Also had a nightclub with live sex acts - not regularly but often enough and those were advertised in the paper. I remember one had something to do with Adam and Eve.
Damn, we just left people alone back in the late 70's. Today people would lose their shit over something like that - have to picket and go on twitter and make a video on youtube.
We also had a place called the beltline arcade which was an adult store with quarter fed booths where you watched a porn for a few minutes on this arcade looking machine. We did that a few times as teens until our parents went by and saw our car parked out front.
I never had any desire to sit thru a porn with a bunch of strangers. That's uncomfortable
You parked out front? Damn, noob.
You're right about people losing their shit these days. I try to tell myself that life is better now, because there's all kinds of shit you can watch on your TV or computer or phone that nobody would have even dreamed of in the '70s or '80s but mostly I think that life sucks now for teenagers. You can't do anything without someone being aggrieved and there seems to be no such thing as innocent fun now. No wonder kids are eating fucking detergent.

yea, we were novices at that sort of thing
more importantly though - what were our parents doing scoping out the parking lot of the local porn house?
as an adult who can't tolerate the old saturday night missionary, I know the answer

I also remember the drive in theater of the east side of town would show soft porn movies for the late show. You could sit in the parking lot of Woolco and see the screen but they had the old speakers you stuck on your car window, not the new FM radio transmitter kind so you had to watch without audio.
A big night was scoring a 6 pack of beer at the liquor store drive thru without getting carded and sitting in the parking lot watching Emmanuelle visits Taboo Island , sitting in lawn chairs in the back of a pickup truck. The funnest part was adding your own commentary trying to figure out what the characters were saying to each other.

I met Brandi Love at the airport when I was picking up my wife Saturday. They were on the same flight from Dallas.

Well, they did use license, no doubt, just as all historically-based movies do - calking in the cracks of history with a bit of fiction to make the story more suspenseful and complete. I still give it high marks.

Yes, as far as movies go, it was great, but they took too much license and made Churchill look like a buffoon. That's why I didn't like it.

I don't think it portrayed him as a buffoon.

Your exchange made me think about it, but I can't come up with anything besides deliberate examples like The Three Stooges or Laurel and Hardy or that ilk...
