British Films

Post by Richard »

I just want to ask one question.

You have the creator of the british Gonzo film Lord Benjamin of Dover doing what he does Best.

Why oh why does every single producer/owner of a Camera feel the need to copy his style and in some cases get the girls to do more and more extreme scenes.

Has no-one in this industry in the UK as a whole got any intellegence of their own to produce a product that is in no way linked to the Ben Dover series

Why is the market flooded with British Copycats?

Im glad to see someone else using my new name for Benjy i.e. Lord Ben etc. Imitation is the highest form of flattery! And that saying also applys to Bens imitators. Dont forget the great man himself borrowed his style from John "Buttman" Stagliano. Although to be fair Ben did greatly enhance the format with his own unique style and input. Porn in the UK owes a lot to Uncle Ben. I do wish he would stop cutting the golden showers from his YC releases though.

BTW where are you Ben? Your missed round here. (I nearly said and so is Orville but I resisted the temptation).

The answer is simple - beacuse it's compartivly easy and cheap to do.

To do anything more requires technical skills, expensive equipment, imagination, creativity, huge wads of cash and girls of a higher calibre than what apear to be available for this kind of work at this time.

That's 99% of the World market taken care of then.....Ben does what he does very well. And it's not just Brits who imitate him.
Gonzo by its nature is hit-or-miss: perhaps Ben ought to be re-categorised as Pro-Gonzo or something (and no, Magoo, that's not a friend of Cuddles). I for one can't abide shakily-shot, gloomily-lit amateur stuff, it reminds me of my early teenage fumblingsin the one-and-nines.
Most attempts to turn porn into a sort of 'Die Hard-On' blockbuster fail either because the sex becomes secondary, or the plot does (see, for example, Private's late-90s attempts). The two are mutually antagonistic, unless the plot is entirely sex-related: e.g. a fantasy seduction scene.
Most of the Brit market's output would be vastly improved by a smaller expenditure on:
1) more cameras/camerapersons
2) better fees for performers
3) better locations
4) more judicious editing (even just MORE editing)

Well, talking of golden showers, I think this could be a record. Beat this for distance!

This is my own depraved style and yes, I did get wet.

OK, me and Zoe, school playground bogs RIGHT NOW: I bet she can't do 8 1/2 feet.......the chalk-mark is still there (tho' it was wind-assisted).

Alas, Zoe won't talk on camera but she more than made up for it in other ways. I took the precaution of using my underwater camera and umbrella.

She'll beat your 8.5 feet, jj. She'd only had ONE lager and as you know, the formula is pissing distance = lager x speed of piss squared.
