> Don't worry Brian, > Reed, Tyson, Scott and I will 'stress' the importance of > proofreading to Jay L for you. ;) I know Jay knows this, but my message was not in any way meant to disparage him or the job he or any other of the editors does. I know I don't say this often enough, because I'd have to post it every hour of every day, but I want to express my gratitude to Jay, David, Biff and the other editors for the trememdous job they do, completely voluntarily. Without their efforts, I'd be hard pressed to keep up with needed changes, let alone all the added things they do on their own. |

| A drastically needed update, IMHO.
BTW, Brian and co.: let me know if you're in need of more editors. I've got a bit of free time on my hands and believe I'd be good at it. -- I tell of a kitschy Italian horror film from 1965 which is now available on DVD. It's both surprisingly entertaining, and quite the bondage-fest (though no gags are in evidence). At the 36-minute mark, Kinojo (played by Tahi) is suspended with leather thongs, in a vertical spreadeagle, upon a giant rope spiderweb. She's wearing only a two-piece sixties-style item that might best be described as a swimsuit. (The cover art, available at the IMDb, shows this scene, though the swimsuit is blue on the cover but red in the film.) As the hero painstakingly tries to save our damsel by slipping beneath a second web of ropes that will release fatal arrows if touched, we are treated to many medium and long shots, from both front and back, of Kinojo struggling as a mechanical spider with poison claws approaches her. Unfortunately, the spider reaches Kinojo just before the hero, and she meets her demise. Very sad, but it's still a memorable bondage scene which strongly suggests that director Massimo Pupillo was "one of us." 49 minutes in, we find Annie and Nancy (played by Klein and Benussi, respectively) standing, with arms spread to their sides by manacles, to opposite sides of a rotating wooden structure. Nancy wears a strapless black bra and some unapologetically tight white shorts. (Camel toe, anyone?) Meanwhile, Annie is dressed in a thoroughly impractical white minidress which reveals much of her cleavage and even more of her black panties. As the structure rotates, it brings our damsels ever closer to the knives that the outrageously campy villian, the reincarnated "Crimson Executioner," keeps shoving forward. Nancy's bra gets partially shredded, and blood is drawn on both women, before the device fails and the CE decides to switch gears. That switch occurs at the 55-minute mark, when we see Annie now bound in a kneeling position, wrists secured in front of her by some sort of stock-like device, as a flume pours icewater onto her back. Meanwhile, Nancy, still bloody at chest level, has been secured -- ankles spread in manacles, arms tied together overhead with rope -- to the inevitable Rack. (As is typical in such scenes, her "stretching" isn't particularly convincing. Since I'm not personally into S&M, though, I actually appreciated this.) Incidentally, she is killed by an arrow shortly hereafter, though after she's been released from bondage. The fourth sequence, from a movie that thankfully doesn't know when to quit, occurs 65 minutes in. Here we find Edith (played by Baratto), nude except for her black panties, manacled upon a metal bovine sculpture of sorts. She's face-down, with ankles spread and wrists manacled together above her head. The ever-manic SE begins to shovel coal into the belly of the sculpture, thereby feeding the fire that may eventually cause Edith's demise from heat exhaustion -- though in a blatant continuity gaffe, the flames are visible in close-up but completely absent from the medium shots. Meanwhile, Annie has been manacled upon a vertical X-frame. (Her ankles aren't bound, but stepping off the narrow footrests would leave her painfully suspended.) In an uncharacteristic concession to bad bondage hardware, the medium shots clearly demonstrate that the manacles in this case are of the six-inch-diameter, "damsel must struggle to keep her hands *in* them," variety. Annie later falls victim to a fatal arrow as well, though once again, not while bound. At least Edith is rescued. |

| I must admit, I have grown a little insecure in here, because of the "Nash Bridges" thing a few days ago, and other things.
But, since I use the DB a lot, and really enjoy it, I still want to contribute if I can. Yesterday I saw an American TV movie, I had searced for it in DB beforehand, found nothing, and therefore was quite surprised to see (and record) a bondage scene. Record nr. 7751. If you would give me some feedback-is the description OK, too detailed, is there something you would not have included yourself, I would highly appreciate it. I am not looking for praise, just some guiding arrow to tune in by. Regards, Per. |

| "I must admit, I have grown a little insecure in here, because of the "Nash Bridges" thing a few days ago, and other things." Why? You posted here from G-Man's site and a DB entry reference, correct? You wouldn't have seen Entry Instruction #4 going that route, so it was posted up here for you to consider. Then you were asked if your joke wouldn't be better off on Discussion or AG pages, correct? I told you I knew you were trying to contribute. Where in my posts did you feel I was getting acid with you? "But, since I use the DB a lot, and really enjoy it, I still want to contribute if I can." Again, know you're trying to contribute. "Record nr. 7751. If you would give me some feedback-is the description OK," [#7751] looks fine to me. I'd have specified No Gag As there are alot of collectors that won't bother with a scene with no gag. We've been trying to get rough scene times in there as well. But the entry is okay. |

OK I should have been specific, no gag. I will remember that. As of the scene times, all I can say the action occured in the last half of the movie. As said, it is all flashbacks, the film cutter must have been manic, and it was actually extremely difficult to tape, getting most of it, and not using half a 2.40 min tape on it. I cant be moore specific. Overall its OK you think, I am glad. |

> Where in my posts did you feel I was getting acid with > you? I didnt, really. I was just coming from the AG forum, that is, with a high paranoia treshold. I know thats no excuse for my implications, and I apologize Jay. I just reread your post, and didnt see anything that I should complain about. (The apologizing business is becoming an industry for me, here and in discussion. Thank God I am going on a holiday now, and maybe I should reconsider my participation in Anything Goes. Doesnt seem to be strenghtening my nerves) |

Oops, I forgot: the original Italian title of this flick is "Il Boia scarlatto," which is alphabetized in the IMDb as "Boia scarlatto, Il." |
