in my book, is the best performer I have encountered in our favorite genre. I would say 'actress' but it's not acting in the usual sense. I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing her well whatever she is doing now.

@ Bill -- When you say Part II -- do you mean Part II of "Twitchy and Wet" (from which today's image was taken? The sequel to T and W was titled "Blow by Blow," or "Blow by Blow, Part II." It's very good, but not, IMO, quite as good, to my breast-centric taste, as T & W, which, for me, is the creme de la creme of BDSM films.

There is also a Part I and Part II of a Dec 2001 "Live Feed." My recollection of that one is that it contains a scene with 912 having eight or ten slivers or splints lodged in each of her luscious breasts.

I have seen both films listed as being available for download on line quite recently.

Also, hats off to Ralphus and Amy and the many recent contributions. It's beginning to seem as if the default by the Forum's server or provider or whatever it's called has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

@ ralphus #976

Couldn't agree more on all counts.

I don't like head or face coverings of any kind. In some cases, I suppose they are used to protect the identity of the woman, but thoughtfully chosen wigs, eye-wear and camera angles would usually suffice in that regard.

I suppose the pre and post session interviews are deemed a legal necessity, but they are really mood-destroying. And so, to my taste, are the extended vibrator scenes which so many film-makers use, which obviate any pretense of non-consensuality. The convincing feigning of non-consensuality is a sine qua non of credigimpibility in my book.

Having said that, it occurs to me that perhaps women find the vibrator scenes very, um, gratifying? Would any members of the fair sex care to comment on that point?

And that last point leads me to wonder -- what percentage of the consumers of gimpographic material are women, do you suppose? Has anyone ever seen any reliable estimates? Ralphus, do you have a sense of the male-female ratio of the people who visit this site?

It has always surprised me that about 20% of the people who have sent me feedback for my stories over the years have been women, about half of whom say they are writing on behalf of themselves and their boyfriend/lover/husband.

Since my stories are written about 85-90% from the male pov, I have found it a bit curious that the number of female repliers is as high as it is (although, in fairness the number of people who take the trouble to contact an author may not be representative of the total number of readers.

Slutload's Beretta James is not being tortured and even calling it sexual assault (rape) is a stretch so head covered or not does it matter. It's certainly not merciless.

I think bag over head is to hide she actually sexual enjoying what's being done to her. Also her body language says to me no sweat no stress or fear.
Don't gimp under emotional and physical stress of any kind sweat? Bill K.

Covers:

I thought you might be of help here. This is a (poor) copy of probably the first bondage-related image I ever saw, sometime around the late 70s/early 80s. I wish I still had the original magazine. Would you happen to have this photo in your collection? Thanks!

First...Ralphus failed to mention two of the actual reasons I have to be cautious in accessing any of this sort of thing.

One...my wife has a high security clearance with a major government/military contractor and like it or not...constitutional or not...they have the ability and desire to make spot checks on this type of employees personal computer activity.

Two...she looks UN-naturally young and has a body that has to be seen to be believed and she is just plain VAIN and jealous, so...now that you've had your laugh at my expense friend Ralphus...maybe you will eventually learn that I DO NOT HAVE a fucking sense of humor. Okay?

As for the observation that Ann Bruno did not have a key in the ignition of her car? Thanks for noticing...and, do any of you actually expect me to recall every Goddamn detail of things that happened 30+ years ago? And WHY would I waste my time and take this risk to make-up shit for your entertainment?

However...I said "thanks for noticing" because until you said that I'd totally forgotten that Ann's car was a beat-up clunker in which the ignition switch did not work, so some shade-tree mechanic had rigged a fucked-up ignition switch on the OTHER SIDE of the steering column and that's why you couldn't see it. Okay? JeaZZZZUS, please give me a break people.

Now TRG: I would love to tell you about how I met "my girls"...at least those that were unusual or interesting in how that happened but...honestly, I am getting very concerned about doing things like this on-line for reasons already stated. Our lives depend on Danielle's job and this is a risk that has gotten just too big to take, so I wish all of you well and will always appreciate the reception you've given me.

Ralphus, call if you wish but this decision is based on some recent incidents I can't talk about here...so as much as I really do hate to lose this form of communication...THE REAL WORLD can't be ignored.

Best wishes to one and all!
Blakemore

I can tell you when I talked to Blakemore over the weekend and mentioned someone had said the key wasn't in the ignition, he didn't even hesitate when he told me it had been hooked up on the other side. It's not like he had to stop and think about what to say first and then came up with an excuse. I've mentioned here before that I don't always "buy" every story he tells me, but in this case, I do believe he's being totally honest. So you guys that are screaming "busted!" likely owe the man an apology. At the very least, give him the benefit of the doubt. The explanation seems plausible to me.

Furthermore, he's been very generous to come here and share his life with a bunch of people he doesn't know, and will likely never know. I've joked about him sneaking onto his wife's computer when she's away, but he really is taking a chance every time he goes online. Personally, I hope this doesn't chase him away for good. He's a unique guy and he says some controversial stuff, and yes, I've been one of the guys who's taken him to task for some of what he's said. It doesn't mean I don't like having him around. I feel the benefits of having him here far outweigh the occasional rifts we've had here in the past. The man invented the bondage industry...he's literally a living legend. And he's actually a nice man. Except for the lack of the sense of humor part :)

Meanwhile, I fear my days on this forum may be "numbered."

It's not that I lack a sense of humor, or that I'm upset to learn how the real world works, or anything like that.

Instead, the problem is that it appears the anti-bot test is now conducting mathematical quizzes. To quote Chevy Chase (as Gerald Ford): It was my understanding that there would be no math.
