o, you've seen all the movies in
Lincoln, have you? You're bored
with seeing the same old Holly
wood formulas and tired of the same
old teen age plots. You want to go see
something different, something new,
and you don't want to go to the same
old places to see it. You want to see
films on the cutting edge of artistic
exploration, films with cinematic
vision, films that just never seem to
be reviewed by those guys on TV.
Films that must be good, 'cause
nobody has the guts to talk about
'em. Real celluloid masterpieces.
Well, since you asked, there's a
theater in town that showsjust such
films. It's often overlooked, even
though you probably see it every
day. You won't see any boring main
stream films here, and no geeky
teenagers throw popcorn at the
screen, either. Let's go on in, shall
we?
The lobby of the Cinema X Adult
Theater and Video Arcade is brightly
lit, like any good family theater
should be. Unlike most theaters, the
walls here are lined with rows upon
rows of magazines and books. In
this day and age of people not read
ing much, it's nice to see a movie
theater that encourages people to
read. Huey Lewis's "Hip To Be
Square" plays gently over the speak
ers. Prices are fairly reasonable: $2
for senior citizens, $4 for adults (I
thought it was an adult theater,
and the bargain date special, $6 per
couple. Films show continuously for
24 hours.
The concession stand was filled
to the brim with countless toys and
other fascinating items, but the
only thing that appeared to be edi
ble was a confection called under
Dr. Anton !s
Self
Test
How Do You Rate Sexually?
Answer "yes" or "no" the following questions
as truthfully as possible. Take your time with
each question, read it through before answering,
and most of all, be fair.
1. Do you kiss on the first date?
2. Do you fantasize about someone you like
roonlnrlv''
wear, which came in four flavors:
banana, creme de menthe, cherry
and passion fruit. Since there was
no popcorn, my date and I split a
pair of banana and went in. Rather
tasteless, actually.
Tonight was a special night. To
night was the Journalism Double
Feature "Typecast" and "Nudes
At Eleven," so we hurridly found our
seats. A patron in cowboy boots and
a leatherette sportcoat accidently
bumped us on his way to the bath
room. Unfortunately, "Nudes At Eleven"
just started before we got there, and
we had missed the obligatory two
minutes devoted to plot outline and
character development. It must be
an art film, because for the remainder
of the film the plot was rather hard
to follow, but I think the action
revolved around a TV news crew and
its many adventures.
In any case, we were just in time
to see some action. This was an
"action" movie. Lots of action. Not
much movement, but lots of action.
Perhaps the most significant artis
tic contribution was the liberal use
of lighting. Instead of the time
consuming Hollywood process of
lighting separate actors or shots
one at a time, in this film the entire
scene is generally flooded with lights,
so the spontaneity of the actor's
performances won't be interrupted
by changes of camera, lights, scen
ery, etc. It's truly gratifying to see
the innovative, rapidly advancing
technology of TV sitcoms finally
applied to the big screen.
I didn't see the name of the artist
who directed "Nudes At Eleven" in
the short list of credits, but it was
loosely directed, allowing the actors
a free hand to really get into their
3. Do you enjoy not wearing underwear?
4. Do you like chewable candy?
5. When you meet someone for the first
time, do you tend to drool on yourself, play with
your hair or talk on subject that you know
nothing about?
6. Do you watch "Love Boat" every day?
7. Are you attracted to people of the oppo
site sex?
8. Are you attracted to people of the same
sex?
9. Are you attracted to people with freckles?
10. Do you use alcohol or drugs to enhance a
sexual encounter?
1 1. Do you meet people easily?
12. Are you free with your body in front of
strangers?
13. Do you hate your father?
1 4. Do you often check your fly to make sure
it's closed?
15. Do you like choking on blue velvet?
parts. His hands-off style allowed
his actors the freedom to really grow
in their roles, and really use each
other's characters to their advantage.
The acting styles were also a
refreshing change of pace. The only
real comparison would be to the
styles of those fine low-budget slash
flicks, or to local car-dealer com
mercials that the dealer stars in.
Instead of the overdone Meryl Streep
style, where you're actually sup
posed to believe she is the charac
ter, these actors allowed you to see
them as real people just reading
lines, which made the action se
quences all the more realistic. Some
of them actually seemed to have
met each other just moments before
filming, and this was brilliantly por
trayed in their performances.
One of the attractions of the
Cinema X is that if you get bored
with the feature film, you can always
go to the rows of booths on the other
side of the theater, where there is a
varied selection of short subjects
and mini-features. These cost only a
quarter for about two minutes, and
it's two minutes absolutely devoid
of luxuries like plot of dialogue and
chock-full of just what movie view
ers come to see. (My charming date,
unfortunately, missed out on this
cultural experience; she had to
leave early. Something made her
sick.)
And so, for a chance to see a kind
of filmmaking that you can't see just
anywhere, something on the cutting
edge of avantgarde, the Cinema X
Adult Theater and Video Arcade
may be just the thing you're looking
for to stir up those cinematic dol
drums. And remember the bargain
date special; only six bucks for a
couple.
16. Do you enjoy sex in the morning?
17. Does rain act as a sexual stimulant for
you?
18. Do you like to brush your teeth before a
sexual encounter?
19. Do you hate your mother?
20. Are you spontaneous about your love
making or do you enjoy making it an annual
event?
21. Do you talk dirty to yourself?
22. Are you a satisfying lover? Or do you
tend to wallow in your own euphoric state, totally
disregarding your partner's wants and needs?
23. Do you use the expression "having
sex?" Or "to have sex," as in "having tea," or
"having a heart attack?"
If you answered "yes" to more than 17 of the
above questions, you are a stud monkey and
should be tested for diseases immediately. If you
answered "yes" to no more than three of the
questions you are a eunuch wimp.
