Prior to Wednesday, the campus hosted five showings in the 1970s of Deep Throat. The screening, exclusive to UCLA students and the first of over 100 collegiate screenings planned across the country, drew nearly 1,000 students - making it this year's largest audience for the campus thus far, eclipsing an Eagle Eye screening and an Alan Rickman appearance - and during Dead Week no less. After its world premiere in September at The Orpheum Theatre, the movie, budgeted at $8 million, and billed as 'The Biggest Adult Production in History,' featuring 11 sex scenes and over 600 special effects, has since received a whopping 30 nominations for next month's 2009 AVN Awards, including Best Video Feature, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Special Effects, and Best All-Girl Couples Sex Scene.
Last Wednesday, while Hustler Hollywood's flagship store celebrated its tenth anniversary, just a few miles down Sunset Blvd., UCLA's Campus Events Commission hosted a free screening of Digital Playground's ( MySpace) blockbuster epic adult movie PIrates II: Stagnetti's Revenge ( MySpace) at the Ackerman Union Grand Ballroom.
