It was declared cancelled in January when New Line decided not to sell the fourth season at this year's NATPE convention. The thinking being that with out a US sale, there was no way to afford the production cost.

HOWEVER, producers Jeff Hayes and Peter Berggman now say that they've been contacted by two seperate companies that want to produce a season 4. So now the official status of "The Lost World" is "delayed, not cancelled".

It's a small chance but at least it's something. I'd be surprised if it ever returns with original episodes but "Lost World" has always been "the little show that could", returning from certain death twice already, so you never know.

Survey: Gorean flicks
I was wondering if the guys on this board could name a few Gorean flicks.

I call a flick "Gorean" if it involves romantic feelings between a male captor and his female captive. The romantic feelings don't have to result in sex, but there has to be some indication that they exist. There also has to be at least one bondage scene for the captive, but it doesn't have to involve sexual bondage, though it definitely can. I'll list a few examples:

1. Jupiter's Darling -- romance between captive Amytis and captor Hannibal.
2. Cheyenne -- romance between runaway wife Cheyenne and her bounty hunter captor.
3. Son of Sinbad -- romance between male leads and two harem slavegirls. (They aren't really captives of the male leads, but given that they are slavegirls and seen in bondage, it's a reasonable exception.)
4. Kiss the Girls Goodbye -- romance between female lead and her psycho captor.

Any others ya'll can think of offhand? Now, I know you are all thinking of "The Collector" and "9 1/2 Weeks," but I don't know that Miranda ever has any real romantic feelings for Ferdy, and there's no bondage in the movie version of 9 1/2 Weeks.

"Lost World" news
I had heard about the slim hope for a fourth season a few days ago. I sure hope this can become a reality! "The Lost World" is one of the best fantasy/adventure series ever made, in my opinion! If there is a fourth season, I hope they continue knocking Veronica out on a fairly regular basis. Actually, now they have an additional cast member, Finn, played by Lara Cox -- one more hot blonde to KO/capture! It would also be nice to see Marguerite in a skimpier costume, with some KO/capture/tie-up scenes for her as well! Does any one remember the sexy native girl Assai, Veronica's friend? She has only been featured in a few episodes, but she certainly left a definite impression on me --very sexy, sultry brunette! Actually, I think she was captured in an episode a while back, but I cannot remember the details right now!

She certainly didn't, in the book at least.

As for others I have a video clip of a scene somewhere but I can't find it, or remember the title right now- Highway abduction or something like that. It should go, if you include sexual desire in "romantic feelings".

We are in a room, on a bed I think, the DiD has her hands tied behind her back. The young captor doesn't look especially evil. He fondles her, in a kinda gentle way. She hesitates, gives him a moist look, then throws herself on top of him and kisses him, her hands still bound.

"Gorean?"
Excuse me, but "I call a flick 'Gorean' if it involves romantic feelings between a male captor and his female captive" is about like saying "I call a flick 'NAZI' if one or more of the characters is German."

John Norman's Gorean characters (& apparently ol' John himself) believe women are *objects* with no civil rights, unnatural in any role but *slave*, and that simple courtesy towards women is a sign of sniveling weakness.

The closest thing to a "Gorean" film I can think of is *The Abduction of Kari Swenson*, in which the abductors think that being "free" means they can kidnap & enslave any woman they happen to meet (& call it a marriage.)

The WB changed their schedule & right now it looks like the episode in question ("Baby's First Demon") will air the 30th of March (in the US.)

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down! (aka ATAME).

Which works as both a male fantasy + a female fantasy. I'm guessing that there are more than a few women who wouldn't have minded being kidnapped by Antonio Banderas (even with a bad haircut), kept bound & gagged to a bed, just because he wants to be the father to her children.

I imagine too, there have to be a sizeable number of Hostage/Kidnap storylines involving the "Stockholm Effect" of the captive falling under the sway of her captor(s). No, not the Patty Hearst movies, that was a product of brainwashing & tortue. But Soap operas probably have explored this theme more than once.

I think we're in for a disappointment here. I doubt we're going to see Liv tied up at all. There was the Domanatrix side to bettie. They could focus on that, without showing anything. Large Hollywood productions like that are the last place to find good bondage. People make it sound like Liv wanted to do this just to be bound. She could just like wearing leather,

If we are on the subject of Buck Rogers, I always loved the scene from 'The Fighting 69th' (or something) where a lackey was inexplicably instructed to place restraints on Col. Wilma's ankles in a short but memorable scene. I've always been a booted ankles fan so it has stuck in my memory as the spandex clad beauty gives the extra a sly look as he bends over and starts fastening the space-age cuffs about her ankles.

---------
Celebrity Sleuth (Volume 11, No. 1) "Star-tistics" issue listed Bettie Page at 5'5-1/2, 127 lbs. In other words, Bettie was at least of average height for an American woman in the 1950s, and fit the 1950's ideal of fleshy curves.

I can accept Liv Tyler for Bettie because: (1) She wants the part; (2) She seems to respect the history of Bettie; and (3) Tyler's figure is also made of fleshy curves, rather than the Size-2 shape of many of other Hollywood actresses her age.

What you're referring to is the rants Norman included in his stories about women being naturally subservient to men, yadda-yadda-yadda. I sorta skip over them, and don't tend to take them too seriously. Besides, Van, careful observation of the Gor novels will show that they're fiction.

Also, careful observation of the Gor novels will show that they are adventure romances. There's generally a heroine (slavegirl) who is trying to find her true love (master) against the backdrop of an exotic society in distant lands. The proud, brave, very masculine true love (master) treats her with disdain at first (enslaves her and sells her) but over the course of the story he cannot deny the powerful attraction he feels for her, and so is forced to seek her out and propose marriage (put her in his chains as his love slave).

The Gor novels are ROMANCES, Van, if you'll analyze their structure. The gaudy crap that constitutes Norman's sexual philosophy is just so much easily discarded tinsel. That's why so many women get into the Gorean thing online and in person.

I'm surprised I have to tell you these things.

Besides Rubin -- who is hot -- the movie also stars Judge Reinhold and Billy Wirth. I checked the scene database under the movie's title and Rubin's name and came up with nothing. The movie is playing in the New York area tonight, 3/14, at 8pm EST on WLNY. Thanks in advance.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

---------
Nearly all of the Database's entries for Buck Rogers occur in its 1st season. Today Sci-Fi's three airings "The Fighting 69th", "Unchained Woman", and "Planet of the Amazon Women". Two of Erin Gray's best scenes took place in the first two hours.

There was a specific reason for Col. Deering ankles being cuffed, without her hands being shackled. It's how the two villains will revenge themselves on her. Years ago, her bombing raid caused a fire that burned the man's face, ruining one side and losing an eye. His wife put out the fire with her bare hands, causing both hands to be replaced by metallic prosthetics.

So fellow captive Captain Rogers is manacled, and threatened with a blowtorch. The only way that Deering can save him will be to use her bare hands to put out the searing heat...

P.S.: Gray wasn't in her spandex suit during the scene, but in her white "pilot" uniform.

Re: LIV---BETTIE!!!

Betty has said she didn't really "get" the bondage thing and was well aware that that was why they were prosecuting Klaw. Her fetish appeal, historically, is significant but not for bondage per say. Her agressivness and her prettieness is what most media people identify with, not her submission in bondage. It's too bad because if the truth be told, it is her bondage pics that put her in a rareified league. Almost no one else ever had her combination of girl next door innocence and kinky bombshell. Monroe and Russell were the only ones close and they were not kinky at all. Emma Peel is the only prototype who is in the same league, but of course in another era; 60's liberated, sexy, powerful female thing; Bettie was the first, and in a sense, the only bondage star we've ever had. I don't know the stats, but I'll bet her later bondage pics far outsold any other genre.

So yeah, I agree, there will probably be a nod to bondage kink only, I'd be shocked if we see a gag. One can only hope the screewriter "really" knows her full appeal.

Oh... so you're saying it's formulaic fluff & I can discard Norman's philosophical 'tinsel' & *savor* the juvenile, third-rate, Edgar Rice Burroughs-wannabe plots? Thanks! & here *I* thought that just because Norman indulges in endless semi-coherent diatribes about the female's natural state being slavery that he was a woman-hater.

> I'm surprised I have to tell you these things.

I'm surprised too, Pat. It's kinda silly. My original point holds: if "Gorean" means "romance between captor & captive" then "Like Moby Dick" means "any novel set in or near salt water." :-)

First of all, the very way the Heroine falls in love with this very masculine, proud and brave Master tells a lot about Norman's self-understanding. All he has to do is enslave her, put her in chains or a hogtie; the next morning she wants nothing more in her life than have him raping her all the time.
True? In your dreams Norman!

Also, even after the romantic feelings between the super-masculine Master and the beautiful submissive slavegirl has been established, the feelings on his part are not that reliable. He often sells her, in spite.

I think, because Norman wanted him to have the full control , and prove it- on a continous basis.

The novels may be interesting as fairy tales with bondage content. They have nothing to do with real men-women relationships, or real female sexuality- and thank God for that.

Re: "Gorean?"
Yes let me just add, even though Norman sometimes wrote "how beautiful women are" - and I am sure he genuinely desired their bodies- there's no doubt in my mind he really hated their guts.

If not he would not treat them that way.
Especially revealing as to Norman's feelings towards women is the scene (I can't remember which novel- dancers of Gor maybe) where a female librarian, the day before her abduction, meets with her future Master.
What he says......no I will go find it!

Anyway, a study of Norman's relationship with his mother could be interesting!

"I have read a little," I said, uncertainly, uneasily.

"Perhaps you are the sort of woman who has read more than she has lived," he said.

"The book is on the bottom shelf," I said.

"But soon perhaps," he said, "books will be behind you."

"It is down there," I said, "on the shelf, on the bottom."

"Are you a modern woman?" he asked.

"Of course," I said. I did not know what else to say. In one sense, of course, I supposed this was terribly false.

"Yes," he said. "I can see that it is true. You are tight, and prissy."

I made as though to leave, but his eyes held me where I was, immobile. It was almost as though I was held in place, standing there, before him, by a fixed collar, mounted on a horizontal rod, extending from a wall.

"Are you one of the modern women who are intent upon destroying me?" he asked.

I regarded him, startled.

"Are you guilty of such crimes?" he asked.

Her bondage appeal is well known. It was dealt with well on the E! special about her. And there was some mainstream comic a couple of years ago (name escapes me--discussed on this page) whose heroine was b&g'ed with a little note that said 'not Betty Page'. It would be silly to make a movie about her without directly dealing with this theme.

In case you were wondering how fast lane would mess up a set up with the old spoiled-girl-who-needs-to-be-protected-setup... I'm too bored to go into details. Nothing but a putz b and g'ed in the trunk of a car.
