Lords of the Lockerroom is art. Maybe not art of the highest caliber, but certainly not of the lowest either. It did not break ground and it did not resolve or present a morale or message for the masses. LOTL is a stopgap, a moment in time captured in film, of the beginning of something truly fantastic. When it was created Mr Harrington could not have predicted the effect it would have on his life, how much of an effect the film would have on the lives of millions of thrill seeking onlookers who had grown bored of the WWE and other such displays of mainstream "manliness". The nature of the lockerroom, of the men involved, had at the time not been fully realized.
In hindsight we know now that this film was not meant to be special, not meant to push boundaries or break norms. It was made for simple titillation. But it is from this humble beginning that sparked the career that made many internet viewers astounded. This film changed the very definition of the terms: wrestling, manliness, leather, and jabroni. There is no way a film of this type should have been such a fortuitous venture. And yet it was.
The only quarrel I have with the film is the audio, the sound is remarkably poorly produced in the lockerroom scenes and if it were not for the fact that I have seen the film 36 times by now I would find it hard to distinguish what the characters were saying. Especially Mr Steel during his introduction.
That being said, just watch it, you may be surprised about how you feel once you've appropriately..."finished".
