| Christmas special.... IN THE NEW CINEMA SEWER SHOP! |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|06:48 pm] |
Holy turdfritters! Finally, buying my crap is a lot easier, thanks to my good friend Ed who set up a Cinema Sewer shop for me, which you can link from the front page of www.cinemasewer.com
It goes right here:
http://cinemasewer.ecrater.com/
No more fucking around trying to add stuff up! A few clicks and you're done, and as an incentive to pay for this computer we can't afford (and to coincide with Christmas), I'm kicking off the new shop with a special deal!
Until midnight Dec. 10th, every single order equaling $20 (or more) will get, at no charge:
1. Two Cinema Sewer pins! You can flaunt your questionable taste to anyone who cares to look at your chest!
2. HOT DAMN! The RETARD O TRON 2 dvd! FREE!
"Retard-o-Tron 2 will make you power-vomit your intestines across the room as you take in the violent torrent of obscenity unleashed by the most insanity-inducing video mixtape you will ever lay eyes on! Brace yourself for 103 minutes of 100% juvenile video mixtape fun! Enjoy the audio commentary (by myself and some special guests), subtitle commentary by editor Roelewapper, trailers, and more!"
3. A copy of the DEAR MR BOUGIE zine!
That is $23 in free stuff, at no charge! And each ROT2 dvd comes with an original filthy Bougie personalized drawing, right on the disc! (If you have ROT2, you can email me and make a special request to substitute ROT1 instead, although I do believe it to be inferior to its sequel, if you want my humble opinion. No substitutions for the D.M.B zine, though.)
SO YES! GET YOUR ANUS OVER TO THE BRAND NEW CINEMA SEWER SHOP AND SPEND THAT PAYPAL MONEY! GO GO GO! |

It just came out on friday. Go see this. It was flat-out amazing. I wanted to commit suicide. It'll be in my top 5 films of 2009 list for sure when I make it in a few weeks. It's totally like the sadder, far more realistic version of 2012, although it is a much better overall movie.
In other news: I am typing this on our new iMac. Thank goodness for credit cards. Unfortunately, my existing printer/scanner doesn't seem to work on this new computer, and my old trusty photoshop 7 won't open for some reason. Until I get that shit figured out, you won't be seeing any art from Rebecca or I.
The screen is way bigger than my old one, and this tiny little keyboard is crazy, man. I'm typing at about half speed because there isn't enough room for my big fat dick-fingers. But this new mouse is the shit. It's all touch intuative like the ipod screen or sumpin'. Love it. |

| AUGH BLUE LINES |
[Nov. 27th, 2009|08:15 pm] |
Here's hoping this scan turned out ok. My screen is all gibbled with blue crap, so it's really hard to tell what the hell I'm doing. The scan should be ok though. I've scanned enough of these to do it with my eyes closed at this point.
In case you didn't see my last post, I'm blowing out all my original art pages at $50 a pop until I can raise enough to get a new computer! This one is toast. So if you have a favorite comic page or drawing I've done, post a comment or a PM and reserve it! You can pay via paypal or postal money order.
Now would also be a good time to tell you that you can subscribe to Cinema Sewer and Sleazy Slice for 2 years for just $24 ($32 overseas)! That is 4 publications, shipped to you the day they come out. It's a steal, and you're supporting all of my filthy habits. No one loses!
And, as usual, you can order yourself either CS book for just $29 each ($35 overseas), and expect to get a nice sexy/disgusting personalized drawing inside! Feel free to make reasonable requests!
Paypal them monies to: mindseye100 *AT* hotmail.com today so I can see what the fuck I am doing over here! BLUE LINES, EVERYWHERE! AUUUGH |

| The $50 original art sale! |
[Nov. 27th, 2009|03:15 pm] |
Hey gang, I'm in tough at the moment. This 4 year old computer of mine is sick, (the screen is covered in blue lines!) and on its last legs. The cost of fixing it isn't worth it, so we have to buy a new one. This wasn't really in the plans for our budget, so I'm gonna sell off a bunch of original art to try to raise some money. Hopefully the computer will hold out long enough so I can do this smoothly. Arg.
Anyway, up for grabs for $50 each are any one of my original comic art pages from the three issues of sleazy slice (which measure roughly 11 X 9 inches), or really, any original art that I've posted here in the past -- that wasn't a commission, obviously. $50 and it is yours, or if you want to buy a complete story I'll cut you a deal.
Get something for a Cinema Sewer fan for Christmas! I'll make sure it gets to you in time.
Comment here if you want to reserve something, or arrange payment which can be sent via paypal or postal money order. |

| HOLY SHIT! NEW RELIABLE BOOKS ARE 50% OFF! |
[Nov. 23rd, 2009|04:09 pm] |
One of my favorite small graphic novel publishing companies has to be New Reliable. It's pretty criminal how far under the radar this little company is, even amongst comic book nerds, but I guess that makes it all the more fun to discover something amazing that not many people know about, right? I know I get a thrill out of being the first on my block to know about the cool shit. Right down the line, every project New Reliable has pushed out of the nest has been top notch.
Anyway, the reason I bring it up is because starting a couple days ago -- and ending on Dec. 4th -- all of their books are FIFTY PERCENT OFF! Just in time for Christmas! I can't think of a better time to get a quality book like Simon Roy's JAN'S ATOMIC HEART (one of my favorite comics of the year):
Or the two fat volumes of Jason Turner's instant classic TRUE LOVES (which is set in Vancouver, so if you live here definately get it!)
Or that sweet-ass anthology YOU AIN'T NO DANCER, which Dave Cooper completists certainly won't want to miss. I bought 3 so I'd have 2 to give away to close friends!)
So yeah, support the little guy and feel like a hero. Get some x-mas shopping out of the way, and stroke your balls to the fact that every dollar you spend makes a huge difference for New Reliable and their ability to keep putting out new projects from really talented creators.
ORDER NOW AT: http://www.newreliable.com/
Jesusfuck, 50% off. And they even take paypal n' stuff. |

| SEX FREAKS (1974. Directed by John Lamb) |
[Nov. 22nd, 2009|06:10 am] |
There is this porno-mondo I've been wanting to see for YEEEEAARS ever since seeing the trailer on one of Something Weird's Dragon Art Theater porn trailer VHS compilations in the mid 90s. It's this 1974 film called SEX FREAKS, and I'd pretty much given up on it until a couple of weeks ago I was at the After hours site and just happened across the fact that they put it out on DVD in July 2009! I was quite surprised!
http://www.alternativecinema.com/index.php?pg=si&item_id=959
"Sex Freaks (1974) – a catalog of all things kinky – voyeurism, nymphomania, necrophilia, sadomasochism – with a few unusual novelties thrown in along the way (sex in a carwash, at a bullfight, underwater, in the snow); this unusual example of a Sex-Shockumentary posits that the Devil is responsible for our deviant ways!"
There has been absolutely ZERO hype online for it, at least that I've seen. I found it on their site totally by accident, and I'm thinking this went under a lot of film enthusiasts radars. Anyway, I ordered it from them (if you get it too, also be sure to order their recent STORY OF PRUNELLA disc, since it is my pick for the single greatest XXX dvd release of all time) and it was totally GOOD. Lived up to the trailer, and then some!
It's like this bizarre whitecoater/art film/xxx hybrid. Kind of like a porno-mondo tag-team directed by Jordowski and Damiano. John Lamb created it in 1973, and is better known as the fellah who did SEXUAL FREEDOM IN DENMARK (1970), one of the very first feature films to depict hardcore sex. I especially liked the scene where a nerdy John Holmes rapes a girl, and this other crazy phone sex terrorism sequence where a guy -- via the phone -- convinces a girl that he's going to blow her up if she doesn't totally degrade herself for his enjoyment. Anyway, nothing I say can really describe this mish-mash of hardcore sex and unusual imagery very acurately, so I'll let some screen grabs do the talking (anyone who whines about cuts gets ignored).
Def get this disc if you like weird uncategorizable classic smut obscurities!

| Update on stuff |
[Nov. 21st, 2009|01:23 am] |
A few things:
* The Cinema Sewer torrent on Cinemageddon has been taken down. I'm gonna go have a drink.
*While I have that drink, I will enjoy this video of Philip Michael Thomas having an angel dust adventure! Tubbs is the only living man squinky enough to comb his afro with a crocodile, by the way.
* Only my close friends and co-workers have known about this, but a few weeks ago I injured the tendon/muscle in my right arm. That's right, my drawing/typing/masturbating arm. I have been on the mend, taking vitamins, doing stretches, icing it, drawing less, handlettering less, internetting/typing less, and masturbating less. It was scary there for awhile, but the last couple days have finally seen a little improvement -- which may only be temporary, I don't know. It appears to be the exact same tendon/muscle strain that Rebecca had that put her out of artistic commission for 8 months. Mine isn't as bad, but it is still going to take a lot more "taking it easy", playing it safe, and drawing and lettering many less hours per day. The problem with this is that it puts the Feb 2010 due date for Cinema Sewer #23 and Sleazy Slice #4 in serious jeopardy -- but so be it. My health is more important. We all know the negative effects of being a lazy ass, but apparently being too productive can have its price as well. Take care of your body, kids.
* Apparently there are cat videos on the internet. In this one, a kitty takes on a police officer
* Went and saw 2012 tonight. Don't believe the critics, it was a ton of disaster-lovin' fun. I was squealing with laughter and amazement watching California slide into the ocean! HOO-HAW! I don't know if I'd even bother with it on a home format, but if you want a big, loud, stupid amusement park ride of a theater experience, I doubt you'll see a better one this year. Sit nice and close to the screen and let it carry you away to the wrist-slitting magical setting of the burning carnage of the end of the world!
* Channing's "stuffed animal dog show" ends in disaster.

| Torrenting Cinema Sewer, part 3 |
[Nov. 18th, 2009|02:39 pm] |
So it appears that the torrenting site where I asked to have the torrent taken down are now doing what they can to bully and punish me for that apparently outrageous action. One of the moderaters from the site decided he give a 40% bonus to anyone who downloads "cinema sewer". His actual words:
-----
"This is a re-upload. 40% bonus has been added. Feel free to help seed if you already downloaded this. This spot reserved for a more informative description after I've had my coffee."
"(We are) not just a bunch of filthy pirates. A great number of us are hardcore collectors who understand the value of owning the real deal. Our encoders have salvaged rarities that were thought to be unavailable to most everyone, our fansubbers have allowed people to enjoy films they wouldn't otherwise have been able to, and our community is probably stronger than your fanbase. You and your LJ pals can pat one another on the back until the cows come home."
-----
What I don't understand is that I have said, over and over again, and I can't make it any clearer... is that I TOTALLY APPROVE of torrenting out-of-print film rarities so that people enjoy them! I love that this place exists!
Honestly, I don't understand this shit. It's just bullying me, and then bitchslapping me when I dare to complain about it. Why are they trying to kill my magazine if they are such movie fans?
I know lots of people who download at this site, and they aren't dicks. But this person CLEARLY IS. Whenever it is that I am no longer depending on the print sales to keep the magazine alive, people can download my stuff and derive whatever kind of enjoyment out of it then that they want. I want CS to be read print-only, but I will make that concession to allow it to be downloaded once the issues (and reprinting of those issues in the collected books) become unavailable. Is it really so much to ask??
I am really hurt by this. These are my fellow movie nerds, and they have decided that I am the enemy. |

| Torrenting Cinema Sewer, part 2 |
[Nov. 17th, 2009|11:57 pm] |
Comicsworthreading.com thinks I'm a hypocritical douche for being bummed that CS was torrented:
"If you’re going to bitch and moan about people giving your stuff away — although the issues torrented include some that are out of print, just like the movies he mentions, and he has since had the torrent removed — maybe you shouldn’t say in the same post that you think it’s fine to do the same thing in other media."
"Also, when someone suggests that maybe Bougie could put out some digital material to satisfy the apparent demand, he says he wants his work only in print. To many modern readers, that’s the equivalent of saying “I only want my music heard on record albums” — whether that’s what you want or not, customers are going to take your content where they want it, in a format that satisfies them."
"I think many people’s opinion on the subject boils down to this: Getting stuff I want for free? Cool. People getting something I’m involved in for free instead of paying me? Sucks. That’s selfish human nature, but it would be nice if people thought through this a little more before getting outraged in public."
http://comicsworthreading.com/2009/11/17/the-hypocrisy-of-file-sharers/
-------
I really don’t think what I said about downloading rare out-of-print movies as compared to downloading CInema Sewer was a contradiction.
Torrenting something that is readily and easily available from the creator (who has no other means of making a profit outside of selling it) is a dick move — no matter how you justify it.
Torrenting something that has, for all intents and purposes, been abandoned to the sands of time and is not readily available in any format is a fantastic way to keep that thing alive and enjoyed by a whole new generation.
-------
Simon at Icarus comics blog had this to say, though. And I really appreciate that he *GETS IT*:
"Cinema Sewer is a product of genuine passion, one that seeks to keep alive a specific kind of publishing ethos that is dissappearing in this age of blogs. You would know this the very moment you open an issue and you are greeted by the completely hand-written text. Every aspect of the magazine is a product of deliberateness, every component carefully placed, every detail given a reason for being… and all of it is formatted for print. The creator intended for his art and writing to be experienced with the smell of paper and the smudge of ink. Uploading scans not only infringed upon Bougie’s rights as a publisher, but the very act of moving print to digital usurped his creative control as an artist. In this case, print itself is a sort of media, not just the medium. And scanning it was tantamount to defacing a painting with graffiti."

| NOT COOL |
[Nov. 16th, 2009|02:13 am] |
A friend just wrote to tell me that someone has just uploaded Cinema Sewer #10 to #20 onto a popular movie torrenting site. In the email he says:
-----
"I dunno how you feel about that since most of those issues are out of print now and the uploader DOES tell everyone to go to your site and buy your stuff. But at the same time most of that material is in the new book too and it is still redistriuting your shit without you being involved, and for free.
So I dunno, but i thought you'd at least like to know that not only are DVD's being given away for free, and music being given away for free but books and fanzines are now being given away for free too.
In my estimation there is less and less point in doing any of this because the pople who put the money up to do the actual work wont be able to afford it much longer..."
-----
I can't say I'm too thrilled about that.
On the one hand, downloading rare out-of-print movies that no one can get otherwise seems to be a perfect use of the technology. And music downloading makes a whole hell of of sense. Bands make all of their money from touring so giving the music away and getting lots of new fans is brilliant marketing.
But what the fuck do I get out of someone else giving away everything I do? Nothing. It's not "free advertising" for my next big tour or something. Those magazines and books are where I make the money to be able to keep printing it and making more. I have serious doubts that someone is gonna download #10 to #20 there for free and then turnaround and send me money for the same thing.
I'm kind of disgusted and disappointed that some fan of mine thought this was a good way to help me out. Thanks for nothing, asshole.
So what do you guys think? Am I not seeing the big picture here? Or am I justified in being pissed about this? Feedback, plz.
*******
EDIT: (Nov 18th)
A lot of people are being linked here from other sites and aren't reading the comments below (I don't blame you, there are a lot to wade through) and are missing that I rethought the statement "Bands make all of their money from touring so giving the music away and getting lots of new fans is brilliant marketing". I'm still getting a lot of shit about it via email and other message boards, so I'm reprinting the comment here:
"When I said what I did about music and downloading in my original post, it certainly was more about mid level and bigger bands that can afford to tour, and do get to see the immediate benefits of downloading. It didn't take into account the millions of smaller bands that cannot, and have much more in common with zinesters. It wasn't a very well thought out aspect of my original post, and I apologize for that." |

| Dolly Read (aka Dolly Martin) |
[Nov. 13th, 2009|06:23 am] |
In my humble opinion, the cutest 1960s Playboy playmate was Dolly Read, whom most of you should know if you've ever seen Russ Meyer's bitchinsweet BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS from 1970.
Born on 13 September 1944 in Bristol, England, Dolly was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month in May 1966. She posed for the magazine again in 1970, and worked as a Bunny at the Playboy Clubs in Chicago, London, and New York City. After appearing in THAT TENDER TOUCH in 1969 (a favorite of mine, and many lesbians into 60s sexploitation), she landed the lead role of naive rock and roll front-woman for "The Carrie Nations" in Russ Meyer's BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS in 1970. The year after that, she married comedian Dick Martin, became a housewife and quit acting and modeling save for an appearance or two on CHARLIES ANGELS and FANTASTY ISLAND. She remained married to Martin until his death in 2008.
Here are a pile of superduper nude photos of her -- which are my personal picks for the best photos of her modeling career:

A corner from part of the house reserved for toys, crap, and dvds -- which considering our condo is only 700 square feet... means that part takes up about 90% of the place.

Check out the awesome ACTION USA (1989) drawing that adubya did to illustrate my review of the movie in the upcoming Cinema Sewer!!
You seriously need to see this fuggin movie. I know I already posted this "explosive bedroom" clip here 5 months ago, but I need to post it at least 6 times a year, I think, and I'm really falling behind.
He also did a rad SHES ON DUTY (Korea 2005) illustration for my review in the next ish as well:

| HALLOWEEN WHORE-ERS! |
[Oct. 31st, 2009|05:22 am] |
Lacking a wide release during its initial run back in the 80s, "Hanna D" is an over-the-top exploitation goof-juicer set in Amsterdam, where a girl named Hanna (born of an uncaring and booze-soaked alcoholic mom) becomes a street hooker and gets even further pimped out by a scumbag who becomes her "owner" and introduces her to the evils of heroin. Expect copious amounts of sleazy full-frontal underage hooker nudity (her character is 16, the actress is 19), drugs coming out of a girls hairy anus, Hanna gashing her wrist open and drinking her own blood, what appears to be close-ups of actual heroin injection (INTO HER TONGUE EVEN!!), and drug withdrawal that comes complete with chunky vomit! Allegedly based on "true events" (although actually just a cash-in on CHRISTINE F), "Hanna D" is directed by Italian sleaze-master Rino DiSivestri, who gave the world "Werewolf Woman", "Deported Women of the SS", and "Woman in Cellblock 7".
This trailer will give you some clue of what to expect of the BRAND NEW DVD that just came out from Severin this week, and totally rocked my Bougie socks off:
I just finished the movie and the 40 minute interview with Rino Di Silvestro. I highly recommend that everyone check out that special feature, because he is one INTENSE old dude! Very outspoken and passionate to the point where you can't help but sit up and take notice. And wow, they must have caught him while he was on his deathbed and ready to spill his guts because Rino died only a couple weeks ago, and it is mentioned on the dvd. They must have put that on there at the last possible second before getting the disc manufactured!
Anyway, I loved the movie. Fantastic stuff from a great (if not slightly tyranical) director, and Ann Gisel Glass is just about the cutest thing to come out of France in the 80s. I'm a new fan, and I can see why Silvestro auditioned hundreds of girls before deciding on her. Makes me want to go back and rewatch RATS: NIGHT OF TERROR just to get another taste of that shit. I also want to hunt down some of her other films from the same era:
DISORDER (1986)

Rat-in-the-pussy here was a special request. Keep those bizarre requests coming! They are a blast to do! ^_^
Going to the Ayden gallery tonight and drinking the drinks and rubbing the elbows and looking at all the great art and stuff was a lot of fun tonight. Although it did remind me that I don't really seem to fit in to that scene, or any art scene for that matter. There isn't really any one doing what I'm doing. I'm not saying this out of arrogance, because this is good, and it is also bad.
It would be really fucking nice to be a part of an art movement, or a scene. I can see why people draw or paint in a certain style, and stick to a certain limited set of subject matter. In the world of gallery shows and selling prints and making a living from your art, it makes a lot of sense. My subject matter and drawing style simply doesn't adhere to any of these popular formulas. Is this what I missed out on by not going to art school? Learning how to fit in and find success in a group or movement? I know I'm not the only one that feels this way, because Rebecca said something very similar about her own work as we were walking home and chatting. It is a bittersweet feeling, because we've both always strived to be original and certainly won't stop now.
Hell, I'm sure in some peoples eyes, I'm not original whatsoever. I get compared to Robert Crumb quite often, although usually by people who clearly don't have much of a frame of reference, and are just reaching for the closest thing they know of. I can think of a lot worse artists to be lumped with, that is for sure. (I'm not speaking in terms of talent, obviously -- just style. If I could ever be one tenth as technically skilled as R. Crumb, I'd spend the rest of my days with a giant shit-eating smile on my face)
The other thing tonight was that Rebecca painting robots, monsters and sassy chicks in public in the middle of a mall really took her and I back. She used to do that 8 hours a day, 6 days a week back when we had our handpainted shirt/comic store in Wildwood Mall in Saskatoon in the early 90s. It's where she cut her chops in her late teens and early 20s. Funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same, because she took to it as if there hadn't been 17 years in between the last time she'd done it and now.
