Merciless torture!

Our beautiful victim didn’t have to wait long to feel the pain of her skin being shredded by the scourging Flagellum. Her screams echoed as they bounced of the walls of the dungeon her torturer calls The Playroom. Arms and legs spread open, chained to the wall, her naked body arched over the wheel, defenseless, exposed to the brutality of merciless torture, the young woman doesn’t know how much longer she can take such punishment. She feels like she’s getting ever closer to the end of her resistance.

Pygmalion, Rucker and CruXtreme II are still the center of attention. The theatrical release of Pygmalion is over a month away and Dani, Jac and Beto are extremely busy working on all that is necessary for that so important event. In the meantime Amy’s time is consumed with the sound mix of Rucker, however, the word is mum, nothing is being said about that project, not by Amy, nor Jac, who I have the feeling has already seen the locked film but he’s not talking about it.

CruXtreme II is in post and going slowly. The reason, most of Jac’s time is taken by all the work he’s doing for Pygmalion‘s release. I think I’ll hear more about its progress after this weekend. Jac plans to concentrate in the editing.

Oscar’s night is upon us, and I happen to remember fondly that JUSTINE was one of the three finalists to go to the best foreign film category representing Bolivia… It was a surprise to us that it was even being considered, given the controversial subject matter, and even more surprising that it had the votes to become one of the three finalists, out of 12 films under consideration. As Ralphus likes to say: Shockingly it didn’t win the Oscar.

I’ve bitched over the years about producers who do that, from the first Red Feline film where the admittedly pretty victim remains masked throughout, to Bill Zebub’s disastrous take on the Colleen Stan story, to certain Japanese productions where the actress’s face is digitally obscured, to Madam Bathory, probably the most frustrating new producer whose work I see on a regular basis.(…)

I guess, in hindsight, Camille didn’t have to wear the nylon stocking as a mask in Red Feline On The Cross, but when that film was made, we lived in different times. The only point of reference Jac had at the time was his visits to the shops on 42nd Street in NY where for a meager 90 bucks you could get an 8 mm reel of a 10 minute film like HOM’s The Tourist Trap. YES! 90 bucks! And you had to have a projector to watch it! Not a very common gadget on a home.

Jac didn’t know what to expect if he produced that film. It was Camille who encourage him to do it with a simple: Why not? Let’s do it! I’m not sure if it was Jac’s or Camille’s condition to cover her face a bit. They just had done a TV miniseries and Camille’s face was all over the place in newspapers, television and so on. That series was shown on cable TV in the US as well.

I think, for that time, 1998, when the Internet was in diapers, there wasn’t even a plan to distribute it. I remember that the first thing Jac did in NY, before exploring the WWW, was to offer the film to some stores in NY with disastrous results. No need to go into details of that. Then Jac discovered the hows and the whys to create a web presence and a mini industry was born around Red Feline On The Cross. The rest is history.
