BEST OF 2001, BY DAVID PIERSON
This generosity emanates from an industry that many regard as obscene. I regard most of the creative people who make spanking videos to be real artists and not purveyors of the obscene. Unlike most forms of adult entertainment, the spanking video requires much in the way of a creative process. There has to be a plot or scenario that the viewer can accept as plausible (at least within the universe in which the video is set), otherwise the production would be as interesting as shopping at K-Mart. The performers in the video must be able to act and deliver their lines in a believable way (even if that line is ouch!) and the videography must be of a high quality.
I see the spanking video as today's underground cinema. In the 1960's and 1970's there were filmmaker's like Andy Warhol (Ciao Manhattan) and John Waters (Pink Flamingos) who were pushing the envelope. Now, Andy Warhol is dead and John Waters makes big budget films. (Granted, he still films his movies in Baltimore, Maryland.)
In Andy Warhol's " Frankenstein" the actor Udo Kier, in the role of the demented Dr. Frankenstein, shouted " To know life you must fuck it in the gall bladder!!!". He then proceeded to do just that to the, as yet, unanimated monster. Words to live by.
I suppose that the ethic of today's spanking cinema could be " To know life you must first smack it on the ass!!". Perhaps not.
