And it wasn't advertised as a she-male vid? That's what's unusual - not that you would happen on one, since they're all over the damned place these days. | |

Anybody who didn't already associate Nicholas Cage with cocaine has never seen him in person or on screen, so I doubt that this was any great be-smirching. But yeah, the ingratitude to Stone, the only film-maker that gave him classy roles, shows what a total shit Charlie Sheen is. | |

Kind of reminds me of the original "Luke is Back" site - that site was all built on rumors and grudges and boring e-mails being quoted and cross-referenced ad-nauseum. How anybody ever had the patience to find anything to be offended by on that site was the mystery to me, it was so fucking boring. Now, it's more establishment, but still fucking boring. | |

This was an issue in the John Staglione trial. Staglione's side was arguing for the right of Lorelei Lei to testify under her stage name without having her "real" name (given that my family name was changed by customs officials when my grandfather got off a boat in the US, I have rather a jaundiced view of any names being real), the prosecution was insisting that she could only testify under her legal name. | |

I'm a big fan of the books. I saw all the movies. I thought the first one was OK. I thought the second one was dreadful - a botch job as a film and I thought that the director/writer's re-writing of the books in several key aspects was awful and I thought they destroyed the ending. I pretty much hated the second movie, though I understand that it was an edit of a longer movie that had been done for television, so that explains part of why it was such crap. I thought the 3rd movie was the best of the 3, by far - and quite a good movie. I'm really looking forward to what Fincher will do with the series. He's done some movies that I thought were awesome. | |

That's fine but to say you don't like the movie is mis-leading. The reality is that you don't like the movie's synopsis, as you read it. Which is fine. But it's not the same as being able to judge the movie itself. | |

You don't like a movie because of what you read about it? How is that fair or reasonable? You can "think" you won't like it, but if you don't see it, you really won't know. I've found a lot of movies I thought I'd like to be pieces of crap and liked some movies a lot that I never expected to. | |

I saw Sucker Punch, which I'd very much been looking forward to. It fulfilled my expectations and then some. I liked 300 for the look of it, but was not so hot on the content. I understand that Sucker Punch is by the same guy who, like Robert Rodriguez, is really into embracing the latest technology to make movies that couldn't have been made the same way before. It's very much a graphic novel come to life, including all the juicy thigh shots of the lead character, Babydoll. But beyond all that - and beyond the sexiness of much of the movie, it's got a real heart and at a time when ordinary people are exhibiting unbelievable heroism across the Middle East and North Africa, it's very timely to see this movie, which is more than anything else an ode to the heroism of ordinary people - I highly recommend it! | |

My recommendation - if you mainly like vids - is EvilAngel.com - only $9.95 with the PU discount and they just uploaded 50+ new scenes on Monday as their tribute to March Madness. So they have all kinds of rough anal girl/girl material, including great Belladonna and Jay Sinn produced material. | |

If you've never seen "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", be prepared to be amazed. Edward Albee played right - in terrifying fashion! But "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is excellent as well - Tennessee Williams beautifully done. She had quite a range as an actress, actually. | |

There are forums that have strict rules about posting only officially-sanctioned material. There are forums that exist for their rep for having the best collection of pirated material. Owners of sites and web-masters have a choice to make: Take a hands-off approach, mainly, and figure the money and time they save by not pursuing the thieves they'll make up by having a more appealing site. Other sites put a lot of energy and time and money into stopping the thieves, but it's always a game of whack-a-mole, because there are always new piracy-forums and blogs popping up and always file-sharing sites popping up as well. | |

Good question, rearadmiral. I've often thought that a book on the career of Bruce Seven would be fascinating - mainly because he had a core group of performers around him and it could get into all of those relationships - sort of like a real-life, more fetishy Boogie Nights. But I've never seen books on the porn business that are not the Linda Lovelace-style - I was abducted and raped for 7 years type of thing where everybody who remained in the business and was around any of the events described can only say, "What a pack of lies!" There was that film documentary about Shauna Grant that PBS did in the 80's that was half-decent. And even better - no, WAY better than that is the film "Kamikaze Hearts" that focused on the relationship between Sharon Mitchell and Tigr Menet at a point when Sharon Mitchell was still performing and was a heroin addict. I'll never forget one scene where Sharon Mitchell was shooting up on camera, looking right into the lens, talking about "Nobody will ever want to work with me once they see this", like she was deliberately torpedoing her performing career in order to get on with her life. It's an amazing film, got shown at a bunch of film festivals when it was first released. | |

I think, though, that the general point is a good one. The world has been opened up, partly due to the internet, in a way that makes it very hard for the rulers to keep things under their thumb in the way they have been historically. So we're seeing demonstrations of highly educated middle class people in country after country who are basically telling their rulers, "Get the fuck out of our way! Get your boot off our necks and let us live our own damned lives!" It's pretty unique and obviously pretty powerful and it's confounding to just about everybody - the imperialist powers like the US that have relied on strong men to keep their countries under control, the religious fanatics that have used that bs to lead people like sheep, the terrorists that have pushed the lie that committing atrocities is the only way to get your point across. It's a really healthy and really important thing that's going on in the world right now. I have no idea where it's going to go. Back in 1979, because the Shah of Iran's regime had so decimated the left, when there were similar uprisings in Iran, it was only the Islamists that had the strength to take control. Do these highly educated middle class people have that ability to do so - or to get their representatives into power when the dust settles? I sure don't know. I wasn't predicting any of this, that's for damned sure and I wouldn't have bet on Mubarak leaving office or the Egyptian military refraining from killing large numbers of protesters in Tahrir square either. It's exciting, though. | |

My computer repair guy - who has helped me twice and has proven to me that he knows what he's talking about - tells me that the Norton Security program that I get with Comcast is really strong - not 100% bullet-proof, but really strong. I've looked around at mal-ware protection, but when I look for skeptical criticism there's a lot of critics that say that a lot of these "cleaners" are identifying stuff that's not very harmful - so do I need more junk programs clogging up my system? No - I just need to have enough self-discipline to pay attention when my Norton anti-virus is warning me that I'm in dangerous territory - or I can go buy a Mac, I suppose. | |

Prices of sites are all over the map - Met Art, Twistys, 21st Sextury - are some sites with the highest amount of content out there, but also offer some of the best low-price deals, especially if you join for a longer term. I don't find prices going up overall - I find the opposite, mainly. | |

I highly recommend the met-art vids as a cure to insomnia - no, scratch that - they're so infuriatingly boring that they wake me up because I get pissed off that they are able to make such unbelievably boring fucking vids with such gorgeous women - horrible fucking crap!

Good advice for the un-tech-savvy like myself. Even having seen a tech use the thing, I'd be happier paying him $30 and feel confident that he was doing the right things (since he's had my machine twice and fixed it rather than fucked it up) than to wing it myself and regret it. | |

That's what the tech guy used when I brought it to him, actually - It was the final thing he ran anyway. He had to have done some other stuff to get the path to the internet un-blocked or he wouldn't have been able to download and run combofix. Edited on Feb 04, 2011, 05:37am | |

Yeah, hackers and virus-writers are damned virulent and increasingly aggressive. I had a similar situation to Rear-Admiral - not an e-mail, but a slew of pop-ups telling me that I had a virus and needed to run the anti-virus. Since it wasn't my anti-virus, I answered, "No" - wrong answer - there is no answer except to shut down your browser completely when you get such a pop-up. Then the virus got the info that I was using Norton anti-virus, so it masqueraded as Norton anti-virus and I mistakenly answered "Yes", then realized I'd fucked up when I had no more internet connectivity - cost me $140 at a computer repair shop to get that fixed. But I found out a week or two ago that it's not entirely fixed. I was surfing and all of a sudden one of those anti-virus exe's started downloading to my computer without my having clicked on anything announcing it. I shut down my browsers as fast as possible and ran a complete system scan. I then re-started my computer and had some weird message about a virus scan that I had to run and found that I was blocked from the internet. I took it back to the same computer tech. He told me that with the previous attack, there was a channel opened to my computer so that if I happen on a web-page infected with that same virus, it will download without my doing anything. He was able to help me this time very quickly and inexpensively - $30 - due to the fact that my Norton anti-virus had blocked most of the virus and he just needed to do some clean-up to get the rest of the problem and eliminate the block to internet access. But the only thing I can do now to prevent the virus from downloading again is to watch where I surf and listen to my anti-virus when it's telling me that there are dangers associated with certain sites. As they used to say on Hill Street Blues - "Be careful out there!" | |

It's for all the guys that watched Jessica Alba in "Into the Blue" and thought "If she were only nekkid, this would be the ultimate in eroticism". Unfortunately, there aren't too many women as gorgeous as Jessica Alba doing adult modelling - and after a while, you do want to see them doing different things. This would DEFINITELY be a niche that would be more appealing in a pay-by-scene format. | |

One aspect of the biz neglected in that article is the porn forums that are piracy-based. It would be interesting to know who owns them. It's a weird world, since they exist based on affiliate fees and have various sets of rules for their various forums, but many of them draw traffic because of the pirated material that they make available. I would exclude the most prominent porn forum I know, since they have very strict any-piracy guidelines throughout their site, but that's not the case with many of the smaller porn forums. | |

That's hilarious - well, some site might as well come out with it. There's all kind of ways that guys are contributing to girls and their futures - whether the transactions are in strip clubs or via cam sites or the escort biz. One dancer I know who was let go from my fave strip club really missed working there because she said she met the best sugar daddies there. It's not a posh club in the least, but it's a club that definitely encourages dancers and patrons to hang out together - and if guys get to know dancers more, some of the guys want to contribute to their future. I've heard of guys making themselves available for food runs, chauffer service, etc - all the way up to paying for dancers' and former dancers' rent and buying them cars. Not me, but some guys. I did buy my fave dancer a teenie tiny bikini once - one of those ALS bikinis - great fun to get a private show from her in it. | |

If someone's a member of a site that's feedback-driven and makes it clear that they are feedback-driven and the person doesn't want to participate in that feedback, then you can't complain that you're being ignored because you're not the most profitable demographic - you're being ignored because you've chosen not to participate in the mechanism that the site has set up to give members what they want. You can "go with the flow" - I often do. But it's not fair to the site to then make up bogus reasons as to why the site isn't meeting your desires. | |

Amazingly enough, webmasters are people. Some are cool, some are not so cool. Some care about their customers, some couldn't give a rats ass. My experience in dealing with people in the porn biz isn't that much different than dealing with people that run other businesses. There is more of the "flaky artist" thing in porn, particularly when you're dealing with sites that are a one-man or one-woman band or when you have a porn star that has her hand in so many pots that the web site aspect of her biz gets short shrift. | |

I joined Facebook under an alter-ego identify (what goods the internet if you can't have many?) so that I could see pics some porn babes were putting up. These days, Twitter is the preferred delivery system for such material - all those Myspace and Facebook porn babe pages are left to rot. | |

It's interesting, because ALS Scan is an example that very much relies on member feedback in terms of what material gets released when. They poll members when they post samples from the sets after a new shoot or when they shoot a new model. And they encourage members to e-mail their opinions about samples posted in blogs - and these type of member feedbacks are the main elements that they use in determining their release schedule. But then we see some PU's posting bitter comments about their dislike of waiting to see scenes that aren't the most popular sets or vids or that members haven't been clamoring for via e-mail. It just goes to show - you can't please everybody no matter what you do. Sites need to aim to please, do what they say they're going to do, and have a certain amount of thick skin to not get offended by the criticism that they'll hear no matter what. | |

I know of another site that is working on putting together a "pay-by-scene" alternative. It's only in the planning/testing stages at this point, so I'm not going to steal their thunder. It's not something that I would be likely all that interested in, but it's a smart idea if a site can find the right price point to make it a win/win for the site and for the consumer. As Mistress Kent said, there's real costs of production - a web site wouldn't want to make their "pay-by-scene" offer so inexpensive that it wound up hurting their business overall. | |

I'm surprised that they would claim not to be aiming to be known for public nudity - maybe they've gone away from that, but certainly with that solo-girl site that they had for quite a while, they concentrated a lot on public nudity. Personally, I never found it very hot, not enough to join one of their sites anyway. | |

According to the TBP review of Andrew Blake's site, there are NO downloads of ANYTHING on the site - and he gets an award for best photography website - must have been voted on by people that have never joined a website in their life, because nobody that joins websites is happy at not being able to download what's on the site. | |

I appreciate your posting here, Shap - and your general attitude and low-key reaction to criticism. I still find that Twistys treatment of photos lessens their eroticism more than it heightens the eroticism. Like, for instance, yesterday's set of Nina James. She's a gorgeous girl. But I click on the first pic in the set and the treatment of the pic has done away with all skin tone and all definition of her upper body to the point where her chin is dissolving into her neck. It's like it's supposed to be a pic of a ghost in a Twistys shirt and instead of thinking of how hot she is, I'm just wondering "What the fuck did they do that for?" When I get to pic 14, her chin still is fairly translucent and her left boob has been rendered definition-less, dissolving into her torso, though you can see the nipple. It's exactly the kind of photo set that has me damning photo treatment altogether and praising the far more treatment-less style of ATK, where they're not making their models into ghosts for no apparent reason. And, unfortunately, I find this the norm with Twistys pics - they soften the edges to the point that the models faces get blurred, their bodies get blurred and I just don't get what the point is in the least. I have to say that today's post of Cydel's photo set is worlds better in treating her pics without doing away with everything that's interesting about her. Edited on Jan 19, 2011, 06:07pm | |

There's been a handful of hyper-defensive webmasters around here that have reacted badly to anything remotely negative - but nobody ever said that only the most emotionally well-balanced individuals could start a porn site. That's why we need to give our appreciation to those that have the right attitude. | |

She's planning her retirement based on when she thinks it will be a big hassle for him. Family values - hell, yeah - she obviously cares about him and makes him a big part of her life and wants to have the bucks to provide him the best life she can. She's a sexual woman, so that's what she's using - since I'm enough of a porn fan to be an active member of this forum, I'm certainly not about to dis her for it. | |

None of them have ever been exclusive to 21Sextury. Sophie Moone has wound down her activity quite a bit, but she was one of the most popular Euro-models in her prime. Blue Angel and Aletta Ocean are both very active - by European porn producers as well as the US. Both have been used by many studios. All things being equal, my understanding is that independent porn performers make more than contract stars. But that's only a matter of contract salary for the set number of films per year. Smart contract stars use the promotion by the studio to get related gigs - feature dancing or being paid for appearances, being licensed for adult toys, etc. And it can work with some performers' lifestyle. Jesse Jane describes herself as a soccer mom. Doing a small number of films per year from one studio gives her the freedom to spend a lot of time with her son. Then she can make the bucks feature dancing a certain number of weekends a year. | |

This issue raised itself again for me, when I saw the following description for a model at a pay site: "Heidi is from the Ukraine, and has only recently started amateur modeling." Why is this an accurate statement? Amateur modeling, to my mind, is when a girl is in her bedroom or her friend's house and she's dressing up and her friend's taking pictures of her to see how they turn out. Pro modeling is when she works with a professional photographer and gets professional styling and there's an expectation of payment for the modeling. If I were writing this, I would say "Heidi is from the Ukraine, and has only recently started professional adult modeling." Because, for all I know, she might have been practicing for years - she sure looks quite self-assured. | |

I thought it was a pretty good list, definitely USA-centric. I don't know if they looked at web-site popularity as well as as DVD sales. Adult DVD Empire shows Kayden Kross as their #3 most popular porn star, Tori Black as #7, Ashlynn Brook as #12, Jenna Haze as #18, none of the rest of these performers in their top 25 A forum that gets a huge amount of traffic also lists Kayden and Tori alone in their top 10 - I think both that forum and Adult DVD Empire's lists could change daily depending on search count/sales. From a perspective of canvassing trends in the industry, Belladonna and Joanna Angel were smart inclusions because they have stood out from the pack in the way they handle their business affairs, took control of their own careers. | |
