PUBLISHER'S PAGE
From time to time this magazine runs into problems that could affect an individual
in the same way, and when that happens I like to pass along the information. What
I'm referring to is Eastman Kodak and the censorship they impose upon the consumer,
who they've practically got monopolized. When you send film to Kodak they may,
or may not develop and return it to you. It all depends upon what the pictures
are of. If Eastman Kodak doesn't like your pictures, they won't print them and
give them back. And you can bet that if you send in any "spread shots"
of your wife, girlfriend, models, or whatever, you can say good-bye to them. While
someone at Kodak will probably be drooling over them in private, in public they
condemn you for them and impose their own particular brand of dictatorship. I
therefore suggest that if you're going to take any nude pictures, you use Ektachrome
film. If you use either Kodachrome, or Kodacolor, Kodak must develop them. Ektachrome
film can be developed by other labs other than Kodak, and they usually do just
as good a job without the self-imposed moralism.
Speaking of pictures, a recent movie release called Caligula, an epic about the
life and times of a perverted Roman emperor features a lot of sex and sexual overtones,
but very little else. Financed by Penthouse Magazine Caligula's budget supposedly
exceeded 17 million dollars. I would just like to go on record saying that almost
any student out of film school with that kind of budget and a professional crew
could have done a better job. Caligula used sex to draw an audience, but the sex
wasn't real, total, or sensual, it was freakish and exploitive and there was an
excess of bloody violence which was disgusting and uncalled for. An example was
a scene depicting a blow-job which concluded with the man having his cock sliced
off immediately after coming. For a long time established producers in the X-rated
field have been eschewing the combination of sex and violence, and in this film,
probably stemming from a lack of originality more than anything else, the director,
producer, and/or script called for a blatant and senseless use of violence. But
at least this movie is an example of big money being spent on sex in movies with
big name "straight" stars in the lead parts, and that's a step in the
right direction, even though an unsteady one in this case.
For some good news, the response to our "Win Vanessa Del Rio For A Weekend
In New York City" contest has been tremendous and we are sorting through
the applications daily. Our first winner will be announced in our October '80
issue, and because the response has been so good we are now in the process of
offering another weekend in New York City with a different X-rated star. I will
have more details on this contest in next month's issue of CINEMA-X.
Also, I would like our Canadian readers to know that the March '80 issue of CINEMA-X
was not allowed across the border because Canadian custom officials decided you
should not see it. If you would like a copy of the March '80 (or any other back
issue) send $3.95 (including postage and handling) for each issue and we'll make
sure you receive them quickly.
This act of censorship is especially ironic when you compare it to the opinion
of CINEMA-X held by Playboy Magazine. They recently sent me a letter and I would
like to share it with you. "After receiving our third issue of CINEMA-X Magazine,
we must now write and thank you. Being avid followers of adult movies, video,
and home movies, we truly appreciate your great magazine. It's really a tremendous
aid in keeping up with the latest things available on the market. Thanks again
very much, we really just love getting CINEMA-X." — Playboy Magazine.
Now — that's entertainment! |
