Hippie Dippie Bondage

Him: “Well, lady, I had to smoke a ton of weed to get up the nerve to strip you and chain you up like that, but now you‘re, like, totally in my power. And you know what I‘m gonna do about that? I‘m gonna go, like, eat a box of Oreos and crash.”
Her: “You bastard!”

Bad Girls' Bit Gag Scene -- Opportunities Lost

Hmmm, tastes like chicken. Well, rubber chicken.

This Thursday (August 21, 2008) episode 5.1 of Bad Girls aired for the first time in the US on the Logo Channel (i.e., the gay channel, no I'm not kidding) and of course I had to record it and watch it. And even though my DVD somehow screwed up, I did managed to catch tle last 20 minutes of the ep.

As you can see, they did a great job of presenting the bit gag visually, but it left much to be desired in other respects, so much so that I was reduced to using colorful metaphors to express my disappointment. I could have written my response as a post for this blog, but chose instead to write it as an article on my website since I wanted to reference it from my article on Bad Girls."

You can read my outraged screed abuot the bit gag scene here.

Bad Girls Review - Some Say "No Soap" I Say "Soap"

A well-lit tape gag scene from "Bad Girls" -- of the ugliest gaurd in the place. Symptomatic, I'm afraid.

I started the "Women in Prison" section on my Bondagerotica.com site because of the startup of the US women in prison series Bad Girls so I thought I should review the British women in prison series Bad Girlsthat it's based on. And add some thoughts on how the US version can avoid fucking up like the Brits did. Because they did. I really do think the Americans will do better than the Brits did, if only because the US Bad Girls will be shown on a premium channel and hence nudity will be almost a requirement. Probably R-rated sex, too, because the HBO series is under a lot of pressue to push the envelope. Of course, I have some suggestions for exactly how they could do so. I'm doing a public service, really.

2009: Year of the Women in Prison Series

Director Robert Rodriguez (Planet Terror, Sin City, Spy Kids, Once Upon A Time in Mexico) is proposing plans for a women in prison TV series that will have bondage and lesbianism as major themes, and will star his fiancee Rose McGowan. This is incredibly good news: a topnotch director is producing just the sort of stuff we like and is PROMOTING its bondage aspects.
To help Mr. Rodriguez do it right, I have published a review of Caged Heat 3000 and a description of how to produce the perfect women in prison movie. Now he will have no choice but to do a good job (in the incredibly unlikely event he visits my site).

Click here to read the review. And the essay.

In other absolutely great news, HBO is planning a Women in Prison series based on the British women in prison series "Bad Girls" (which is about the only mainstream women in prison anything to feature a bit gag) with hotshot writer/director Alan Ball at the helm (Six Feet Under, American Beauty). Great. Now I have to do something else: put every frickin' thing I've written on Women in Prison on my site. So I will. Because these people need my help, judging from what's out there in terms of mainstream women in prison films, which may well be the weakest, least well realized genre of films in existence. I mean, Caged Heat, FRICKING Caged Heat is its avatar, the film that all the others are based on. And it sucks big time!

It would be great if somebody finally got it right.
