The clip after the jump may be the most hilariously disturbing thing I have ever seen. A friend slipped this scene quietly onto a video he made for me and it changed my life forever. I have shown this video to everyone who I can force to watch it and the reaction has always been the same - beautiful howling horrors.
Enjoy! (NSFW *porn* after jump!!!)
NOTE: This scene features a blowjob. Yes, a blowjob. But it is unlike any blowjob you will ever again see, ever. It's not gonzo or gross or anything, it's just...well...it's wrong so many ways that don't even have to do with oral sex. You'll see.
That said - it is NOT SAFE FOR WORK.
This film features a slew of surrealistic scenes that are only vaguely sexy even though they feature tons of body parts. Masked men. Scenes in Hell. Talking fish. Cream of Wheat! What the heck is going on?
The film is Nightdreams. It is indeed a porno. But it is no ordinary porno. This film was a groundbreaking porno in that it was actually made to be - well - art! What there is for a story involves a woman in a mental institution who is sexually insane and whose dreams are being monitored by a pair of doctors. This is the springboard for all kinds of surreal sexual shenanigans - none of which are all that sexy. To that end it makes porno movie watchers unhappy, but they tend to start out unhappy anyway, so who cares. For the rest of us, it makes for a psychedelic trip full of disturbing imagery. The word I best saw associated with this film would be phantasmagorical.
The team behind Nightdreams is also rather unique. Director Francis Delia went on to direct lots of music videos (like Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me") and television. Co-writer Jerry Stahl went on to pen episodes for Moonlighting, thirtysomething, Twin Peaks, and ALF, before having a coke-induced breakdown that lead him to writing the best selling memoir Permanent Midnight. But the driving force behind this film is writer Stephen Sayadian, aka Rinse Dream. He moved quickly into the director's chair and became a cottage industry of his own. His other New Wave porns like Cafe Flesh and Dr. Caligari (not even straight porn - just a hard R) almost single handedly legitimized sex movies in the 80s. Almost.
And if you think the scene here is amazing, wait until you see what they do to Wall of Voodoo's version of "Ring of Fire". But you'll have to find your own copy to see that one!
I'm stunned! I have nothing else to say.

This was also the first porno movie I ever owned, having traded something for it from a fellow student who had an amazing beta porno collection, back in the day. While not the first porno movie I ever saw, it gave me the false expectation that all movies would be a little like this. Sadly, the rest off the golden-age porn was pretty mundane, by comparison.
This movie is difficult to find. Joining a Yahoo forum in search of such a thing will leave you both slimey feeling and make you wonder why people would spend inordinate amounts of time talking about movies made twenty years ago. Almost all discussion there on Nightdreams star Dorothy LeMay fixate on a movie she did where she plays an underage girl. Eeew!

It is indeed hard to find, but it is bittorrent-y. That's how I finally snagged a good copy, instead of my beaten up VHS.
As for outmeal - I've always thought it would be fun to make a follow-up scene involving Quaker Oats. But then I think of Wilford Brimley somehow being involved and I get the chills...

I meant oatmeal, but I am now going to market a new brand of "Outmeal". It will sell like crazy in Provincetown.

Well fine, *you* can just figure out a way for me to concentrate on work the rest of the morning.

not that hard to find...it IS available on dvd.

This is almost as bad as Edward Penishands. I made a compilation of the worst parts of Edward Penishands set to a cheery tune and posted it here if you'd like to take a watch. Be warned, it's scarring.

It is available on bittorrent here and here.
The version on BitTorrent is exactly the same as the newzfind.com version above; with the two parts concatenated into a single file. I could not find it on BitTorrent, so I uploaded it this afternoon. After a few hours, it currently has... 479 downloaders and 198 seeds, so you're probably good to go.

Anyone else a fan of yet another slightly odd adult film called Fabodjantan? Participants are aroused by the blowing of a horn...there's also food. Torrent.

Declaring this NOT SAFE FOR WORK after your introduction is a bit of understatement, don't you think Clinton? How about, PORN ALERT at the very tippy top of the post? Prudes pledge too, you know.

I've rented Night Dreams as well as Behind The Green Door, and I fell asleep during both of their first scenes. It's good that you've got a scene from youtube, because while I am amused, I know I wouldn't be for long. Must've done wonders for my subconscious.
However, Cafe Flesh is one of my favorite movies. I strongly suggest that anyone remotely amused by this post look it up. There's sanitary edits in youtube and the material that was later used in the soundtrack by Mitchell Froom is at 7 Black Notes, interspliced with dialogue from the movie. If it's no longer there, let me know and I will upload it.
Also, I always thought that Edward Penishands was just a myth around the schoolyards. God Save Us.

Boil - I thought the paragraph describing the scene as a blowjob covered that. I wasn't trying to dupe anyone into watching porn...and I'm sorry if you missed that part.
That said, is something this weird really porn, or is it something else entirely?
Avro - Thanks for the link to the Cafe Flesh soundtrack. I agree that it is certainly the better film, but Nightdreams is where it all started. Still, I usually only watch the Cream of Wheat scene and not the whole film.

it's something else entirely, Potsie

A few weeks ago I happened to see a terrible episode of C.S.I. while on a fever-induced cable bender. This particular episode was about a certain subset of folks that dress up in animal costumes and get off by writhing about in what was termed a "furpile". It made me think that maybe a Reagan/Patco solution could have been the right thing for the writers strike. After viewing this fine clip, and after vowing to eat breakfast three times a day, I rambled about the internet and found that Jerry Stahl is a writer for C.S.I., and is responsible for the episode entitled "Fur and Loathing". Now everything in the entire universe makes sense.

I saw that CSI episode on SpikeTV's CSI Fetish Week! I love that one!

If you liked this one, you'll love "Forbidden Zone" starring Hervé Villechaize.

How that toast going to up and bite he breakfast owner! LOL
I take a bite outta that crime, JK!

I have "Nightdreams" on DVD. It's totally worth having for the "Cream of Wheat" scene and, especially, the Wall of Voodoo "Ring of Fire" scene. I just really like that song and this was when porn-nymphet Danielle [Martin] was still almost cute before becoming an addled washout.
Anyone ever see "Apartment Zero" with Colin Firth? Check the marquee on the theater at the end of the film: "Cafe Flesh" is what's playing!

yeah, um, AWESOME! (and I think I'm going to go make some toast now :) )

I think it's attractive, because it advertise a very academic-focussed attitude. Preserving the honestness of the academic system seems to be a order, although candidly disallow salaried ads for such a service seems a frail response. When the enterprise is known by your friends who were animated with the results of the combination, about this good post . But don't foreget always to use plagiarism check run them through this plagiarism detection system for absolute checking and make sure that your material is authentic.
