Bumfights 3: The Felony Footage
Yes, the films that launched a thousand lawsuits; Bumfights… is back.
After making literally millions from the web from these sick, schtick and
slick tapes the Bumfight crew got hold of… as they say ‘good
lawyers’ who then proceeded to make all the legal problems go away.
Ahhhh freedom of speech. Hence all the footage that the man tried to ban
is here on the craziest example of American moral degeneracy to date. There
is something more to Bumfights 3 though than mere exploitation. Bush shits
all over the homeless but here their antics and mistreatment bring home a
painful truth that is simply painful and is directly confrontational in showing
the decline of western civilisation. We are not just spectators in Bumfights
we are participants. The evil of our society is not out there as some ‘other’,
it is in you and I and everybody in the Western world. This film brings that
painful fact home. Rufus the stunt bum is like a boozed up Charlie Manson
let out of jail in Vegas with a 40 ounce, hookers and limo. Bling Bling is
smoking his pipe and getting abducted by space aliens and Donnie is a strange
cat indeed as Rufus throws a special S&M birthday party for him. See
to believe.

Bling Bling: Bling a Long
Yes the world’s most famous crack head Bling Bling is back with a
bunch of tunes and new video for you all to enjoy. This is the funniest
thing Bumfight crew have done as they collaborate rather than exploit da
Bling Bling in a series of pranks on capitalist society. Features some hilarious
songs from da Blingster that sound a lot better than the last Eminem
album… so
check it out here folks. There is something truly likeable about Bling
Bling and this tape proves it. When you hear this…click click…when
we come in… your gonna hear this…click click.

The Hidden Fuhrer
Dir Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato
Was Hitler gay? German Historian Lothar Mactan thinks so and proceeds
to drag the Fuhrer goose stepping out of the closet in this fascinating
doco by Party Monster creators Bailey and Barbato. There was always
something a little queer in more ways than one about all that lederhosen,
choreographed marching and male machismo of da Third Reich. Here ole Adi
is shown in this doco to be a secret homosexual bonking Speer and others
in secret sexual liaisons. This film caused controversy OS in the gay community
as the subject was hotly debated. Is Hitler a gay icon? What with Antony
and the Johnson’s
track “Hitler in my Heart” on his debut CD… are we in
the midst of a queer confrontation with a possibly Gay Fuhrer. They left
that part out of “Downfall” didn’t they? Hitler would look
nice in a tutu though, don’t you think?

THE ROLLING STONES: COCKSUCKER BLUES
Dir. Robert Frank | 1972 | USA |
Fans of the world’s greatest rock and roll band will not want to miss
a rare screening of this hard-to-find, controversial documentary. Filmed
in “cinema verite” style, it concentrates on the backstage antics
of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Charlie Watts and Bill
Wyman. This inside look at the Stones’ 1972 US Tour has been described
as the greatest rock and roll documentary ever made, and it is as provocative
today as it was in the decade of decadence.
