Shot in Central Park, Times Square, the Village, and elsewhere, A BRIDE FOR BRENDA narrates (quite literally – the story is told via female-voiced omniscient narration rather than dialogue) the experiences of NYC-neophyte Brenda as she moves into an apartment with Millie and Jane. These apparently unremarkable roommates soon prove themselves to be flesh-hungry lesbians, spying on Brenda as she undresses, attempting to seduce her, and making her forget all about her paramour Nick (and his partners in masculinity). As the narrator intones, “Once a young girl has been loved by a lesbian, it’s difficult to feel satisfaction from a man again.” –Thurs, Oct 3 at 7:30. TAYLOR MEAD MEMORIAL SCREENING Who didn’t love Taylor Mead? Irrepressible and irreverent, made of silly putty yet always sharp- witted, he was an underground icon in the Lower East Side and around the world. While THE FLOWER THIEF put him on the map, and Andy Warhol lifted him to Superstardom, Taylor truly made his mark in the incredibly vast array of films and videos he made with notables and nobodies alike. A poster child of the beat era, Mead was a scene-stealer who was equally vibrant on screen, on stage, or in a café reading his hilarious, aphoristic poetry.

  • CHICAGO TRIBUNE, April 3, 2005, Section XIV, Pages 4, 5
    CHICAGO TRIBUNE, April 3, 2005, Section XIV, Pages 4, 5. Baring their souls: Players in the porn-film industry shed light on an often-overlooked cultural and economic phenomenon By David J. Garrow The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry By Legs McNeil and Jennifer Osborne, with Peter Pavia ReganBooks, 620 pages, $27.95 The top people in American pornography know that size does matter. No, not actors and actresses like Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jameson, who have crossed over into mainstream popular culture, but millionaire businessmen like Steven Hirsch and Edward Wedelstedt. Their names rarely appear in the press, but the explosive growth of what is now a more-than-$10-billion-a-year industry owes more to the corporate savvy of little-known executives than it does to the sexual skills of the stars. Yet one fact stands out more than perhaps any other about American porn: Astonishingly little serious journalism or scholarship is devoted to it. Journalist Eric Schlosser and film scholar Eric Schaefer have each published instructive essays, but "The Other Hollywood" is the first mainstream book in many years to attempt a comprehensive portrait of an industry that's often overlooked as a cultural phenomenon and underappreciated as an economic dynamo. Lead author Legs McNeil, a former magazine editor who co-edited a widely praised oral history of punk, has teamed with two younger researchers to produce a highly informative tome. But "The Other Hollywood" is not easy reading, even for those who are not the least bit squeamish about the subject matter.

  • Increased Adult Content and Harder Core Pornography
    Sean Hannon Williams The Parallel Trends of Increased Adult Content in Mainstream Media and Harder Core Pornography: A Tale of Market Failure? INTRODUCTION Over the past fifteen years, mainstream media increasingly incorpo- rated pornographic references and themes into its content. This occurred on broadcast television, mainstream cable stations, billboards, and in print advertising. During a similar period, the adult industry’s video production skyrocketed from 1,500 new titles per year to more than 11,000. Many of these films depicted increasingly hard core acts, which the industry felt were necessary to satisfy customer demand. Although pleasingly parallel, these trends are probably not directly related. Rather, the shift to harder core pornography can most likely be traced to competition among direc- tors and actors to differentiate their work from other adult films. Part I describes the proliferation of pornography and sex in main- stream media. There are a substantial number of explicitly pornographic ref- erences in broadcast television, cable televisions, movies, and advertising. Part II documents the current financial state of the pornography industry. The pornography industry makes $10 billion per year. Reverberations between the content of mainstream media and the content of pornography would thus have a huge financial impact. Part III documents the shift toward harder core material in the pornography industry. Plot-driven pornography has been on the decline. Plotless all-sex films are now the norm. These so-called “gonzo” films often contain much more violence, and more hard core sex acts such as double penetration, fisting, and urination. Part IV examines each trend, and discusses the relationships between these parallel trends.
