Surprise Me: A Charlie Forde Story

For a change, Pure Taboo issued this website segment on a timely basis on VOD for fans who don't subscribe to the website. It is somewhat misleadingly titled as "a Charlie Forde" story. She does not act in the show, and doesn't get any writing credit (that goes to Gamma Entertainment hack Penicio Del Toro), but directed, so the label has adhered to that influential but no longer in vogue French "auteur theory", ascribing primary artistic ownership of a movie to its director.

It is stylishly directed, with more than a nod to Hitchcock's classic "Rear Window". Slim storyline has a new neighbor moving in across the street from cutie Lulu Chu: we can see him through her window moving boxes immediately from the beginning of the segment. Background exposition has her on the phone with friend Jenny reminiscing how they had a crush on the guy, their professor, in school --what a coincidence his moving in.

She sees him undressing in his window and Lulu starts masturbating, and having an orgasm just at the thought of seeing him again. She shoots a polaroid of him at his window as they pantomime exchange glances and recognition, remembering each other.

Next day she pins an envelope on his door containing the polaroid and her door key, but she waits in vain for him to come over. Later she's in the bathroom brushing her teeth and suddenly he pops up behind her unannounced, per the scene's title. Cue the gonzo sex for the rest of the video, with a non-ending after his money shot.

Forde does a fine job as director, though I (and her fans for sure) lament the fact that she doesn't appear on screen. Hopefully she will follow up with an interesting story in which she also stars.
