Wow - time really does fly when you are having fun! One year ago today I launched this blog.
Originally called MOVIES THAT MAKE YOU SAY "HUH?" - the focus was mainly on bad movies that I love. That first day alone, I posted 5 reviews that first appeared on my other blog,
VELVET CANDY ENTERTAINMENT 
(which was created mainly to promote projects that I produce or work on, like
SOCKET,
SCREENING PARTY and
REUNION).
The five first "Huh?" reviews were 1)
POOR PRETTY EDDIE - famous for poor pretty Leslie Uggams getting raped while scenes of dogs copulating are intercut. Just plain nasty! 2)
THE TEACHER - in which DENNIS THE MENACE star Jay North goes nude. Yikes, Mr. Wilson! 3)
THE FAT SPY in which Phyliss Diller shares the screen with Jayne Mansfield! Zoinks! 4)
SOMETIMES AUNT MARTHA DOES DREADFUL THINGS which must be seen to be believed and 5)
THE GARDENER featuring sexy Joe Dallesandro naked, as usual.
Also on that first day, I counted down my
TOP TEN MOVIES THAT MAKE YOU SAY "HUH?". That was fun to do.
In December 2007, I introduced the concept of the "HUH?" HALL OF FAME - and soon inducted the legendary
Liz Taylor and fantastic
Faye Dunaway into the membership. In August 2008, I decided to expand my scope and include all of pop culture into my blog - and so DOUGSPLOITATION was born – starting with a look at the
Peignot font and how the opening titles of the MARY TYLER MOORE Show and THE ABC MOVIE OF THE WEEK shaped me into the blogger I am today. (See my DOUGSPLOITATION logo for reference)
On Sunday, August 25 everything changed when I decided to post a video of a band named "Sonseed" performing
"Jesus is a Friend of Mine". As I've said before I've owned this videotape for 25 years and NEVER thought it would catch on the way it did. The rest is history. The best part about the whole experience (other than gaining 4000 readers each day) is that I've been instrumental in reuniting the lead singer Sal with many of his former bandmates and friends. Which, I think, is the coolest thing about this here internet -it brings people who belong together - together! Looking forward to sharing my silliness with you folks for many years to come! - peace, Doug
