Nightdreams 2 (Rinse Dream, 1990)

How does this work again? You watch a particular movie... then you... uh... do something or something. Speaking of launching pituitary tumors into outer space, I want the specter of my newly constructed lady speckle to be placed inside the smoldering skin pit located under my right arm. Wait, why stop at one underarm? Ooooh! I would like, if it's not too much trouble, to have a festering lady speckle festooned under each arm. Yeah, that sounds like the most reasonable request ever requested from a brain that's totally not covered in blisters. It should go without saying, but I am so looking forward to giving a high-five while wearing a tank top after getting my government subsidized lady speckles. My new lady speckles sparkle in the unforgiving light of day. Think about it, with two gorgeous little slits under each arm, I'll be the most popular girl in this disease-ridden moist towelette of a universe. In case you're wondering, my wet-naps don't violate Sharia law. And to think, I'll have Nightdreams 2 to thank for that. Not only for making my already bangin' bod even more delectable, but for single-handedly giving rise to the vaginal armpit deodorant industry. Hold up, Nightdreams 2 is written and directed by Rinse Dream! How did this happen? Too be honest, I'm not entirely sure. All I know is, I feel profound sense of relief. Not having a review (a.k.a. words typed in conjunctivitis with projected pus fragments that may cause bemusement and/or bewilderment) pertaining to the sequel to the original Nightdreams on here has always irked me. This has been a long time coming. Of course, there's no way this "video" could live up to the hype I created inside my head over the past ten years. But I was strangely comforted to hear the words, "I know you're watching me" once more. And again. And again... and several more times for good measure.

 
I'm reminded of birth defects, scarlet fever and the comment section for the YouTube video about the 33rd Waffen SS Grenadier Division of SS Charlemagne. In that, it's a microcosm of Ahhhh! These people are going to find a way to duplicate themselves. You just wait.
 

Right off the bat, the music score by Double Vision is funky, groovy, jazzy and is filled with weird ass noises that sound like indigestion. Oh my God! Is Tom Byron going to continue to sport that stupid expression on his face for the entire movie? I hope not. I'll say this about him, his cock has an okay head on its shaft-like shoulders.
 


The fine not-so upstanding citizens who run this... Asylum? Sanatorium? Bed & Breakfast? Clinic? Should really think about getting some less dangerous furniture. Though, it should be noted the reason Joey Silvera looks so shocked as he watches Tianna and Tom Byron perform the longest wet hug in history has nothing to do with unsafe amenities. He's, like, where's Tianna's cock? I bet he's hoping that her character grows a long erectile clitoris at the anterior end of her vulva. I think he would lick that. I mean, like that.
 

While pretending to write on a piece of paper attached to a clipboard, Joey Silvera's Dr. Haunt tells Lauren Brice's Dr. Sledge that he's "gathering data." I don't believe him for a second. He's either using the clipboard to obscure his sort of raging early '90s porno hard on from view or doing a logic-based combinatorics number-placement puzzle. What's that? Maybe he's doing both? Yeah, baby! Multitasking like a boss, yo.
 

On moist days, I like to imagine myself as a clitoral chambermaid. One who is gleefully saddled with the task of sifting through uranium soaked soil in search of out of the ordinary orgasm deposits.
 

She cut off her balls because she wanted to frustrate doctors and scientists by rendering the physical representation of her orgasm invisible to the non-glistening eye. Her plan backfires when an elongated clitoris grows in its place. You nurture it by rubbing it. And that's exactly what she does every night before self-induced unconsciousness takes over the luminous cloud that swirls above her head like a tornado. 


Oooh! Stockings! Remember those? Mouthwatering legs encased in stockings. Oh, yes. While wearing white stockings, Dr. Sledge is talking to a patient in black stockings with her legs wide open. I'm not the best at reading body language, but I think Dr. Sledge is about to starting poking and probing her patient's Lima bean-shaped glandular girl thing with her tongue... all the while bathed in blue rinsey dreamy gutter light.
 

Quick lucidity-based observation: This feels more like a continuation of the Dr. Caligari universe than it does the Nightdreams one. Hell, even Lauren Brice's voice and mannerisms reminded me of Madeleine Reynal's demented doctor. (So, it's sort of the porn version of Dr. Caligari?) Not quite. One enlarged clit and one armpit vaginal cavity don't make it Dr. Caligari. Uh-uh.
 

According to the opening credits, the "special" makeup effects were done by Otis Elwell. I know, Otis who? I can't seem to find his name listed among the twenty odd makeup artists who worked on Dr. Caligari. Hmmm. Either way, this motherfucker makes a mean armpit vagina.
 

The way too brief underarm cunnilingus scene is an excellent mix of off-kilter and body horror. And it perfectly encapsulates the idiosyncratic appeal of Rinse Dream. If only the entire film had been able to maintain this level of inventiveness. But let's be realistic, there will be no sentient box of Cream of Wheat at the end of this rainbow.

The Amateurs (Usama Alshaibi, 2003)

 
I don't remember François Truffaut or Karen Finley being mentioned in any of Ed Powers' depressing Dirty Debutantes movies. But then again, I haven't seen all that many (THANK GOD!!!!!). I can see a wall of pornographic videotapes at one of the many adult video retailers I accidentally walked into over and over again back in the day. The innocent faces of the women peering back at me from the cover boxes. Sadness mixed with shame. A boatload of regret. If I remember correctly, the guy behind the counter reeked of hot dogs and rape.

I think there was a screening room at the back... there was a curtain... so, I couldn't see what was going on... but I recall hearing a lot of moaning.

People eat Ethiopian food at an Ethiopian restaurant in that location nowadays.

I wonder if they realize the walls are encrusted with at least twenty years worth of failure-tinged jizz as they make their order.

So, yeah, Usama Alshaibi's The Amateurs pays tribute to/mocks/ridicules/celebrates the pathetic hilariousness that is amateur porn.

 
It opens with two would be performers being interviewed by a director.

When Camilla Ha (as Mini Chang) name-drops Karen Finley (the mom from You Killed Me First), I relaxed immediately.

The conversation that follows is funny and stupid simultaneously. 

The guy in the wig won't perform unless a fish is produced... the director doesn't have any fish... he demands that the two potential performers get with "the suck and the fuck."

"We don't do kink."



The next interview is depressing. Uh, yeah. I don't want to talk about it.
 
 
Spoiler alert: "Princess" injured her eye with a pool cue while drinking moonshine. lol


Reluctant to perform with a woman with one eye... the director tries to convince his non-dashing male lead that it's okay by telling him that: "Not everyone has two eyes."

When the non-dashing male lead offers to warm up the speculum he's been instructed to insert into Princess' pussy, I nearly lost it. So romantic!


Next up is Echo and Coco... Um, the wide-eyed Echo needs to take a shit and Coco's filthy white t-shirt gave me a pseudo yeast infection.


Hi, Billy and Kalyx... thanks... bye! Worst annilingus ever!

Yay! Woo-hoo! I'm done with the Solar Anus Cinema collection. 🎉 I managed to type words about every single one of them. Of course, I didn't have to... but, in a way, I did. And I'm beaming with misguided pride. What I think I learned is that, um, porn is gay, and that Ukrainian women and sort of Ukrainian women need our support (now more than ever). Now, who wants to order Ethiopian, er, I mean, Thai food?

Gash (Usama Alshaibi, 2008)


Always writhing, always opening their oral cavities in ways that are clearly unorthodox.

This is Gash... and there is a gash.

It's on Katinka's pelvis.

It's pretty infected...

The gash, that is.

Wait. Is that a dental mouth opener?

"It's all relative to the size of your steeple."

Cool.

You know what else is cool?

(Your legs encased in black stockings?)

Well, yeah. But I was thinking about... "Gashed Senses and Crossfire" by Front Line Assembly.


 
At any rate, I love it when Usama Alshaibi uses props in his movies.

Do you remember that knife from Slaughtered Pigtails? I was comforted by its appearance, as it was something I could relate to.

Well, I felt the same way about the dental mouth opener.

The dental mouth opener caused Katinka to lose control of her saliva.

And since I like saliva... I nodded approvingly.

I think there's only one more of these things left.

Organ Molly (Usama Alshaibi, 2008)


I just watched Molly Plunk lounge irregularly on a mattress to organ music.

ORGAN is an HOMONYM


Molly has organs but they're inside her body for the duration of this film.

Just in case her skin fails to prevent her organs from spilling out, she has in·gen·ious·ly chosen to encase her lower half in multiple pairs of pantyhose.


Quirky fun-fact: Whenever I used to type the word "pantyhose," a wave of perversion would wash over my aura like a shame-soaked tsunami. But nowadays I can type "pantyhose" with a buttery ease.

Isn't that interesting?

(It's on the cusp of being interesting. Meaning, it's sort of interesting)

 
Anyway, Molly seems to be having fun... you know, with the semi-naked writhing and all.

It's like a peep show loop from 1969/1970. But with delusions of artfulness.


Word on the street is that Molly was paid in burritos to be in this film.

One burrito at the beginning of filming, another burrito upon completion.   


Truth be told, I spent the bulk of the film trying to imagine how severe Molly's future hysterectomy scar is going to be.

Runaway (Usama Alshaibi, 2008)


A young naked woman dances sheepishly in the dark to dark ambient music (with Del Shannon undertones).


A light shines on her occasionally.

This light seems to make her even more sheepish.



The film is called Runaway... and I guess the sheepish dancer at the center of it is trapped in some kind of shadowy nightmare world. I'm also guessing that the people in charge of this nightmare world are forcing her to perform in order to foster the sexual arousal of total strangers.
