Sagat’s ‘Zombie’ Aussie Fight Going Viral
July 22, 2010 | 4 Comments
The news that pornster Francois Sagat‘s indie flick L.A. Zombie was disinvited from the Melbourne International Film Festival broke just a couple of days ago and has already begun to go viral. We wrote it up on Tuesday—writer/director Bruce LaBruce saw our story and posted his mild objection to our use of the word “banned” on Twitter. Point taken—as the story was spreading across the blogosphere. Now the Popwatch blog on Entertainment Weekly‘s website, of all places, has taken note. They even have a poll titled “What’s So Controversial about Gay Zombie Porn?” Notes blogger Darren Franich, “Americans are taught from an early age that Canadians are boringly nice Celine Dion fans and Australians are liberated hippie mer-people. Kids, the stereotypes are false!” Mr. LaBruce said he’s given four interviews (and counting) to Australian radio on the controversy, adding that L.A. Zombie is “a movie that reaffirms life.” Gotta thank the Aussie censors for buying Messrs. Sagat and LaBruce a gold mine of publicity. CLICK HERE for the EW.com story.

Hmmm…seeing as I’m the resident ‘horror princess’, does any one remember an Italian director that went by the name of Joe D’Amato (his real Italian name eludes me at the moment)? If not, well any-hoo, he directed porn before he jumped into the horror band wagon. He decided that it would be cool to combine both genres. He directed a piece of slime called PORNO HOLOCAUST. This had hard core porn with zombies. Granted, D’Amato wasn’t the greatest auteur in the world but he, shall I say, ‘put-out’.
Geez, everyone’s in a twit about LaBruce’s film and they seem to forget their ‘film history’. For shame!
