Once More, With Feeling
Victoria Coren and Charlie Skelton, humor writers for the Erotic Review, have produced their own porno flick and written a book entitled Once More, With Feeling chronicling the venture. Observer Stephanie Merritt writes:
It is a relentlessly funny book and I couldn't put it down. But it is almost exhaustingly funny, as if it's being performed as a stand-up show and the audience's attention will wander if a moment of pathos or serious questioning is allowed to linger. In one sense this doesn't matter - they have made it quite clear from the beginning what kind of tone the reader is to expect, and it is more Carry On Cinematographer than Naomi Wolf - but as thinking people they cannot help questioning some of the attitudes they encounter, as well as their own, and the reader might sometimes wish they would allow these thoughts room to develop, rather than appearing embarrassed by them and quickly swatting them away with a gag.
The Observer also has an excerpt from Once More, With Feeling.
