Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted February 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2017 There's a whole load of porn pun titles years back in this thread. I'm still trying to confirm that Theresa Orlowski made Schindlers Fist, the book Babylon Blue claims that it's a real film. I think that the trend of calling films "something: an xxx parody" is that parody is protected speech in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ain't the Brady Bunch is a bit pants. Most films you could make some sort of pun out of easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First one is really shit and dated, IMHO.It dated very quickly but probably still worth a watch. The second is actually quite funny at times. You're both so wrong it's unbelievable.  Flesh Gordon is an underrated, genuine piece of cinematic art. Flesh Gordon 2 is a turn of the decade tit 'n' bum film.  Here's my comments from watching it the other year.  So, this weekend I put paid to another piece of urban mythery from my school days, and finally watched Flesh Gordon. I also watched the sequel, but that didn't exist back then, and it was also shit, so no more need be said on the matter. The original Flesh Gordon was one of those films that sat on the top shelf of the video shop, and all the cool kids claimed to have seen. Having now finally watched it, and compared it to their descriptions, it's clear that they were talking utter bollocks. Instead of the cheesy 80s sex comedy I was expecting, it was instead a re-cut of an attempted porno from the seventies, thus predating the Queen soundtracked movie by a good few years. And as the Sam Jones film didn't exist, its point of reference as a parody/homage was the 1930s Buster Crabbe serials, and from this aspect, it was excellent. The set design and special effects were spot on, the soundtrack - even if it was just chopped up stock music - was great, and it was clear that whoever made it knew the genre well.  With regards to the sequel:  The second one is a typical late 80s/early 90s sex comedy, but one that looks like it had a considerable budget, yet with none of it going into the script. It wasn't funny, or sexy, or even "so bad it's good" enjoyable. Oh, and "lol, fat people". Even though the first has nudity in pretty much every scene (and there is a blowjob shot that managed to stay in there), more often than not I found myself being reminded of old sci-fi and Harryhausen films. I can't remember what it was called, but I used to watch the serial that the rape robots were so clearly based on.  Baz even agrees with me on this.   bAzTNM#1, on 09 Dec 2013 - 06:44, said: I remember the second one being even more sleazier than the first.

westlondonmist Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Well I'm sure I can find some time to re watch them both. I have not seen them in years so maybe my views are blurred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 15, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 15, 2017 Regarding parodies, there's a very simple reason why companies mostly go with stuff like 'This Ain't Seinfeld' etc. and that's for SEO purposes. We all love the titles they come up with but they're less likely to make money and come up on casual searches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dopper Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Indeed. Paul E was using that logic back in the 90's. Â Â (No jokes about Beulah & Francine running around on this show being as useful to a teenage dopper as actual porn in the pre-internet days though, because scotswizard might read it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2017 It's no wonder kids don't have the appreciation for porn that we did, there's no effort involved in acquiring it and so no sense of pay off. Â They're going to descend into the filth equivalent of a Wayons brothers "parody" where they just recreate scenes for no particular reason and with nothing altered to make it funny.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) I had a poster back in uni with a big list of "porn parody" movie titles such as the aforementioned Schindler's Fist and Shaving Ryan's Privates. There were some rather amusing ones in the late 90s/early 2000s. I seem to remember one called In Diana Jones as well?  There's a list here  Edit: I'm just reading through and one of them is called Everybody Does Raymond which just made me laugh out loud. I'm so glad I'm home alone at the moment. Edited February 16, 2017 by jazzygeofferz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
