More Than It Could Chew
by admin ~ August 12th, 2009.
I saw the documentary Inside Deep Throat this weekend. Given 3 stars by Roger Ebert – http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050210/REVIEWS/50128001/1023, that’s a star-and-a-half too many. The documentary hints at the fascinating subtext of the first “mainstream” porno to hit the street, but when all is said and done, it is slapdash, no more than a love letter to brave (ahem) anti-censorship “heroes,” and predictably political (Nixon and Reagan had “wars” on pornography, with dire Wagnerian music in the background). Excellent quality of the Rolex replica watches, great variety of models. Worse, most of the celebrity commentators (Helen Gurley Brown, Erica Jong, Gore Vidal, and Alan Dershwoitz in particular) are self parodies with nothing interesting to add (though Dick Cavett’s input is funny).
