The Honest Courtesan

We took matters into our own paws.

It’s rare that I feature a full-length movie in this slot, but Gustavo Turner pointed out that this little-known surrealist film had a major influence on the late David Lynch.  The links above it were provided by Charles Hill, IncarcerNation (x2), Popehat, Phoenix Calida, and Scott Greenfield, in that order.

• “Never” really does mean “never”.
• Cops murder man for being robbed.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one.  Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful.  But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer.  So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets.  Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements.  Thanks so much!
