“Made by a group of film students at the University of Washington in Seattle, this until recently considered “lost” hardcore experimental feature is a fascinating example of a commercial piece of avant-garde cinema. The scant narrative involves two women who pick up a man for a weekend of sex and drugs with far-from-innocent intentions. Filled with psychedelic optical effects, surreal dream sequences and erratic editing, The Last Bath is both a rare forgotten gem from the golden age of underground cinema and a wonderful example of regional American cinema.” (-from docfilms)
The Last Bath will play at the Grand Illusion cinema on June 17 & 18, and 24 & 25, 2011 (late night shows). Check out their site for a little more info on the movie.

Two things here: when did it become common convention to spell “employee” employee? Because for all of time it appears what we now spell as “employee” left an “e” off the word, resulting in the word “employe”. You find “employe” all over the archives of yore.
Also, here is an example of the porn industry getting into the swing of things and normalizing itself. You think porn took off because of the web? I beg to differ. It took off because, I am beginning to believe, that organized crime has had a hand in every facet of the media for decades. This is a story meant to “grease the skids” as it were, before there was an Internet, but to sell hard copy porn which was extremely profitable then as it is now — I have no idea why. The media is probably one big incestuous entity. Porn and news are probably viewed profitability-wise as the same goddamn thing to the long standing media tycoons.
