It's educational. No, I'm not being sarcastic, I've learned a lot about the old porn flicks and their performers who used to fascinate me so much.
One of the things about theater-era porn was you knew literally nothing about these primitive, mysterious movies, that just seemed to magically appear at your favorite grindhouse. It gave them a strange aura no other type of pop entertainment had.
We'll never see it again. And no, I'm not getting weepy for the old days. But the factory banality of modern porn (ugh...) could use a little of that aura.
