I like what I have been reading here very much. I can't think of a contribution other than to say that in the late 60s and early 70s many of cinema's biggest names toyed with the idea of a big budget pornographic film. Folks like Mike Nichols, Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman, Ken Russell,etc. The difference is that in those days cinema was experiencing a rebirth, having thrown off the shackles of the Hays Code in America, and pornography was then looked upon as the next logical step in that liuberation. These were serious minds, seriously looking to delve into and explore human sexuality through projected sound and image. Tragically though pornography proved much more ameniable to formuliac corporate interest rather than serious artistic endeavor. But that in itself is interesting and illuminating, i submit. Pornography is anti-art, but in its minimalist pure product nature it inadvertently speaks volumes about the culture and populace it courts. It's the equivalent of the "value menu" items on our fast food establishments. I further submit that Aurora Snow's upsidedown snotladen face desperately trying to breathe and communicate around an assaultive penis is as potent an image, deliberately or not, as the bone tossed into the air by the prehuman jump cut into a spacecraft in Kubrick's '2001'.
