Cafe Flesh
----------
This is the best porn film I've seen (though I confess that I'm not a
major porn connoisseur-yeah,right) and the only one with some
semblance of a plot. And I don't mean like those ridiculous films
that are rip-offs of popular films such as "Romancing the Bone",
"Rambone", "Sheeping with the Enemy". No, Cafe Flesh has a worthy
sci-fi plot.

Basically, during WWIII, there is a nuclear blast which leaves the
surviving population divided into "negatives" and "positives".
Negatives retch violently when they try to "do the nasty" and
positives are left as before. The main problem is that the split is
95% negative and 5% positive. The negatives are dying of horniness
and the closest they can come, so to speak, to getting off is to
watch others riding the high hard one.

In this utilitarian society of the future, the greatest common good
is met by recruiting positives to perform at Cafe Flesh.

Things spiral on from there with some memorable characters and some
semi-decent sex. The good thing about the sex scenes is that they are
filmed without bright lights, so buttock zits are not visible. A
criticism of the sex scenes is that they lack the sexual creativity
of such works as 'Backdoor Brides' (the "female sandwich" shot broke
all barriers of taste in the 70's, where such barriers could be
found, and still stands 20 years later as a cinematic milestone in
the genre).

This film may be limited in availability (though I hear is available
in the Good Vibrations catalog) since my friend's acquaintance's
dad made this film when she was in high school (circa 1980). I would
be proud if my dad made such a film! The coolest thing that my dad
ever did (that I know of) was to threaten people on his property
with a shotgun. One time, he held an individual who was prowling
the neighbor's property under cover of the Pops Blair special until
the police arrived. The guy claimed to be a Troy policeman in plain
clothes, but pops didn't believe him for a minute! Of course, the
guy wasn't lying and his police buds laughed at him mercilessly,
when they arrived, for being detained by a Georgia hillbilly with
a hunting rifle. But I digress. If you cannot find this film, you
may visit Ann Arbor and view my copy. I might even give you a beer.
