Okay, I’ll confess, I was Van’s friend from RAT newspaper that threw the bottle of Ripple against the wall. I have the VHS of the movie mentioned, worth it for the cover alone. I actually don’t remember hardcore films there, but many that were, oddly enough, in the hard-core era but more SOFT core, probably because they were so cheap, or just fell off the truck. And by this time, many of these were TRIPLE features. Lotsa Spaghetti Westerns with Lee Van Cleef which at the same time, were on television in the afternoon.There was a weird graphic novel aspect with roaming weirdos, as well as drunks and bums in the back that snored, often loudly. Ocassionally, mgt would come down the aisle yelling “EYES GLEAM” (ICE GLEAM) which they sold, contributing to the slick and sticky veneer which hung about. When he got to the front, where the mens room was, he’d holler and clear the place.
