there’s nothing more horrifying and beautiful than getting told by a stranger that they’re a fan of your movies while you’re on the clock at your minimum wage job looking chopped as shit

Out today: two records from legendary gay porn star J.D. Slater. Originally released in 1999, Slater’s debut album Filling Your Silence compiled the soundtracks from the first two Raging Stallion Studios films, the production company he cofounded. Elbow Deep In The Hoopla features never-before-released scores from fisting-focused films. In the words of the Bay Area Reporter, these soundtracks are “quite possibly the best music for sex ever written.” jdslater.bandcamp.com

seeing on here that Bill Krohn died — want to recirculate his great 2004 Rouge piece on CRUISING, which integrates original research, auteurist critique, and narratology and is the best thing i've ever read about this endlessly fascinating film rouge.com.au/3/friedkin.html

Saw Highway Hypnosis when Liz screened it at the Music Box last year and it immediately became one of my favorite movies ever, in sensibility sort of “James Benning does Cecelia Condit” but still evades clean summary like that, masterpiece of video art inflected with SOV horror
