Forgotten Films: Cruising

February 26, 2009 in Forgotten Films

If you’re anything like me (and I know you are) you often think “I wonder how Al Pacino would play a voracious power bottom?” and “Why didn’t Bruno Kirby do more gay S&M?” Well your prayers are answered today my lil’ filthy monkey with a hidden gem that I like to call Cruising. Starring Big Al as the cop, Krazy Karen Allen as the cop’s girlie and a pre-Arby’s Paul Sorvino, Cruising takes you through the early ’80′s pre-Aids gay S&M subculture in a serial killer story that has multiple narrative viewpoints and no clear cut character motivations.

All right, hold up your kittens!  Purr purr purr!  Good kitties!  Ha ha, no.

Welcome back to the tarantula club.  Had you going there for a second.  You should have seen your faces, sitting there with tarantulas in your laps.  All “What?  Kittens?  Kittens suck!”

Aren’t these new digs in Alice Von Wertschmacker Hall swell?  Sorry about all the construction noise…I’ll try to talk over it.  If your tarantulas get too bitey because of all the hammering, just remember:  Stroke, and coo.  Stroke…and coo.  That’s it. There you go.

Terrifying Image Of A Little SpiderOkay, so this is a Mongolian trapdoor spider.

It is, of course, a mygalomorph, as any asshole with eyes can see.  While this makes it a cousin to the mighty tarantula, it is no tarantula, and I am going to squish it.  Die, fucker!  Squish you!  Squish!  Dead now.
