John Holmes in 3D Trailer at the Landmark Sunshine
A couple of weekends ago, I went with some friends to catch the midnight showing of The Warriors at the Sunshine Theater on Houston St. Before a movie starts, I always look forward to the trailers that expose me to the new and upcoming movies. That night, they only had one trailer and it was for a John Holmes movie in 3D. Not your average movie trailer. John Holmes, who? As in the character that Dirk Diggler was loosely based off of.
Gone is your "this following trailer has been rated R/PG-13/PG/G," for this trailer could only be rated X (maybe more Xs were required). Almost the first thing that hit the screen was boobs, then more, and more, and more. I don't think there was one stone unturned in the trailer. There was penetration, oral sex, even a money shot.
It was so very strange. I think the audience was half shocked and half amused. I was in an amused stupor, wondering how they could get away with showing the trailer. What if someone was to object? Of course, I don't think anybody that is going to watch the midnight showing of The Warriors is the type of person to object to a John Holmes trailer.
I believe there was a showing of the movie in New York already, but it was re-released a few years ago after the popularity of Boogie Nights. If you really want to know the title, it was apparently called Hot Skin in 3D.

Tien, I just want to note that whenever I've tried to describe things that are even a little morally out of place, I always come off sounding like a self-righteous church lady. You on the other hand, well, you sound like a very hip church lady. ;)

well marie, that's clearly because i have no morals. i thought it was more shocking and out surprising than actually morally wrong though.

I might have taken my 14-year-old son to see The Warriors at the Sunshine! (We're going to Evil Dead II this weekend at the midnight show.) I would definitely have been unhappy with that trailer.

you should look into contacting them beforehand. a friend of mine said he saw that trailer there once too.

I saw the Holmes film in Hollywood in the 80's, I just love 3-D stuff. Of course it was awful but we all went to see Big John looming out over the audience. Shocking!
