The New York Underground invaded the mainstream with Robert Downey Sr.’s completely irreverent Madison Avenue satire, in which a token black executive takes over an Ad agency, renames it ‘Truth and Soul’ and goes on a mad reign of creative terror. Arnold Johnson, Stan Gottlieb, Allen Garfield, and Antonio Fargas star in a farce that some critics found intolerably crude — but an independent distributor gave it a national release. 1969 was the year that the Production Code took a tumble — and Downey’s picture proved that freedom of expression was alive and well in the U.S. of A..

Paul Glickler, who directed, co-wrote, produced and edited the sex-filled 1973 independent film The Cheerleaders, has died. He was 81.
Glickler died Sept. 19 of a heart attack at his Topanga home in Los Angeles, his sister, Louise G.S. Plaschkes, told The Hollywood Reporter.
The Cheerleaders starred Stephanie Fondue, Denise Dillaway and Jovita Bush in a playful film about Amorosa High School cheerleaders who have sex with the opposing team’s football players the night before a big game to sap them of their strength.
The X-rated movie — eventually recut to an R rating — was made for 120,000, saw a great return on its investment, was name-checked in a John Grisham novel and spawned quick features including The Swinging Cheerleaders (1974), directed by Jack Hill, and Revenge of the Cheerleaders (1976), helmed by Richard Lerner, a co-writer and producer on Glickler’s movie.

Directed by sound editor Midge Costin, Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound provides a rich overview of motion picture sound, from the era in which sounds were performed in theaters to Dolby Atmos, breaking down in detail the multiple elements that comprise a film’s sonic soundscape. With an extensive list of credits including action pictures like The Rock, Broken Arrow, and Crimson Tide, Costin makes excellent uses of industry contacts from mixers, composers, filmmakers, executives, and stars to provide the kind of broad overview that feels custom-made for the first day of an introduction to sound class.
The film largely proceeds with a basic chronology of sound as the practice evolves over some 90 years with Warner Brothers’ Vitascope taking the first step with The Jazz Singer. The art and practice of sound design, is credited to Murray Spivack who, while working on 1933’s King Kong, conceived of a whole new roar for Kong,...

A Snyder Country, Pennsylvania schoolteacher named Judy Buranich has been outed as erotica author Judy Mays, and uptight jerks are slut-shaming her for it.
Thanks to Fgt's Megan Hussey for bringing the news to our attention! Buranich has been an English teacher for 25 years in her small community, and when it came out that she has a successful career, under a nom de plume, in the erotic fiction literary community, her students' parents freaked out.
Wendy Apple, a parent, said to a Snyder County online rag, "Now my son knows so how is he thinking when he's sitting in her class knowing what she does on the side." Oh, Shock of Shocks! Horror of Horrors! He will grow up to be a rapist, surely!
Running what looks like a fucking mug shot of Buranich, the news outlet paid special attention to what the locals had to say to the negative.
