CINEMA SEEN - "Documented Is As Documented Does"
By William Margold

     I truly believe that Samson, my beyond spoiled and amusingly snobbish Himalayan cat knows more about how my computer works than I do. Invariably when I am banging away on it, he stations his magnificent self in a position so that he can attentively watch what I am doing, and every once in awhile he swipes at the keys with one of his massive paws, causing me to curse him as I delete the damage that he has done. Of course, he couldn’t give a cat’s ass about my plight. The preceding was offered to set-up the fact that in this introduction, for no other reason than I laughed out as it reeled by, I would like to suggest to all LOST (the great TV series that airs on Wednesdays on ABC) fans out there that they quickly go to http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/272811 for a genuine treat. The preceding was also offered because recently a simian-pathy associate of mine called my attention to the fact that some chimps at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago have begun to relate to computers. Hmmm…kitty see…monkey do! And in keeping with this obvious case of letting my mind (or lack of same) wander, I thought that I would divert even further away from the mainstream by presenting an assortment of recent DVD distractions that are related to the considerably more adult side of the screen, and offer up a quartet of productions, that all have one thing in common: an appearance by ME. So…consider that I’m giving myself a non-denominational holiday gift here, and hopefully, you’ll be rewarded as well.
     PORN STAR PETS (www.pornstarpetsthemovie.com)---Although he only makes a very brief appearance, the late and dearly lamented Siamese Pogo (who can be seen laying serenely on my lap at the top of this page), is among the four (and more) footed friends in this all-together wacky look at adult industry entertainers, and how they relate to their pets. Director Margie Schnibbe has rounded up an all-star cast including Brittany Andrews, Kim Chambers, Mr. Marcus, Taylor Wane, Sunset Thomas, Teri Weigel (pictured on the box cover with a couple of her Shelties), and of course, Ron Jeremy (whose nickname is “The Hedgehog”) appear with their comforting creatures, almost all of whom perform for the camera in a manner that strongly suggests that they are fully aware of who is really in charge at home. Indeed, herein, the term “heavy petting” takes on a whole new meaning.
     INSIDE DEEP THROAT (www.universalentertainment.com)---The one that started in all! Way back in 1972, the Gerard Damiano-directed explicit erotic effort helped the making of hardcore films as well going to see hardcore films “sociologically acceptable.” This documentary returns to that era, and feels the pulse (among other things) of many of the people who were involved in helping to carve the letter X into the public psyche. I only appear in an added feature that focuses on the posthumous induction of the film’s star, Linda Lovelace, into ‘The Legends of Erotica” in Las Vegas. But it’s enough time for me to sober the audience with the sentiment: “there is no future if in the present we fail to pay homage to the past.”
     GINGER LYNN THE MOVIE (www.paradisevisuals.com)---Meet the most popular adult actress of all-time. Of course this production really only goes “in-depth” where it counts, but then that is exactly what one should expect when dealing with the consummate carnal creation. Ginger is joined (in more ways than one) by the lusty likes of John Holmes and Harry Reems and Christy Canyon. My involvement came late, when I joined the show as a commentator. But I think that you’ll take many of the points that I make about Ginger, and the times that bred her, to heart…as well as to hard.
     RATED X: A JOURNEY THROUGH PORN(www.pathfinderpictures.com)---At this point, Dag Yngvesson’s slyly self-deprecating, painfully perceptive immersion into the warm, wet, writhing and very worried world of XXX (circa the mid-1990’s), has no equal. Dag’s very personal tale takes him deep (and deeper) into the Valley (San Fernando, of course), where he is whirl-winded by me, in the appropriate role of adult industry gatekeeper, through the lives of many very earnest souls who spend a great deal of their time on their backs and knees, so that they can walk proud among us. Particularly raw are the scenes with the magnificent Jeanna Fine, who continuously fights battles with her various demons…and doesn’t always win them. I’m hoping that this production will eventually transcend its DVD release, and be (at least) midnight screened in bigger venues, as it demands to be seen beyond the limited range of living rooms. And, of course, I’ll be there, proudly introducing the feature with the insights of a person who has proudly spent well over three decades striving each and every day to keep the letter X alive and well in the entertainment alphabet.
