With Conan getting the shaft from NBC, he's recently been considering a turn from television to hard-core porn--"a classier business with better people."
Here he announces some of the titles we can expect from his new venture:
Alright, you're hearing it here... we're calling dibs on NBC Lawyer Gang Bang: The Backend Deal for CineKink 2011!
We've been admiring The Auteur from afar for quite awhile now and we're delighted to give this sweetly smutty film a stellar CineKink showcase slot--Saturday, February 28 @ 9 PM.
Last night as we settled in to watch the Republic National Convention--nothing wrong with a little bi-partisan masochism!--we thought back to a favorite, short video that was once making the rounds.
A stand-out at the recent Tribeca Film Festival, we've got our eyes on The Auteur, the sweet and raucous story of Arturo Domingo, the one-time leading director of art-porn cinema (Five Easy Nieces, Requiem for a Wet Dream, Full Metal Jack-Off), who finds himself at an all-time low in both career and romance.
The movie is a perfect fit for CineKink and we'll naturally be looking to include it in our next fest. But that's still a ways off - approximately 291 days as of right now, but who's counting? - and we'd love for it to find the audience it deserves in the meantime.
And you can help! Currently in the running for a slot in From Here to Awesome, a new festival that strives to cut through a lot of distribution mumbo-jumbo and make films more widely and directly available, you can take a gander at the submission trailer for The Auteur below and then make your desires known right here:
(It plays a much larger role in the actual movie, but watch for a few cameo appearances of the Clinton Street Theater, past and possibly future home to CineKink: PDX!)
Over at Sugarbank, they're pulled together an entertaining montage of fondly satirical send-ups of that time-honored classic, the sex education video. Among them you'll find the scene from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, in which bored schoolboys grudgingly recount various methods of foreplay and look on as headmaster John Cleese demonstrates sex with his wife.
Also included is this disturbingly erotic animation, What the Heck is Happening to My Genitals?, featuring Amy Sedaris and her puberty pals:
