Vintage Erotica anno 1940 (2003) is a collection of French porn loops from the 1940's. They are, of course, silent, and a pleasant jazz/swing track was added. Their subjects include lesbian, straight, masturbation, bondage and discipline and toys. I was a little surprised to see a "money shot" and the use of a condom over a dildoe. None of the films were in good enough shape to cap, and, of course, none of the performers were identified -- in fact, one man had a ridiculous fake moustache and eyebrows that kept slipping.

Included on the DVD was a selection of French postcards from 1900 through 1949 organized by decade, and these were high enough quality to cap. I found them interesting, and though some of you might as well. They range from the art poses that I am used to seeing, to spread beaver and hard core shots, which I had not seen before. I have no idea how to score this, other than to say I am glad I watched it, but probably won't see it again, which makes it a C-. Only for history of sex in cinema fans.

"Allen plays the head hillbilly. He's very excited because he's going to work in the line 'Well Gollee!' as an homage to his uncle." People are already camping out for the premiere, ala Star Wars

• that South Park article is a perfect lead in to this story, "A retired banker living in Switzerland spent 10 years helping Iraqi President Saddam Hussein hide millions of dollars via a bank account under the name of Satan". And you thought South Park was all made up.

Here are the latest movie reviews available at scoopy.com.

• The yellow asterisks indicate that I wrote the review, and am deluded into thinking it includes humor.
• If there is a white asterisk, it means that there isn't any significant humor, but I inexplicably determined there might be something else of interest.
• A blue asterisk indicates the review is written by Tuna (or Lawdog or Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or Mick Locke, or somebody else besides me)
• If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.

We left the old time machine parked in 1983 for a longer look at "My Tutor".

Today we feature Graem McGavin in a classic back seat rendezvous scene with Matt Lattanzi. Graem shows us boobs, but sadly for Matt her biker boy friend shows up before they can finish what they started.

Graem had all of 3 screen credits in her brief career, one of them being "Angel" in the same year.

Comments by Dann:
This corny 1969 Sci-Fi was almost of too poor quality to cap; but it was also too interesting not to. The film was based on a story from the sixties magazine Zeta, and had plenty of nudity. That didn't leave a lot of room for acting or a great storyline.

Basically, a secret agent is chasing a bad guy who's chasing a woman from another planet who's abducting earthwomen and enslaving them. Sounds real, right?
