Actually, there is a lot of discourse out there about porn, whether talking about the structure of the films themselves or the societal implications. Is your club going to be academic at all? If so, I recommend pretty much anything by Chris Straayer, specifically Devient Eyes, Devient Bodies. I took a class on pornography from her and it was very good. Additionally, Toby Miller's Sportsex takes a more social prospective on mostly queer erotica (although I think it's also a valid point for heterosexual erotica) and why certain images provoke certain reactions.
Hmm, maybe I'm just way overpromoting my teachers... and I'm not even in school anymore.
I also wrote a paper on porn (well, on the body genres, which includes porn) if you want a post-modern perspective...
Of course, if you just want to watch porn movies, party on and pass the chicken.
Does this lower car insurance in anyway? Because that would be my only motivation for participating. Well, and the GPS system just sounds fun.

First: Compaq laptop
There's your problem. In my experience, Compaqs seem to last about 2 or 3 years before there is a mysterious explosion/crash type thing. Of course, most of my experience is with the desktops, so I could be mistaken.
If you can recover your memory, you may want to consider just getting a new system, since most places I know of will charge you over $100 just to look at the computer.
Aww, man. ::removes hat::

Actually, only one of them wore safety goggles. Ironically, he's the only one that got hit in the face.

Did we learn all these tricks from movies (ahem The Godfather)? Who says violence on film and TV is a bad thing.
