World premiere new 2K restoration!
Monday, December 9, 2024 7PM
IFC CENTER 323 6th avenue, New York, NY 10014

I figured since most of us can’t go, I’d post this 1984 article/interview from Manifest magazine. Here’s a zip file of the pages if you prefer to download for yourself. But before I end my celebration of all that is DADDY DEAREST, there is one thing that’s been bothering me ever since I saw it’s getting this great restoration and screening (OK, besides me not being there!) Check this out from the description on the IFC website: “Edward Thompson (Daniel Holt) is a gay porno filmmaker hard at work on his latest epic: the tacky story of a pair of college buddies (Dean Johnson and Andrew Dupree) wanting to hook up with an older daddy (Richard Locke) called Fuck Me, Fuck Me, Daddy! But as shooting gets underway…. – “tacky story”?? who wrote that? what’s so “tacky” about it? Am I being weird about the poor choice of words? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I know it’s not an “intriguing story” or “compelling story” or “sad story” or or or… I could go on, right?!! But tacky??? Simple story, “age old story” “relatable story” I mean, tacky – was this in like the original publicity? I’m getting myself worked up – oh harummmmph!
