Blood Sister: One Tough Nun, one of Himself’s few commercial successes, wouldn’t have made near the money it made if it hadn’t come out just as InterLace was starting to purchase first-run features for its rental menus and hyping the cartridges with one-time Spontaneous Disseminations. It was the sort of sleazy-looking shocksploitation film that would have had a two-week run in multiplex theaters 8 and above and then gone right to the featureless brown boxes of magnetic-video limbo.
I skimmed BS: OTN my first two readings and didn't really ascribe it much significance until my 4th time, really. It's a semi-funny parody of AA with layers of literary/art critixism that I enjoy. But it goes on for a long time.
