Ok, I used “killer vaginas” as a blog post title so in the interest of equality, here is my dick post. My Austin Film Society colleague Bryan Poyser made a short film that premiered in 2001 at the Ann Arbor Film Festival. The film, Pleasureland (available on the Dear Pillow DVD), stars his filmmaking partner Jacob Vaughan as a lonely guy who gets more than he expects when renting porn videos from his local video store.

Over at Resources, I just posted a brief synopsis of the issues facing Ann Arbor, who lost their state cultural arts funding as a result of conservative objection to Bryan’s and other films labeled as “pornographic.” It is only my second podcast, so be kind, but most of all, I’d love to hear your thoughts about censorship, particularly this slippery slope of hemorrhaging government support for media arts.
