I have a 23" monitor - I definitely prefer to look at older material in its original form. ALS does their remastered stuff and it usually looks like shit to me at the high res setting, looks much better smaller, so that's what I do. | |

I suppose this could have been a poll question, but for whatever reason, I decided to plop it in the forum. I was wondering how many people go deep into the archives with sites that they join versus looking at the newest stuff. I've got to say that there are many sites that I have been a member of where I have not plumbed much of the archives at all. I look at the updates and recent posts of new material and don't get very far into the depth of the site during my membership. There are other sites - and this seems to be with solo-girl sites more than with other sites - where I'll be very interested in the archives. I think it has something to do with the fact that with solo-girl sites, it's easier to get a handle on the best period for the model - there is an ebb and flow to everything - and any solo-girl model that I'm interested in has periods when she looked absolutely stunning and periods when she didn't look quite as stunning or wasn't using the best photographer or got a shitty haircut when she hooked up for a site - which might affect dozens of sets. It's harder to do that with a site like 1-by-day for me. | |

Debi Diamond has a new DVD company making fem-dom vids - women dominating guys, including with strap-ons. It's a niche with some popularity these days - along with other kookie stuff like she-males. I haven't seen Erica Campbell's vid that you described. I was never the biggest fan of hers. Jenna Haze did a masturbation tease vid where she was being really bitchy - showing herself and stripping out of a tiny bikini, saying all this stuff about "you love this don't you, you have your cock out, you can't even help from cumming at the site of my boobs" etc. I really like Jenna - and it's all true, so I actually found it to be one of the hottest vids she'd done for her site - as did a number of other guys there, which shocked Jenna. She just did it as a throw-away little vid with no preparation and figured it would draw no particular attention at all. | |

The annoying thing to me about Comcast's usage limit is this: 7 months or so after e-mailing me about the Usage Meter, I still have no Usage Meter - I guess they're rolling it out state-by-state. So I have this Usage Limit hanging over my head with no Usage Meter to let me know whether I'm anywhere close to the edge - ridiculous. | |

Kandyce Jones is a young Sacramento babe that has been doing some wonderful, fun, unique sexy vids on Youtube - KandyceKam as she calls them. I love this new Silhouette Production http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Euy4LegkOvo She's got these cool star tats down the backs of her legs, which I guess makes her tatted up enough for Suicide Girls. Supposedly she was going to be doing some modelling for them, but I don't think I've seen anything. Anyway, you might enjoy this | |

Yeah, the widespread outbreak of AIDS produced crackdowns in LA and SF in the bath-houses - luckily! Las Vegas doesn't have licensed brothels, but it does have a vibrant escort scene similar to CA with very little law enforcement intervention. | |

Living in CA and knowing how vibrant and above-ground the "escort" scene is, I wouldn't dismiss this as hype. I bet there are a bunch of guys with money in CA that would compete to pop some hot young babe's cherry and while there is more than zero chance of Law Enforcement intervention, there is much less than 100% chance of Law Enforcement intervention. Nobody cares that much in CA. Shit, when Dianne Feinstein was mayor of SF years ago, she had a public war with Mitchell Bros O'Farrell theater, which is a very public strip club/brothel. Feinstein was trying to crack down on their activities, so they put on their marquee "For a good time, call.." with every private # they could get for Feinstein - and they were able to get a lot and got the new ones when she changed them. They're still operating as a public strip club/brothel many years after Feinstein moved on - even after both owners passed away, so they don't even have whatever political connections those guys had. Doesn't matter. SF isn't COMPLETELY anything goes. Pink Diamond was a strip club that got closed down due to too many shootings just about every fucking weekend. And Market St Cinema was the object of a major crack-down when they let things go to the point that they were letting every crack whore in town work there and they weren't even waiting for guys to set foot inside the door to molest them. They ignored the warnings and were jacked up badly because of it. But that's pretty much how far things need to go for law enforcement to get involved in that kind of stuff in SF. | |

That jibes with what I've heard from web-masters. Spunky, the photog/webmaster for Kate's Playground - and now dozens of other sites - even after he had been doing his thing for years and had clearly made a lot of money from it would always come back with "hey, we never claimed to be professionals" when anybody would criticize his technique about anything. I don't have a problem with home-grown sites claiming to be amateur. I do disagree with sites such as "InFocus Girls" being listed as amateur because it's mainly top euro-babes that they are using. Perhaps they get the "amateur" tag because the main guy shooting stuff for that site does a lot of stuff for ATK as Fred. I see his stuff at Teen Dreams and Twistys now as well. | |

This is probably not a realistic concern. I'm a member of a strip-club afficianado forum, which is public and even gets mentioned in the press every 3 years or so. There have been posts of planned socials every once in a while - no protesters. On the other hand, an escort-afficianado forum that has had publicly-announced socials has then had law enforcement attention at the events - not too terribly surprising, even in sexually permissive California. | |

I believe that it sprouted up when I clicked a link at 21Sextury.com, actually. I was browsing the site and clicked on DP Fanatics and all of a sudden, I was getting a pop-up about a virus on the site and my Norton Antivirus announced that an attack on my computer had been blocked - and then there was a barrage of dozens of pop-ups - including ones that started emulating my Norton anti-virus complete with the Norton logo. Even though my Norton anti-virus said that the heureristic Virus had been removed and the threat resolved and I had multiple messages that the attacks had been blocked, my computer was obviously infected. I couldn't get on the internet through any browser. Firefox said that my connection was routing to a proxy. And I couldn't connect to any Microsoft Security updates. The guy who repaired it said that my saving grace was that the virus program was in there whole. So he was able to remove it once he found it without having data destroyed or having to take out my OS. And he did it in less than 24 hours as compared to the Best Buy's Geek Squad who told me they would charge $130 and have it fixed in 10 days. | |

$140 is ridiculous? Shit, man - I just got my computer back from being repaired - cost me $140 for 2 hours work saving it from a virus infestation. You know that virus going around that presents itself as a "your computer is infected - you must scan now!"? Well I had an intense attack by that sucker yesterday - 25 or more pop-ups in a few minutes - and at a certain point, it figured out that my computer was using Norton Antivirus and presented itself with the Norton insignia and I made the wrong decision. Beware, my friends - these virus-writers are getting slicker and slicker in getting people to get infected. The guy who helped me out was an older Asian guy who has been working with computers for over 20 years. He said that he has seen recent viruses where a) you can't close your window without responding to them, b) answering "No" to their questions triggers the download, c) clicking the red "x" to close the pop-up triggers the download. He said the only correct decision is to close your browser window as safely as you can without answering any questions or clicking anywhere on the pop-up - including by using the task manager to close your browser - and then restart your computer completely. Then do a full scan as soon as possible and make sure you have whatever system updates downloaded that come from a reliable source. Dangerous shit, the internet | |

Actually, LK, you might have taken the time to check the facts before spouting this no-nothing crap. She had a companion. He had turned back. She had chosen not to. That's life. She died. People die - that doesn't make them stupid or careless. You're going to die some day too - hope that doesn't come as some incredible surprise. Hope someone doesn't print equally no-nothing bs when you do. | |

One of the things I like about living in the Bay Area - one of the capitals of freakiness of every variety, including body modification - tattoos, piercings, stretchings, etc - though not as much plasic surgery as LA - is the dichotomies you see. Today was a perfect example since we're in our usual late-September/October heat wave - record highs, in fact. As one of my co-workers remarked in his typically understated fashion - "I'm rather enjoying this Indian Summer - because when it's hot, the girls are out in light summer dresses, which makes things...pleasant." I walked out of that room to the lovely vision of our receptionist, a gorgeous 20-year old babe with jet black hair, a distinctive hawk-ish nose (prominent noses on gorgeous girls have always really turned me on), an incredibly tight bod, tats galore, wearing this gossamer, practically see-thru, red summer dress, practically dancing around the entrance-way, she was so happy that we were finally having some warm weather - it's been the chilliest Summer in the Bay Area this year since 1971. Give me the hot tatted-up sweet girly-girls of the Bay Area - such a bundle of sexy contradictions - I love it! | |

While piracy is certainly a problem - there are many forums I know of where you can download full sets and full vids in fine quality - if you have endless amount of time on your hands to use upload/download sites - I also believe that many of these forums also function as advertisements for the sites. I certainly found out about the existence of a lot of porn sites originally through forums and Yahoo groups that were posting a mix of legitimately released samples and pirated material. I'll also make the point that the music industry was completely against radio playing recorded music when that started because "nobody would buy a record if they could hear it for free on radio", which is about as intelligent as "only a moron pays for porn." Frankly, the number of forums posting quality free material is decreasing and they themselves are hurting for dollars, having the most intrusive ads you've ever seen in your life. Why? Because the over-riding thing affecting the porn industry, like every other industry dependant on consumer spending, is the horrible fucking economy. | |

And with respect for the smaller sites that found it more easy-going in the past and might indeed wash out in today's climate, a certain amount of capitalization is probably going to be necessary to deal with the vicissitudes of the market - just as with the restaurant business. In the wake of the dot-com boom in SF, there were a lot of restaurants that went under, many of them reputed to be serving fine food, though I'm not a big restaurant-goer and don't know from personal experience. They just didn't have the capital to make it through a period of negative profit. It may well be the same in the adult industry, that there will be small sites doing good stuff in a consumer-friendly way that just can't get the traffic to make a profit in a more challenged economy with piracy as a further challenge. It is another reason to be glad of the existence of TBP and other review sites that increase knowledge of smaller sites. | |

You may be right, however I would point out that through the past couple of years of doom-and-gloom warnings, the main trend that I have seen is the industry changing in ways that ARE favorable to collectors like myself - pricing getting more reasonable for lots of sites - at least for people willing to commit to long-term deals and content still being presented in high quality. There is clearly a weeding-out process going on and not all sites are going to make it. That's the fact in all challenged industries. If sites switch to presenting their material in ways that don't appeal to me, I'll cease to be a member of those sites or won't join them. And I'll join or remain a member of sites that are presenting their material in ways that appeal to me. That's how I plan on dealing with it. | |

Being both a fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies and a fan of good history, reading Patrick K O'Donnell's fine book, The Brenner Assignment: The Untold Story of the Most Daring Spy Mission of World War II, which discussed OSS missions behind enemy lines in Italy in the latter days of WW II, I was blown away to realize how much of Inglorious Basterds was very close to life, including an OSS captain who could easily have been a model for Brad Pitt's character, stories of all-Jewish or mainly-Jewish units that went behind enemy lines to kill as many Nazis as they possibly could, and SS commanders, fully as smart, ruthless, and persevering as the main Nazi character in the film. Good stuff! | |

No adult industry in 2 years - lol!! Yeah, the music industry is completely gone - right? There is none, there's no music being created anywhere, everything is over - right? The movie industry as well - gone! Completely gone! There hasn't been any movies made anywhere due to piracy having completely destroyed the movie industry. Will there be an adult industry in 2 years - I believe there will. Will there be a lot of debate and struggle over how sites juggle the desires of their members for easy downloads with the fight against piracy? Absolutely. All one can do is to support the sites that you feel deserve support and say "Goodbye" to the sites that you feel are no longer worth maintaining membership to. | |

Agreed. Amia had pretty small boobs - and the way things go these days in the adult industry, few babes with pretty small boobs have the confidence of Jenna Haze to say, "Fuck it! I'm not some stupid sheep! I like my natural bod and I'm not going to fuck it up!" - a paraphrase, but that's basically what Jenna says about the issue. Jenna has also refused to book babes with fake boobs for her films. She's sick of looking around LA and seeing moron parents buying fake boobs for their daughters' high-school graduation presents and doesn't want to encourage that crap. One more reason to love Jenna Haze, in my opinion. Talia had perfect - and quite size-able boobs. To go and have some moron of a plastic surgeon stick huge things in her chest for no reason - I don't get it. I don't get the "Wow! I wish I were Wendy Whoppers or one of the other inter-changeable Grade D 80's pornstars that made a career out of freakishly big boobs for a minute or two" metality. | |

I've got to say that I'm inconsistent in regard to boob jobs. If I've never been acquainted with a girl before her boob job, I just react to her as she is now - hot or not. Then there are girls that get boob jobs that look like crap at first, then settle nicely, like Karen Dreams. If I'm a fan of a girl with her natural look, boob jobs can be pretty hard to deal with - and there's been a barrage lately: Amia Miley - WTF? - did she really need these? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_S1dws51U8yM/TH...oretti.fake-tits.jpg Amy Brooke had a delightful natural chest, got a boob job, got an infection, had to have the implants removed, I'm not sure what her boobs look like now. And the piece de resistance - or the cause of this post - Talia Shepard, a girl with stunning natural boobs got these: http://jamesdot.com/bella/talia-week Hopefully the links fit in with the "allowed to prove a point" category, rather than the "sharing free porn" category in the view of the mod(s). | |

The other thing to consider is that it's not just you that have anti-virus, firewall, etc. The sites have them as well and they're constantly adding/upgrading to their anti-hacking, anti-piracy security - which means that your security features are checking out the site and the site's security features are checking you out. Twisty's is a site that takes longer to get to the home page than any other site that I can think of - and I know for a fact that they have uber-anti-hacking software working away, so I just click and wait until I'm in. | |

There are a couple of "massage" sites out there now - Porn Pros Network has one on it's network of sites and there are others. I don't know if the others are part of networks or not. As to horror porn, ActionGirls.com has some horror porn as part of its site and you can get a full trial for $5, I believe. There's also xxxspacegirls.us, which has a lot of campy sci-fi and horror porn, babes being attacked by aliens, etc. | |

I suspect that it might be your anti-virus, firewall, etc, taking their time to "examine" the site before the connection goes through. The "better"/more complete your anti-virus, firewall, etc is, the longer it may take examining the site it's going to connect to. | |

The great example of how welcoming other religions are as compared to Islam is being set by the fucking imbecilic retards - to use a technical term - in Florida that are planning to burn 200 copies of the Quran on Saturday as their commemoration of 9/11 - in spite of the fact that the military commanders who know a thing or two about conditions on the ground are pointing out "uh - folks - we've got a few American troops over here and they're not exactly going to be treated well when you people are burning the book most holy to the people that live over here."

Cameron is nothing if not a pretentious ass. TMZ had a clip of him in an airport right after Avatar came out. Some guy was complimenting him on the movie and Cameron's first reaction was to tell the guy, "Get away from me!" The exchange went on for a while and got worse from there, ending with Cameron driving away while the guy screams at him what a shitty person he is and how much his movie sucked. Ahhh, James Cameron - making friends wherever he goes. | |

Roger Corman was, of course, the king of low-budget movies. The original "Little Shop of Horrors" for instance, was entirely shot on locations that were built for another film. Corman asked the people involved in the other film - "Hey, can I get in there and make a movie quickly before these sets are destroyed?" They said "yes" and he got to make movie and pay $0.00 for his sets. And he made an entertaining little movie too. That was the real secret of Corman's success, in my opinion. He could actually make entertaining movies. I'm looking forward to the 3d "Resident Evil" movie coming out soon. That series has been a lot of fun. | |

To take this thread into what might be dangerously-controversial territory, I have to say that the fact that the Catholic Church is considered an acceptable institution despite having run a global Child Molestation ring for RECENT decades proves just how absurd this whole Muslim Exceptionalism point is. Religion is the great excuse. You can do ANYTHING and if you do it with the cover of being a cleric of a major religion, you can scream "Religious Freedom" or "You're just being anti-religion" when anybody tries to demand a modicum of normally accepted behaviour. Are there Muslim clerics who are straight-out thugs and criminals? Abso-fucking-lutely. Are there large sections of the Catholic Church that should be prosecuted under conspiracy charges for their part in having run and/or protected a global Child Molestation ring? Abso-fucking-lutely. Is there a huge section of Jewish clerics that have used mythology and made-up history and deliberately covered up real history in order to justify despicable acts and attitudes against Palestinians? Abso-fucking-lutely. You can be raised a Baptist from a whole generations-long line of Baptists, convert to Judaism tomorrow and have the "right of return" to Israel while Palestinians with true lineage to the land have to rights to even breathe. Are there Protestant clergy that promote moron-ism in every way, shape, and form in order to have the most sheep-like followers they can get in order to manipulate the stupid bastards for their own political and economic interests with NO interest in the future of humanity or the planet? Abso-fucking-lutely. You can find real morality and good deeds done by religious leaders, but it's sure covered over by a whole lot of shit. | |

Judging from the fact that there are a LOT of sites continue to operate with good customer service and high quality material, I believe that the answer to this question is a proven "Yes", since this ruinous economy has been here for a couple years+ now. I'm not saying that it's not challenging. Some sites, such as ALS Scan, have been quite blunt about how challenging things are economically and putting it out there that they won't be able to do the super-expensive things they have done for years, such as the Caribbean trips, if they don't have a membership base to support it. But saying, "We're going to have to cut down on expenses" is far from saying "We're going under." I agree that sites are wise to work e-mail lists, cultivate the better forums out there, offer some nice pricing and do good effective marketing of their sites. This isn't a "Field of Dreams" economy, that's for sure. | |

Do Muslims have a monopoly on the kind of deadly narrow-mindedness that you describe, Squirrel? Hardly. The Christian Right in the US - and other countries - and right-wing Jews can be just as insipid. Hell, Pat Robertson was going on about how America deserved 9/11 for turning its back on God right after the event, while there were a lot of Muslims with brains and hearts that were mourning it. You don't hear as much about the despicable attitudes these other faiths promote because they're more promoted by the media and the powers that be in this country, who have a real interest in dominating the Muslim world. | |

Actually the head cleric of this proposed mosque is someone that the US has sent to various countries to propagandize about how cool the US is to Moslems. So much for that, I suppose. But anybody that didn't know that this was going to be controversial had their head quite a ways up their bum. Especially with building at or around Ground Zero, there's got to be a lot of looking for a semblance of community concensus. Anything else is just asking for trouble for no good reason. | |

If you haven't noticed, this isn't one of those forums where you can have an "appreciation" thread and expect to only have posts with a positive viewpoint of the original topic. I know there are forums that do that - this isn't one of them. Hell, if you can keep the thread from veering off into the hottest Egyption Hieroglyphics you'll be doing something around here. | |

Showgirls has amazing "so bad it's good" campiness - the scene of her throwing a tantrum in the restaurant with french fries flying everywhere is just beautiful! Then there are the dance scenes that seemed to have been done with no choreography. | |

I saw "The Expendables" today - I'd been looking forward to it, was hoping for campy fun. It was even better than I expected - had a light tone, but it had that story element that Stallone likes to use of a good woman challenging him to do the right thing. Mickey Rourke was great as the wise man of the movie. I recommend it to anybody that likes action movies with a strong whiff of "The Dirty Dozen". | |

Some sites, such as Dani.com, have done parodies for years - pretty cute and sexy, most of the time. Here's a list of what someone thought were the 40 best TV parodies: http://www.brobible.com/Story/82714 Here's a list of porn parody names(best, worst, lame, etc): http://encyclopediadramatica.com/List_of_Porn_Parodies I've checked out a couple of the recent parodies because there were performers that I liked. They weren't funny and were the absolute crappiest sex performances by everyone involved. Oh, and they were horribly filmed as well. But the damned things sure are popular! | |

I don't have the problems you describe, but anytime I do have problems with a particular vid file, I play it on VLC. If it doesn't work there and it's a WMV or avi file, not an mov or rm file, I figure it's a bad file and delete it. | |

I don't know, man. You guys just meet the wrong young people. I work with lots of people decades younger than me and meet a lot of my nephew's friends and they're decades younger than me and they're a pretty dang intelligent, well-spoken crowd. This thread reminds me of that song from the musical, Bye Bye Birdie that came out in the 60's - "Kids" - I don't know what's wrong with these kids today! Kids! Who can understand anything they say? Kids! They a disobedient, disrespectful oafs! Noisy, crazy, dirty, lazy, loafers! | |

All of the pics of her ass are blurry. Bizarre, because the pics of her face are quite clear. At first I thought it was an issue of perspective and camera focus - face in front, ass in back, face is clear, ass is blurry. But then there are pics where the ass is right there in front - still blurry - wtf? | |

Twistys is using the same photog as Digital Dreamgirls/Desire for a lot of their stuff these days - good reason for comparison. Met Art is all over the place, given their numerous photogs, though they usually have clearer pics than Twistys standards. | |
