Key to Sex
(1998)

60%



NICE GUYS FINISH LAST?

A variation on Risky Business, this soft-core sex-film has pretty White girls with insatiable sexual desirers. When the men are not fucking the women they are playing mundane power-games and office politics with one another.

The sexual intercourse lacks lustful intensity and the women, in particular, are unable to project their femininity over and above the usual sexual stereotypes inherent in Playboy, in such a way as to overcome and compensate for the lack of explicitness. The humping lacks real passion as if underneath it all there is a puritan aesthetic to denature sex. Yet no-one here embarrasses themselves artistically in this fun and stylish time-passer with good, scripted characterization.

Science:



No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.



Jacob Bronowski… (1908 - 74), British scientist, author. Encounter (London, July 1971).


Sleep of Reason:



The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.



Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes… (1746-1828), Spanish painter. Caption to Caprichos, number 43, a series of eighty etchings completed in 1798, satirical and grotesque in form.


Humans & Aliens:



I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.



Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.



Albert Camus… (1913-60), French-Algerian writer & philosopher. The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt: New York: Vintage Books, (1984; page 182.)
