Ocupación



The artist's concept: to walk in traffic with car horns strapped to her back.

Or, as the translated text from YouTube says: "Occupation of space for the transit of cars with loud support from a portable device with 4 horns (12 v) for cars."

From what I can deduce, this bizarre cartoon exists only as a trailer reel so far. But I'd certainly watch a full episode!

Virgin Sacrifice

VIRGIN SACRIFICE completes the trilogy of films contained on a single disc I recently netflixed. We covered the other two--WILD WOMEN OF WONGO--and BOWANGA BOWANGA--here and here.

VIRGIN SACRIFICE was the second-best, after WONGO but before BOWANGA. You're getting the juciest bits in the clip here. But there is a scene in the film not present in the trailer, a shot that lingers on the completely bare breasts of the (white woman) sacrificial victim for longer than a subliminal moment. I thought that highly unusual for the era, but as we are reminded at this site chronicling the history of sex in the cinema, such moments have existed since motion pictures began.
