“Interior. Leather Bar.” - Sundance Film Festival

On Saturday, January 19, 2013, I attended the adults-only World Premiere of Interior. Leather Bar. at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The sold-out screening was held in the 336-seat Prospector Square Theatre. The film was a selection in the New Frontier Film section.

The premise is deceptively simple. In 1980, William Friedkin directed the controversial Cruising, in which a New York City cop (Al Pacino) goes undercover in the gay leather bar scene to investigate a series of murders. In order to avoid an X rating from the MPAA, 40 minutes had to be cut out of the film. Presumably, this footage contained explicit homosexual sex acts deemed too pornographic for the censors. James Franco (who has three projects at the festival) and Travis Mathews decide to create a film based on a re-imagining of what the missing portion of the movie might have looked like. There's more to Interior. Leather Bar., though, and it will be left to the viewer to solve the conundrum.

In what has come to be known as "Porndance," this is the one film that truly fits the description. It isn't just one of many Sundance films involving sex and skin this year -- Interior. Leather Bar. is one of several with pornography as its subject (others I saw were Lovelace, Don Jon's Addiction, and The Look of Love). But this is the only one with real, unsimulated sex acts in it. For that reason no ticketholders under 18 were admitted. The scenes are as graphic as one would expect. Yet this is not a pornographic film. In fact, to some extent, it defies categorization and raises more questions than it answers. Interior. Leather Bar. will leave you wondering exactly what it is you just witnessed.

Co-directors James Franco (who also produced & stars) and Travis Mathews (who also wrote, edited, & stars) took the stage after the screening for an enlightening and stimulating Q&A session.

ChiVTop50 - Profile, pics, comments, & stories

I'm 50, mx-Blk, smooth, a vTop, cut! Looking to hook up? I give parties monthly; motel out north! Inquire w/ pics; profiles!

Surfing the net in '99, I started seeing more and more sites devoted to sex and "hooking up!" I stayed hard and erect, drooling all day just thinking about the possibility of going back to the carefree days of illicit, anonymous encounters! Everything had become a bit stale; (ie: staying with a partner longer than normal)! After a couple months, I got nervy enough to attend a party or 2 adv. on sites! A bit later, I got really ballsy and decided to host my own events! It took a bit of planning and pain-staking detail to insure a good time was had by all! I've always tried to have a nice mix and to make sure they're compatible! It was great having them with action going on while greeting guys as they arrived!

In '01, leaving California, I moved briefly to Columbia MO of all places; attending and hosting parties! Was hired to go back to Chgo by the end of '02! I started doing more after leaving the position the end of the summer in '03, hooking up practically around the clock! Parties started becoming int'l events with "stewards" putting out the word about them! - A running buddy or 2 might drag me out to SW or MC after 3 am! Something is always going on in Chicago! Anyone need a tour guide? Always available! :-)

CumBruderSS Attending IML in Chicago

After IML, probably on friday 5/31 or/and sat. 6/1 at motel out north, I intend on hosting a porn pic/star from Europe! He's quite versatile, a bit of a Scandinavian skin-head, with a mohawk the last time I saw him a couple years ago! He's built nice with a firm round butt and muscular legs! He'll be in town 5/23 to 6/3.

Just drop me a line with pics, profile, and best night for you to attend! I normally get attendees from the surrounding cities and states; as far away as Minn., Wisc., Ind., & MI! They started being int'l events when "stewards" passed the word around as they criss-crossed the globe! - Comments will be posted after IML!
