Huh. You just never know, do you ...

To be shown where? At your local cinema?

[threadjack] I actually saw Deep Throat in a local cinema when it first came out in 1972 or 73. [/threadjack]

That's true... they actually showed that one at 'regular' cinema's at the time. Don't know about here though.... I'm afraid I was just a little too young then.

I downloaded (I know, bad girl) the movie a while ago since it is, after all, one of the classics of porn. Of course it is totally dated and I just watched some to see what all the fuss was about. It kinda looks silly compared to all the (also silly sometimes, but different take on the whole 'thing'-kinda) stuff that's out there now.

What did you think after you saw it?

It was the best porn movie I'd seen up to that point. My experience before this had been limited to some home-grown shorts that had ridiculously poor production values but since they had local talent with whom I'd played hockey, were at least interesting.

Actually, I thought that DT had some good wit along with what was, for the time, good sex scenes. My two favorite scenes were witty. First was the scene between the roommate and the grocery delivery kid, when the roommate said, "Do you mind if I smoke while you eat?" In the second, Linda had just been told by the pseudo shink that her clit was located 9 inches down her throat, which explained why she could only get off on oral sex. She replied, "How'd you like it if your balls were in your ears?" His answer: "At least I could hear myself coming."

That's nigh poetry for porn dialogue.

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that it's blasphemy to fool with a New Englander's right to his fluffernutter.

See, I did not even make it to those parts I guess because non of this rings any bell with me.

However.... I still have it on the computer somewhere so maybe I should take a look and have a laugh?

The summer after I graduated high school me and some of the boys got it in our heads one night to go to the run down old movie theatre that ran X Rated movies. This was a few years before home video. It was like 30-45 minutes away in another town that was run down enough to still permit an X Rated theatre, so this was an adventure. We were such geeks about it, like small town boys right out of "Breaking Away." We were all "of age" by then, but we still loitered on the sidewalk across the street daring each other to go in first. When we actually saw an old man in a trench coat and shoes but no socks or pants visible walk through the lobby, we laughed so hard we almost wet our pants, and then we left. Nothing much happened that night, but it's still one of my favorite memories of growing up.

E, given your academic bent, I am surprised you'd quote a dubious source like Wikipedia after the John Seigenthaler fiasco last fall.

Jeepers, J-man, lighten up!

(1) It might help to click the link provided to get the full context of the quote.

(2) The fact in the quote happens to be verifiable and true.

(3) Partially in reponse to the scandal, the peer reviewed journal, Nature, published an article whose findings concluded similar error rates between Encyclopedia Brittanica and Wikipedia. Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales, instituted procedures to reduce the possibility of events happening like those surrounding the Seigenthaler incident. Sounds like pretty responsible publishing practice to me.

Finally, (4), encyclopedias aren't first sources for academic research but they can a helpful place to start. (Just wait til my groundbreaking paper on brachiovaginal eroticism gets published and nets me a Nobel Prize for science!!!)

Sorry! I had a feeling that that would come across the wrong way (i.e. nasty, scolding) on a toneless, faceless posting, and I should've listened to that little voice in my head and not posted that.

And yeah, it would of helped if I clicked on the link, which, of course... I... did... not... do. Sigh.

And being a fan of your posts, I really, really should have had the foresight to know tha you would come back at me with some comparison of the veracity of Wickipedia vs. a "name" encyclopedia. Yeah, I really should have seen that one coming a mile away.

So, all in all, please accept my humble apologies. Jersey Man zero, Eudeonia.. about 11 out of 10 on that round! (Not that this is a contest or anything.)

And finally, I really must ask, brachiovaginal eroticism??? Ah, but this time, just before cliking on "submit reply," I was smart enough to look it up! So I must say, that'll be some Nobel ceremony, for sure.

Give me five or six years, and meet me in Oslo. Ticket's on me.
