Now Playing On IFC: Cruising
Fuck! IFC the Independent Film Channel showed a letterbox UNCUT version of Cruising, Starring Al Pacino, on TV. May 6,7,15,16! And I missed it all damn it. This sucks so bad for me because you cannot get Cruising, directed by William Friedkin's from The Exorcist, unless you scrape the bottom of the VHS bin and then all you will find is an edited (family friendly) version. The theatrical release had full on fisting, blowjobs and fucking and actual scenes of South of Market San Francisco leather bars during the hay days long gone by. I am not kidding you when I say this really needs to be released on DVD. It's the only movie that not only referred to Gay Leather but actually represented a bit of it in all it's raw glory. Not that great of a thriller though but very much in line with say your typical David Lynch film. Raw and confusing at the end as it was at the beginning. Well, let's hope IFC plays it again and keep an eye out. Good crap for TV that is!

Actually, I've never seen ANY version of this movie!
RYC: well I can't pick you now that you left a comment! You aren't a "lurker" anymore. Besides, I pick the people who spend freakishly HUGE chunks of time on my blog every single day! Hours and hours...I have no idea what they are looking for and probably don't want to know. But thanks for showing yourself.
I remember seeing this on tv when I was in my teens.
Obviously, I didn't get the good version. LOL
I think I saw this film on UK tv. I guess it was the cut version as I don't remember the best bits ;)
Shame... will have to look out for it.
Thanks for visiting my blog matey :)
I've been keeping an eye out for Cruising now - thanks for reminding me about it.
Oi - you gonna update this blog or what? hehhe
I remember the first time I saw this movie, my best friends dad had rented it, we were watching it with him, I was a teenager, and was so horny that I must have beat off 10 times in one day the next day.
