The Real Midnight Express

Does anybody remember the movie Midnight Express?

I remember watching this a long time ago and being incredibly turned on yet also scared half out of my wits. A large part of the movie’s appeal for me was the very hot and studly Brad Davis in the lead role. If you are not familiar with this Oscar-winning movie, it told the (mostly) true story of 23-year-old college student Billy Hayes, who was locked up for drug smuggling in Istanbul, Turkey. He eventually escaped.

An episode from a while back of the National Geographic channel’s Locked Up Abroad interviews the REAL Billy Hayes and tells his real story.

Hey prisoners,

As we all know, James Franco is no stranger to bondage. Now, there is apparently a new documentary about Kink.com — parent site of Bound Gods, Bound In Public, Butt Machine Boys, Men On Edge and Naked Kombat — that has been produced by James Franco and is to be unveiled at Sundance 2013.

And … this is IN ADDITION to Franco’s new movie “Interior. Leather Bar” that I mentioned in an earlier post here on Metalbond.
