THE SIMPLE PLEASURES OF FLOYD GONDOLLI


The line stands on its own.


It’s delivered so eloquently by Floyd Gondolli (Philip Baker Hall), pleading the case for video as the future of pornography and not celluloid.  The thought of Gondolli submitting himself to such kink keeps the focus on him, or so we think. 

Click the quote to check out The Colonel (Robert Ridgely) on the couch and out of focus in the background; dying of laughter and trying hard not to fudge the scene.  It’s a hard, quiet chortle and a true cinematic moment caught for posterity; the line between art and real life now blurred, leaving us in wonderment.
 

Is the Colonel or Ridgely trying to hold it together?
