“Russ Meyer: King Of Sexploitation” on YouTube

Since it's now the future (or something), we're in an optimistic mood this week and are looking forward to even more of our favorite bits of pop culture ephemera making their way to places like YouTube in 2007—especially where boobs are concerned. And things are off to a great start with news that this UK documentary on legendary breast impresario Russ Meyer is now viewable online: "Russ Meyer: King Of Sexploitation" includes interviews with several of Meyer's most legendary stars as well as such eminent mammarian authorities like streaptease queen Dita Von Teese—along with fascinating tidbits like the fact that Meyer shot four days of film for the Sex Pistols (who were apparently huge fans of Meyer's classic "Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls") before the project went "belly up" (or should that be "tits up"?). There's also the requisite speculation on the reasons behind Meyer's boob fixation, though we have to admit that we're much less interested in those issues than we are in the movies they made possible. Truly a worthy homage to the man and his art. And, of course, those boobs. - AR/JD
