By Will Seagers   Hi folks! Will here.We're taking a little bit of a break after the two year run of my blog with Bijou.To celebrate the two years of fun that I've had, here is a gala video for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!   Will Seagers in L.A. Tool & Die, stylized image   Bio of Will Seagers:Will Seagers (also credited as Matt Harper), withi

By Will Seagers  Hello folks! Will (At Large) here with some thoughts and feelings from the past.First of all, a big Happy Valentine's Day wish to all of you Bijou fans and readers! Although posting time for this blog comes a little after the fact, nonetheless I am writing this right smack in the middle of Valentine's Day! I hope you all are or wil

By Will Seagers  Hi Folks! "Will at Large" here for you today on this fortuitous "Ides of March" Friday. Yes, this is a departure from my ramblings about my past in the wonderful world of porn. But, there has always been a very large part of me that is drawn to the occult and esoteric parts of life. It is an ironic contrast to the showy and externa

By Josh Eliot Original ad for Killing Me Softly   It was not super simple for me to pick one Jack Wrangler movie to watch for my “I Just Watched” series. He had an iconic career with many great movies to his credit, but they are so well known that I searched for one that was a bit more obscure. I remember Jack being a household name ever since I wa

By Will Seagers  Hi folks, Will here. And, here I go again starting off with another obscure blog title. The I.M.H.O is of course "In my humble opinion." I have always liked that phrase because it allows the delivery of a potentially heavy message but buffers it by categorizing it as an opinion and not necessarily a fact. The real meat of this blog

By Will Seagers  Hi Folks, Will here. As usual, I have yet another strange title for you! The name of this multi-faceted adventure won't be significant until we get to the end of the blog. Like the house that landed in Oz, this story will go through lots of turbulence before getting there. But, with the help of of my friends, it turned out quite we

By Will Seagers  Salut, les gens - Will ici! So, here's an appropriate greeting to go along with my blog title! BTW, it's how I open each blog - but, with a French twist! I have been in love with the French language and culture from a very early age... seven to be exact! Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre (L), the glorious gates of Versailles (c

By M. Webster During a recent session of scanning and touching up behind the scenes photos from Jack Deveau's Hot House (1977) from our archive of materials from the great Hand in Hand Films, I felt a lot of enthusiasm to share them with an interested audience. In that spirit, here is a primarily photo-based blog featuring a selection of those imag

By Will Seagers  Hi Folks, Will Here! In the spirit of "The Good Old Summertime," today's blog is about my life's encounters with the great and not so great bodies of water around the globe.Born right at the edge of two signs, Capricorn (the sea goat) and Aquarius (the water bearer), I have had a life-long affinity to water. Until recently, I have

By M. Webster Today, we're flashing back to the late '70s/early '80s for a peek at a much earlier time for Bijou. This was within the era when porn features were still at their cinematic height, playing in theaters in major cities across the U.S. In Chicago, the Bijou Theater & Sex Club (which later expanded into Bijou Video), projected many of

By Will Seagers  Hi Folks - Will here! This week's endeavor deals with one of the seven deadly sins - Pride. I hope to convey some of my personal thoughts about pride, whether it be personal pride or collective pride - AKA Gay Pride.Regarding personal pride, I looked to my family in my early years for role models. My mother and father were a stunni

By Will Seagers  Hello Folks. Will Here! The title of this piece refers to a philosophical retrospective on my life and what I thought were catastrophic events, but turned out to be the flow of good fortunes that followed... "Life Goes On."I am an emotional and caring individual who, over the years, has developed an actual talent of hiding my feeli

By Will Seagers  Hi folks! Will here! So many times as I set out to write these blogs, I feel that I have hit a bit of a wall in terms of finding worthy and interesting material. That was the case today until out of the blue I started to think about bars and dance clubs that have given me so many great memories.Starting at the beginning, my long ti

While going through the Bijou Video file cabinets in search of inspiration, George Payne of Centurians of Rome fame (and one of my initial gay porn crushes, ah, those “mesmerizing dark eyes”) reveals all in an absolutely fabulous 1979 interview with Mandate magazine, called “The Pleasure Payne Principle.”    Digg

  If one watches much porn, it seems like one is usually waiting for the cumshot, or, as some deem it, the money shot, as if one places a monetary value on the climax. More is more, and bigger is better. Or is it?  Now, as many readers by now have figured out, often times (more so in more recent porn, and I am showing my bias for Bijou Classics),

I, Madam Bubby, the author of practically all these blogs,  like to think not only our movies not just as “classics,” but some of our reviews.   One twitter follower recently complimented us on our movie descriptions, and in this more visually-oriented age, our reviews show the power of the word to give some in-depth insight into really groundbreak

Every day for breakfast, except on weekends: a bowl of cold cereal. For me, the thrill of themed sugar cereals wore off quickly, even the Halloween-themed ones Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry (let's dump sugar and colored marshmallows in milk, yum!).   For a brief while I enjoyed eating Captain Crunch dry, out of the box, as a snack, ev

  Actually, according to various Internet sources, the "big" zucchini is actually a small summer squash. And also, not just because of its phallic shape, but really and truly an aphrodisiac (see below)! Some zucchini facts: Zucchini is really a fruit, not it is treated as a vegetable in the culinary world. It is the swollen ovary (yes, a fema

“We kiss in a shadow,” sings Tuptim, slave-concubine in the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical and later movie The King and I, and her forbidden lover, Lun Tha. Both pay for their love. Lun Tha is found dead, and I'm not sure what happens to Tuptim.   In the book Anna and the King of Siam and the movie of that title (not a musical) with Rex Harrison

“326 BCE – Gay/bisexual military leader Alexander the Great completes conquest of most of the then known Western world, converting millions of people to Hellenistic culture and launching the Hellenistic Age.” I found this on a gay timeline someone sent me, and it caused me to wonder. No doubt Alexander managed to conquer most of the known wor
