I wanted “Batgirl XXX” to be more Extreme Associates and less Extreme Comixxx

October 12, 2012 Gram the Man 0

In an attempt to please her inappropriately sexualized father, a woman is initiated into a dangerous business while in a questionable state of mind by two masked men who have sex with her. Perhaps “Batgirl XXX” is a metaphor for porn in general.

Bonjour, Homewreckeur! Angell Summers in “Exchange Student 3”

May 4, 2012 Gram the Man 2

Charlotte Gainesbourg in “AntiChrist,” Beatrice Dalle in “Betty Blue”; It is hard to resist French women when they have their minds set on something. But will the lovely Angell Summers use her Gallic wiles for good, evil, or Crazy?
