there seemed to be more than a handful of shocked (or confused) viewers of the Brooklyn Bridge strangle-fuck scene from the film Killing Me Softly at Nowhere Bar Saturday night (as part of the pornology reel I struggled to put together, and managed somehow to do, and Jeffy & Crew played on the big screen TV). so i’m hoping re-posting this movie trailer will clear things up a bit
“just another visitor from the Bahamas, OR IS HE?”
directed by: Francis Ellie (1978?)
Starring: Jack Wrangler, Stan Richards, David King, Guiseppe Welsh, and John Kovacs . With Kurt Mann, Adam Dehaven, Lance Prentis, Snapper Foster and Derek Thurston.
Jack Wrangler’s new lover has an “uncontrollable need to kill in order to have an orgasm”. So of course Jack is torn between continuing the relationship and risking death (gee, and i thought i was desperate to get a new boyfriend) or turning in his new lover (does he get to keep the apartment?). Highlights include sex (and murder) on the West Side Piers and the Brooklyn Bridge.
(seriously, turn the sound UP on this one, the voice-over at the end is fantastic!)

looking for Jack Wrangler stuff; changed video clip from WMV to MP4 – test if you can
I got the mp4 version by clicking on either the little image boxes or the link at the bottom, so it looks like you updated this one right.
I love this whole post BJ, first the preview itself because those seem like such a blast from the past nowadays, yet that was how upcoming movies were promoted before they opened. It was a different experience when watching movies in the theatres, or even renting the tapes and popping them into our VCRs though that was when the concept of porn viewing started becoming more isolated than it always was before.
Even without hearing Jack talk in this preview he communicated so well through his expressions and body movement, that it almost didn’t matter. When he reads the headline and realizes the guy he’s with is the serial killer, that’s his acting skills that make it work even just watching the visuals.
But what makes this post so great is your commentary – “i thought i was desperate to get a new boyfriend” and “does he get to keep the apartment?” :D A million or so years ago when i discovered your blog and saw not just the hot gay vintage sex, but also the trivia and the way you wrote about it, and tied it into your own thoughts, ramblings and experiences, that’s when I got hooked on you and the original incarnation, or version 1.0 I guess. You’ve kept making improvements on this version 2.0 and I just want you to know it does not go unnoticed.
awwwww, thanks! first for checking (need my quality control) and also for recognizing the work, including “rambling” that goes into keeping this blog going! always great to hear from you!
