Lab Mice
We told you on February 16 that the labs intending to make prints of the original Deep Throat pulled out, as it were, in fear of being squashed by the long, three-fingered hands of Disney. Now, Fleshbot alerts us to the full story in the adult film industry's bible, AVN.
"I just got thrown out of another lab," Interlandi said Friday. "Somebody, a vice-president, found out that they were working on the show, pulled the film, had it on his desk, and told me to come get it; said that they have an agreement with Disney, and that Disney prohibits anybody from working on anything NC-17 or above [i.e., XXX]. Just to verify that they had the right to throw us out, they actually called the MPAA to check our rating, and I guess it was rated X by them way back when. So The Mouse fucked me. And, you know, that's funny, coming from a company that's mostly staffed by gay people."(More)
