deciding the best title for a post sometimes takes up way too much of my time – but often it comes down to visuals – if it’s “fun” but lengthy, then it runs into 2 lines, and doesn’t look so great. For example, I was going to title this “Shawn Michaels struggling to pull on his shorts turned me gay”
Randy (Jim Bentley) and Kurt (Shawn Michaels) stop at a gas station for beer. Two blonds (Joe Gere & unknown blond #2) invite them to get high in their van, but Kurt is sidetracked by Debbie, a girl from class he runs into who needs a ride home. Randy jumps into the van with the blonds and they take hits from a bong……
Getting It (California Dream Machine, 1985) – review on REDDIT
8 replies on “unknown blond #2”
Co-starring David Lee Roth (peering over Joe Gere’s shoulder in pic #3 above) and, later in the film, Def Leppard and Adam Ant hanging on the walls of Jim Bentley’s bedroom. (Not to mention Skip’s bedroom with more posters and the letters SKIP hanging on his wall…) I know you’ve indicated an interest in posters seen on walls before, like the shirtless guy with the towel around his neck in Michael Christopher’s bedroom from Pleasure Beach, who I can’t recall if you ever established who that was …
I’m reasonably sure that the unknown blond with Jim Bentley and Joe Gere above went by David Calvin in at least two other films, Buster: The Best Years and Preppy Summer. I don’t remember his scene with Buster but I have Preppy Summer, a 1985 Higgins companion piece to his 1984 California Summer that shared some of the same cast and underwater pool sequences. The title card from Preppy Summer has a face shot of each guy during the opening credits, and you can see David’s from that film here:

And if definitely looks like the same guy from this scene, since there are quite a few close up face shots of him. In fact while Jim was toking on the bong and Joe and (probably) David were looking at each other, I was reminded of the subway sequence with Jeff Quinn that you posted not long ago, and made the comparison to ‘acting with their eyes’ from the Hitchcock film. Just before Jim was so taken aback when David grabs his dickhead peeking out from his skimpy shorts.
Thanks for these posts BJ, I’ve told you how much I liked Getting It even if most of the rest of the film gets confusing in telling who is doing what to who, at least until the finale.
Awesome ID, Zephyr!
David Calvin, Joe Gere, Jim Bentley. Maybe blondes do have more fun.
Thanks, David was one of my unknowns from this film for many years. I knew I had seen him in something else but the credits for Getting It only had a long list of names, some of which were aliases that can be really hard to connect to the other scenes a guy appeared in. Not to mention the magazine shots where often the models aren’t credited at all, as I know you, BJ and lots of the commenters here know as well. I’d have to rewatch it but I think David’s scene from Preppy Summer involves squirting a grease gun up his ass (or someone else’s) and using it as lube for fucking, that’s the kind of thing that sounds hotter than it likely really is.
There were a lot of blonds in Getting It, in addition to all three blonds above there was also Chris Burns, Chris Allen and Dane Ford, and probably a few more in the extended pool orgy. And they all seemed to be having fun.
my notes from when I sold the VHS of Preppy Summer – “David Calvin, Joe Craig and Mark Kline start by trying to tune up their convertible, but get distracted by each other’s crotches ” eBay was at a point of not allowing naughty descriptions.
I remember you mentioning something about having to come up with euphemisms for your ebay descriptions, may have been way back on your 1.0 version of the blog even, to avoid staying out of ebay jail. The gevi scene description is pretty basic, it just says the three of them are in a garage but since I just rewatched the scene I can first confirm that the two guys are the same, David in Preppy is the ‘unknown blond’ from Getting It, but also could give some more details of the Preppy scene with him:
Mark, in a white shirt, is driving a blue Mustang convertible down a winding road, with shirtless Joe next to him and David in a purple shirt in the back seat. They show up at a garage where Tim Richards tells them to pull the car in and close up the garage when they are done tuning it up. They find some porn magazines and start groping themselves, then David is on his knees blowing Mark and Joe, separately then sucking both dickheads at once. Mark and David get in the car with their asses hanging over the side, when Joe inserts a grease gun into both their butts and squirts grease up there until it starts to leak out, also lubing up his dick. Joe fucks David first then Mark, Joe cums on Mark’s ass then Joe gets on his knees so David and Mark can exit the car and cum on Joe’s face. Joe then fucks David on the floor of the garage while Mark watches, and they all stroke out another load.
There’s some very interesting underwater camera shots in both Preppy and California Summer, including the guys dunking each other, swimming and splashing around, but then also sucking, fucking and even a few cumshots that float away. I’m almost sure that they were filmed at the same time since the backyard pool looks the same in both movies, and a few of the guys are in both films like Ken Kerns and Tim Richards.
Now I need to see Preppy Summer.
I can remember my parents telling me when I was a kid to never get in a car with a stranger, but I think Jim Bentley made the right choice.
That’s a blond triple decker sandwich that I’d be happy to be a part of.
Blond Shawn Michaels is not invited.
