May I lower the level of discussion? I saw Kira Reed on some commercial for something called mymedicalrecords.com over the weekend. If you ever watched Cinemax After Dark in the late 1990s, you saw Kira Reed. She looked excessively Botoxed, sad to say.

Always wondered about that genre, the "hard R" T&A field of moviemaking. Is it really profitable? More so than porn? Who pays for those movies besides Cinemax, anyway?

I think a lot of those are actually just edited pornos. So they're pretty much turning one movie into two.

I think they are now. Some of the last ones that I saw before I got married looked like that. But I don't think the ones they made back when Shannon Tweed built a career out of making them were.

When I was a teenager, I worked a summer at a blockbuster. We had a bunch of those 'erotic thrillers'. Lots and lots of dudes would rent them. It was always very surprising.

Really? I guess that makes sense enough in the days b/f Internet porn.

For this weekend, I've attained a rare print (on VHS) of Abel Gance's 4 hour silent epic "Napoleon".

Then when I'm done watching that, I'm going to watch "Frankenstein Conquers the World".

I have a 5.5 hour version of that. I haven't worked up the willpower to watch it. At least Satantango had sound.

I'm picturing the DVD box that has one of those scandalous "UNRATED" stamps at the top, a claim of "NOW WITH 90 MORE MINUTES OF FOOTAGE", and Napoleon surrounded by skanks in bikinis.

Finally watched "Shane" after letting it sit on my DVR for months.

"Come back, Shane!"

I'd like to apologize to the forum for forgetting to notify y'all of a John Gilbert marathon on TCM the other day. Included "The Big Parade", one of my favorite movies ever and the highest grossing film of the 1920s. TCM shows a silent movie most every Sunday night for those who are interested.

I think I set up my DVR to record that but I'm not certain.

In fact, people who like classic movies would be well-served to look over TCM's schedule from time to time. They show some great stuff. Their month-long pre-Oscar marathon of Oscar-winners is particularly good.
