I find that hard to swallow.

It was a seminal work.

This. Though I voted for the movie since it’s closer.

Worked in NYC when Linda Lovelace in Deep Throat was on a movie marquee on 42nd Street when 42nd Street was a lot seedier than it is now.

The other movie in the double-feature was Balls in Action.

It’s got to be 40 years or so since I saw it (the marquee–I never saw either movie) and never forgot it. Crazy the stuff that sticks in your mind. 😃

Oh yeah, the scandal was much later so I think of it second.

I automatically thought of the informant. Watergate was one of the more shameful chapters in U.S. history; Deep Throat was just a movie about blowjobs.

Both things immediately come to mind, neither more than the other.
