Hollywood s infamous Chateau Marmont
If hell had a VIP area, then it might look a little like Hollywood s Chateau Marmont. The glitzy, 63-room establishment on Sunset Boulevard has seen more than its fair share of Tinseltown s great and good come unstuck. Its tagline Always a safe haven, always open and impish faun mascot wink to its hedonistic reputation. It s a glimpse of old Hollywood, before it got all straight-laced and sober.
At least, it was. Now some very un-glamorous accusations are tarnishing the establishment s reputation. In 2017, the New York Times reported allegations against its owner Andre Balazs and alleged that its management had allowed a toxic culture of racism and sexual harassment to be perpetrated. (Balazs has denied this.)

The Telephone Book is smut of the highest order. Every frame is perverted, twisted fun. I felt giddy the entire time watching it, like I was flipping through a
Playboy for the first time. Though there s no full penetration,
Telephone Book is, without a doubt, a pretty porny (or porn chic as producer Merv Bloch says) affair. The film is centered around Alice (Sarah Kennedy), a perpetually horny woman who receives Thee Most Obscene And Hottest sex phone call from an unknown caller. Determined to bang him in real life, she pours through the telephone book, encountering pervy stranger after stranger, looking for the peen that matches the mysterious voice.
