Welcome Readers! A quick post today, I just wanted to note that skin flick director Gerard Damiano passed away. This happened a couple of months back, but I didn't hear or read of it until recently. He was famous for directing "Deep Throat", credited by many as the film that made porn mainstream. I hear this film referenced a lot in 70's stuff, (people asking others if they'd seen it or want to go to see it together, etc), not to mention the use of the name in the infamous Watergate scandal. That actually confused me a lot before. When I became aware of porn and I'd hear in school about the Watergate scandal, I wondered which used the name first. I didn't think it could have been the porn title being used as a name in such a serious case, but in the end it really was exactly that. Strange times those must have been! I watched it once on tape, it was an odd movie to me. It's sort of a comedy, not really something that would make me feel horny, or at least that's what I rememeber of it. I found that sweet Andy Warhol-ish art pictured above depicting Ms Lovelace doing her thing in the movie. Nice!
