after spending nearly two years in production, the documentary 'inside deep throat' was screened at sundance earlier this week. dana harris of daily variety (last spotted at porn maestro eon mckai's vegas party) gave the docu a very favorable review and even cnn noted that the flick was on the tips of nearly all tongues in park city.
i met the producers of the documentary when they came to the big porn show to do research and meet some of the old skool porn stars. i remember introducing them to my friend johnny keyes because johnny is an expert when it comes to being in the center of controversy. johnny's like the jackie robinson of porn. he's the brother that broke the color barrier and became the first person of color to fuck a white woman on film. but while johnny and 'behind the green door' was a very sophisticated fuck flick, 'deep throat' was a cheaply-made farce that was somewhat erotic at best.
regardless of what critics or pundits (like myself) have to wax poetic, its the audience that has the final say. and audiences everywhere went bonkers for linda lovelace's fellating revelation to the tune of $600 million in box office receipts. can you imagine seeing lines around the block outside of your local porn theater? do you even have a local porn theater anymore? the closest one to me is the tomcat in WeHo and they only screen movies like 'a man's bulge' and 'HUNGarian men', if you catch my drift.
fresh from sundance, 'inside deep throat' will be screened at the historic egyptian theater on hollywood blvd this wednesday nite. i'm pretty stoked on it because i've put in some time with several of the producers and know they want to do justice to porn as a cultural icon. in some small measure, the help i gave them or the heads i hooked them up with may have contributed to what is shown on screen, which is kinda sweet. so who wants to see the movie with me?
