If Richard and James didn't know, I think they should apologise and change the Facebook post. If they did know, then what they did is astonishingly cruel and inexcusable.

yep, i've had spats with CW too. he's quick to anger. however, there's no excuse to put the boot in when someone is hurting.

tbh I only go to 88 when there isn't an alternative as I find them hit and miss. i may go even less now...

Didnt know calum was on insta. Yeah they should take that post down.

But like I said with calum it's gone beyond just snapping. Putting up a post on the high rising fb page making out that someone was a Polanski sympathiser just so that he can make another rant about arrow and deliberately twisting what someone said (all they said was that Polanskis victim had found the press harassment and unwanted fame was worse for her than the assault itself, which she has said repeatedly every time she gets harassed by the press) just because they're doing some work for arrow, I find more unforgivable, considering how troublesome that could be for them on social networks and get bad reputation.

But yes they really should get rid of that post and/or apologise if they havent done so already.

But again not justifying 88 but the amount of times calum has verbally started on people (including me just because I said there is truth that many porn stars regret entering the industry, from interviewingthe ones who became popular and not the ones who careers were over after a few months) and throwing rants complaints/insults at companies even while he was currently working for them. Very trump like.

I do enjoy his interviews and think high rising is one of the best but he also "guilt by association" someone for doing work with arrow over a comment on another site. A comment that was telling the truth but could be misread by knee jerkers (especially by the way calum wrote about him). Something I still think is more unforgivable then what 88 has done.

I'm sorry if calums mum is on her last hours and 2 wrongs dont make a right.
But is it really surprising if one of the companies he publicly became hostile to, snapped back publicly?

I cannot believe I'm having to come here and defend myself but the post you say I made which is more 'unforgivable' than the one 88 made is based on my reaction to the screenshot attached, where I've removed the person's name (and I have no interest of naming this person, let me add, and nor should you, indeed we all grow and learn from stupid things we have said in the past and I will assume this gentleman is no different) where he states that someone of 15 has had consensual sex (!) and then indicates someone having consensual sex somehow indicates a relation to rape (!!). If you think my utter disgust at this comment = something *unforgivable* then I have no words.

The High Rising Facebook page was removed almost two years ago. I have zero interest in online battles, as I'm sure you can appreciate, particularly now. Thanks for the kind words about our work.

As for the 88 comment - my sole interest just now is being at my mum's side when possible. I have no interest in their comments nor their opinions of my work, past or present, as it will never be on their discs again.

I'll add one last thing - off topic: Alzheimer's and dementia in general is a horrible, horrible thing to experience firsthand. If anyone on this forum has had to deal with this firsthand with a close relative, I cannot express how much you have my admiration for coming out the other end.

Was never going to mention the persons name and yep rereading that I do think u still twisted his words.

But again I am very sorry to hear about your mum and while I know she wont recover from her dementia I do hope her health improves.

Nothing to twist. Clue: a 15 year old does not have consensual sex. Get a grip.

'Erotic Ghost Story' (1990) [UNCUT] - CATIII

LIMITED TO 2000 UNITS

"From the director of the legendarily bonkers The Story of Ricky comes an altogether more lubricious slice of adults-only action, one that more than lives up to its title.

Our ghosts are a trio of saucy spirits with nothing better to do than to deceive unwary (and/ or horny) men, but that's until all three of them get the hots for a hunky scholar. They settle down to show him the pleasures of the flesh. Except the path of true lust does not run smooth...

Branded with Hong Kong's infamous Category III rating for its commitment to carnality and starring amply endowed icon of Sino sex cinema Amy Yip (Sex and Zen), the supernatural studs at 88 Films are proud to present the UK Blu-ray premier of this soft-core classic – completely UNCUT."

Pre-order available at Amazon UK - £23.04

^ is this film as cartoonish as the artwork suggests?

I like how C.W only seems to post on here to have a go back at someone in response to some perceived criticism of some sort. What I find rather curious is how he becomes aware of said criticisms in the first place.
It's almost as if he has a minion on here reporting back every time there is something that might be worthy of offending C.W.
