A lot of the theaters
that became nudie or porno theaters originally were art theaters. We used to
call them "coffee" houses because all the intellectuals and
pseudo-intellectuals would go in to see foreign films with subtitles and would
sip coffee and talk about how Bunuel is doing this and that, and now he's in
Cahiers du Cinema - all of that bullshit. Around 1955 And God Created Woman
came along, starring Brigitte Bardot. Suddenly these nice little coffeehouses
that showed these pictures with the subtitles had lines around the corner. The
theater manager said, "My god, what happened? Where did all these people
come from?" Well, they'd all come in to see Miss Bardot's bare ass!
''You ... you out there. Do you know what horror is?
Smug, confident, secure because you're sane. Do you know what madness is, or
how it strikes? Have you seen the demons that surge through the corridors of
the crazed mind? Do you know that in the world of the insane you will find a
kind of truth more terrifying than fiction? A truth that will shock you!"
This book is unbelievably rich. Thanks for the digital version!

ReplyDeleteGlad you dig it guys, but the thanks go to whoever took the time to scan this great book.
ReplyDeleteThe blog is great-love the books selected-hard to find stuff and new authors I was previously unfamiliar with.A request for Eric Burdens book I Used To Be An Animal-out of print and goes for ridiculous money for used copies-again thanks for all the hard work.
