The Sexual Story of O
The Sexual Story of O (1984) is a Jess Franco Spanish film titled to take
advantage of the popularity of the Story of O. It is a story of sado-masochism
by the very wealthy. A couple seduces the young Alicia Principle, then
delivers her to a perverted royal couple on an island, where she is ravaged,
drugged and beaten, then murdered.
Franco thinks of it as a love story.
The male half of the couple who seduces her falls in love with her, blows
away his wife and the twisted royalty, then carries her dead body into the
sea. Jess was proud of that ending, saying that it symbolized that the two
people had to go to another plane to find happiness.
Jess does a little of his
psychedelic photography during the torture scene at the end of the film, but
otherwise spends the film shooting naked women in good light alone and
fondling other women and/or a man. The Widescreen transfer is excellent. The
DVD audio is in Spanish with optional English subtitles, but the dialogue is
pretty much unnecessary, so the language is not improtant.
Softcore fans will find it good but unexceptional, but Franco fans will
want this. That makes the grade either C (as a competent softcore sex film
with unfamiliar actresses), or C+ (as a Jess Franco treasure.)
IMDb readers say 4.1 based on only 12 votes.

Notes and collages
"Farscape" - Part 38 of 38
The Peacekeeper Wars
36 days ago I decided to collage this Farscape TV series because I like it;
Scoopy was cool with my doing it so you got it all. I admit that halfway
through the series I thought I was insane in presenting something which only a
portion of you might appreciate but, since as a younger person I had often
blown off my "promises," I went the full commit route.
My next series of collages will be more revealing.

Comments in yellow...
Researchers from the USDA and Kasetsart University in Thailand found that fruity
cocktails such as strawberry or blueberry daiquiris might be considered health
food. They were testing ways to keep colored fruits fresh, and they found that
adding a splash of alcohol boosted the fruit's antioxidant nutrient properties,
which means fruity cocktails might help you live longer.

Thursday, Marvel announced plans to create "Spiderman: The Musical." The
mega-budget Broadway musical would be directed by "The Lion King's" Julie Taymor
with a score by Bono. An attempt at a Superman musical bombed in 1966, but
Spiderman would be the first Marvel character to make an attempt at Broadway
musical stardom.
* The Human Torch considered musical comedy, but he just
wasn't
flaming enough.
GEORGE W. BUSH QUOTE OF THE DAY! From a town hall in
Iowa: "There are jobs Americans aren't doing...If
you've got a chicken factory, a chicken-plucking
factory, or whatever you call them, you know what I'm
talking about"
* Those jobs are now done by those pluckin' foreigners
