| Saturday August 28 00:07:50 2004 Other strong (nearly required) preferences besides "gag snob"? |
| While I'm at it, I might as well bring up a subject I'd been thinking about recently.
A conversation with an online buddy of mine revealed that he is a "hands behind back" snob of sorts. Even though hands in front could be tied to the body and still be helpless, or arms could be tied to sides and be helpless, I pointed that out to him and he mentioned that his "hands behind back" interest is probably more aesthetic than anything else. And I have seen artwork by someone who is clearly a "barefoot snob". Every single picture of his has the damsels' shoes (and usually socks) conveniently off for no logical reason. It's gotten to the point where I find his art repetetive and don't look at it much, even though I happen to have a foot fetish myself. (to be honest, arbitrary barefootedness mixed with DiD is a turn-off of mine, since it makes no sense and somehow breaks down my "suspension of disbelief") Anyway, I personally am not a "snob" of any particuar thing. I may enjoy "hands behind back" and gag scenes, but I lose interest if I see too many and not enough variety of other kinds of DiD. So, are any of you "snobs" of other forms? Or have an extremely strong preference? |

Afraid I jumped the gun a bit on this one as nothings happened this week and doesn't look like anythings going to happen tonight. The scene has to be in the next week or so as the villainess is impersonating a nun as described in the database description. |

I'm glad somebody brought these releases up. They ARE BB exclusives (though I hear you can order them online from CD Universe in addition to Best Buys' site) and at least one other double feature disc should be of interest to people here: GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW/GHOST IN THE INVISIBLE BIKINI. Not only does this mark the first ever legit video release of GitB, but possibly the first time it's been presented in widescreen outside a movie house. Those close shots of Deb Walley tied to the buzzsaw conveyor are now showing a lot more hand struggling, not to mention gam :p. I (or somebody else if the spirit moves them) need to check TRANSPLANT to see what is gained/lost in the widescreen version. The DVD presents it in 1.85:1, which in many cases means that they shot it full screen and black out part of the top/bottom of the frame as seen on TV. Raffish, if you see this please: 1.) get these DVDs 2.) cap 'em 3.) post 'em 4.) brace for impact as tongues from all over hit the floor upon seeing your work. :) |

The one thing any mainstream scene needs, from my point of view, is a tight gag. I don't care if it is tape, cleave, over the mouth or stuff. If it looks like it stifles talk and breathing through the mouth, it is a winner in my book. I am a "face" freak, when it comes to bondage. I recognize the limbs are bound - but it is the actresses facial expressions that relay the "bondage" and "helplessness" to my antenae. |

I'm with you, Doug; secure gags, especially if they distort the face enough to show they are working, do it for me. Not keen on cleaves unless they are taped over, bringing the lips together outside the cloth. |

Awesome news! The GitIB scene with Deborah Walley is, in my book, one of the greatest mainstream scenes of all time. This is a film that is not aired often (not quite a holy grail since I'm sure most of us have it in our collections) but it'll be great to have it on DVD. |

Jazz when you think about isn't bondage all about aesthetics? Count me in with your buddy - I am also a "hands behind the back" snob. And here's a dumb example: the Gilligan's Island episode where they find a crate with movie equipment in the lagoon and decide to make a movie to help them get rescued. The scene in which Mary Ann is tied to the stake by the cannibal (Gilligan) wouldn't be the same for me if she had put her hands in front or left them hanging by her sides. For me the appeal of this scene is watching her almost instinctively put her hands behind her back while Gilligan wrapped the vine around her. No way it would have left such an impression on my then-young brain unless that had happened. So count me as a HBB snob. And no I don't really care that Gilligan didn't gag her, though it would have been nice. |

Anyway, according to the IMDb (long may it wave) "Lagardère" was(is) a 1967 French mini-series... so the chances of seeing it on DVD any time soon are probably slim & none. :-( The premise sounds promising. Maybe we should hope for a remake. |

Record number: 7518 Title: Lagardère (1967) aka Lagardere Medium: TV Movie Actress: Michèle Grellier aka Michele Grellier, Josée Steiner Description: In this French swashbuckler, a beautiful blonde (Grellier) is in her studio. Two men break in and gag her from behind (white cloth over the mouth) then tie her hands. One slings her over his shoulder and takes her to a carriage. There are some scenes over her in carriage as it heads along. She is wearing a black laceup bodice over a white dress. Later, she's back in the coach, but has now picked up a brunette friend (Steiner). They are wearing similar lavendar gowns and are tied and gagged (black cloth this time). The brunetted works her gag loose, then chews the ropes on her companion's wrists, eventually freeing her. They untie themselves, then leap from the carriage to safety. Double oh wow!

Cleave gags are the best but tape gags are also nice if the tape is on tight. OTM's are my least favorite because you can't see her lips. I'm not a snob on everything else. The more bindings on the damsel the better and she can be tied up with anything the binder can get his hands on. And no blindfolds. The blindfold material is better used as mouth packing for her gag. |

Or have an extremely strong preference? I like to see girls tied up, barefoot. I like to see their ankles tied, but I see where your coming from. To me, when bondage is mixed with barfeet the girls feet look wierd, either due to the cameras color hue?, thay always look to red or pink. Helpless Heroines is the worst, they constantly have barefoot scenes, but the girls look like they have ugly feet. Plus, I HATE toenail polish, but I bet Im in the minority there... |

Was the " barefoot snob " artist you described, Franco Saudelli ? He freely admits to having a foot fetish and will draw/ paint his damsels barefoot at any opportunity. As for my own preferances, I like hands tied behind the back ( why don't the girls simply pull the gag out and untie the knot with their teeth when their hands are bound in front ? ) and with a realistic cloth cleave gag. Tape gags always look like they're on the verge of falling off in the TV shows and movies I've seen them used in. |

The "barefoot snob" was named LostOneZero. I've seen Saudelli's art, and in both cases, there is a bit of a foot focus, although Saudelli's focus is more blatant and exaggerated. Anyway, going back to the topic of mainstream scenes, I've heard of no "arbitrary barefoot" tie-up scenes in them at all. Any barefoot tie-ups have come about as a result of the character already being barefoot for some logical reason such as being at home and removing their shoes (without socks) to get more comfortable, etc. |

Even when, as in Dangerous Curves, Single White Female, Chandler and Co, To My (Polish movie), The Hunter, The Brain Killer Affair, The X Files (Our Town) and others too numerous to mention, they cling to every crevice and resist vigorous face pulling? There are tape gags and tape gags! They are unconvincing when either the tape is too stiff to conform properly, the wussy actress wants a piece of card or paper to protect her lips, or much of the tack has been been taken out for the same purpose. But that isn't always! |

http://www.laurabranigan.com/Lauras_Passing.htm Record number: 2743 Title: Automan Medium: TV Series Actress: Laura Branigan Description: Episode: "Murder MTV" (1.9) Weird 80s TV series about a nerd who invents a computer generated supercop. In her first role, Laura plays Jessie Cole, who manages to get captured by the baddies, and is shown seated on the floor of a van with her wrists bound behind her, ankles also tied and cleavegagged with white cloth. Her slender, elegant legs are shown to good effect and she struggles and mmmmphs in the approved fashion. The capture (no biggie -- a gun's pointed at her by a baddie driving the van) occurs with around fifteen minutes to go, and we see her bound in the back some minutes later. |

| Saturday August 28 23:28:46 2004 Re: Other strong (nearly required) preferences besides "gag snob"? |
| I think a large part of the reason I'm not a "snob" in any category, is that, to paraphrase Van, "it's all about the story, not about the ropework/gagwork/blindfoldwork/chainwork/et al!" I didn't always see it that way, but I did at first, and I do now.
For example, I can enjoy hands-in-front scenes, if they help the story. Or non-gag scenes. Or arms at sides, etc. Not every DiD scene has to have exaggerated ropework, or the same ropework. Sometimes, someone's tied hands sitting "helplessly" in their lap - though preferably with additional rope to make sure they actually are helpless - can have a nice dramatic impact. Sometimes, someone ungagged in a villain's lair, where presumably no-one outside can hear them, can increase the drama of a scene by pleading for help. If the person is gagged, you can't see her emote with her mouth; however, she can't yell for help and is therefore more helpless. If a person is blindfolded, you can't see her emote with her eyes; however, she also can't see anything and feels more helpless, not knowing what will happen to her next. So I see pros and cons to every style, depending on what the story needs. So for me now, it really is about the story, not (just) about the bondage. Not to mention that I do get tired of the same tying method and props over and over again. |

| Saturday August 28 23:52:14 2004 Agatha Christie's Poirot and Marple |
| Another thing I wanted to bring up. I have been downloading some cartoons (mostly Japanese), partly out of interest in watching them, but also for the possibility of catching DiD scenes and clipping them later. Like when I used to clip scenes for Raffish. (which I'll probably get back to doing when he gets his new site up)
Anyway, one of the cartoons I'm getting recently is called "Agatha Christie's Great Detectives Poirot and Marple". So far, the 3 episodes I've seen have been rather light - one did feature mobsters and a gun, but most of them have been simple stuff like a jewelry theft, or even a family trying to find their hidden inhereted gold. The cartoon is shown on NHK, Japan's cultural equivalent of PBS (lots of shows about culture, educational shows, English lessons, world news, and imports). It does take liberties with the work, by introducing the original character of Maybelle, a teen who wants to become an apprentice to Poirot. The official website - which was in Japanese, but I had translated using BabelFish - said that the stories and method were kept close to the original novels. That said, does anyone know if any of Agatha Christie's novels involving Poirot or Marple have a DiD scene? I also wonder about the possibility of an original DiD scene being created for a story. The cartoon is light-hearted and more tame than Detective Conan/Case Closed, but DiD is not out of the realm of possibility. |
