It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

King of Porn (1996) *** (out of 4)Director Jeff Krulik goes to the home of former Library of Congress official Ralph Whittington who shares his collection of porn items, which he happily explains will be going to MOMA at the time of his death. Whittington takes us through his home where we see that porn videos, magazines and papers are in each and every room, on top of cabinets and inside of them as well. Whittington talks about why he has such a collection and what he plans on doing with it. KING OF PORN is certainly an interesting film as we get to see a collector who goes beyond just the movies but also seems to be OCD about how things are collecting and put together. To be fair, watching this movie today it doesn't seem as shocking or amazing that he has four hundred tapes in his collection. A quit look through various Facebook pages and you'll find people will collections well over a thousand. Still, this is an interesting interview and look at a collector of porn.
