...modern standards, very mild. In movies with explicitly descriptive catalog titles (Hobbled in Kid Leather Harness), a woman will be tied up, or ball-gagged, or put in the trunk of a car. For a change, Bettie shared the screen with another woman, usually Roz Greenwood - the star couldn't put herself in bondage. But the performers never got hurt; at times you can catch them giggling at the indignities they were asked to portray. If there's kink it's pure nostalgia. Kids today, seeing these (and they do), probably think it's kinky that their grandfathers thought...

...there's a Platonist streak, deep in the movie critic I have been all these years, that believes the truth is up there on the screen - that the shadows on the wall have more answers for me than the people who put them there. To me, the real Bettie Page is that two-dimensional image, forever young, tender, sexy and smiling...

...were talking about the snake hits being better than just seeing a snake strike. In old cowboy movies you'd see a rattlesnake, hear a rattle and then there's the snake and it kind of struck off-screen, and you never saw the snake actually hit anybody. So you get actual snake hits, and if you got two people who are making love in an airplane bathroom, you just don't show a snake and show them kissing and hear them screaming.

...people who buy DVDs. When we made the film, I told them, "You guys need to market the film to women." They were trying to market the film to 15-year-old boys. I said "Look, this is the most powerful woman that's been on-screen in years. She kills men. She does very cool stuff. You should be advertising this movie on soaps during the day, you should be advertising it on women's shows during the evening." They didn't do it. Consequently the film didn't make a lot of money. But women all over...

...neighborhood of Gangabu, another hotbed of protests, the police have just fired rubber bullets and tear gas at protestors, and many have scattered. Ram Bahadur, a stone cutter, is watching the protestors flee from behind the safety of the wire-mesh screen in his backyard. He is surrounded by large pieces of marble, which he cuts for people building their houses - white marble, good for making stairs, and imitation green mable for the kitchens. Since the movement began, though, no one has bought any marble. "I want all this to end, I'll tell you that," he mumbles...
