Deepthroat



You can't find this anywhere, unless you download it on a torrent or a .rar file. I don't even think this film will see the light of day. It's only an hour and I had no other real purpose of watching it than to watch the first porno ever to hit the big screen. After, watching this is good to watch the footnote film Inside Deepthroat and see why many considered this film a very important advancement in American film. John Waters described buying a ticket to the film during it's original release as, "it turned buying a ticket into an act of revolution." What corporate and 'descent' America sees as a stain on the American society of pureness was a multi-million dollar phenomenon. The film was removed from screen out of indecency, the filmmakers and actors arrested. Though this would not be the only time in history for this to happen for example the film, Cannibal Holocaust, it was one of the first major known film to be removed. Off the top of my head the only one before this one that I can even guess was removed was Birth of Nation but, I doubt that statement after claiming it. It was the golden step to a long staircase into the American pornography film industry and a large step into the continuation of underground rebel cinema.

A sexually frustrated woman, Linda Loveless (Linda Loveless), asks her friend, Helen (Dolly Sharp), for advice on how to achieve an orgasm. Linda says she feels 'tingles' all over but, has never experienced an orgasm to it's fullest potential. Helen decides to throw a sex party for her friend to see if her pleasures can be finally be fulfilled possibly by trying different men. After the party provides no help, Helen recommends that Linda visit a doctor (Harry Reems). The doctor discovers that Linda's clitoris is located in her throat after an examination. The two then perform oral sex where Linda finally achieves an orgasm and wants to marry the doctor but, the doctor denies for his dick is too wore out to handle anymore deepthroating. She then goes on to work as a therapist for the doctor and performs a particular technique of oral sex - thereafter known as "deep throat" - on various men, until she finds the one to marry.

The 61 minute film is intended to be humorous with highly tongue in cheek dialogues and songs; fireworks going off and bells ringing during orgasm as well as, rocket ships shooting off during climax. The film is short lived but memorable. Some say it's immoral I say it's a rebellion against modern censorship and an underdog of the modern film world. Maybe a remake will come into view Lindsay Lohan in the lead role. Oh, dream I may but, happen it never will.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan



This film was a blast, all the way from the beginning all the way to the end. I had first seen it when I took an old friend named, Kelsea, out on what wasn't neither an outing nor a date. I don't know what it was. None the less, she didn't want to go see it out of respect for her friend Sabila. I talked her into it because, she had a vague interest and had heard it was pretty good. We went to Gainesville to see it and ate Quizno's and ventured into the odyssey that is the World of Sacha Baron Cohen. Never before has a movie made me laugh so hard. I laughed until I was coughing, and my ribs hurt from over exertion, my cheeks were sticky with dried tears, the same for Kelsea. I hold this film as one of the funniest films ever, up with, Love and Death, The Big Lebowski, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, A Shot in the Dark, and Blazing Saddles.

Sacha Baron Cohen, stars as his character from his old sketch comedy show, The Ali G Show, named Borat Sagdiyev. Borat is a reporter nominated for several award in his home country of Kazakhstan who is sent over by his agency to do a special report on the country of America to see why they're so successful and then bring the glory back to Kazakhstan. Borat is accompanied by his colleague, Azamat Bagatov (Ken Davitian) who is in charge of managing the on the road show and coordinator of where Borat will be reporting. After arrival in New York City, the first few reports prove unsuccessful Borat is discouraged in and is sitting in his hotel room watching American television. Upon it an episode of Baywatch comes on and he sees the star, Pamela Anderson. Borat instantly falls in love and learns that she lives in California and convinces his partner Azamat to take the show on the road so he can secretly come in contact with her so that he can marry her.

The movie is an amazing exploration of all the stupid shit that makes America so embarrassing to live in. Sure, we have our proud moments but, as of lately not a whole bunch and Borat takes those and cuts them open with a surgical knife and tosses all the organs around for those who've forgotten what we're made out of nowadays. One of my personal favorites is the stunt he does where he sings the national anthem at a rodeo in Texas and meets the owner of it. That's a 100% Texan for you, anti-everything non-Christian American. If anything that man deserved a punch in the chin with a quick thrust in the penis from a swift right heel. Ignorance is no where near bliss and this ignorance is very common to come across in America. I guess that's our biggest downfall as a country is our ignorance. I wonder what it is in our blood that makes us so intolerable to reason or common sense. A majority of Americans are not open to new things and they make other peoples personal lives a huge mishap on their lives. It's not worth it to make such a big deal that two men in love when you only have your one and only life to live. So, on top of being funny as hell, it's sort of a well hidden exposure of our beautiful country. Upon the recent release of Cohen's next dive into major film, BrĂ¼no, I much prefer Borat. It seems much more controversial and much more diverse. Borat didn't leave anything untouched or sacred he attacked all the habitats were use to today.
