Slog - Comments on Getting a Leg Up in Porn, Now Available on DVD http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/09/getting_a_leg_up_in The second-place winner at The Stranger's amateur porn extravaganza last weekend has decided to sell his wildly popular movie for $10 a copy... Want to own the short film about which David Schmader wrote... Made me laugh so hard I repeatedly snorted like a hog. ...and which involved the use of the game Mousetrap in a manner that, again quoting Schmader, "deserves the comedy equivalent of the Nobel Prize"? Details in the jump... (Via Seattlest.)...

It's a nice try at capitalizing on this, but I don't think the market will be there. But, who knows? Especially since it's comedic and intentionally low-quality, watching it on the Internet will be just as good, once it appears there magically, through noone's infringement of copyright.

It's a spoof and a comedy with about 10 seconds or less of actual explicit content. The rest is just a few boobs and a lot of laughs. Mainstream movies like "Irreversible" and the recent "Brown Bunny" have more explicit content in them and are accepted as artistic works. Again, if you saw the movie you wouldn't say such dumb stuff. That being said, it is selling nicely. Thanks for the concern!

I will ask the editing guy when he returns.

And hey lame, if you saw the movie you would see that the end credits say "thanks to dormangels", not "made by dormangels". They simply supplied a model. But hey, the internet is where reactionary douchebags get to pretend like their opinion makes sense, isn't it?!

This movie was made by non-porno people and the 2nd place prize will cover the costs that we spent making it. The proceeds from the sale will give us a little reward for our work. And that's the name of that tune!

Sheesh. 10 bucks is, like what, two drinks in any bar within Seattle city limits? That mousetrap scene is like a slice of fried gold....

my apologies (mostly for my own spelling and grammer). i have actually seen your video and enjoyed it very much. i was told by a friend, after the screening, that yours had been made by dormangles.com and was only then dissapointed. i applaud your hard work and fully support your calling me a "used bag of vaginal vinegar" after my asshole statement.
