Oh man. Sure she's foul. I could tell stories that would straighten your pubic hair. She has done epically cruel and hideous things to people I know. She is completely crazy. Fun to watch, but the wreckage she has spread is truly historic. She is quite a public figure, but no one I have ever met or worked with would ever accuse her of being nice or pleasant.

Your way with words is my favorite aspect about you, dear.

Yes, yes, Courtney needs to stick to acting. I don't think she's all that talented in the music world.

This oughta be interesting. And wtf?!?! Ron Howard has been wanting to make a Linda Lovelace biopic? That makes no sense whatsoever! And Meg Ryan?!? No way Jose.

I kid you not. He bought the rights to her book "Ordeal" years and years ago and has been trying to get it off the ground with Brian Grazer. Meg Ryan signed on a few years ago in an attempt to give her career a charge, but they couldn't get the right script, so it was canned. Then Angelina Jolie wanted to do it, but couldn't fit it into her schedule. Howard and Grazer eventually just made a documentary about Deep Throat that came out last month.

I did a paper on Lovelace for a women's lib class I took in college and she's fascinating. Truly weird and mysterious.

She looks like Jean Harlow in that photograph.

I adore Courtney. Although I haven't always agreed with her antics I love her music and acting. The vocals were raw on America's Sweetheart to say the least but I loved 5 of the tracts. She is fascinating to say the least. Glad to see her with her **** together and hope that she stays clean.

You know, the Lovelace Deepthroat debacle is very interesting to investigate. Apparently there's lots of mystery surrounding the whole thing like the mob ties, whether or not Lovelace was forced at gunpoint to "perform" in it by her loser boyfriend, how she got hoodwinked by him to appear in stag films and prostitution, her real stance on porn: was she really taking up the feminist anti-porn movement or was she just apologetic for ever having done it etc...fascinating indeed. A friend of mine who is a grad student in American Studies is doing her dissertation on Linda Lovelace, Deepthroat and American porn. Apparently she just recently interviewed people associated with the movie and I believe people who were close to Lovelace, perhaps family members. I can't wait to hear what she's found out.

Have you seen this? If so, what did you think? I debated seeing it but it got pretty bad reviews in the Austin Chronicle.

It wasn't what I expected at all. Pretty much just a documentary on how if affected pop culture and American society in general. They essentially glossed over every one of Lovelace's claims, which made it pretty dull. It wasn't nearly as good as it could have been, but it had some interesting moments. Wait for DVD is my recommendation.

There's no question in my mind that was abused, but one has to wonder about the extent of it when you read her first book (I didn't know what to make of her beastiality claims when I wrote my paper, to be honest). She supposedly passed tens of hours of lie detector tests before the publishers would print her book, too. I'm likely to believe her because as soon as she left Traynor, she didn't do anything that had to do with porn. I did, however, come to the conclusion that she was used and abused by the womens movement just as she had been by the porn industry. They used her up when they needed her and then threw her out like garbage. She led a truly sad life.
