Xxx the Video Tape Scandal! xxX Therapist Dan: “Did you have any comrades other than Runt?” Me: “In fact, I did. Nonetheless, he was four years older than me.” Therapist Dan: “Tell me about him.” Me: “Well, one summer Sunday we got into some mischief.” Therapist Dan: “What kind of mischief?” I froze as I overheard my parents pull up to the driveway. “Oh my God, My parents are home!” I yelled. “Jeremy, my parents just got home! We need to get that tape out of the VCR!” I shrieked with angst. Before we had a moment to remove the tape, my parents ambled inside with groceries. Jeremy only had enough time to switch off the T.V. and stop the tape! The tape remained inside the VCR! My 14-year-old next-door neighbor, Jeremy Panther, befriended me as soon as we moved into our meth lab home. We hung out inside the residence when my folks left (No, he didn’t stroke my special place, okay). …show more content…
We befell boredom one Sunday afternoon.
So Jeremy asked if there were any cool movies to view. As he sifted amidst loose VHS tapes underneath the family room T.V. he discovered something rather stunning! It was an 80’s aerobics video cassette tape! He said with enthusiasm, “Hey, this looks cool. Let’s watch it!” When he placed it inside the VCR, our eyes bugged out at a scene of a young woman with brunette frizzy big 80’s hair gagging on a huge, fat, vein embossed and wet slimy cock! At that age, I thought it looked cool… like the most disgusting and interesting cool movie ever. But, after a few more uncomfortable scenes it looked boring and gross to me. Jeremy didn’t concur and was completely amazed by it. I didn’t get
it. Therapist Dan: “I’m guessing you didn’t reach the beginning of puberty yet. You were probably a late bloomer.” Me: “Dude, I was only ten years old. Where was I with the story?” Therapist Dan: “You were in the middle of viewing your first porn movie.” Me: “Oh yes. So confused with my reaction Jeremy said, “What’s wrong with you, dude?! This is awesome! We didn’t even have to dig around your parent’s bedroom to find it!” Then he snapped and said, “Fine, if you don’t like it, then I’ll just watch it in here for a while and you can wait out there.” He closed the door, kicked me out of the room and told me to wait outside in the 70’s style kitchen. He was in there for a long time and I didn’t want to wait anymore so I knocked and asked if he was done yet. He just said, “No, Not yet. Hold on a minute and don’t come in!” I was tired of waiting and opened the door. To my surprise, I saw Jeremy sprint half naked with his Bonner bouncing up and down as he held onto a jar of Vaseline and dove behind the sofa. He yelled, “Dude, what the hell? I wasn’t ready and I said to wait… shit!” I didn’t know what the hell just happened, I was so shocked (that’ll teach me to stab light sockets with a fork). Suddenly I heard my parents pull up to the driveway. “Oh my God, My parents are home!” I yelled. “Jeremy, my parents just got home! We need to get that tape out of the VCR!” I screamed with anxiety. Therapist Dan: “Did you realize he was masturbating?” Me: “Of course I realize that now, but at the time I didn’t know what to think.” Therapist Dan: “How do you feel about the fact that you caught him literally with his pants down? Did it excite you, confuse you or, were you apathetic?” Me: “I’m not gay okay and it didn’t excite me. It confused me more than anything.” Therapist Dan: “Very good. I believe your parents were about to walk into the house.” Yeah, so my parents walked into the house with groceries and all Jeremy had time to do was turn off the T.V. and stop the tape! It was still inside the VCR! My parents asked us what we were up to. We just smiled and said, “Just hanging out and watching TV.” Then we nervously and leisurely walked outside. I said, “Jeremy, we can’t leave that tape in there! My parents will know we watched it!” He just chuckled and said, “He, he, ha, maybe you can get it out when they aren’t looking. I don’t know what to tell you man, it’s not my problem, ha, ha.” Sure enough my parents found it in the VCR before I could get at it. It was a very awkward talk at our small oval kitchen table. They both inquired about where I found it and what I thought about it. I think it was their version of the birds and the bees or cocks in mouths? I replied, “It looked disgusting and I don’t want to see it ever again.” They were very calm about the whole thing, but I was extremely uncomfortable. I couldn’t wait for their talk with me to be over. I wasn’t at fault because it wasn’t hiding in their room that time. I was off the hook, but talking about that porno was punishment enough. Ironically, that bestiality porno of a woman gagging on a rooster became my masturbating pleasure all through middle school and some of high school. That is until I discovered Internet Porn! Ah, boys grow up so fast. Therapist Dan: “So true. I have two boys of my own. Have you ever joined toastmasters?” Me: “Once. Why?” Therapist Dan: “The way you told that story was as if you had training.” Me: “Thanks.” Therapist Dan: “Yeah, I didn’t catch one umm, uh, you know, like or any crutch words at all.” Me: “Um, Right on.” Oh, this one other incident occurred in September of 2008. It was another time involving porn and embarrassment with my parents. One of the most humiliating days of my life was when Buck found my trail of porn sites in his search engine! He sat with my momma at his computer naming all the websites… monstersofcock.com, bigcockteenaddiction.com, oh and mydaughterisfuckingablackdude.com (wow, one website without the word cock in it!). He actually asked why I looked at those websites and what kinds of people were telling me about them! So I told him a bunch of farmers and a blond bitch. He knew exactly why I looked at them, but he just wanted to know why his keyboard was always sticky. Needless to say I was banned from ever using his computer again.
The story starts out with Kevins birthday party, at his birthday party kevin receives a camera from his family. A few days later Kevin learns that the camera doesn't work quite right. At first whenever he took a picture it came out as the same thing over and over. It was a big black dog running in front of a white picket fence. Then Kevin and his father have a discussion on wether or not to keep the camera, Kevin decides to keep it. The next day Kevin brings the camera into Pop Merrill the man who owns the shop where the camera was bought. Pop tells Kevin to bring the camera back in the morning and he will take a look at it. So Kevin goes home and has an idea he tries three other brands of film to see if that changed anything. He took five pictures a piece with each film, they all came out as the dog picture.
This is an ironic and unfortunate example of a film that would have really been considered a lot better than it is if it were not for the book upon which it is based. It is clear that the film is strong and that it is well made, but when compared to Shelley's novel, it's really a pretty sad mess. The film by itself is more than able to captivate and impress, but to someone who knows the original story, it is a weak attempt to bring the story of Frankenstein and his monster to the big screen.
Suspense embodied this film and luckily during the late 1960's Hollywood was at a time where filmmakers were able to push the limits. Many religious groups were outraged with the movie but if it weren't for the work of Polanski in Rosemary's Baby, classic horror films, such as The Exorcist, and other suspense films would cease to exist.
On August 12th, 2004 New Jersey Governor James McGreevey became this nation's first openly gay state governor. Several moments after he stated, "I am a gay American", he succumbed to intense political and public pressure by announcing his resignation from New Jersey's most powerful position. This announcement and resignation came after a week of intense allegations that McGreevey sexually harassed a male colleague whom he had appointed. While American politics are not foreign to sexual scandal, the political destruction and individual defeat which McGreevey currently faces is poignantly unique. Throughout his career, McGreevey has been formally investigated for unethical political practices on at least 4 occasions. One of the current investigations includes allegations of fraudulent campaign finance practices and nepotism within upper end political appointments. Despite the severity of these allegations, it was the charge of sexual assault from a male employee that forced his resignation and retirement from politics. In order to understand the severity of the sexual harassment allegations against McGreevey, it is necessary to look at the situation through the eyes of Rubin and Foucault. Not only did McGreevey's actions reflect the social sexual hierarchy described by Rubin, but through his secrecy and discretion McGreevey disrupted the powerful discourse of his position with political and public realms.
It was unconventionally rewarding and an interesting comedy. Taking the film noir’s themes, Shane Black created a world with weird turns and twists of its own. The main protagonist did not have to be the selfless and arrogant detective. Sexuality was well respected, in a comedic way you can say, and even praised. It is a society with many vices, but that some way or another the characters find a way out of it. The woman presented in the film, Harmony, portrayed femme fatale characteristics, however, she was not tied down to any gender role she did not want to be part of. At the end, the purpose of the film is not only to ridicule, but to exhibit a new world adapted to different
The great director clouded his intent and motives by reportedly stating that the entire film was nothing more than one huge joke. No one laughed. Instead they cringed in their seats, waiting for the next assault on their senses. The violence and bloodletting of PSYCHO may look tame to those who have grown up on Jason and Freddy Krueger, but no one had ever seen anything like it in 1960.
Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac (2013) sparked controversy even before its stateside release during a matinee screening of Disney’s Frozen (Buck/Lee, 2013) in Tampa, Florida. The usual routine began as the projectionist prepared to screen the film: the lights of the cinema began to dim, the projection screen turned black, and the usual filler of cartoons and trailers started rolling. And then something unusual happened. According to one unsuspecting grandmother, “They put in the filler, it looked like Steamboat Willie, the old Mickey Mouse cartoon, and then all of a sudden it goes into this other scene” (Guardian, “Nymphomaniac Trailer”). This “other scene” was the red-band teaser for Nymphomaniac, described by Julie Miller of Vanity Fair as “the most graphic movie preview of all time—thanks in part to visuals of former child star Shia LaBeouf nude and engaged in multiple sexual activities” (Vanity Fair, “Explicit Sex Film”). Miller’s description of the trailer, however, is mostly incorrect. Very little do we see of LaBeouf’s character in the red-band trailer, neither “nude” nor engaged in the act of sex. Instead we catch various clips of Young Joe, performed by Stacy Martin, who is at one point seen fully nude and whose vagina is superimposed against the film’s title (stylized as NYMPH()MANIAC) at the start of the teaser. Despite his intentions in line with the Puzzy Power movement, von Trier’s male gaze complicates his presentation of female sexuality in Nymphomaniac. The logic behind the metanarrative of the film suggests that Joe’s (Charlotte Gainsbourg) salvation is ultimately afforded by male characters, most explicitly through Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård), Jerôme (Shia LaBeouf), and “K” (Jamie Bell). Although Nymphomaniac ask...

However times have changed. In present times our society is more relaxed and is prone to these raunchy movies. We as movie viewers are more ready for these vulgar movies and know that each movie in this category tries to be more vulgar and frank than its predecessor merely to gain attention and snag more viewers. One problem with these movies being so frank and vulgar in present times is that they fail to mention that all of this casual sex could lead to someone getting a STD or aids.
Bruce and I were becoming better friends as each day passed, and I know this experience is what made our friendship what it is today. After this trip, we continue to be duck hunting buddies. Hunt after hunt, he would call the ducks into our decoys.
Days went by, working in the small, little shop. Jeremy started figuring out everything and what goes on. One day, after working as hard as a dog, Eli told Jeremy that he could leave a few hours early because he noticed Jeremy was exhausted. Eli asked Jeremy that before he got on his horse to go back home, he had to clean up the materials he was using. Jeremy then ran towards his work station to clean up the mess he had made. After ten minutes of gathering the cotton he made a mess with, Jeremy had to put away the spikes that were used to separate the cotton from the seeds.
Over the past few decades, there has been an abundance of people faced with being a victim of blackmail or a threat that will ruin their reputation. If someone personally hasn’t dealt with this, they at least know someone that has experienced the harassment of a former lover through the sharing and exposure of inappropriate videos and images. These people are at fault to Revenge Pornography, also known as the Relationship Privacy Act. Revenge Pornography is the uploading, and or distribution of sexually explicit content of an individual without their permission or consent.
The late 1920s was a turbulent time of unknowns for the motion picture business due to the rapidly approaching advent of sound, which threw a wrench into a well-oiled machine that had been making silent films exclusively for nearly two decades. Studios, whether they liked it or not, were being forced to confront these new technological challenges and expectations head-on. As a result of the two versions that were ultimately created, Blackmail has the unique distinction of being both Hitchcock's last silent film as well as his first talkie.
This movie evoke many feelings in me. The first feelings that this movie evoked in me was disgust and horror. When I realized what those men were doing to that little girl, I was disgusted and horrified. As the daughter of a rape victim and a
The house phone started to ring. “We have a house phone?” I questioned myself rubbing my eyes giving off a weary sigh. When did I fall asleep? I headed downstairs and it stopped. Again it rang and I guessed it was on the bottom shelf hence lack of usage. Pulling off the dusty cloth I grasped the telephone and answered.
