A Wholesome Evening Of Porno Movies
Not to spoil it for you, but at The Stranger's HUMP! amateur porn film festival, the entry "Getting a Leg Up in Porn" featured a cumshot delivered via the game Mousetrap. It's hilarious, and of course we are allowed to spoil it for you because the films are shown four or eight or a dozen times over the weekend and then destroyed. If you haven't seen it, you'll never see it. Anyway, the Mousetrap cumshot was part of the film's "aren't facials ridiculous" theme and that was one take on it. Other films had different ideas. Some of them we agreed with wholeheartedly, and some of them we weren't so fond of, but the experience of seeing all of those sexual opinions displayed so (ahem) nakedly while in the company of a hundred other couples, friends, neighbors, people...It was almost enough to make us think we aren't the only ones having sex in this city. Or watching porn. Or enjoying porn. For one night we're pretty sure we weren't.
Friday night Seattlest had a porn date with Mrs. Seattlest and it was fun, hot, healthy, social, hilarious, and reaffirmed our faith in Seattle. We watched porn in a theater and felt completely normal. You know how sometimes there's a thrill that's like "ooo this is so wrong and so hot"? Not at HUMP. Everything was so right and so damn acceptable and still hot. If things go on like this, the Stranger will completely mainstream porn in a few years, but not gross porn (the problem with porn has always been that the people making it are way too into porn). Good porn. DIY porn. Amateur porn.
So HUMP should expand to a bigger venue next year. The Neptune, The Egyptian, Cinerama? A month-long festival to rival SIFF? Maybe one step at a time, but in this case, we really feel the more the merrier. And if Babeland were selling something in the lobby on the way out, that would rock the house. Not that Seattlest doesn't know where the Babeland store is, but seriously, we would have gone home with a few dildos, a harness, lube, and the official HUMP thong. His and Hers.
Finally, you may be in luck, sorta. From the HUMP winner's thread:
hello, i made "getting a leg up in porn". Would you people pay $5 for a dvd of it? cus i will gladly sell you one.Posted by: LegUpMaker | September 10, 2006 10:22 PM
We'll buy it, probably, but you can't buy the opportunity to watch it in a theater full of people on a Friday night. For that you'll have to wait for next year.

Due to popular demand, the HUMP 2nd place winning entry "Getting A Leg Up In Porn" is now available for sale on DVD! This is a spoof on those old 70's instructional filmstrips and had the audience roaring with laughter and boners at every showing.
These won't be mailed until monday Sept 25th because the guy who has the files on his computer is out of town until then. But we are accepting orders now while the demand is high.
It is $10 and that includes shipping. You can paypal your payment for however many copies you want to: barlosss@yahoo.com
Paypal is the only way we are accepting orders at this time.
Also, to prove that this is not a scam, below are screen shots from the production. If you were at the screenings you will recognize them. Furthermore, Paypal is a safe way to transact as they have excellent fraud prevention practices. It seemed like the safest and most trusted way to sell these.
The actors in the film signed release forms allowing it to be shown outside of HUMP and they are both actors in the adult industry so fear not that we are ruining the lives of hapless preschool teachers.
Spread the word! Your favorite (or 2nd favorite as the case may be) HUMP entry is available on DVD!
