Quotes
Billy Hampton: I have this one fantasy about my penis being really, really big. Real big. It's like as tall as me. And these angels are hovering over it and their wings are beating really fast. And I can kinda feel the air on my big penis, man. When I explode, its like snowing or something. It's just raining down all over these people. Everybody's lickin' their lips and shit. Really smilin' a lot and stuff.

Nude Bill Paxton and Other Stuff

If this plainly starred Paxton and did not contain the real sex scene and nudity, no one would care if it got lost in the shuffle. However, Vinegar Syndrome cleaned it up and brought us an amazing transfer. Sadly, the movie watches just as it sounds.

The visuals can be nice here and there and the basic plot is fine, but the gap in production and drug-induced student film style is apparent throughout. What begins as interesting quickly turns to double-subbed audio of a "big brother" type broadcasting news over the infrequent dialogue.

The rest is just a muddled mess of random ideas that may or may not have been in the original script (if there even was one). Unfortunately, this is just a blip in history that, to me, was a waste of the efforts of the good people at Vinegar Syndrome.
