I went record hunting today and didn't find anything too amazing, but I am drunk and came home to Devil And The Almighty Blues which is in my top 3 for the year. So I'm pretty stoked right now. I also came home to a new Foo print, and got a new Foo 7" earlier in the mail. It's a good weekend.

Ha ha : P

I'm 16, and don't even ask about the learner's permit.

I got my learner's permit on my 16th birthday and then took driver's ed so I could get my license. I ended up not even bothering with getting my license until I was 18.

Which was still 10 fucking years ago, Jesus Christ I'm old.

That was really fucking boring. Why is there so much hype? Other than the obvious. Thought it was supposed to be scary too.

 

Most of the hype surrounded the ensuing trial for indecency/murder, the snuff film/animal cruelty allegations, and the countrywide censorship of it for obscenity.  It was quite a shocking and innovative film for the time.  It paved the way for a lot of other films.

I guess. I'm kinda surprised it wasn't banned in America because of the nudity. There were more than a handful of kids in the tribes. Not sure how the laws are written but it seems like something some politician would have had a field day with. I mean, it obviously wasn't child porn, but that seems like something someone would have been upset about. Guess in the grand scheme of things that was the least of concerns

America is a lot more loose in their restrictions than a lot of other countries (I'm looking at you Australia/New Zealand), though sexuality is a bit more taboo here than in Europe.  Though, then again, this was in the wake of Deep Throat (or at least 8 years after), so there was a lot more laxity on sexuality in media since then.

 

I think the biggest deal was the animal cruelty, to be honest.
