February 14 movie: A/V Geeks: VD Isn't Just for Valentine's Day. We can't go to the Durham showing of this because we have Durham Neighborhood College on Thursday. So we went to the Raleigh show. It was at Tir Na Nog, and I have to say I was amazed at how crowded it was. There must have been 30 people there! Maybe if the Durham shows were at a bar, we'd have big crowds like that too.
VD Isn't Just for Valentine's Day was a winner. One of the best A/V Geeks I've seen. There were a couple of movies from the 70s, all about what a drag VD is and how much it brings us down, man. My favorite line was this woman who says "It's really hard to have to call someone up and say, 'I'm sorry, I gave you the clap.'" Yeah, that is hard!
Also there was a cartoon about two guys who have to research VD. One of them thinks you can get it from toilet seats, which is illustrated by a toilet growing arms and crab claws and attacking him. And one from the late 40s, which was disguised as a regular narrative movie, about a military man who caught gonorrhea, gave it to his wife, made her sterile and destroyed their marriage. Recently TCM did a whole series of military training films disguised as narratives. My favorite was one about interrogation.
In any case, I highly recommend VD Isn't Just for Valentine's Day and I hope all Durham A/V Geeks fans will go see it next Thursday.
