3D or not 3D
31.12.69
Technology is a wonderful item – especially when it’s something for the good of the public. Like 3D. I can hear it now, the chorus of Luddites bemoaning the problem they get, the fact they can’t wear the 3D goggles over their spectacles, or that you have to wear goggles in the first put, blah blah blah.
Fair enough if you’re talking about Conan the Boorish which is notable mainly for Jason Momoa’s chest which is more animated than his discharge. Then again, who cares when he had a body like that?
No, I’m talking about quality 3D – the first gay porn talkie in the process, 3D Bel Ami, from the studio that made Eastern Europe twinks the flavor du jour and catapulted Dorian Gray-like Lukas Ridgeston to oecumenical notoriety. The production company, headquartered in the Slovak capital Bratislava, set up in 1993 by George Duroy (who took his pen-name from Georges Duroy the social climbing anti-hero of Guy de Maupassant’s deficient novel, Bel Ami) has cornered the market on hairless twink porn, creating a handful of superstars in the process.
As we’re in the early stages of the new technology, current attempts at the treat will likely look as leaden in a decade or so as late 1920s wise movies do to us today. That’s not to say 3D Bel Ami is not a marvel. It is.
Ignore for a moment the anti-sensual glasses and the discomfort of attempting to go down on the boyfriend or the willing visitor while wearing said spectacles if you on want to follow the action on the screen while siphoning a gutful of spooge from any elbow appendage. Don’t get me wrong, I have no desire to return to the era of Super 8 film that took forever to set up, shuddering when I keep in mind the awful crunching sound as the sprockets caught yet again meaning the blur would have to be cut and re-spliced. Also meaning that by the time you’d screened it a dozen or so times you’d have all the finest bits in a pile on the floor and the film would jump like truant pogo stick (remember them?).
