@Linkat,
Oh it was arty. Some porn is. Most isn't of course. I find the sociological implications more interesting in that area.
I think of them as space-age movies. At the time of Mr Shephard's flight I think it was a criminal offence to publish those movies. Now millionaires are joy-riding up there and those movies have Library of Congress numbers and are broadcast every night and piped into all the best hotels.
Where do you see the next 60 years taking those of us who last that long? The direction is not that hard to see.
