It's been a while since I was a member of Hegre, but I would think that both Hegre and MPL are firmly in the softcore category. Even if there were a tiny percentage of videos/photosets featuring cunnilingus, the vast majority of photosets/videos are strictly softcore. And met-art would be softcore as well, even if there is implied lesbian activity in some of the photosets/videos. Pat362 wrote: "If you have one or more performer in the scene and there is kissing, breast fondling or contact with genitals then this is at minimum a midcore type of scene." I disagree. Look at the "lesbian" photosets at met-art. There is slight to almost non-existent breast fondling or contact with genitals. And I believe most people at PU viewing such photosets would classify the photosets/videos as strictly softcore, and far too tame to be considered midcore or hardcore. My idea is that the "heat" or sexual activity of the model/models involved should determine whether the photoset/video should be considered softcore, midcore, hardcore. Slight contact of breast/groin/buttocks would not usually be midcore or hardcore, but part of softcore. Maybe someone should check to see how motion pictures determine the rating, not based on language or drugs or whatever, but on the explicitness of the sexual activity. That might provide a clearer definition/standard for softcore/midcore/hardcore. Am I skewing my opinions by trying to use the PU members as a body of judges? In a way, I believe the average PU member is far more hardcore than the general population. But at the same time, the purpose of the guidelines is to provide a guide for PU members, for people like the PU members who will be searching for porn. In theory, at least, the general population is not the audience for these guidelines; the target audience is the PU members and people like them who are active consumers of porn.

Is that jealousy speaking, because Arnold chose to make his home in the Golden State? Arnold came to this country a penniless immigrant, and through hard work and the magic of the Hollywood movie kingdom, Arnold became a multi-millionaire, married into the Kennedy family to give it new blood, and led California into massive bankruptcy. What better man to lead the entire nation as our beloved President? Let us gather to change the Constitution to allow this humble immigrant the right to bear arms and terminate all foreign evils and lead us all into an era of love, prosperity, and high-definition, high-explosive 3D blockbusters.

There would be some value in adopting clear lines of separation between softcore, midcore, and hardcore. But getting the porn sites (of which there are probably hundreds of thousands of different sites, since porn is one of the most popular, downloaded/viewed categories) to agree to follow those guidelines would be difficult to next to impossible. Gettng PU/TBP to follow those guidelines would be more easily achieved. But I don't know how many PU members really want or need that classification/clarity. Most of us, I believe, are more easy-going, and try to get along by figuring out whether a site is softcore, or hardcore, or somewhere in-between. You make a decision that masturbation is softcore, midcore, or hardcore, and there will always be plenty of people who will disagree with that decision, no matter which category you put masturbation into. And the same holds true for most of the "blurry" edges of softcore, midcore, hardcore. Some people would probably argue that if the male penis is shown, that should properly be called hardcore. (For some reason, female nudity is much more acceptable and admired than male nudity). Some people would also argue that if the female vagina is gaping open, that would also be classified as hardcore. Remember, that back in the 1960s, the female breasts and buttocks could be pictured in nude magazines, but pictures of pubic hair was illegal (at least in the United States). And naked pictures of a vagina without pubic hair would have definitely been illegal and considered obscene. For the purists, and some of the PU members, it would be helpful to have a softcore, midcore, hardcore guideline. But for me, if I am able to find some porn that I find erotic, I am more than happy: I mainly go for softcore, but if I could find some erotic harcore, I wouldn't mind at all. I do tend to ramble, don't I?  | |

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger comes out in support of fellow actor Mel Gibson. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Schwarzenegger compares Mel Gibson to oil leak Wed Jul 21, 7:49 pm ET SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Terminator is taking a few shots at the Road Warrior. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wise-cracked about Mel Gibson on Wednesday, comparing him to the Gulf of Mexico oil leak. Schwarzenegger told a group of utility commissioners in Sacramento that while BP appears to have contained its well, "no one has figured out how to contain Mel Gibson." A celebrity website has posted audio recordings of what it says are Gibson's profanity-laced tirades against his ex-girlfriend. Schwarzenegger also told participants to turn off their cell phones "because we are expecting a call from him." Gibson spokesman Alan Nierob says he is happy to hear that Schwarzenegger is maintaining a sense of humor, adding, "He's obviously paving the way for a return to showbiz." | |

This movie doesn't appear to be my cup of tea. And I'm not really sure that a gay zombie movie is life-affirming. But Australia has banned a softcore "gay zombie porn" movie from playing at an Australian film festival. On second thought, if we are facing an invasion of gay zombies in Los Angeles, maybe we should ban them from our fair city too. I don't mind gay, but gay zombies??? ==================================================== Yahoo! Movies Movie News & Gossip Gay zombie movie banned by Australian censors (Reuters) Source: Reuters 3 hours, 22 minutes ago TORONTO (Hollywood Reporter) - "L.A. Zombie," a Canadian indie film described by the Melbourne International Film Festival as "gay zombie porn," has been denied an Australian festival berth by local censors. The Australian Film Classification Board concluded that implied sex with corpses by an alien zombie in Los Angeles, breached local taste standards. "L.A. Zombie" will receive a world premiere at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland on August 5, before its North American bow at the Toronto festival in September, according to the film's producers. It was to have screened in Melbourne on August 7 and 8. Director Bruce LaBruce said the censors viewed only the softcore version of his film, "which features no explicit anally penetrative sex." LaBruce has built a directorial career shooting hardcore pornography that aims to produce a return for financiers, along with a second softcore version with auteur touches that can screen on the festival circuit to critical acclaim. The hardcore version of "L.A. Zombie" will be released separately on Halloween after the softcore version plays the international festival circuit. "Although apparently the Australian Classification Board has no problem passing all manner of mainstream torture porn movies which feature, amongst other things, the rape and dismemberment of women, it's interesting that they have no stomach for a movie that reaffirms life," LaBruce said in a statement.

I didn't get that impression at all. To me, it sounds like she is saying she had a very unhappy childhood, and that that continued until she was into her late teens and early twenties. But she also sounds like she is really taking control of her life, and that she is a highly intelligent, self-aware person: "I’m an adult now and I make these choices because I’m doing what’s best for me. It’s not because I’m programmed by some trauma, it’s because I’m doing the best I can to make my life the best it can be." She's going to college, evidently to get a degree to help herself get a better job. Her blog, writing, letters, email, whatever --if actually honest and not fake, made-up bullshit -- could easily be put together into a book, that might have decent sales. And like I said before, this seems to be an intelligent, capable person who could be a lawyer or speaker. I've only read her one email, and this one other piece by her, but she really impresses me with her honesty and intelligence and the clarity of her thoughts. | |

The critics/reviewers are writing about The Sorcerer's Apprentice as a box office disappointment. "The film looks likely to register just $60 million-$70 million domestically, suggesting a possible corporate write-off of up to $100 million unless the release dramatically overperforms overseas." Production cost was at least $160 million, and Disney was hoping for a franchise like National Treasure or Pirates of the Caribbean. Marketing for Sorcerer's was around $50 million. Mega-star producer Jerry Bruckheimer has had four major disappointments in his last four times out: Sorcerer's Apprentice The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time G-Force Confessions of a Shopaholic But he is a major producer for both theatrical movies and for TV. | |

I am more efficient than that. I, at least, have watched a tiny part of my collection more than once. But the vast majority of my porn collection was only downloaded, and then never viewed again. So I am really a hoarder instead of a watcher. Sounds crazy, but since when does life make sense anyway?  | |

Easier said than done. We don't think we are addicted to porn, or to searching for and downloading new porn. But it wouldn't be easy to stop looking for new porn to add to our collections. It would be like giving up cigarettes, or giving up alcohol. I gave up smoking many times during 30+ years, before I was finally able to quit entirely. | |

Inception made over $21 million on Friday; Sorcerer's Apprentice's made $5 million. So Inception will be a box office star, with a possible $60 million three-day opening weekend. And Sorcerer's Apprentice will be a box office bomb, with a probable three-day opening weekend around $15 million. | |

How many post regularly on a monthly basis at PU? I'd guess 40 or less. How many post on an irregular basis, but at least once each month, at PU? I'd guess maybe 100 or less. There are "oldies" that were formerly heavy posters, that drop off the screen. And there are "newbies" that come onto the screen, some with heavy postings, others with a few postings, and then most of those fade into an occasional poster or just fade away for months or years at a time. There aren't many members who actively post each month. Most of the members who visit the site do so in "lurking" mode. Edit: But with fewer posters, that gives more prominence to posters like RagingBuddhist, whose opinions would stand out anyway. Edit02: That avatar increases the visibility of his posts. It's kind of hard to ignore. Edited on Jul 10, 2010, 08:21am | |

My guess is that PU considers all accounts active that have not been disabled/expelled/delisted/whatever. Based on that guess, I am guessing that posting, or even visiting PU, is not required for PU to consider an account as active. | |

Accounting at the movies (and TV) Disney is a billion dollar corporation, but they never learned to keep a set a books. Or maybe the problem is they keep too many books: one for employee bonuses, one for business partners, one for shareholders, one for the IRS, etc. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Jury says Disney owes 'Millionaire' makers $269.2M AP By SUE MANNING, Associated Press Writer Sue Manning, Associated Press Writer – Wed Jul 7, 5:55 pm ET LOS ANGELES – A federal jury on Wednesday awarded $269.2 million in damages to the creators of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" because they didn't get their fair share of profits from the popular Walt Disney Co. television game show. The jury of five women and four men returned a unanimous verdict agreeing with a British TV production company, the London-based Celador International, which accused Walt Disney of using creative accounting to hide profits. The trial was held before Judge Virginia Phillips in U.S. District Court in Riverside, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles. "We believe this verdict is fundamentally wrong and will aggressively seek to have it reversed," Disney said in a statement. Disney attorneys did not return calls for additional comment. Lead Celador attorney Roman Silberfeld said the verdict form given to jurors was 18 pages long and included 40 or 50 questions, and "every one came out in Celador's favor, 9-0 on every question." The jury awarded $260 million in license fees and $9.2 million for merchandising claims, which were made based on $70 million in sales of a home edition of the game show. Celador had asked for a minimum of $202 million and a maximum of $395 million, Silberfeld said. "At a time when (Disney-owned) ABC was ranked last among the networks and desperately needed a hit, it entered into an agreement with Celador to put 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' on the air and share the profits of success — if there was success — with Celador 50-50. Every witness testified that was the deal," Silberfeld said. During four weeks of testimony, Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger took the stand and e-mails from former Disney boss Michael Eisner about his enthusiasm for the show were admitted into evidence. The show, which was first hosted by Regis Philbin, became very successful for ABC in 1999 and 2000, ranking in the top 10 shows across the country at least four times that season, Silberfeld said. It put the network in first place, allowing them to charge more in ad revenues, he said, but "ABC and a series of affiliated companies entered into a series of agreements that were solely intended to show 'Millionaire' never showed a profit." "If you look at an accounting statement today, after 10 years on the air, it says it has lost money every year and is $75 million in the red," the attorney said. Silberfeld said he expected post-trial maneuvers and that an appeal would take a couple of years. The show was on the air from August 1999 to May 2002. It came back in syndication in fall 2002 and has been on the air since. Celador sought profits from the show from August of 1999 through the day the original complaint was filed in May 2004, Silberfeld said. An auditing of books and records is continuing, he added. | |

Since this woman "expert" admits to attending porn conferences, as well as viewing pornography extensively, it is clear that she herself is infected with the porn disease, and she should be locked away in a nutso wing until she can be cleansed of her porno filth. Let us pray for her soul, but realize that only with tough love and punishment for her impure thoughts and actions can she hope to be purified. How much shit will we have to listen to from this tainted "expert"? | |

I've only been to one 3D movie since I was very young. The movie was How To Train Your Dragon. A nice movie, but I found it very annoying to wear the 3D glasses, and it will be many years before I go to another 3D movie (the extra cost for the ticket, plus the annoyance of wearing the 3D glasses). I guess I am in the minority, because most people don't seem to complain about problems with wearing 3D glasses. And when I put the 3D glasses on that I got from the movie theater to look at a 3D photo on my computer, I found the same eye strain that I experienced at the movies. So the eye strain/annoyance was from the 3D glasses, and not just from the 3D movie itself. | |

Mel Gibson still having problems with anger management? There are reports of a recorded rant by Mel Gibson where Mel Gibson says to his former girlfriend: "You look like a f****** pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n******, it will be your fault," Gibson allegedly said in a recording. Gibson also reportedly called Grigorieva a "c***" and a "wh***," the sites both reported. Additionally, Radar claimed Gibson told his ex, "I am going to come and burn the f***ing house down." Grigorieva and Gibson are currently locked in a heated custody battle over their daughter Lucia, who is just 7 months old. TMZ reported that audio tapes of Gibson's alleged rant have been turned into the court, where they remain sealed. It is unclear if a tape, perhaps recorded without the other person's knowledge, would be admissible in court. If the reports are true, it sounds like Mel Gibson has more than just anger management issues. Maybe he's got alcohol-related problems, as well, which led to his arrest and massive bad publicity for his anti-Semitic rant 4 years ago. | |

turboshaft, you will need to get the teens to sign a waiver stating they are of legal age, and are consenting to some type of relationship with you. That should protect you against showing "girl porn" to unprotected females. | |

Eclipse (the 3rd movie in the Twilight series of vampires and werewolves) took in $30 million at its Wednesday midnight showings. This gives the movie a strong shot at opening at #1 or #2 for the weekend. Fans of the series were waiting in line at some theaters starting at 3 pm or earlier for the midnight showing. Some estimates are that Eclipse will earn $200+ million in its first five days (Wednesday thru Sunday), setting a new box office record. Even though the core fan base is teen girls, the book and movie franchises are a world-wide phenomenon. I plan on waiting for the DVD. I saw the first two movies in this series on DVD, thought they were boring. But I'm not a teen girl. But pre-teen girls and older women are also into this series. I'm not sure how many guys are into this series. Especially the guys at PU. Even though I have heard the Twilight series referred to as "girl porn": no explicit sex, heightened emotions, romantic male characters. Actually, though, even girl porn is starting to expand its borders, and allow at least some explicit sex. Many sub-genres of girl porn, that never allowed more than a kiss, now allow groping and actual sexual acts to occur, even when the hero and heroine are not even married. Heaven forbid! | |

I've heard you can catch STD sitting on a dirty toilet seat. But that's the first time I heard you can catch "being gay" by sitting next to one on a bus. Have there been a lot of doctors who have studied this, that can best tell us how to be "better safe than sorry"? Using the pre-cut paper forms at a public restroom might help with the toilet seat. But what do you use on a bus? I'm afraid that Khan will be responsible for any nightmares I'm going to have tonight. | |

I just tried to log on to my public library account and got the following message: "The library catalog is currently unvailable due to an unscheduled hardware failure. We are currently working on the system and will make the system available as soon as possible." My question is which is better: unscheduled hardware failure, or a scheduled hardware failure? Since I'm not a computer expert, I can tell when my computer is giving me problems, but how can I tell if the problems are scheduled? And who is doing the scheduling? Is Bill Gates the culprit, that I should be cussing out and pointing a finger at? Not only is the hardware a failure, but the computer mis-spelled the word "unvailable". Can't our public money buy computers that are more reliable and also better spellers? | |

I think that's a big factor in the psychology of how we interact and enjoy movies, where the actor is a fantasy figure that has a glamorized, fantastical life. But when the real life of the actor conflicts with our image of the star, it can ruin or damage his career. And that's what happened to Tom Cruise, unfortunately.

Tom Cruise hasn't had a major hit in years. The last time he starred in a hit was the Mission Impossible 3 movie, I believe. And even though that was a hit, I think it was also a box office disappointment, because that was around the time of his couch jumping incident, and when Viacom (Paramount) announced it was dumping him. Unfortunately, his new movie, Knight and Day, appears to be a major box office disappointment, based on the first two days of box office results. Cruise is still more popular than Kevin Costner, but neither one is as big box office as he used to be. | |

Sloppy seconds doesn't sound appealing. Actually, firsties doesn't sound that great either. Many of the really attractive photos of the "dates" at these sites are just recycled photos of lovely models. I seriously doubt the original models are really available. | |

For a celebration, how about free drinks on the house for all registered PU members? And for all PU members who have 5 or more points, how about a ticket for 1 free escort date, with the model of his/her choice? Those are 2 great suggestions for a celebration. | |

I would be curious to know how many of the registered users are active, and how active are they? I'm assuming that only a small fraction of that 10,000 registered users are active in the sense that they post reviews, comments, or post on the forum threads. Because while the specific posters sometimes change over time, there are a very limited number of actual posters in any one week or month. Certainly nowhere near 10,000. More like 100 or less, I think. But maybe it's the vast silent majority that somehow controls PU. Is it the silent majority that contributes the overwhelming number of paid memberships that help to keep PU alive? | |

I don't think porn has a lot to do with fertility. I also don't think that there is a single "universal" type of woman that most guys, especially the ones on PU, would be attracted to. Individual tastes differ. Reading the reviews and comments and posts at PU shows there is a massive difference of opinion on what turns people on, and the ideal type of woman changes from one PU member to another. Or maybe I should say the ideal "fantasy" woman that each PU member likes to view or see in action. Part of the reason why PU is successful is because the PU members know that other members have different opinions, and can accept that. Instead of flaming or shooting down anyone who doesn't agree with their own individual tastes and opinions. Edited on Jun 20, 2010, 04:29pm | |

When you pay for a site membership, you are paying for access to that site's contents. And it's normal to expect to be able to access the contents in a simple, easy way. If the site is hard to navigate, or the site has Internet connection problems or other problems, I believe you are not getting your money's worth. Why pay for poor site contents, or poor site navigation, or poor access to a site that has intermittent connection problems? Find a better site that's worth your money. And let other PU members know about the site problems, so they can make up their own minds whether the site is worth paying for. I don't believe I am paying for the site contents, irrespective of easy access to those contents. I believe I am paying in expectation of both the contents and easy access to those contents. And I believe it is legitimate to complain about a site that fails to consistently deliver good contents and good access to those contents. If a site has financial problems, which are causing the site to have problems, that might be an explanation why the site has problems, but why should we, as consumers, have to pay for access to a site with problems? In a business sense, even though we are consumers, we should avoid those sites with problems, and focus on the sites with good contents and good service. Edit: So basically, I agree with RagingBuddhist. Edited on Jun 20, 2010, 04:12pm | |

Sometimes clearing the cache of the browser you are using will allow you to load a page properly. That's the easiest possible solution to that problem. | |

I'm not a member of that site. But when I use the link at PU, the site preview/intro page loads easily for me. So I don't know if that was just a temporary site problem, or a problem with your computer, or what. In the past, using a different computer, I sometimes had a problem loading pages from different sites. But it usually turned out to be a problem with my computer (hardware or software conflict), and not a site problem. | |

The new Avengers movie that will be coming out is not based on the old TV series, but on some property from Marvel. So Uma and Ralph will not be making an appearance, unless it's by pure chance. As for guessing box office profits, I gave up on that game ages ago. When I watch a movie, I have no idea how much box office it will do until I read about it on the Internet. How much I personally like a movie has 0 correlation with the movie's box office. | |

OK, for those who have been disappointed with this year's movie release schedule, there is still hope. I just read an article saying that 2011 year will be strong. So all you have to do is hold your breath until 2011 (and maybe saving your pennies to pay for any movie ticket price increases), and then it's BACK TO THE MOVIES! (Actually, I've been watching a lot of DVDs lately, getting them from redbox, for $1 each (plus tax). Anyhow, a partial listing of movies coming out in 2011: "Thor," "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," "Captain America: The First Avenger," "Super 8," "Green Lantern," "X-Men: First Class," "Rise of the Apes," "Transformers 3," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" and "Cowboys & Aliens." And 2012 should be even stronger: "Battleship," "Men in Black 3," the "Spider-Man" reboot, "Star Trek 2," "The Avengers", "Batman 3." | |

My understanding is that she-males (or whatever other term you want to use for this type of individual) is not biologically a hermaphrodite. A true hermaphrodite would have the sex organs of both the male and the female. She-males are basically males who have been changed by plastic surgery to have female-type breasts. But they are not able to bear children. I'm guessing that a true hermaphrodite could father a child, and also act as a female to bear a child. That is if the hermaphrodite was sexually mature in both the male and female organs. But I'm certainly no expert on this. Even though there are sex change operations, that make a female appear as a male, or a male appear as a female, we are not yet at the stage where the changed "female" can bear a child, or the changed "male" sire a child. >>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<< From Wikipedia: Hermaphrodite In biology, a hermaphrodite is an animal or plant that has reproductive organs normally associated with both male and female sexes.[1] . Many taxonomic groups of animals (mostly invertebrates), do not have separate sexes. In these groups, hermaphroditism is a normal condition, enabling a form of sexual reproduction in which both partners can act as the "female" or "male". For example, the great majority of pulmonate snails, opisthobranch snails and slugs are hermaphrodites. Hermaphroditism is also found in some fish, and to a lesser degree in other vertebrates. Most plants are also hermaphrodites. Historically, the term hermaphrodite has also been used to describe ambiguous genitalia and gonadal mosaicism in individuals of gonochoristic species, especially human beings. The word hermaphrodite entered the English lexicon in the 15th century, derived from the Greek Hermaphroditos.[2] Recently, the word "intersex" has come into preferred usage, since the word "hermaphrodite" is considered to be misleading and stigmatizing.[3] | |

The cam shows at Met were a really nice bonus. I didn't appreciate all the audience members, but in the main, the audience was OK. Not as friendly as the members at PU, tho. But the girls were very nice, as well. Some of them were really friendly, and put on a nice show. It didn't seem like the cold "professional" style cam show, or strip show. And it was basically a soft-core presentation that I often enjoyed. (I doubt that many people got off on these shows. It was almost more like a friendly family gathering where you got to see some nudity. Lol.) | |

Their "updates" preview section is not really an updates section. Instead, after the first two pages of thumbnail covers of photo sets (that are undated), the rest of the updates pages are an alphabetical listing, by model, of thumbnail covers of past photo sets. The site used to be exclusively the work of photographer Thierry Murrell, who has contributed to Met-art. But now glam deluxe implies other photographers are contributing as well. But because of the malware issue, and because it looks like most of the site contents is really from a while back, when I was still a member, I will give this site a miss. | |

When you do a search for Glam Deluxe at PU, you get no results. I found a link to Glam Deluxe at PU, but what is returned is an error message: "Unfortunately the site you're trying to reach is currently in-active or no longer exists." glamdeluxe.com URL still works, and there is a sign-up page using CCBill that will accept membership. So I am wondering if the site has stopped updating, or what? There should be a simple way to find out if a site is actively updating or not, but looking at the glam deluxe preview pages, the "updates" are not dated, the content photosets and videos are not dated. It's been a while since I was a member of this site. So I can't tell from looking at the "updates" section whether this site has stopped updating. I would guess that the older content is still available, because CCBill is a reputable billing company, and they would refund your membership fees if you pay for a site that has no content. The site itself advertises: "3 fresh updates every week". But many sites advertise something, and it turns out to be wrong. Glam deluxe is/was not a great site. But they had some lovely models, and the photography was crisp, and clear and very high quality. A softcore teen glam site. Nice photosets. Any recent members of that site care to comment? Or anyone else have any ideas on how to check if a site is still active, or is still actively updating? | |

To put it simply, this thread is not talking about female masturbation, and it's not talking about female sexual excitement. This thread is talking about a female putting on an erotic act that is supposed to get off the male audience. And graymane1777, the thread author, wants the female to be fully exposed to his view, without her moving around too much (into different positions) so he can enjoy the buildup to his climax. Like I said in my first post on this thread, I was not clear on the subject of this thread. But I had plenty of company. | |

This article shows, in a simple way, how confusing (and apparently unethical) movie financing can get, as practiced by some of the industry players. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< http://movies.yahoo.com/news/usmovies.th...transit-sold-auction Troubled 'Back Water Transit' sold at auction Source: The Hollywood Reporter Fri Jun 11, 2010, 6:03 pm EDT The troubled history of the unreleased thriller "Black Water Transit" took another twist on Friday when ownership of the movie valued in legal papers at $26 million was sold for a $2 million credit in a foreclosure auction opposed by a lender and the federal bankruptcy court trustee overseeing five companies controlled by embattled financier David Bergstein. The movie was sold at an auction in a west L.A. law office by Library Asset Acquisition Company (LAAC), whose ownership is confidential, but believed to be Bergstein and sometime partner Ronald Tutor, the construction company executive who is backing a Bergstein advised $650 million bid for Miramax. The buyer was a newly formed company called Black Water Transit Acquisition Company whose ownership is as murky as the plot of the movie, but appears to be Bergstein and Tutor. In the notice of the sale, buyers were told to contact Bergstein's lawyer Ray Reyes, who also signed papers on behalf of the buyer. Reyes told THR the identify of the seller and buyer was confidential. Bergstein has a history of buying properties out of foreclosure, even when it has involved his own companies, for a fraction of the real value, having eliminated all legal and debt obligations through the sale process. He is then free to re-sell or market the movie without paying lenders, mortgage holders or others. LAAC was apparently created by Bergstein and Tutor after they made a partial $45 million payment earlier this year on a debt owned to bankrupt New York hedge fund D.B. Zwirn (who claimed to be owed over $100 million). Tutor previously confirmed to THR he put up that $45 million. Since LAAC was technically a lender, they were able to bid $2 million Friday as a "credit," which means they took it off what they were owed without actually paying any cash. LAAC then transferred ownership of Black Water Transit to the new entity. There is also another legal entanglement. Both the sale and purchase involved Aramid Entertainment Fund, which made loans toward the production of the movie, but is now involved in litigation with Bergstein, Tutor and related entities. Aramid strongly objected to the sale of BWT because they said their rights were not being protected and that the sale would violate the bankruptcy laws, because five companies controlled by Bergstein are the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy action. Aramid has been one of the prime movers among the creditors bringing that action in federal court in Los Angeles. A lawyer for interim bankruptcy court trustee Ronald Durkin also strongly opposed the foreclosure sale Friday because he had not been consulted or given approval. Jeffrey Garfinke, an attorney with Buchalter Nemer, who was the agent handling the foreclosure sale, said on the record Friday that it was the opinion of his clients (LAAC) the sale had nothing to do with the bankruptcy action. He called the objections by Durkin "untenable, unsupportable and frankly idiotic." An attorney for Aramid, Eric Harbert of Stroock & Stroock, attended and noted the objections of his client, who he said reserved all their legal rights to challenge the sale later. Also attending was David Ahdoot, an attorney representing SAG, the DGA and WGA, who also objected to the sale and reserved legal rights to file a challenge. Ahdoot referred all questions to the guilds, whose spokesman declined comment. There were no other bidders for the movie, a crime drama based on a novel by Carsten Stroud, directed by Tony Kaye ("American History X"  and starring Laurence Fishburne, Stephen Dorff, Brittany Snow and Karl Urban. | |

For those interested in the business side of movies, there is an article on what it costs to market a major Hollywood movie. There were some comments touching on this subject in this thread before, and here is a more complete post on why it costs 30+ million for prints-and-advertising spending. It would be more clear if they broke the prints-and-advertising spend down into prints spend, and advertising spend, but evidently the normal way to report costs is to lump prints and advertising costs together. The article can be found at: http://movies.yahoo.com/news/usmovies.th...vie-marketing-matter Quote: Disney's $200 million production "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," which has raked in $63 million domestically to date against a prints-and-advertising spend stateside of $75 million. So Prince of Persia cost $200 million to make, not counting prints and advertising spending. Then Disney (the producer of Prince of Persia) spent an additional $75 million for U.S. (and Canada, as well, I am guessing, even though the article says "stateside", which would refer specifically to the U.S.) prints and advertising. Normally, the U.S. and Canada are lumped together when reporting box office results, so I am assuming that the prints-and-advertising costs would also lump the U.S. and Canada together. But even this apparently simple article can be confusing. In one of the tables, it shows: negative costs p&a costs average negative cost average p&a cost I don't know what the negative cost is referring to. P&A refers to prints and advertising. So what is the separate cost of the negative? You need to send a separate print to each theater that is showing the movie. But what the heck do they mean by negative costs? Spending $6.4 billion (that is $6,400 million) on negative costs, and then spending another $3.6 billion on P&A, for 2009 by the major studios, means there is a ton of money being spent on these movies. But I don't know what the heck they mean by negative costs. Why can't they explain their terminology at the bottom of the article, so the outside reader can understand what the f_ they are writing about? Negative costs must refer to production costs. But why they call it negative costs, and then talk about production costs, makes it seem confusing. Then again, Hollywood is famous for their tricky accounting, where they hide costs and profits from everyone except the insiders, anyway. Edited on Jun 12, 2010, 01:22am | |

Sort of off topic: Buy this new TV and you won't have to go to the movies any more: You can watch them in your own home. Also, after buying this TV, you won't be able to afford the ticket price of any movies, anyway. No price has yet been set, but the probable price is well north of $100,000. >>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<< Panasonic rolls out 'world’s largest' full HD 3D plasma display at 152" By Rachel King | June 10, 2010 Panasonic has taken large format HDTVs to a completely new level with the launch of the 152-inch TH-152UX1 full HD 3D plasma display. The TH-152UX1 boasts a massive 4K x 2K (4,096 x 2,160) resolution and 17:9 aspect ratio, promising smooth playback in either 2D or 3D form - and even movies recorded in 24p (i.e. on film - remember when they did that?). While these screens are obviously targeted towards large enterprises and government agencies, can you imagine have one of these at home? You’d never have to go to a movie theater ever again. In fact, you could probably just open up your own theater in your living room and charge your friends every time they come over. This might become necessary as these big screens will cost small fortunes. The TH-152UX1 should be available in January 2011, although Panasonic has neglected define a price. But judging on the prices of the two other screens being launched this December, you might have to sell a kidney as the 103-inch TH-103VX200U and 85-inch TH-85VX200U screen will cost $65,000 and $45,000, respectively. Rachel King is a freelance journalist based in New York City and San Francisco. | |

I Feel Myself is the best site I've seen for solo female masturbation. I haven't looked at any sites for solo male masturbation. Maybe I'll get around to that before I die. Or not. | |

I've seen some nice solo masturbation clips. Also have seen some nice girl-girl clips. But the hottest scenes I've seen are boy-girl clips. Probably because that's the main focus of porn, so there's the most produced, and out of that mass of crap, some of the stuff can actually be good. The hottest clips I've seen, where the girl is actually getting it on and more, are the Pierre Woodman clips. There's a ton of porn where the excitement is almost totally fake. I don't care for fake moans and groans, and stupid dialog that is supposed to show the girl is really excited, and it's complete bullshit. I'm not really sure what the point of your post is. But my answer is hopefully related to what you are talking about. Then again, I tend to ramble a lot myself. | |

In the Woodman casting series, there is almost always an interview with the model shown. That interview takes place before any sex. And in the interview, they ask the age of the girl, and often show someone checking some document (passport or something) to verify the age the model says she is. So if this is a staged performance, where the model and Woodman or whoever is doing the interview and sex have rehearsed what is shown on video, it is a very convincing performance that appears spontaneous and natural and real. I really doubt these girls are such accomplished actresses that they could give the performances they are giving. If they were that good as actresses, then I really believe they would have gone into making non-porn films and we would be seeing a lot more of them than in just porno. But some of these models (that appeared in Woodman porn clips) have gone on to make a career in non-porn modelling, as well as some of them becoming major porn stars. But I haven't really heard of any of them going on to make a major career in non-porn acting. But give them time, and maybe one will. | |
