In the late 1970s; the adult film industry began the transition from celluloid to home video. Smutty Little Movies traces this change and examines the cultural and legal efforts to regulate; contain; limit; or eradicate pornography. Drawing on a wide variety of materials; Smutty Little Movies de-centers the film text in favor of industry histories and contexts. In so doing; the book argues that the struggles to contain and regulate pleasure represent a primary starting point for situating adult videorsquo;s place in a larger history; not just of pornography; but of media history as a whole.

Gorgeous - colors much better than photoBy Henry LahoreToo bad that the color reproduction in the photo you see here (and also in the "Look Inside") is quite inaccurate. not doing justice to the wonderful depth and lush. vibrant colors in the actual book. Scoullers work is very inspirational. but be warned: as he himself says. this is a "how I did it" book rather than a "how to do it" book. He does tell you which materials and colors he used in the paintings and sketches throughout the book. and his considerations in approaching the work. He includes several demonstration paintings to show his basic process (this varies from painting to painting). but there are not detailed steps. His chapters are entitled "Introduction." "Tools and Materials." "Methods and Techniques." "Sketchbooks." "Painting Outdoors." "Colour and Light." "7 Favorite Themes" (these include boats and boatyards. still life. landscape and urban landscape. windows. figures. animals. farms and villages). and "Working in the Studio" (still life and portraits). A wonderful book to appreciate his color sense and style. but not for the artist who may need more instruction.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
