Open Wide

Checked out Inside Deep Throat, the documentary about the Deep Throat revolution. I'm a bit of a doc whore and I have to say, stylistically, the documentary is one of the most aesthetically pleasing ones I've ever seen. (get your mind out of the gutter, it's about more than just blow jobs.) The doc conveyed that this truly was a film that changed the industry, if not the sexual culture of the country. Great interviews—Norman Mailer, Dr. Ruth (love that little horny pixie), Hugh Hefner, Erica Jong, the crew, the actors, the director. (Though everyone's favorite has to be the Miami distributor who's wife spends his interview segments nagging from a different room but finishes the film sitting by his side alluding to the fact that she has done what was done in the movie). Remarkably, Deep Throat is still the most profitable film of all time: made for $25,000 it's grossed over $600 MILLION. (Even though the director and the stars never made any money off the film.)

One thing I know for sure now, the 70s were REALLY hairy.
