[“In America, the relationship between images and discourses on the female body circulated for educational and therapeutic purposes and those circulated for the purpose of titillation is as intimate, tortured, and dysfunctional, as is any relationship characterized by common parentage and close family resemblance. This relationship reached an unsustainable level of conflict in the years following the Civil War. While Americans endured the wrenching changes to the economy as its emphasis shifted from agriculture to manufacturing, a decades-long relocation of population centers from rural areas resulted in massive cultural displacement: large numbers of young men moved into densely populated cities and were exposed to mass-produced forms of popular entertainment such as paperback books, mass-circulation magazines, flyers, and pamphlets, all made possible by economies of scale in production and distribution as vulcanized rubber was revolutionizing transportation and streamlining the printing process, not to mention reducing the manufacturing cost of latex condoms. Several cultural and religious groups attempted to circumvent the seismic shifts that these changes threatened to bring, including the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) which, in 1866, sent a contingent to Albany, New York, to lobby for the suppression of obscene and licentious books and literature. In the years that followed, YMCA crusader and reformer Anthony Comstock would form the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice and successfully lobby Congress in 1873 to bring to bear federal powers to oversee the postal service and levy tariffs to bear on literature he saw as corrupting of youth. The so-called “Comstock Law” made it a felony to import or send through the mails any sexual imagery, sexual accounts, or information on birth control and abortion, because of their perceived tendency to incite and corrupt. The law survived an 1896 challenge in the case of Rosen v. US, which cited the precedent of English common law upholding the government’s ability to censor material that would tend “to deprave or corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences.”

One of Comstock’s most powerful allies was the American Medical Association, which since its inception in 1847 was stepping up efforts to destroy the centuries-old tradition of midwifery and replace it with the professionalized disciplines of obstetrics and gynecology, both of which actively suppressed access and information about contraception and abortifacents. During this period, anatomy and medical textbooks were seized, restrained, and re-edited to comply with the strictures upheld in the Rosen decision.”]

#OTD in Irish History | 20 August:

535 – Death of Mochta of Louth; he was a disciple of St. Patrick. Also known as Maucteus, he was, like Patrick, a native of Britain. The Annals of Ulster date his death to 535, which points to him being considerably younger than Patrick, who had died in 493. He is known to have written at least one letter, apparently in Latin, the beginning of which is quoted in his obituary. However neither this…

Quasi Trailer

Broken Lizard and Searchlight Pictures’ Quasi follows the titular Quasi, working as a torturer in medieval France. BUT, it’s Pope Week and Quasi wins top prize -a one-on-one confession with the Pope. Yay! Quasi is also looking for love and just may have found it, with a royal person, no less. Then again, things might not be so great as the hunchback finds himself caught between a murderous feud between the Pope and the King of France when each orders Quasi to kill the other.

Quasi stars Steve Lemme as Quasi alongside Kevin Heffernan, Paul Soter, Adrianne Palicki, Jay Chandrasekhar, and Erik Stolhanske. Heffernan serves as director and wrote the script with Lemme, Chandrasekhar, Soter, and Stolhanske. 

Quasi hits Hulu on April 20, 2023.

Club Dread (2004)

In today's review, I find the Costa-Rican Sun a perfect place for a comedy slasher. As I attempt a #positive review of the 2004 slasher parody film Club Dread. #BrittanyDaniel #KevinHeffernan #ErikStolhanske #SteveLemme #JayChandrasekhar #PaulSoter

A parody can look deep into a lucrative idea, especially one that has been repeated often. Trading off clichés with clever comebacks, and cringeworthy exchanges, especially in the early 2000s when the parody genre was riding high. In 2004, with the combination of teen beachside comedy and copious killing, the comedy troupe, Broken Lizard, took to the sunny shores of Mexico to tell a tale of…
