"It can only give pleasure." Well, here we are, at the end of another Monster Lover May.

"What we felt, that was real." You will have to excuse me. It was a long weekend here in Canada and I partied hard, so this review might be a little scant. Like I said, I partied hard. Just like the ladies in this film! If you look around at the critical reception, you might think Meridian is a bad movie. Perhaps it is. But, I liked it. At first I was worried I was in for a bad time. The film opens with what look like the rejects from the Safety Dance music video parading out of a giant statue with truly terrible music. But as things progress I found myself both beguiled

Title: Tanya's Island Year: 1980 Starring: Vanity, Richard Sargent, Don McLeod Director: Alfred Sole Synopsis: Tanya is a female model who lives with her boyfriend Lobo, a surrealist painter who is extremely violent.

"You're lonely, aren't you? I understand." Canada, sit down. We need to have a little talk. What are we doing? We've made some truly great works of adult entertainment. We were instrumental in bringing Heavy Metal into the world. Just recently Mindgeek, the company who owns Pornhub and a slew of other porn sites, was purchased by a Canadian company. Then, we passed a law to ensure more Canadian content in porn. All sound like good things, don'

After the first difficulties of the man to get an erection, the woman leaves. He follows her but finds a strange creature with a monstrous appearance. - via Letterboxd.com Lilith's Notes: One of the best monsterfucker movies I've seen! Warning: I watched this in it’s native language without any subtitles nor knowing Italian. The movie was well crafted and felt straight forward, but I might have misunderstood things that were clarified with the dialog. Good porn, great stories, true art, transcends boundaries. We're all human, we all like something in some way. All across the spectrum of human sexuality, if something is exceptional, it will appeal to many people in one way or another. Some of the best films I have found throughout the lifespan of the blog have been the

"Inside you." A little while ago, before everything went to shit, there was a thread on The Bird App listing monsterfucker movies. I think this is what I'll miss the most about that place, it shared the wealth. And that wealth was porn. Of course, I added my fledgling wisdom to the conversation and then coveted the thread in anticipation of… Monste
