I’m sure I’ve posted this pic before – or something from this photoshoot – but it’s the chain border from this magazine that made me re-post.
why I don’t have a “tag” or “category” for Clay Russell – too lazy? Maybe later, gorgeous day outside!
Warehouse Load – part of the Men at Work magazine and film loop series (1978) – with two of my favorites, Clay Russell and Ron Stevens. I don’t remember where I got the clip, but try to ignore the music, or turn it off completely – there’s no dialogue or even fake grunts.
I just wish I had better versions of the images from the magazine – the ones from the 8MM flyer are great, but I only have bad shots of, not from, the magazine…. of course, this post, cleverly title Russell_RonStevens, shows one image I love 3 times in case you miss it the first two!
Director: Six Card Stud (1975) – Clay Russell, Dave Daniels, Paul Strand, Perry Rand, Scott Heith, and Tim Christy
I could find no pics of any of them together, let alone all 3, so what the heck – been wanting to use that amazing CLAY RUSSELL pic above for ever (and if I could EVER get a hold of the magazine, or scans from….) and once I nabbed this preview clip and realized who else was in it – I realized I have very few pics of the others! As much of I am a fan of Clay, the few moments of Paul Strand on that sofa showing off his butt in this clip made me more interested in his scene than Clay’s; if you look at the link, you’ll see that Clay is paired with Tim Christy (and despite Clay retaining ALL his back hair for this film), I’m just not into Tim. Plot – these 3 play cards, relaying a sex story each. The finale you’d expect would be the 3 of them, right? and yes, you get to see them, slurping away on each other’s crotches… for….
less than 30 seconds! WHO WOULD WASTE THESE 3 IN THE SAME ROOM? My only guess/explanation is that the film of the 3 of them never got developed properly…. or maybe it’s yet another VHS version that had 3 of 4 scenes, and didn’t care. I suppose finding a review from the time might clarify.
Have I ever made a “tag” for “El Paso Wrecking Corp.”?
probably not a bad idea, but exhausting! and this teaser pic, where I haven’t included the actual cover pic, or inside pic, of Mr. Halsted? An experiment, as I keep forgetting that the wordpress program automatically resizes images, so I can leave larger file sizes for folks to right click on and view, or save, bigger. Or if on your phone or tablet, you can do that 2 finger thing. No, not THAT 2 finger thing! dirty minds!
Actually, I really liked looking at Richard Locke and Clay Russell – and seeing how much taller Richard is! Is the text saying the 3rd man (with clothes on) is Same Gage?
AKA The Hustler
“a hustler goes with just anybody” and other pearls of wisdom from JACK WRANGLER. But where’d the funny accent come from, Jack? As corny as the film can be (Chinese dinner reference? oh, Jack!), there is plenty of JACK WRANGLER and his terrific body (cock) throughout the film. Okay, maybe the last 5 minutes is disappointingly short and clearly missing something.
Director: Fred Halsted (1987) 83 minutes
Starring: Fred Halsted, David Spectrum, Clay Russell, Dean, Gregory, Jesse Jones (AKA Mick Christopher), Al Ford
from Gay Erotic Video Index – “Ten beautiful muscular Body Builders. Hot & horny action, with fetishes spanking, body worship, sweat socks and armpits. Interracial.”
Four young guys recount their sexual experiences and fantasies. First guy up describes his fantasy with muscle studs Clay Russell and David Spectrum; next up, Al Ford describes his “DAD”, Fred Halsted catching him reading a porn magazine, takes him over his knee and spanks him, them makes him jack off; finally Jesse Jones gets it on with a straight buddy..
Original music: Cooltoons, Inc. – I kinda dig the music.
There’s a lot not to like about Fred Halsted’s last effort (we can do that in the comments, if you care to watch the movie first – Fred’s dirty talk while the guy can’t get it up is kinda up there on the list!), but I do remember at the time enjoying Clay Russell’s body being adored, and this was still in a porno theater, so no fast forward – you either sat and watched, or got up and roamed around the theatre… (that’s for another time – or go look thru the archives!) ANd maybe I’m alone here, but the “str8” guy getting talked into getting head is kinda fun. Of course he’s holding a beer, hasn’t “gotten any in 3 weeks” so, ya know, what the hell???!
For a less charitable view – check this out – The Pornography of Exhaustion and Tape Decay: Fred Halsted’s Fast Friends (1986) – “This is a sad, dispiriting effort all around, and it’s merely to contribute some commentary on the late-Halsted oeuvre that I even bother here; it seems nobody else has seen fit to do so.”
“When we began to put this project together, we considered calling our film “Colt Meets Target” for our two models first caught our eye in the work of these two studios. John Towers was featured in a recent Colt catalogue (under a different name) and Clay Russell is featured in Target’s most recent Ramrod magazine. So, if you are familiar with these studios’ work (and we hope you are), you know what to expect when John and Clay meet in the locker room beautiful bodies, super-masculine faces, sex-oriented personalities and hot and heavy action.”
Clay Russell and John Towers (AKA Butch McAlister) did a total of 3 films together; Marine Set Up and The Cowboy scene from The Boys of Venice (1979) were the other two.
