I'm not a big fan of porn models wearing masks. If a cute porn model is wearing a mask, I don't think it's an improvement on her looks. Also, if she removes the mask, and gives the stunt cock a blow job, or even if she doesn't remove the mask, but they are fucking, how much protection is there for the performers? Is bodily contact safe? Am I supposed to be worrying about the corona virus while watching porn? (I worry about it, at the back of my mind, enough, without have to think about it while watching porn.) Should we make this a Porn Users poll: Who's in favor of their favorite porn models wearing masks? In softcore? In hardcore? Only if the girl is really ugly, or has bad teeth, or given some other good reason? | |

Variety Aug 1, 2020 3:30pm PT Rhode Island Mistakenly Mails Tax Refund Checks Signed by Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney More than 150 people in Rhode Island accidentally received tax refund checks signed by none other than Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney, rather than their state officials. According to CNN, the misprinted signatures were on 176 tax refund checks. The error was the result of a technical glitch in the printing system for the state’s Division of Taxation. The state’s news station WPRI reported that Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney are the names used on dummy checks for internal testing. Jade Borgeson, chief of staff for Rhode Island’s Department of Revenue, told CNN that the test-image files were mistakenly used on the real checks. Rhode Island’s state treasurer Seth Magaziner and state controller Peter Keenan should have been the signatures featured on the checks. In a photo posted by NBC 10 WJAR online, Mickey Mouse’s name was printed where Magaziner’s should have been, and Disney’s took Keenan’s spot. The 176 tax refund checks were mostly corporate tax refunds and were mailed to taxpayers on Monday. The misprinted checks were mostly related to business taxes, like sales tax, corporate refunds and tax credit refunds. After they were mistakenly mailed out, the checks were voided and can no longer be deposited. Replacement checks with the proper signatures will be mailed out to the affected taxpayers within a week. “The division is continuing to proactively contact impacted taxpayers to remedy the error, and apologizes for any inconvenience the error may have caused,” Borgeson told CNN. Rhode Island’s Division of Taxation said that anyone who received one of the incorrect checks should contact the Department of Revenue. | |

Apology accepted. Actually, any replies are gratefully accepted. PU has become a ghost town, and all members and visitors are welcomed. (Except Canadians will need to show a green card as proof of devotion to the Greatest Nation on Earth.) I was born here, so they implanted a microfiber signal that flashes whenever I reach orgasm, as evidence of my sincere loyalty. | |

There are lots of talk and people pushing conspiracy theories about the corona virus. People don't know what to believe. Some people are saying it's all a hoax, or at least that the virus is being politicized (used as a political weapon by a political party). Whatever. But most people seem to agree that people are dying. What's the best way to fight the disease? People disagree. Are masks necessary. People dis-agree. And many people are tired of the rules saying masks are necessary, that we need to keep social distancing, that we can't gather in large groups, that we aren't free to do whatever the hell we want. But since people keep dying, I would rather be safe than sorry I got the virus. I don't want the pain of the disease, which can be extreme. I also don't want to die. So I'd rather stay home as much as possible, and wait for the disease to go away. Which could take a long while. A vaccine might be developed and available some time next year. If not even later. Do I want to wait? No. But I also don't want to get sick and experience the pain that some people are complaining about. Getting back to the thread topic: why haven't the excommunicated Canadian Porn Members answered the charges that Canada has disrespected the United States of America? Do they think that Donald Trump, our Commander in Chief, affectionately known by his admirers as Old Bone Spurs, will not be able to take Canada down with his weapon of choice, the Nucleized Tweet of Mass Destruction? Beware, Canadians, Donald Trump is locked and loaded, able to fire at will. | |

Although PU tries to portray itself as a civil, welcoming community, we are loyal to the idea of making Porn Great Again. With sadness in our hearts, we must ex-communicate all Canadians from our community. The reason: Justin Trudeau has declared war on the United States of America. He has slandered our great and glorious leader, President Bone Spurs. Trudeau cites the following: As of Wednesday night, Canada had recored 106,434 confirmed coronavirus cases, and its national death toll stood at 8,737, according to authorities. The U.S., which has around nine times the population of its northern neighbor, has logged about 30 times as many cases and about 15 times as many deaths. In the race to be the first and biggest and best, US figures show 15 times as many deaths as Canada. So Americans are more willing to die than Canadians. America first. America the greatest. Throw away your masks, embrace your neighbors, and let freedom ring throughout the land, and at the PU site!!! -------- -------- Justin Trudeau says Canada managed coronavirus better than allies — ‘particularly’ U.S. New York Daily News Tim Balk Jul 9th 2020 1:16PM Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn’t sugarcoat it. In a news conference on Wednesday, the 48-year-old Canadian leader said his country has controlled coronavirus “better than many of our allies, particularly including our neighbor,” Reuters quoted the man whose country borders just one other nation. Trudeau declined an invitation to attend an event on Wednesday in Washington with President Trump and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Trudeau cited scheduling reasons for passing on the event. His gentle Trump-trolling talk came as The Great White North’s COVID-19 outbreak stabilizes in stark contrast to the U.S., where the pandemic is roaring. As of Wednesday night, Canada had recored 106,434 confirmed coronavirus cases, and its national death toll stood at 8,737, according to authorities. The U.S., which has around nine times the population of its northern neighbor, has logged about 30 times as many cases and about 15 times as many deaths. New cases have surged across much of the America in recent days, with outbreaks raging in states including California and Florida. “The situation is stabilizing in Canada, because Canadians did their part and followed public health instructions,” Trudeau said. “But we still have to be very careful. Things can change quickly.” | |

This is real news: Indian schoolgirls discover asteroid moving toward the earth. "The asteroid is currently close to the orbit of Mars -- but in 1 million years, it will change its orbit and move closer to Earth, although it will still be at a distance of more than 10 times the distance which exists between the Earth and the Moon." President Trump has authorized the United States Space Force. Will Bruce Willis head the project to deflect or destroy the asteroid? He has saved the Earth once already, in the documentary Armageddon, so he has the knowledge and experience needed. Will President Trump allow Willis the honor of saving the entire world, once again? Willis leans toward being a Republican. So party politics favor Willis being chosen. And if Willis is able to deflect or destroy the asteroid, Trump's chances of winning the election in 2020 will rise dramatically. Go, Willis, our first space hero. --- --- CNN Indian schoolgirls discover asteroid moving toward Earth By Swati Gupta and Amy Woodyatt, CNN 2 hrs ago Two Indian schoolgirls have discovered an asteroid which is slowly shifting its orbit and moving toward Earth. Radhika Lakhani and Vaidehi Vekariya, both studying in 10th grade, were working on a school project when they discovered the asteroid, which they named HLV2514. The girls, from the city of Surat in the western Indian state of Gujarat, were participating in a Space India and NASA project, which allows students to analyze images taken by a telescope positioned at the University of Hawaii. Aakash Dwivedi, senior educator and astronomer at Space India, told CNN that students across India were taught how to spot the celestial bodies using software which analyzes images collected by NASA's PAN Star telescope. Students then searched for moving objects in the pictures. The project, Dwivedi explained, was intended to involve and educate students in science and astronomy. "We started the project in June and we sent back our analysis a few weeks ago to NASA. On July 23, they sent us an email confirming that we had identified a near Earth object," Vekariya, who is 15 years old, told CNN. Dwivedi explained that the asteroid is currently close to the orbit of Mars -- but in 1 million years, it will change its orbit and move closer to Earth, although it will still be at a distance of more than 10 times the distance which exists between the Earth and the Moon. "Asteroids are taken very seriously by NASA. Since this asteroid is changing its orbit it has become news," said Dwivedi. Asteroids, also known as minor planets, are small rocky objects that orbit the sun. Vekariya said pupils could not celebrate the discovery, due to the pandemic, but added: "This was a dream. I want to become an astronaut." She said: "It is such a vast topic. There is no limit to search in space, especially the black hole theory." | |

To summarize your post, Wraith0711: 1. Many tests for the covid virus are either being faked or are reporting false positives. 2. Many of the autoposy reports for deaths are misleading or wrong: many deaths attributed to the covid virus were not related to the covid virus. If the two previous points are correct, that would seem to imply the news reports on the covid virus are very misleading. Why isn't a large part of the medical profession speaking out about these misleading reports? It's reported that the US has had 151,000 covid-related deaths. What percentage of those deaths are non-covid-related? Do we need to wear masks in public? Do we need to stay home and avoid public gatherings? What the hell is going on? Is there a conspiracy that is forcing the US population to self-isolate? | |

I saw him in Enter the Dragon back in the 1970s in a movie theater. Great action flick, that started the Hong Kong karate movie trend. Even Elvis Presley started using karate moves in his nightclub routine. LOL. ----- ----- The prolific performer was best known for Enter the Dragon and A Nightmare on Elm Street. By Jordan Hoffman July 26, 2020 Actor John Saxon Dies at Age 83 By Kobal/Shutterstock John Saxon, the teen idol who later starred in martial arts and horror films, died Saturday at the age of 83. The cause was pneumonia, according to his widow. Saxon was born Carmine Orrico in Brooklyn in 1936. Talent agent Henry Wilson, who also discovered Rock Hudson and Tab Hunter, saw his photo on the cover of a magazine and convinced the 17-year-old to change his name. Early projects from the 1950s include The Unguarded Moment, opposite Esther Williams, and Running Wild, opposite Mamie Van Doren. He soon graduated to higher echelon films, working with notable directors like Blake Edwards opposite Debbie Reynolds in This Happy Feeling, Vincent Minnelli opposite Sandra Dee in The Reluctant Debutante, Frank Borzage in sandal epic The Big Fisherman, and John Huston in The Unforgiven. In 1966 he was nominated for a best supporting actor Golden Globe for his portrayal of Mexican bandit Chuy Medena in The Appaloosa opposite Marlon Brando. In 1973, Saxon starred with Bruce Lee in Enter The Dragon, one of the most profitable movies ever made. This was Lee’s first starring role in a Hollywood film, and the last that he completed. The 1970s and early 1980s included saw Saxon quite busy, appearing on mainstream television shows like The Six Million Dollar Man, Starsky and Hutch, Hawaii Five-0, Vega$, Quincy M.E., Magnum P. I., and Fantasy Island, plus a slew of lower budget feature films. (There’s some gold in that run, like Bob Clark’s Black Christmas, David Cronenberg’s Fast Company, and the John Sayles-penned Star Wars “homage” for Roger Corman, Battle Beyond the Stars.) In 1983, however, he starred in what turned out to be not just another horror picture, but the launch of a major pop culture phenomenon, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Saxon’s Lt. Thompson returned in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and in Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. Also in the 1980s, Saxon had a recurring role on Dynasty as a Middle Eastern oil tycoon named Rashid Ahmed who wooed Joan Collins, and as Lorenzo Lamas’s father on Falcon Crest. In 1996 he appeared as an FBI agent in the Robert Rodriguez-Quentin Tarantino collaboration From Dusk Til Dawn, and he had one writer-director credit, an action-horror picture from 1988 called Death House. | |

Hard feelings are perfectly acceptable. Especially as we get older. But the hard feelings come less often. It's part of the aging process. Sometimes I search for a week or more, looking for the harder time, and it seems to have evaporated. Ahh, the joys of tumescence. A moment of fleeting joy. | |

Attractive newcomers appear all the time. Too many to keep track of. And all the oldtimers that are my favorites still hold a lot of interest for me. So I can't reduce it down to only a few newcomers. Or even a few oldtimers. That's just me. Edited on Jul 26, 2020, 03:27pm | |

Disney Removes ‘Mulan’ From Slate, Pushes ‘Avatar’ and ‘Star Wars’ Films Back One Year “It’s become clear that nothing can be set in stone,” studio says in statement Jeremy Fuster and Brian Welk | July 23, 2020 @ 2:00 PM Last Updated: July 23, 2020 @ 2:54 PM Mulan 2020 Liu Yifei Photo credit: Walt Disney Studios As COVID-19 infections continue to surge in U.S. states, Disney announced on Thursday that it is indefinitely postponing the release of Niki Caro’s remake of “Mulan,” effectively ending hopes of salvaging the summer blockbuster season. “Over the last few months, it’s become clear that nothing can be set in stone when it comes to how we release films during this global health crisis, and today that means pausing our release plans for ‘Mulan’ as we assess how we can most effectively bring this film to audiences around the world,” the studio said in a statement. In addition, all scheduled “Avatar” sequels and “Star Wars” films have been delayed one year, and other films set to be released by Disney, 20th Century Studios and Searchlight in September and October have also been pushed back, including Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch,” which Searchlight has now indefinitely postponed. Also Read: 'Tenet' Delayed Again to Unnamed 2020 Date Other films moved include 20th Century’s “The Empty Man,” which moves from August 7 to December 4; Ridley Scott’s “The Last Duel,” which moves from a Christmas Day limited release to October 15, 2021; and Searchlight’s “The Personal History of David Copperfield,” which now gets a limited release on August 28. James Cameron released a statement to Twitter explaining the delay of the “Avatar” films, saying that though some live-action filming is proceeding in New Zealand, the virtual production work on stages in Los Angeles makes it impossible for the team to make its December 2021 release date. “That work is just as critical to the films as the live action work,” Cameron wrote. “There is no one more disappointed about this delay than me.” Also Read: Why Warner Bros. Should Reconsider Releasing 'Tenet' for Streaming on HBO Max Cameron’s four “Avatar” sequels, which are now over a decade removed from the original film, are now slated up through 2028, with “Avatar 5” meant to hit theaters on Dec. 22, 2028. As it stands, the next films on the release slate for Disney and 20th Century are “The New Mutants,” which has long been delayed well before the coronavirus pandemic, and Searchlight’s “The Personal History of David Copperfield,” both set for Aug. 28. Disney has also given a release date to “Antlers,” which since the pandemic started has been undated. The horror film from Scott Cooper and producer Guillermo del Toro will open on Feb. 19, 2021, after originally being slated for release in April. “The Woman in the Window,” a psychological thriller starring Amy Adams and from 20th Century, however, is still undated. “Death on the Nile,” the follow up to “Murder on the Orient Express” from Kenneth Branagh, has also shifted two weeks to Oct. 23, 2020. Also Read: AMC Shifts Theater Reopening Schedule After 'Mulan,' 'Tenet' Move Untouched as of yet on the release slate from the previous shuffle of the slate are the MCU movies, with Phase 4 still planning to kick off on Nov. 6, 2020 with “Black Widow.” Disney and Pixar’s “Soul” will also open Nov. 20, 2020 as previously planned. The shift of “Mulan” off the release slate follows the move of “Tenet” by Warner Bros. on Monday. That film along with “Mulan” were both meant to be blockbusters among the first to return to movie theaters in the late summer that could help spur audiences back to theater chains, all of which mostly remain closed. AMC in particular has pushed back its phased opening until mid-August as it awaits other Hollywood product that can lure audiences back. Warner Bros. said that “Tenet” would open at some point this year, but the studio also said that it would do so unconventionally, opening the door to the possibility that “Tenet” could open internationally or overseas before it is able to open domestically, as well as the possibility that the movie may not open in every city at once in a wide release. | |

I tried clicking on the fm-teens.com hot link at the PU site, and find a page that says the site name is for sale. So did the fm-teens.com die? It was a fine site for teen porn, mainly for photos, but also had videos. How many other sites are going down in the virus epidemic? I'm sure a lot of porn sites are hurting. | |

Wraith0711, where do you read all this information about the porn world? I get almost all my information about the porn world from reading the PU site, so real information about what's happening with these performers/models is slow and irregular. And I miss most of the issues and developments most of the time. Do you read some sites that discuss porn world issues? | |

There are plenty of massage-theme sites. yonitale.com focused on girls getting off on massages. A lot of lovely teen, early-twenties models. But that site closed not too long ago. Adult Time has several massage-theme sites. Teen Mega World has Tricky Masseur. The last update was in May, but the site has 229 videos (plus matching photosets). Almost all the videos at Tricky Masseur can be seen at the All Fine Girls site (part of what used to be the Diesel Access network), and also at the Rub A Teen site (part of Team Skeet), and at other teen porn sites. The Tricky Masseur videos are less artistic than the Hegre massage videos, but I really enjoy them because the girls are attractive to really cute, and the massage theme doesn't require a lot of acting, so you can just enjoy the sex. Massage Rooms, with George Uhl, is another fine massage site. Plenty of other massage sites, but Tricky Masseur and Massage Room are probably my favorites. But the Hegre massage videos, as you pointed out, have the most artsy style massage theme videos. Which could make a difference in how much you enjoy a video. I remember the first time I saw a video at The White Boxxx glamour site with Lena Reif in a video, I thought that watching Lena Reif's breasts swaying as she's interacting with her partners, was like poetry in motion.

When the monthly $500 raffle system was first announced, many PU members posted they preferred the older, weekly $100 system where more members would be eligible to win. But the PU staff went ahead with the monthly $500 raffle. My impression is that there was more activity (reviews, comments, replies, whatever) under the weekly $100 system. Separately, but along the same lines, I really think more active participation by the PU staff would be positive. Khan was actively involved as a PU staff member daily. Then the site was sold. First Amanda and then Freddie, as new PU staffers, tried to help the site on a daily basis, as much as they could. When they left, the attitude changed to more hands-off. And I think the site participation, by the members, has dropped off. Because, right or wrong, the feeling seems to be the site is less responsive to the needs and questions of the members. That's just my opinion, of course. Edited on Jul 17, 2020, 04:55am | |

That's the theme of the Pure Taboo site: creepy sex. The more creepy the better. The site is not supposed to be reality porn (which has very little reality, anyway). But an artistic or imaginary exploration of crossing sexual taboos. So the more repulsive, the better. Except that, for visual porn, incest seems to be a gray area. All the visual porn I've seen (legal porn) makes a point that any incest is fake incest: it's not really incest between blood relatives, but step-relatives. So I call it fake incest. I assume that, if a porn scene was showing incest between relatives, and they didn't have the disclaimer, implied or explicit, that there is no real incest being filmed, that there would be legal problems with the video. Why that is, I don't know: I just believe that showing visual incest, without the disclaimer that the incest is fake (no sex between blood relatives), is illegal, and opens the porn to prosecution. I'm speaking in a general sense. Because I have seen scenes where twin girls are having sex with a guy, and that could be considered incest porn. Especially since the girls are not only sharing the stunt cock, but also sharing each other (lesbian activity). | |

It's better for the site if you stay an active member. Your contributions make the site better, a more valuable resource. The badges and points were a reflection of active participation, so I agree their loss is disappointing. But you are a positive contributor to the site, and your absence would be missed. That's my thinking. | |

Tom D Admin posted recently that the PU site has stopped giving out points for accepted reviews. And that the software running the PU site was incredibly difficult to change. So I guess that removing the old points people had for reviews was a decision by the PU staff. And they won't be working to give them back. No big deal. Except that it did serve to tell us that a review we wrote was accepted or rejected by the site. Tom D also posted that site traffic has increased recently, for members and visitors. Which is healthy for the site. And that the goal of the PU staff is to have the site "be as self-sufficient as possible", which explains their hands-off policy. | |

I just got a fake email in my main email address. How do I know it's fake? Because the sender is listed as: from: Myemailaddress. (the email address is my main email address). Since I know I didn't send this email to me, I know it's fake. I guess there are programs that allow spammers to use whatever fake email address they want to put in the sender heading. But why make the sender the same as the recipient? You'd have to be half-asleep, not to know that the mail is fake. If you bothered to read who sent the email. Or, else, you just open all emails automatically, without looking to see who sent them. Whatever. Lately, I've been getting a lot of increased spam. I guess the spammers don't have anything better to do than send out more spam. Honestly, I've been getting over 100 spam emails every day lately. Most of the spam goes directly into my spam box. But a lot of spam goes directly into my inbox. And it's really irritating. | |

I just logged into the PU site. I've lost all my points (for accepted reviews). Also lost my badges (that showed all the past levels of my glorious accomplishments, such as feedback, trust level, etc.). Does this make a difference? Supposedly, only members with 5 or more points can submit a trust rating for another member. There might be other privileges that are tied to your points level, but I don't know what they are. So, am I now considered a newbie, instead of a decorated oldster? On a positive note, I am now tied with exotics4me, who used to have the #1 position on points. We both have 0 points, along with everyone else. | |

Rabbits Reviews has a listing of some porn deals for Fathers Day. The list is disappointing, because most of the sites I looked at seemed to have high prices, and were advertised at other sites for much less money. But the list is a starting point, for sites that might be of interest. But look around, and you can probably find lower membership prices. https://www.rabbitsreviews.com/SitesSear...ly-Theme-Description | |

Variety Jun 19, 2020 4:56am PT Ian Holm, Shakespearean Actor Who Played Bilbo Baggins, Dies at 88 Ian Holm, the classically trained Shakespearean actor best known to film audiences for his performances in films including the “Lord of the Rings” and “Hobbit” movies, “Chariots of Fire” and “Alien,” has died. He was 88. A rep for the actor has said Holm died in hospital on Friday morning. The actor had been battling Parkinson’s Disease for a number of years. However, as recently as January, Holm appeared in person to collect the Newport Beach Film Festival’s Icon Award in London. Holm, who was celebrated for interpretations of most of the Shakespeare canon, including a towering “King Lear,” also excelled onstage in the original production of Harold Pinter’s “The Homecoming,” which he also brought to Broadway. He began working in films only midway through his career, debuting with an adaptation of his stage performance in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in 1968. In later years, however, he worked increasingly in movies and more selectively onstage, appearing in high-profile films such as “Alien,” “The Fifth Element,” “Lord of the Rings” pics “The Fellowship of the Ring” and “The Return of the King” and “Hobbit” movies “An Unexpected Journey” and “The Battle of the Five Armies.” But his finest work was contained in independently made productions like Oscar best picture winner “Chariots of Fire,” which brought him a nomination as best supporting actor in 1982; “The Madness of King George”; “Joe Gould’s Secret”; “Big Night”; and “The Sweet Hereafter.” He also worked regularly on British television series such as “The Borrowers,” “Bells,” “Mr. and Mrs. Edgehill,” “We the Accused” and “Game Set and Match.” Holm was remarkably versatile and, despite his short stature, rarely limited in his selection of roles. He was very much an actor’s actor, too chameleon-like to have a strong star impact. In 1998, he received his knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II for his contribution to drama. Holm had been working as an actor for decades when he first achieved mainstream notice for his work as an android in 1979’s “Alien” and as the Olympic trainer Sam Mussabini in 1981’s “Chariots of Fire.” Over the next decade the roles became larger and more distinctive, including Napoleon in “Time Bandits,” Polonius in Zeffirelli’s “Hamlet” alongside Mel Gibson, Captain Fluellen in Kenneth Branagh’s “Henry V,” as well as turns in “Dreamchild,” “Brazil,” “Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes,” “Wetherby,” “Dance With a Stranger” and Woody Allen’s “Another Woman.” During the ’90s he had meaty starring roles in Steven Soderbergh’s “Kafka” and David Cronenberg’s “Naked Lunch” as well as in Nicholas Hytner’s “The Madness of King George,” Branagh’s “Frankenstein” and “The Fifth Element.” Holm turned in several outstanding performances in top independent movies including Stanley Tucci’s “Big Night” and “Joe Gould’s Secret” and, especially, in Atom Egoyan’s “The Sweet Hereafter,” where his performance as the pained lawyer futilely seeking redress in the wake of a Canadian town’s tragedy was “bottomless with its subtlety,” Roger Ebert said. He worked for Cronenberg again but was wasted in “eXistenZ.” The actor, who cut his teeth in the theater, still did stagework occasionally. Holm starred as Astrov in “Uncle Vanya” in 1979 and as King Lear in 1997. The latter brought him an Olivier award as best actor, and he repeated both performances on television, winning an Emmy for “Lear” in 1999. In 1993, he starred in a production of Pinter’s “Moonlight” onstage with wife Penelope Wilton. He returned to the role of Napoleon in 2001 film “The Emperor’s Clothes.” (He had first played Bonaparte in the 1972 TV series “Napoleon and Me,” then comically in “Time Bandits.”) In a generally negative review of the film, the New York Times said, “In a sly, deadpan performance, Mr. Holm does his best to realize the movie’s gentle comic vision.” In his 70s Holm continued to show up in high-profile films — none more high profile than the “Lord of the Rings” movies, in which he played Bilbo Baggins. He was a sadistic doctor in the Hughes brothers’ “From Hell,” with Johnny Depp, and played meteorologists in Roland Emmerich’s disaster epic “The Day After Tomorrow” and Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator.” But he was also one of the starring voices in the stylish animated film noir sci-fier “Renaissance” and the delightful animated feature “Ratatouille.” Holm made some other interesting choices in the 2000s, appearing in the indie comedy “Strangers With Candy”; as an outrageous psychoanalyst in “The Treatment”; and as David Ben Gurion, the first president of Israel, in Elie Chouraqui’s “O Jerusalem.” He returned to the role of Bilbo Baggins for two “Hobbit” films, “An Unexpected Journey” and “The Battle of the Five Armies.” Ian Holm Cuthbert was born in Goodmayes, England, and entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 1950, leaving in 1953 to do his military service. The following year he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-on-Avon and made his debut as a spear carrier in “Othello.” Holm made his West End debut in 1956’s “Love Affair” and toured Europe with Laurence Olivier in “Titus Andronicus,” rejoining the RSC in 1957 and breaking out in 1959 with his celebrated Puck in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and as the Fool in “King Lear.” He remained with the RSC until 1967, appearing in starring roles in “The Tempest” (as Ariel), “Richard III,” “Henry V” and “Henry IV, Part 1” and “Part 2.” In 1965 he appeared to great acclaim as Lenny in the original production of Pinter’s “The Homecoming”; he won a Tony when he repeated the role on Broadway in 1967 and played the role again in Pinter’s 1973 big-screen adaptation. In 1968 he made his film debut in “The Bofors Gun,” a British film that brought him a BAFTA Award for supporting actor. Thereafter, he appeared more regularly in movies and on television than onstage. Over the next few years, he had supporting roles in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “The Fixer,” “Oh! What a Lovely War,” “Nicholas and Alexandra” and as King John in “Robin and Marian.” Other assignments included “Young Winston,” “Juggernaut,” “Shout at the Devil” and, for television, “Les Miserables,” “The Man in the Iron Mask,” “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “Jesus of Nazareth.” For the American miniseries “Holocaust” and “Inside the Third Reich,” he played Heinrich Himmler and Joseph Goebbels, respectively. He won a second Emmy in 2001 for his roguish work opposite Judi Dench in HBO telepic “The Last of the Blonde Bombshells.” With wife Wilton he appeared in “The Borrowers” and “The Return of the Borrowers” for Brit TV, and he was one of an all-star cast of voices that contributed to the live-action version of “Animal Farm” that aired on TNT in the U.S. Holm also did a considerable amount of voiceover and narration work. He narrated the documentaries “Stalin,” “Elizabeth R: A Year in the Life of the Queen” and “Hiroshima: The Decision to Drop the Bomb”; “The Seas of Zanzibar” and “Skin Deep,” both for the Discovery Channel; and “Holocaust on Trial” for PBS. Holm was married four times, first to Lynn Mary Shaw. His second wife was film still photographer Sophie Baker. Their marriage ended in 1986. Holm married Wilton in 1991, and divorced in 2001. He is survived by his fourth wife, artist Sophie de Stempel, whom he married in 2003; three daughters, Jessica, Sarah-Jane, who did some film acting, and Melissa, a casting director; and two sons, Barnaby, who acted as a child, and Harry, a filmmaker who makes music videos. | |

@tangub, I never got any email from you at my email address. Which I explained and posted at this thread. And when I asked yujin on June 6 for your email address, through the PU email system, I never got a reply from yujin. I don't know if the PU system is wonky for me alone, since other members seem to use it with no problems. But that is why I not only sent yujin an email through the PU system, but also posted a copy of the email at this thread, hoping that yujin might have read what I posted, and responded by sending me your email address. Your not hearing from me was not from lack of trying. LOL. | |

Not really on topic of sites sharing content from other sites. But some sites are posting old content as new content. I'm not sure if the old content was previously posted or not at that site. But Stunning 18, for example, has been posting photo sets of models that were shot years ago as new photo sets Avril A, for example, has a photo set posted today, 2020-06-14, that was probably shot at least 5 years ago. Olya N, the same thing: her photo set, posted 2020-04-22, was probably shot 6 or more years ago. Both are very cute models, and if you're not familiar with them, you would think these were recently shot photo sets. | |

If you give a site a score of 100, you should give plenty of details backing up why you think it's such a great site. Along with mentioning that any cons are basically minor. And what those cons consist of. But a point score of 21 for Wraith gives you the right to score a site 100, if you feel it deserves it. I don't think I ever gave a score of 100, because the attitude from years ago was that no site deserved a score of 100. But I think the feeling has changed at the PU site. A lot of old-time members have suspended or disabled their accounts, and I don't think as much attention is being paid to the absolute value of a site's score. Just my thinking. Other PU members might want to keep the 100 score as the impossible dream, which no site really deserves. Whatever. | |

My memory is not great. But I think I joined the site, LA New Girl, a few years ago. I do remember that I was very impressed with the video with Erin. I think she only did 2 porn videos, or at least, that's all I've ever seen. One video was at LA New Girl, a second video was at a different site. There were other videos at the site that I enjoyed, but none that came close to the Erin video. But since that time, which was years ago, I'm sure they have added a lot of new material. I remember that all videos I saw followed the same script, with a guy (whose face your never see), talking a set piece about a new model coming to the set, he interviews her, talks her into sucking his cock, then having vaginal (and maybe anal) sex. Like I said, the Erin video was top quality, the model was extremely attractive. But that was the one I enjoyed the most. None of the other videos were quite so good. But that was at least 3 or 4 years ago. And the site must have added a lot of content since. I only joined once. Normally, I join networks, not single sites. Networks give you more bang for your buck, in general. Except for mega-sites like MetArt, Femjoy, MPL Studios, etc. Which are all worth joining. | |

I've been asking for the site to be listed for around 3 years now, at different times, on different threads of the sites to be listed. But so far, no action has been taken, that I'm aware of. The PU staff needs to update the latest thread of sites to be listed, on what the status is: has the site been contacted, has the site replied, what is the reply of the site, will the site be listed or not. The more sites that are listed at PU, the more money PU can make in referrals. So it only makes sense that the PU staff should be working actively on getting new sites listed. | |

Twitter removes 30,000 accounts linked to Russia, China and Turkey Fake and compromised accounts have been permanently taken down. Corinne Reichert June 11, 2020 3:05 p.m. PT The accounts violated Twitter's platform manipulation policy. Angela Lang/CNET Twitter has permanently removed 32,242 accounts that were found to be state-backed operations from China, Russia and Turkey. The accounts were suspended for violating the social media company's platform manipulation policy. It's publishing the accounts to its archive of foreign influence campaigns, Twitter said in a blog post published Thursday. Of those accounts, Twitter said 23,750 were linked with being part of a "core network" under a campaign by the People's Republic of China. Twitter also found another 150,000 "amplifier" accounts that were designed to boost numbers on the core accounts, but decided not to remove them due to most having "little to no follower counts." "This entire network was involved in a range of manipulative and coordinated activities," Twitter Safety said in a blog post. "They were ... continuing to push deceptive narratives about the political dynamics in Hong Kong." Around 1,100 accounts were linked with a campaign by Russia and to a state-backed website that spreads political propaganda, Twitter said. "Activities included promoting the United Russia party and attacking political dissidents," the blog post detailed. The Turkey-linked accounts numbered 7,340 and were a "collection of fake and compromised accounts ... being used to amplify political narratives favorable to the AK Parti, and demonstrated strong support for President Erdogan," according to Twitter. They were also being used to spread cryptocurrency-related spam.

The Porn Users and The Best Porn sites (sister sites, both owned/managed by the same company, along with Rabbit's Reviews) do not have a consistent policy about de-listing a site. Sometimes, when they de-list a site, they drop the site entirely. So a search for the site returns 0 hits. Other times, they might leave a notice that they no longer do business with the site. With no explanation. I would much prefer if the sites could leave a simple notice that: 1. They are no longer doing business with the site. 2. A short explanation of the reason. A legal, bullet-proof explanation, if possible, because no one wants to get sued. If the PU-related sites leave a notice that they are no longer doing business with a site, that gives PU members a heads-up that there is something wrong with the site. Deleting the de-listed site entirely, gives little hint there is something wrong with the de-listed site. Very occasionally, a site will be de-listed, then listed again. When it's brought to the attention of the PU staff that a site is de-listed, and they investigate, and decide that the site is OK to do business with. I remember at least one time that I saw that happen. I don't recall the specific site, or what the reason why the site was de-listed, and then re-listed. But leaving a notice that PU/TBP chooses not to do business with a site, at least gives PU members a heads-up there might be something wrong with the site. Instead of removing all mention of the site entirely from the PU/TBP sites. That would be my preference. | |

My take on that would be: if you have a high sex drive, it's more important to get off than who or what you're doing it with. You can fuck a watermelon, or an old woman who is normally un-attractive: doesn't matter. The point is to get off. And for some guys, maybe some women as well, each conquest counts as another scalp. Another score. A matter of pride, an accomplishment. So Rocco is just being his usual self, boasting of his accomplishments. | |

Text of email sent to yujin - PU Staff, through the PU system. Sent 06-06-20 08:34am Subject Can you send me tangub email address? Body I sent a private email to tangub on June 6. He posted in the thread: Porn Users Forum » Is it possible to disable your account by accident? that he didn't get the email. Also, he sent me an email (through the PU system, I assume) about 3 days ago, and I never got it. I do get emails from the PU site, notifying me that my reviews, replies, etc. are accepted/posted. So my email address is active and working for the PU site. But I would like to send tangub an email, and since the PU site email system does not work for me, could you send me tangub's email address? You can check the thread: Porn Users Forum » Is it possible to disable your account by accident? to verify that tangub and I are having a problem using the PU email system. He sent me an email, I did not get. I sent him an email through the PU site, and he responded that he did not get that email. I don't know what is causing the problem, since Wraith0711 uses the PU email with him, and it works for them. | |

Thanks for the prompt reply. When I check the PU email system, it shows that the email was sent to tangub. Or, at least, there is no error message posted after the email was sent. Maybe I can ask the PU staff for your private email address, and they can send it to me, since my email at PU is not working? I'll send it to yujin - PU Staff, and hope for a reply this Monday or later, since they don't work on the weekends. Thanks again, for the prompt response. | |

Count me a fool as well. I was disappointed when I saw that Homegirl has disabled her account. Not realizing that Homegirl was a guy, and already had a different alias (or more than one?) at the PU site. But live and learn. I thought he/she was a valuable contributor to the site. Not realizing she was a fake alias. Time to get over it, and move on. | |

A touching and funny tribute. The funny part is at the end, where the article says: In a 2016 Hollywood Reporter review of the documentary "Rocco," critic Boyd van Hoeij characterized the peculiar relationship between the cousins. "Gabriele Galetta, Rocco’s very similar-looking cousin who had a short-lived career as a porn performer that was cut short by erection-on-demand problems, now handles the camera duties on Siffredi’s films," wrote van Hoeij. "He also frequently comes up with crazy ideas for lead-ins to sex scenes, which more than occasionally causes friction between the two." "When Galetta seems only halfway through an explanation of a very complicated-sounding set-up, Rocco fires off a very astute: 'Yes, but when do they fuck?'" | |

My apologies. I never saw the email. And when I check my inbox, it's not there. It's not in my spam box. Not in my trash box. Normally, if I send an email and it is not delivered, I get a responding email message that that email was not delivered. But maybe the PU system works differently. Or is not working correctly. Anyway, I sent you an email through the PU system right now, giving you my email address, and apologizing that I didn't respond to your email, because I never saw it. Could you re-send the email, to my email address that I sent to you? And if you don't get the email I sent you, please post that you didn't get it, and we'll know the PU email system is not working, and not to depend on it. | |

I've posted several times asking if the PU staff could post a note saying: -Post all sites PU will not deal with. -Give some reason for the action (a simple, legal reason for the action, so PU does not get sued, which I assume is the reason PU does not give reasons for the action). There are a number of sites that PU decided to stop doing business with, that are no longer listed at PU. This does a disservice to the PU members, because it does not give us a heads up there might be a problem with the site. And it shouldn't be that hard to indicate a reason for not doing business with a site, that won't get PU sued. Why not tell PU members what the reason is? Instead of either deleting the site entirely, or giving an uninformative statement "We have stopped doing business with this site". Just sayin. | |

I guess I'm naive. I assume that most posters are honest, and that their profiles and posts are usually fine. I had no idea Homegirl was a fake profile and a guy. It kind of ruins my trust in the PU site. Which means I'm kind of slow. I thought I was trying to be helpful, posting a thread trying to get Homegirl back on the PU site. Could you state who Homegirl really was, or who tipped you the poster was a guy? Or send me an email through the PU email system, if you want to keep it private. PU is supposed to have ways to determine if there are multiple accounts under a single person, or other ways to determine fraud. But under the present administration, I doubt they are putting much effort into checking for fraud. Live and learn. Even if it's slow process at times. LOL. | |

I see that Homegirl's account has been disabled. She is a recent member. But one of the most active users at the PU site. With many recent reviews, posts, comments, whatever. Curious that her account is disabled, without her posting that she was thinking of leaving us. I know that she wanted some response to questions she had posted, and wanted to be upgraded to veteran status. She had submitted a large number of reviews, comments, replies, etc., which should have qualified her for veteran status. Except the rules (which I don't know if they still apply) state you need 5 points to go from newbie status to the next level (which I assume is veteran status). And points are no longer being given out for reviews. So anyone who is a newbie (a newbie is anyone with less than 5 points) is forced to remain a newbie. It would be a shame if Homegirl left because she was not awarded the points she should have been given. Her input will be missed. She was definitely one of the major contributors to the site since joining. Could the PU staff reach out to her, to ask her back? | |

Norway Reopening date: May 7 Norway’s 211 cinemas, with 438 screens, have been authorized to reopen from May 7 with a 50-person capacity, which will be increased to 200 people from June 15 if cases continue to drop. They were shut from March 12. Poland Reopening date: June 6 The fourth stage of Poland’s lifting of restrictions will see cinemas allowed to reopen from June 6, with gatherings of up to 50 people authorised. Portugal Reopening date: June 1 Cinemas will be allowed to reopen on June 1, with limited capacity.

Slovakia Reopening date: May 20 Slovakia has been reopening its public areas since April 22, with cinemas allowed to reopen from May 20. Slovenia Reopening date: May 18 Slovenia became the first European nation to call an end to its epidemic on May 14, with all shops and businesses allowed to open from May 18. Spain Reopening date: May 25-June 8 Under a four-phase plan announced on April 28, most businesses, including cinemas, should be able to open from May 25, in phase two. Phase three from June 8 could see an increase in the allowed capacity and opening of cinemas in malls. Any plan has to also be approved on a province level, with cinemas in major cities such as Madrid and Barcelona not expected to reopen before June 8. South Korea Reopening date: April 29 South Korean cinemas began to reopen over the four-day national holiday at the end of April. Sweden In line with the country-wide policy, cinemas in Sweden have not been instructed to close at any stage. The country’s largest exhibitor Filmstaden closed its venues (65% market share) on March 12 in line with the global policy of its owner AMC. However, some independent cinemas have remained open with social distancing measures in place. This did not bring substantial box office takings though, with just over $30,000 taken on the last weekend of April compared to around $840,000 on the equivalent weekend the previous year. Switzerland Reopening date: June 6 As the third phase of Switzerland’s reopening plan, cinemas can reopen from June 6, although this will be confirmed on May 27. UK Reopening date: July 4 (provisional date, England only) The UK government announced its exit strategy on May 10, indicating that cinemas could potentially reopen from July 4. Further detail is expected in the coming weeks. Ukraine Reopening date: June 10 As step three of the country’s five-step reopening plan, cinemas should be able to open from June 10. However, operators have asked local authorities to postpone reopening to July 1, as they believe they would not be able to effectively operate before then. US Reopening date: April 27 (Georgia); May 1 (Texas) Cinemas are reopening in the US on a state-by-state basis, with Georgia opening some from late April and Texas following suit on May 1 | |

Note: Not directly on the validity of a site score of 100. But relating to it. Does a site deserve a higher score if the site responds to PU reviews about the site? There used to be a few sites with webmasters who seemed to regularly read the reviews on their sites, and would reply to the reviews with points they agreed with, disagreed with (that they found errors in the review, for example). But that seems to be happening less and less. My guess is that the sites are cutting back on payments to personnel, and that the webmasters or customer service people have less time to read the reviews at PU. It was nice reading the comments from webmasters and customer service reps, because it showed the sites were interested in their customers. And the webmasters and customer service reps had the knowledge to back up their statements. But I've seen less participation from webmasters and customer service reps in the last few months. That's my impression, anyway. | |

For only $350, you can purchase a device that will protect you and your loved ones from the horrors of 5G radiation. This article does not mention the coronavirus, but I have heard from trusted sources that Anti-5G devices will automatically destroy most common viruses within a 100-yard radius. Do not delay. Send your money to this wonderful British company, that is saving lives throughout the world. We don't need a vaccine. This Anti-5G device will do it all. Note: Be sure to read the Consumers Report on this device, before sending in your money. Consumer Report is a non-profit and independent service since 1936 that tests and reports on many health care products. ------ ------ https://mobile.slashdot.org/story/20/05/...nds?catid=technology Slashdot A $350 'Anti-5G' Device Is Just a 128MB USB Stick, Teardown Finds (arstechnica.com) 150 Posted by BeauHD on Thursday May 28, 2020 @07:20PM from the USB-key-with-a-sticker-on-it dept. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Believers of 5G conspiracy theories have apparently been buying a $350 anti-5G USB key that -- not surprisingly -- appears to just be a regular USB stick with only 128MB of storage. As noted by the BBC today, the "5GBioShield" USB stick "was recommended by a member of Glastonbury Town Council's 5G Advisory Committee, which has called for an inquiry into 5G." The company that sells 5GBioShield claims it "is the result of the most advanced technology currently available for balancing and prevention of the devastating effects caused by non-natural electric waves, particularly (but not limited to) 5G, for all biological life forms." The product's website charges 283 British pounds for a single 5GBioShield, which converts to nearly $350. That's what it costs to get "protection for your home and family, thanks to the wearable holographic nano-layer catalyser, which can be worn or placed near to a smartphone or any other electrical, radiation or EMF emitting device." The USB stick apparently doesn't need to be plugged in to anything to work its magic. "It is always ON and working -- that's why we used quantum nano-layer technology," the company says in an FAQ. But what does the 5GBioShield actually consist of? The BBC pointed to a recent teardown by security company Pen Test Partners, which found that the device is just a USB stick with 128MB of storage. The company wrote: "When plugged in to our test machine we may have missed the bubble of 'quantum holographic catalyzer technology' appearing. The stick comes loaded with a 25 page PDF version of the material from 5GBioShield's website. It included a Q&A of distances for the "bubble" and how to know if it is working. It's an "always on" system apparently, is always working, powered or not, so no visual checks needed. A review of the stick's properties revealed nothing more than what you'd expect from a regular 128MB USB key. We weren't even sure that 128s are still in production!" The report says that the London Trading Standards has launched a probe to investigate this product. How will the company defend itself? BioShield Distribution Director Anna Grochowalska told the BBC, "We are in possession of a great deal of technical information, with plenty of back-up historical research," and "we are not authorized to fully disclose all this sensitive information to third parties, for obvious reasons." | |

These are the rules for the old raffle: (For historical purposes only.) https://www.pornusers.com/raffle.html The new raffle, which started a few months back, is held once a month. The prizes are: 1st place: $500 Amazon gift card 2nd place: $50 Amazon gift card 3rd place: $25 Amazon gift card Some people have complained the new raffle is not fair. That people are cheating, or that the outcome is biased in some way. But the PU staff maintain that the raffle outcome is random, and even post a page that shows the drawing for each winning position of the raffle. The basic rule for the new raffle is that each review (that is accepted and approved and whatever other thing is needed) is given 5 tickets for the monthly raffle. There are other ways to win tickets, but I'm not sure what they are. | |

I don't think I've ever given a site a score of 100. Even when I love a site, I usually give a maximum of 90+. That's because I've read many times at the PU site, from different PU members, that no site deserves a 100. So basically I went along with the group thinking. Hoping to escape criticism that my review was biased, or that I was a shill, or that my review was obviously flawed because I couldn't think straight. Having said that, as I get older, I begin to think, maybe they were right after all. How many sites are perfect? Or is perfection only allowed after you die and ascend to heaven? This is a discussion that needs the input of our spiritual leaders, such as Tom D Admin. Tom D, will you give us some input? | |

Just a side note. I'm a member of Amazon Prime. I got an email today, it looked really good. Except that it said the credit card I had selected to pay my membership fee had expired. And that I needed to send them new information about what credit card to pay for the Prime membership, or my membership would be suspended. I called Amazon, they said the email was fake. I don't remember the technical term, spishing or something. But the email really looked good. I'm pasting the fake email below: ----- ----- Amazon To:ma-ti2oncw28@mail.com Bcc: My email address(which I deleted from this copy) Mon, May 25 at 10:47 AM Dear customer, Your Amazon Prime Membership is set to renew on May 25, 2020. However, we've noticed that the card associated with your Prime membership is no longer valid. To update the default card or choose a new one for your membership, Please find the document attached and follow the on-screen instructions. To prevent interruption of your benefits, we will try charging other active cards associated with your Amazon account if we can't charge your default card. If we can't process the charge for your membership fee, your Amazon Prime benefits will be suspended. Sincerely, The Amazon Prime Team | |
