...DIRTY HARRY is the vilest of the bunch. Unlike the other two, it has no pretensions of art; it is a simply told story of the Nietszchean superman and his sado-masochistic pleasures. The hero is Clint Eastwood, a tough cop who carries a Magnum .44, "the most powerful handgun in the world," and brandishes it at a world which is so cowardly, stupid, and slow as to be beneath contempt. His quarry is a sniggering psychopath, a blank-faced embodiment of evil who personifies all that the American tough mentality despises: long-haired, pacifistic, whiny, effeminate. Harry tracks...
...shown to children. Is it too much to ask that these films not be made? We do not need any more laws governing what can be shown and what cannot; but we can all place some pressure on producers and distributors to stop offering us fascist propaganda and sado-masochistic wet dreams. If we do not, we may soon find our screens completely filled with screaming faces, broken teeth, and rivers of red, red blood...
...California at that time were the advertising geniuses. The three main ones that Sanders mentions are the Process Church of the Final Judgement (better known to Cambridge residents as just "The Process."); the Solar Lodge of the Ordo Temple Orientis, who drink blood, hate blacks, and religiously indulge in sado-sodo sex and magic; and the Kirke Order of Dog Blood, which means just what it says.

What is Hammer really promoting: Sado-sexuality? Occultism? "Pure entertainment," insists Sir James. "I see the rushes every Monday to make sure there are no sick-making scenes and no explicit sex or violence." Still, there is plenty of implicit sex and violence, and the simulated gore is the reddest to be seen anywhere (at $70 a gallon). Sir James views it all with the sanguine air of a man who started as the operator of a chain of movie theaters in London's Hammersmith area (the source of the name Hammer). His Spanish-born father established the chain...
Buckley and Goldstein piously proclaim that their sheet is not just another specimen of sado-sex journalism, but the distinction seems elusive in Screw. The writing style is often prosaic and juvenile, and the four-letter argot is flung against a wide variety of institutions and individuals-among them the New York Times (which once unwittingly carried an ad for Screw), the TV networks, J. Edgar Hoover, Billy Graham and Richard Nixon. On the tamer side, there have been interviews with Joe Namath and Timothy Leary and an in-bed session with John Lennon and Yoko...
