It was another beautiful weekend, but I spent it indoors tearing down walls and ripping out carpeting (more on that later). And just in time for the young gay men to start experiencing a bit of spring fever, Falcon rolls out "Winter Heat", directed by John Bruno. I don't care what time of year it is, Roman Heart looks adorable and sinewy on the cover of "Winter Heat". And straight boy gay for pay Nash Lawler looks really beefy and buffed wearing long johns in his Falcon debut - IF you can get past the visual of him eating pussy in real life... Falcon's "Winter Heat" stars Roman Heart, Aden Jaric, Jordan Jaric, Justin Jameson, Eddie Diaz, Jude Collin, Nash Lawler, Kai Ford, and Vinnie D’Angelo

You will be hearing all about this for the next few weeks on Entertainment Tonight, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, CNN, and every media outlet. Vivid Pictures has allegedly purchased a bootleg home made 8mm movie of guitar legend Jimi Hendrix having sex in a motel room with two girls sometime in the late 1960's. The frame grab below is about as sharp an image as you're going to get, so it's hard to say if it is real or not. They wanted to bring in some "experts" to verify if the man in the movie is actually Jimi Hendrix, so who would they dig up? Groupies, of course! A couple "loose" girls that had sex with Jim Hendrix back in the gay (who are now senior citizens) claim it's him, but others claim otherwise. They also interviewed a woman who made plaster castings of rock star penises. She showed the plaster casting of Jimi Hendrix's penis that she molded in 1968 to verify it. I am suspicious as to the validity of this movie simply because it took 40 years to unearth the movie. Why wasn't it released earlier? You can watch it online right now to see for yourself. Now that there is some renewed interest in vintage porn movies, I guess we better get moving on releasing my collection of old vintage gay porn movies on 8mm!

Saturday night I attended a fundraiser for the SF Fog, our local gay rugby team. It seems rugby is the new homoerotic sport these days. A couple years ago I watched a practice match with the Rebellion, the gay rugby team from LA. There were some pretty hot guys on that team, but gay rugby in general has gotten way more popular since then, so the San Francisco team has really attracted a very sexy group of players. They've even started a women's team, so there were a lot of super butch dykes at the party, too. I got there late and missed the spanking and man-auctions, but everyone was waiting in anticipation to see "The Full Monty". The video above shows the big production number in its entirety, and yes, they strip down to nothing but neckties and naked cocks at the end! A $30 donation to see young gay athletes strip naked? I'd say it was money well spent! The sample photo on the right was taken after The Full Monty when they auctioned off underwear worn by team members. Morning show hosts Fernando and Greg from radio station 92.7 were MC's and pulled in up to $150 each for pairs of used undies. Rugby has never been a popular sport here in the States. I remember back when I was in college, "Rugby 101" was always one of those obscure course offerings from the Phys. Ed. Department, but I went to a small Midwest university where everyone majored in smoking pot. They probably never got enough enrollments to actually offer the class. Soccer was another obscure sport back then, but fast forward to today and guess how American soccer teams are hoping to popularize the sport? They recruited David Beckham to make the sport sexy. I think gay rugby is taking the same approach. Now if only I could recruit enough young, sweaty, athletic, sinewy, rugby jocks to do a gay porn movie... hmmm. The key position on a rugby team is called the "hooker", so we're halfway there! The rest of the photos from SF Fog fundraiser are in the Lavender Lounge VIP Room under Paparazzi Pix, and more fun FREE videos are available at Lavender Lounge Video Blog, (with embed codes readily available to share the video on other gay porn blog sites).

"An erect phallus is a symbol of life, a cross a symbol of death." As reported in Gay Porn Times, legendary gay porn director Jean Daniel Cadinot passed away of a heart attack on Wednesday, April 23 at age 64. Below is his final blog entry: "My final bow Wednesday 23 April 2008 Dear friends, critics and others, If you're reading these words I will have put down my camera, switched off the lights, drawn the curtains and taken my final bow. May all the efforts and work of a whole life, the quest for the moment of pure truth in the sublime communion of two beings under the spell of the undefinable desire for the other, inspire those who inherit my heart. The human being is made such that it only remembers the good and the beautiful, therefore I leave you with a free mind and a head overflowing with a myriad of young men, sometimes strong and vigorous, sometimes fragile and sensitive. All of them gave me these unforgettable moments of their most tender intimacy, moments that only a few really know but which I made in to images to allow you to admire them over and over again. Never were success or personal fortune my creed. You offered me gratitude, and I thank you for that because I wanted nothing else. Cadinot salutes you. Remember a kindly fellow, an extreme observer given to rages and contradiction but who listened to others and was full of love." His career in erotica began in 1972 when he first began to shoot nude photographs and over the next six years produced some 17 photo albums that sold several hundred thousand copies. He formed French Art in 1978 with the release of TENDRES ADOLESCENTS. He viewed filmmaking as gay activism: “”The still photo became too limiting. I quickly reached its boundaries and I had a desire for action and movement,” he once said. “I wanted to go further, to tell our collective stories as gay men. Video enabled me to do just that. I have to say that when I’m shooting photos I prefer to work as an artist and make artistic photos because otherwise it’s not long before it gets pornographic and I don’t like that. In that sense there was a progressive evolution towards films in order for me to tell stories about men. In a way it was my first gay activism to illustrate our sexual stories.” Jean-Daniel Cadinot’s films were celebrated for their sensual imagery and plot-driven narratives. He would write, produce and direct some 60 films over three decades; he won Best Director from the GAYVN Awards in 1991 for THE TRAVELING JOURNEYMAN, and Best Director honors (in 1997 and 2001) from the Venus Awards in Berlin. In 2001 he was inducted into the GAYVN Hall of Fame. JEAN DANIEL CADINOT MOVIES AVAILABLE AT TLA VIDEO

I don't know why, but for the past few months I've had a secret desire to buy a motorhome. I've begun sneaking glances at Craig's List - not for the Men For Men listings, but to look at the listings "RV's For Sale". I look at way too much porn in my regular job, so when I want to web surf for something taboo and naughty, I go right to the motorhomes. The boyfriend rolls his eyes when I talk about it, but I think he'll come over to the darkside once I take him away for a relaxing weekend somewhere in the woods. Apparently, I'm not the only one with a motorhome fetish either. Falcon Studios has been renting motorhomes for their Jocks series of "Road Trips". In Volume 4, the smooth, sinewy muscle jocks take a trip down the California coast to the scenic Big Sur. I've had the pleasure of driving down Highway 1 along the coast from San Francisco to LA only once, but the scenery around Big Sur is something I'll never forget. The word "awesome" is so over-used, but it's one of the few words that can describe it. The free sample video from Road Trip 4 Big Sur focuses on just the hardcore fucking, sucking, cum in your face, ass-rimming aspects of the movie, but I am hoping they got lots of scenery, too. Take six horny dudes out on the road. Turn them loose and watch what happens. Road Trip Vol. 4 is more than just a journey down to Big Sur. It’s a sexual tsunami on the California coast where unabashed and unrelenting cocksucking, assmunching and fucking climax with torrential splashes of cum. Cast features Shane Erickson, Scott Fremont, Jason Michaels, Orlando Dawson, Tristan Phoenix, and Brandon Matthews. FALCON XXX - BUY DVD - MORE FREE FALCON GAY PORN

Hard Choice Awards - The 14th Annual Hard Choice Awards (for films reviewed in 2007) Onan the Vulgarian continues to put out his list of awards, though his home base magazine, X Factor has just morphed into XX Factor. With these awards, though, he proudly proclaims, "No party, no fanfare, no shindig, no porn stars, no statuettes. No lifetime achievement awards, no drag queens, no envelopes, no acceptance speeches, no Ms. Congeniality. Just the year's best in all-male porn. Guaranteed to keep you hard." In “Junkman’s Obbligato,” beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti wrote that he yearned to go to a place “where turtles win.” I like to think of 2007 as the year that turtles won. Not to disparage the hares of the industry, it was gratifying (and I hope readers agree, whether or not their names or their favorites are on this list) to see so much variety in 2007. “Little guys” produced some mighty big results, and “big guys” who never won before surged into greater prominence. Chief among the latter was Raging Stallion. In a time when pundits warn of the demise of DVDs, producer-director Chris Ward and co-director Ben Leon had the cojones to mastermind a 6-disc, 20-hour sexual marathon called Grunts, and to sell it for over $100. It simply blew everyone out of the water; not only was it good, it was very, very good — and it sold like hotcakes. Grunts is now the War and Peace (War and Piece?) of gay porn, and it’s the line drawn in the sand for those who say the DVD is dead. Kristen Bjorn is another perfect example of the turtle metaphor. To quote another poet, Gerard Manley Hopkins, “Sheer plod makes plow down sillion shine,” or slow and steady wins the race. This director has been turning out masterpiece upon masterpiece, for twenty years. Perhaps it’s because people are accustomed to expecting nothing less than brilliance that not a lot gets said when Bjorn delivers it. In 2007, he gave us left-right knockout punch with El Rancho and Rocks & Hard Places. Other studios and other directors continue to produce high quality films that are both art and erotica — something that cannot be matched by scenes shot for websites. Lucas Kazan gives us lust and romance; Michael Lucas gives us complex characters, whether tragic or comic, for whom sex and life are inseparable. If I don’t name anyone else, it’s not because there are none to name, but because there’s no way to properly acknowledge the value of everyone’s contributions. Several performers galvanized attention in 2007, and deciding on a performer of the year really was a hard choice. Jesse Santana got the nod, not only because of the variety of his work for several studios and online producers, but for his sexual versatility, a couple of fine thespian turns and the reliability with which he gave one compelling performance after another. Steve Cruz was an easier choice for newcomer. The perfect physical foil to Santana, Cruz is a guy who openly relishes anything sexual, and who’s giving back to the industry and to the community with his own safer sex website and educational outreach. Visit him at How I Roll. Studios outside of the USA made such an exceptional showing in 2007 that I decided to give separate awards to Film, Director and Actor for films shot on foreign turf. This is the first time the Hard Choice Awards have recognized work initially produced for Internet consumption, but if you’ve paid attention to the stuff the Bryan Ockert is doing with Chaos Men, you know that not only has he created new niches in a genre where you’d figure there are none left, but he’s put sex between the ears again. Last year, Titan Media founder Bruce Cam said farewell to the industry. This man is so formidable with a camera in his hand that anything in his viewfinder lays down at his feet and gives up its wonders. Cam has packed up his camera and director’s chair in favor of other pursuits, exiting grandly with Breakers, which will certainly factor into next year’s Hard Choice Awards. And Barcelona’s Private Man, which appears several times in the list below, decided to cease production of its gay film lines; that was disappointing. XX Factor LIST OF WINNERS AND RUNNERS-UP AFTER THE JUMP

Michael Lucas's hit comedy "The Intern" is now available on pay per view exclusively at MaleFlixxx.tv. The producers made it very clear that this was an "intentional" comedy because there is so much crap released in porn that becomes UN-intentionally funny. This one is a comic send up of "Ugly Betty" and it's really well done. But that's not all! A contest to win an “Intern” prize pack is part of an integrated marketing campaign that will promote “The Intern” to Maleflixxx users. Customers that purchase a $69.99 viewing package will have the opportunity to win a prize pack, which includes a DVD copy of the director’s editions of “The Intern” and “Gigolo,” both from Lucas Entertainment, as well as “The Intern” star Ben Andrews’ signature dildo. Going on coffee runs, copying documents, answering phones, typing emails... and stocking up on lube? When you`re an intern at a gay adult entertainment company, it`s all in a day`s work. Lucas Entertainment exclusive Ben Andrews stars in the sex comedy "The Intern," where Botox-injecting bosses (Michael Lucas), sassy assistants (new Lucas exclusive Christian Cruz), and beefy delivery men (Matt Cole) abound. "Ugly" Benny maneuvers his way through the wacky, sexy offices of Trojan Studios, but his co-workers soon discover he may have a "bigger" talent in his pants. Also starring Lucas exclusives Jonathan Vargas and Ray Star, plus Derrick Hanson, Jason Ridge, Jimmy, and Zack Randall. Written and Directed by Tony Dimarco. With his totally "uncool" attire and wide-rimmed glasses, nerdy Benny (Lucas exclusive Ben Andrews) makes his way through the busy streets of New York City to the office of gay porn company Trojan Studios, where he wants to apply in person for an internship. Ben is mistakenly herded into a porn star casting call conducted by super-diva boss Alexander Mann (Michael Lucas) when all he really came for was the office internship. Sassy assistant Christian (Lucas exclusive Christian Cruz) apologizes for the mix-up and hires Benny on the spot. Benny`s first day on the job finds him getting coffee and assisting on a chaotic shoot between two hot models (Lucas exclusive Jonathan Vargas and hottie Jason Ridge). Alexander directs the cheesy dialogue and hot sex, which features the two models sucking each other`s huge dicks, flip-flop fucking, and taking on a huge black double-headed dildo. During the filming, Christian is shocked to notice a giant bulge forming in Ben`s pants. Back in the company stockroom, two beefy straight dudes (Jimmy and Zack Randall) are busy talking pussy while stacking boxes of Liquid Spanish Fly. Theya box, and as they clean up the green gooey mess, a strange urge brews between them… and before they know it they`re making out, sucking cock, licking ass, and fucking. Jimmy`s big uncut member drills Zack on the table top, and Zack discovers a talent for sucking his own dick while sucking Jimmy`s at the same time. The office gets a huge box delivered by hunky delivery guy Massimo (Matt Cole). Alexander (Michael Lucas) is pissed to hear that it is the oversized prototype for his dildo. Massimo sticks around for the signature and reveals to Alexander his ambition to be a porn star. Alexander auditions him on the office table with a heavy suck and fuck session that includes a "helicopter" spin. They negotiate an exclusive model contract right before their nuts burst in orgasm.

I think this is self-explanatory - and self-medicating. I think VividBlurry needs to add this to his combination Bodybuilding Supplements / Anti-Depression Regiment.

Jesse Metcalfe will forever be known as the sexy gardener from Desperate Housewives. I first got hooked on that show simply because of the beefcake shots of Jesse Metcalfe mowing the lawn shirtless and making it with Eva Longoria's character. Young stars often have one moment of outstanding beauty, and sooner than you think, the bloom is off the rose, or we just grow weary of him and move onto the next pretty young object of desire. There were rumors Jesse Metcalfe was a "problem" on the set of Desperate Housewives which caused him to get kicked off the show. Other gossip columnists loved to tease that his fifteen minutes were up. And there have also been reports of him awkwardly trying to force his way into clubs with the old line, "Don't you know who I am?" Bad form, darling. He has an ongoing feud with Perez Hilton because Perez loves to draw cum dribbles coming out of Jesse Metcalfe's mouth and make accusations about him being gay. As far as I'm concerned they're both assholes, but Jesse Metcalfe is at least HOT. Did I mention how TOTALLY HOT Jesse Metcalfe looks in these photos? Beefy, hairy chest, tattooed, bearded - yum. Or maybe it's just the vintage Corvette. That'll make anyone look sexier.

It's a bit premature to start promoting it, but The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are bringing Bingo back! After an exhaustive search for a new location, we will be holding our monthly Bingo at The Green Room at the Marines Memorial Building right across from City Hall in San Francisco. I don't have any other details other than Sister Barbi asked me to work on a piece of art for the poster. Since it's a "Revival" of Bingo, and the "Resurrection" of legalized gambling made so popular by generations of good Catholics, I chose a classic art piece entitled "The Ascension of Jesus" as the basis for the poster. It still needs a little work, but I sent out this rough draft over the weekend to the other Sisters for their reactions. Well, it was the talk of the town all weekend! If you thought the scandal about that Last Supper poster from Folsom Street Fair caused a stir, wait till this hits the internets! When the poster and publicity is all done, we're planning on sending a whole press packet right to the Bill Donahue from The Catholic League and Bill O'Reilly from Fox News. SF SISTERS OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE - SISTER ZSA ZSA'S PHOTOS

Gay for pay, straight guy fetish, closet cases, gonzo, bisexual, and numerous other terms are thrown around a lot lately. Yes, there is a certain fascination that some gay men have for "forbidden fruit" and the pursuit of having gay sex with straight men, or seeing two straight men get it on with each other. But for me, if two super hot guys want to exchange blowjobs or butt fuck each other, I don't care what their label is. Most are vague about how they label themselves, but for the men at Fratmen.tv and Fratpad.com, the label is "Abercrombie". I got a gallery of photos from the guys at Fratpad.com of Doug and Collin to promote their upcoming match-up this Saturday. If you are a member of the Lavender Lounge VIP Room, you can get a little taste of these two metrosexuals playing grab-ass. But if you want to see the whole sebang, join Fratpad.com to see them live and in captivity in a house somewhere in the South Pacific. Details to follow. Collin and Doug are best friends. They share everything. Eventually... somethings gonna happen. Be there when it does. They're going to do lap dances for each other, make out, blow each other and viewers will decide who's gonna swallow the other's load. Hey... that's what friends are for, right? Collin and Doug are gonna blow Sunday, April 20th at 7pm Pacific Time. This pay-per-view event is open to members of Fratmen.TV and Fratpad. Show is LIVE! and one night only... it will not be archived or re-shown. Tickets are $79. FRATMEN DOUG AND COLLIN: ALL ACCESS MEMBERSHIP - PREVIEW IN VIP ROOM

Last night I attended a screening at Artists Television Access's little storefront theater for a new series of films, The Revival House Classic Queer Cinema. The selections were "No Skin Off My Ass" by Bruce LaBruce and "Fireworks" by Kenneth Anger. I hadn't seen either and it was about damn time I did. The thing about going to see "art films" is it makes me want to go out and shoot more videos myself. Fuck. Just what I need - more goddamn "creative" projects! As it is, I can't shut my brain off from new ideas to actually finish the projects I am already knee-deep into. I think that's why I enjoy even low-tech projects like these two. I have to give the film makers credit for actually completing their movie and getting it out to the public, something I can't seem to be able to do. At best, I can often get it done, but it's the publicity part that sucks the most. I am a reluctant fan of Bruce LaBruce. He fascinates me because he's witty, campy, clever and oh-so hip. And he gets worshiped by other people who are also witty, campy, clever and hip, not to mention the disturbingly gorgeous boys that always seem to gravitate toward him. But I am a "reluctant" fan because he also comes off as a self-important snot. In reality, maybe he is, and maybe he isn't. I wouldn't know, I'm just a nerd on the sidelines. And guess what? Both movies, though disguised as 'art", are in reality gay porn. Kenneth Anger shot "Fireworks" in 1947 at age 17. He had no reference as to what gay porn should look like because it really didn't even exist yet. Bruce LaBruce got away with showing blowjobs, rimming, kinky BDSM, and multiple cum shots in his 1990 movie and screened at film festivals. How? Because it's art. I'm sure Bruce LaBruce didn't pay for any music rights to The Carpenters, but then again, ATA didn't pay LaBruce to screen the movie either. The bar owner sitting next to me wondered if the theater had a license to sell beer and wine, too. That's what I love about "underground cinema". If we all followed the rules, it wouldn't happen. Both movies were haunting and memorable. I could go on pontificating about them, but what can be said that hasn't been written already? Besides, I've got my own shit to plug. I am an artist, too, dammit! The Revival House Classic Queer Cinema At Artist Television Access

It's interesting to note when a mainstream gay organization like a magazine, charity or in this case, a gay film festival, acknowledges someone from the adult video industry. Normally, mainstream gay organizations pretend that being "gay" has nothing to do with the actual sex act, hoping to not frighten away Ford, Verizon, or Miller Beer as sponsors. As reported at Xbiz, for the first time in its 23-year history, the Torino GLBT Film Festival will pay tribute to a personality from the gay porn world. Parker Williams, who has performed in over 30 gay titles and directed Raging Stallion Studios’ “Lube Job” in 2005, is the first American porn star to be given such an honor. Although he has made a sizable contribution to the industry, Parker Williams is certainly not the first name you'd think of connected with American made gay porn. Normally, Michael Lucas is the one tapped for these things lately. I have a feeling one of the Italians gets turned on by tall, beefy hairy daddies and maybe he has a little crush on Parker Williams? The festival, which is also known as “Da Sodoma a Hollywood,” takes place from April 17-25. “After 23 years, the Gay & Lesbian Film Festival in Torino is one of the most influential in Europe, seated in the arts center of Italy,” Williams said. “The organization decided — after realizing the influence gay porn has on gay society — to open the venue to the American gay porn industry with the intent of spotlighting a specific individual. It turns out that I’ll be the first recipient of this honor. I’m thrilled beyond belief.” Williams’ first film was Catalina Video's “Street Date” in 2001. “I wish I could talk of a story depicting me sitting in a soda shop while being discovered,” he said, “but the reality is that I needed the cash, and I knew porn was a perfect second job for me. I will be forever thankful, however, to Josh Eliot at Catalina Video for opening the door for me.” During his career, he has worked with established companies such as Titan Media, Studio 2000, Channel 1 Releasing, Falcon, All Worlds Video and Raging Stallion. Williams will present his directorial debut film “Lube Job” at the festival. Giuseppe Savoca, programmer for the Turin GLBT Film Festival, wrote that email to Williams. “We have one [section of the Festival] called Porno Visions that this year will be focused on U.S. male pornography from a historical point of view, with screenings of films from the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s to the most recent ones,” Savoca wrote. “We thought to invite a famous porn star to introduce one or two films of his career, and I immediately thought of you, as you are one of the most loved porn stars by the Italian audience. We may be hearing more from Parker Williams after this, too. He indicated that he is in the beginning stages of starting a new production company with Matthew Rush. PARKER WILLIAMS MOVIES: MALE FLIXXX PAY PER SCENE - GAY VIDEO CAFE PAY PER MINUTE - ON DVD

Okay, I got sucked in again by the smoking hot guys at Randy Blue! I get so many emails from various studios pushing their stuff, a lot of times it just all becomes a blur of big dicks and perky buns. But, that damn email from Randy Blue made me stop in my tracks again when I saw Lucas Vick and Trent Davis. (And with that cute jawbone beard, it's nice to see they are hiring Amish guys, too...) As the email said, "Lucas Vick and Trent Davis are two horn dogs who just couldn't keep their hands off of each other." And you won't be able to keep your hands off your cock when you join.

TRAGEDY + TIME = COMEDY Have I stooped to tasteless jokes before? You bet. Here's one more. I found this old ad from a San Francisco entertainment newspaper I never heard of, The Pictorial Review, dated February 1953. (It was probably the equivalent of the SF Weekly of today.) It has movie and theater listings, comics, joke pages and Louella Parsons' column. Click the photo above to see it full size, or if you can't read the ad, it says, How You Can Lose Weight - and Eat All You Want! It happened to me, says Zsa Zsa Gabor. Slim the Way the Stars Slim. "If you are overweight, Ayds can do wonderful things for your figure." No Drugs... No Diet... Results Guaranteed! Excess weight may ruin your health and your looks, too. Lovely movie stars lose weight the Ayds way - why not you? In fact, you must lose pounds with the very first box ($2.98) or your money back! Proved by Clinical Test. With Ayds you lose weight the way Nature intended you to - without dieting or hunger. A quick natural way, clinically test and approved by doctors, with no risk to health.

Ayds is guaranteed pure. Contains no drugs or laxatives. New Loveliness in a Few Weeks. Users report losing up to ten pounds with the very first box. Others say they have lost twenty to thirty pounds with the Ayds Plan. The captions under the pictures say, Ayds helps Zsa Zsa to keep that lovely figure. "My friends here swear by Ayds," says Zsa Zsa. Zsa Zsa with daughter Francesca. "Ayds helps you to reduce," she says, "I know, it happened to me!" Ayds has helped many famous Hollywood stars to a lovelier figure. It can do the same for you! Oh my god. Where do I even begin to comment on this... First, you could take the same 55 year old sales pitches from that ad and plug them into any diet / weight loss / bodybuilding supplement in any current magazine. It's all snake oil. But the most subtly twisted part is when the 8 year old daughter Francesca is discussing weight loss techniques with Mom. That's right. Get 'em started on the Anorexia / Bulimia train early! And by the way, if you fast forward to recent events, Zsa Zsa's husband is suing Francesca for borrowing money off the equity on Zsa Zsa's house without permission.

One of my company slogans for Lavender Lounge Studios is, "It's Porn Different!". Why is it "porn different"? Because I'm not your typical pornographer. I have interests beyond dick, dick, dick, ass, ass, ass, money, money, money. I think of myself as a provider of all sorts of entertainment. Dick Clark, Merv Griffin, Hugh Hefner, Larry Flynt, even Florenz Ziegfeld are producers I like to emulate. Their brands covered a lot of different mediums, and I don't want to get stuck in just one gay porn pigeonhole. There's no denying that dick and ass play a very big part of gay men's entertainment. Planet Out / Gay.com learned a very hard lesson by trying to be TOO mainstream, and they're about to go under for pretending that they can pay their with bills without smut. (They're currently trying to sell off their only profitable ventures, the porn magazines! Hey, good luck with that!) A few years ago I got really burnt out from shooting nothing but porn and chasing after clients who wouldn't pay their bills. I felt creatively frustrated and needed a low-stress outlet to get inspired about film making again. My friend Jim was working with a couple of guys who were shooting little skit comedy videos just for their own amusement. (Yes, people really DO that!) There were no plans to sell it on DVD, broadcast it on Public Access TV, or pitch it to Saturday Night Live. We would get together on Thursday nights, smoke some pot, make cocktails and brainstorm funny bits. If we felt like shooting something we would. If we didn't feel like shooting, we just sit on the couch and giggle. The Bong Show was born. We had a shitty camera, no lighting, and editing was done with two VHS decks and pause control. Our little comedy coven evolved when Jim moved away and Blue died, but Lars, Eric and I pressed on. Eventually we got better cameras and iMovie, but the stress free environment of no deadlines and no money involved was just the inspiration I needed. What are The Bong Show skits about? Well, just what you think gay skit comedy would be. Parodies of old movies and TV shows, ridiculous drag, drug humor, phony commercials, and goofing around. We were doing the kind of stuff kids are doing on You Tube today, but we started around 2000, long before the tube craze. The stuff we were doing was perfectly suited for You Tube, but we didn't know it at the time. Sixteen little video clips from The Best of The Bong Show are now available at LavenderLoungeVideoBlog.com under the Comedy section. If you like them, there is embed code and a direct link provided so you can post a video to your own blog or share it with your friends. ("Guuurl, you have GOT to see this video....") The sample video above is probably our most popular video, "Nugget The Crime Solving Cat With ESP", a homage to Sid and Marty Kroft's H.R. Pufnstuf. It was my first participation with the group and my first attempt at editing with Final Cut. We also screened it at the San Francisco Gay Film Festival around 2001.

Fernando and Greg, the gay morning show hosts of San Francisco's 92.7FM radio station, had a call-in from Her Madgesty, Madonna this morning. The boys have been atwitter for days about the impending call, and after a lot of re-scheduling and delays, the call finally came in. The highlights of the call were: -Justin Timberlake is definitely NOT gay. -Madonna's new "look" (for everyone to copy) is going to be "thigh-high boxing boots with tape wrapped around your hands". Greg The Gay Sportcaster (yes, that's his moniker) warned Madonna that even people who shouldn't will be anxious to emulate whatever Madonna is wearing. He asked, "What about the three hundred pounders that want to dress like that?" Madonna's reply was, "Well, they can still tape their hands." Okay bears, that's your cue. You heard it from Madonna herself.

“A duck, a gorilla, and George W. Bush walk into a bar...” The first batch of entries in Athletic Model Guild's "Dirty Joke Contest" have arrived. There's some groaners and some recycled ancient jokes copied from prehistoric cave drawings, usually repeated by rednecks about some interchangable minority. Enjoy these, but please send more! From Wild Bill in NJ: George Dabua Bush is in the men's room washing his hands, when a Marine walks in and walks over to Bush and says, "Hey Dabua (W) Want to wear my hat, like a real Marine while I piss?" Bush thinks for a moment and says "Sure, I'll wear your hat", so he puts the hat on and George Dabua (W) takes out his tiny cock and starts to piss. In walks a sailor and says "Hey Dabua (W) how about licking my hairy balls, sucking my huge cock, and slurping up all my hot cum?" Bush thinks for a moment and says "Sorry, son but I'm not a real Marine I'm just wearing his hat!!!!!!!!!!!!" From DD in AZ: "With my approval rating at 30%, Americans may not support me. But Duck and Gorilla say they’re behind me 100%." From dungbeetle in CA: "What do my bush and George W. Bush have in common? They’re both situated above a dick." And finally from RL, who didn't leave his full contact info, (what a shame): "George is so small minded he couldn't get out of his cabinet - let alone a closet."

Back before everyone had computers and video cameras, creative film students used techniques of stop motion animation with 16mm film. My generation of film students grew up with Ray Harryhausen monster movies from the 1950's and introduced the psychedelic technique of "claymation" to stoner teens smoking pot or dropping acid in the 1970's. I even remember being in grade school and watching alot of movies provided by the Film Board of Canada that used a lot of stop motion. (why don't we have a Film Board like that in the States?) One in particular was called Neighbours from 1952. In it, two neighbors fought over a flower and one gets killed in the end. (And they showed it to us in grade school...) Dan Aykroyd (Canadian) and John Belushi apparently grew up with it, too, because the re-created the same movie into a full length feature. ("Neighbors" 1981 was Belushi's last movie.) This little video was done much the same way the original "Neighbours" was done, but with modern video equipment. And did I mention two cute guys, too?

Below is the trailer from the controversial new movie from Falcon, entitled "Fleet Week". Why is it controversial? Two reasons. First, former Falcon exclusive Josh Weston has made his return to the Falcon fold, which shouldn't be controversial in itself. In fact, Josh Weston fans like myself are thrilled to hear it. However, in his absence, Josh has gone on to appear in bareback movies. There was a time not too long ago that studios had essentially blacklisted anyone who had gone over to the darkside and been in bareback movies. That policy has pretty much gone by the wayside, so when someone like Josh Weston makes himself available for Falcon, they hire him. But the most controversial part of the Fleet Week is that it incorporates oral ejaculation. In other words, guys cum in each other's mouth. Prior to this, Falcon had not allowed this somewhat risky practice, but bowing to pressure from customers, they decided to capitalize on it. The banner above shows Josh Weston himself taking a cum shot to the face and lapping it up like a thirsty dog. Other "safer sex" major studios incorporate oral cum shots including Raging Stallion, but as Keith Webb from Titan says, "It's a slippery slope to barebacking".
