Jamie Gillis' "On the Prowl" series

[Kevin S. Member Find all posts View Profile Close Kevin S.]

So I recently started reading Peter Sotos' book PURE FILTH about Jamie and his ON THE PROWL series. I dont really have much interest in "gonzo" porn, but because Jamie is involved Im curious. Anyone know where I can find uncut versions of these? Anyone know more info about them?

Just wondering what you guys think about this series. It sounds disturbing, but an interesting portrayal of odd human behavior. I need to see these. lol.

I don't think I've ever seen these either, and am also curious because of having read Pure Filth (which is a great book).

Have you read anything else by Sotos Ian? His stuff is pretty insane.

Ive been trying to find some of the ON THE PROWL SERIES, but they are hard to find. I cant even find bootlegs. Im not really one to use torrents and that sort of thing, so I probably will never end up seeing these. But if anyone finds them, please let me know!

New Limited edition of 300:

Desistance
Peter Sotos



Publisher: Nine-Banded Books
Release date: September 15, 2014
8 x 8 | 214 pages
Price: $25.00

In this prismatic and obliquely appreciative study of Antoine D'Agata's photography, Peter Sotos arraigns the fraught vocabulary of gallery apologists — and of D'Agata himself — to locate a “finer definition of pornography” beneath the exigent demands of desire, transgression, and art.

From the text:

Not an argument with Antoine. What he says makes sense to me. Antoine can try. To articulate the lives, or his. Not enough like mine or how one should learn by now to mope. My choice to reduce his vague, perfectly desperate responses to even less isn't done to pinpoint prurience or laud the banality of contradictions and intellectualized sexual honesty. I think he should be placed in art rather than pornography, since, honestly, one has to choose, label, sell, mutter. Having a place to go where the level isn't boastful but conciliatory is a better place to have. The arguments are most often with those that need to blame the offer; who usually opt for the same slimy conclusion as me. Important to them to find expansion, humanity, a lean reason instead of bulk obsession. Failure, shrug-marketing and limp frightened objects performing jobs. Sex is tacky, central, but mysterious as long as the mystery is highlighted. Condemn the pain on one side while indulging it on the other. Pick bravery and introspection rather than impulsive divestiture and repetition. Point to the pain, reference a cause, track back but don't return. Don't progress unless it's to be overwhelmed.

From the text:

Some will misunderstand it as pornography, yes? Reduce your introspection to their dogging level. The forum is sick, the conversation corrupted by the audience, the need for contextual references, the historical over the esthetic, diminished by lifeless answer rather than stiff ignorance. This, sucker, is where you become as lousy, easy, as the pornographers you seek to sound less like. Your tolerance, coming before your sale, is defensive. Your bravery given to you inconveniently by those who call you a coward. A rule of thumb, easily employed, only ever silently, my darling, is to substitute the word “adult” over every catcall of “coward.” “Thought” over every “need.” Repulsively, “product” over “art.” And it'll help you to insist on “desistance” over “desire.”

From the text:

I like to think that the work I've done has forced me to look forward as an old dying man from the very first time I saw it. From when I was younger, not that I would have wanted to stay there. Drippy nostalgia, grief, that I have. But the questions, for example, that Antoine D'Agata bats off, come from him first. He convinces them before they open their selling robot french mouths. Might think they're asking questions they've thought up. And you start talking about progress. The lack of it. The medication to escape. The desire to have desires that don't lose yourself in desire. That's for him. I don't think the art stands up to the complimentary mock attacks but you don't turn around and say that you just want to be happy. Or even learn to enjoy the pain.

Destistance will be published in a limited edition of 300 copies. We are now accepting advance orders.

9/16/2014 UPDATE: Desistance just arrived from the printer. I will be filling advance orders over the next week. International orders may take a bit longer to fill. Thank you for your patience.

I'd like to see all of those titles get deluxe blu-ray releases. I've seen them all except for "Africa Interview" & "Eve"; does anyone have details on those two? I never picked up the Gillis/Sotos book due to the price. Despite the limited edition, it's still readily available.

I have a few of them on VHS (and a few VHS ripped files of them on some backup drive) and yeah... they're as horrific and as... Gillis.. as you'd imagine.

Since I first saw this thread I've been checking out the "On the Prowl" series and WTB. The OTP series I remembered from back in the day but I didn't know about WTB, also found another "Rachel Humiliated". Wow! What can I say? I never realised Jamie was such a slimeball. Well I've seen Waterpower but that was acting, right? Don't know what you could say these were.

There were also quite a few enema videos made that did not involve any of the verbal abuse. Someone who knew Gillis told me the 'underground' videos were made for sale in a videostore. He told me the name but I can't remember it anymore.

I once emailed Gillis at his webtv address & he wrote back to say for $60 he'd FedEx me a video but didn't give any details about what kind of video. I didn't order, unfortunately.

One of my favorite Gillis movies- I think it was for Redboard Video- was him domming/degrading a woman who was (pleasantly) thick. He made her sit naked on the couch and eat an entire bag of potato chips while delivering a typical Gillis tirade. I need to find that sucker.
