1.
does anybody misses the plot in porn movies?
I know internet and regular wankers don't, but wasn't it fun
to produce a movie with a plot, a concept etc...
2.
Who does remember why deep throat was worth a documentary?
3.
Wasn't "The Opening of Misty Beethoven" a little bit overrated?
I think the crisis should be a good time to review this industry history,
for a better future. Don't You?

Now, that Hollywood produces such brilliant blockbusters, any attempt by porn producers to emulate these kinds of films look painfully sad. I saw the opening of "Pirates" much hailed in America as a major feature porn film, it was dreadful,appalling dead-pan acting and the "Inside" of the 17th Century ship looked like it was made from grey office partitions.You could even see the gaps, if it was real the fucking ship would have sunk in 5 minutes! Inexcusable, when in Hollywood you have access to the finest set designers and builders in the World.
I say if you can't do it properly, then don't do it at all.Unfortunately most porn features even big budget ones, do not exceed the production values of early "Blake's Seven" shows, but at least these were funny and the cast could act!
I think Mario Salieri films are superb, he doesn't use crappy sets, he uses actual castles and old houses. Italy of course is full of them.
The 1980/90's LA produced porn was great, all the stuff with Ron Jeremy and girls like Seka, unfortunately those days are long gone. However, even in those days I used to wind forward as best I could, past the "Acting" with my clunky VHS recorder, I can't remember anyone else actually watching the acting either.

I still like the pizza delivery boy and tv repairman stories. Now we got the reason for the cock turning up to shag the chick lets get to the fucking..Ha ha
Nah I prefer my reality documentary approach, a bit of tease and segue into the action.
Ive always been a nosey sod so its nice to see this has done well for me. Seems a lot more people are equally voyeuristic beyond the surface too
I always found that ambitious stuff a bit boring for porn but thats just me. If I want plot and big budget blockbuster I go see Avatar.
I watch porn to see some fit hotty getting it and I dont want to fast forward to the good bits if i can help it

My two peneth for what it's worth.
Some folks like a plot, some don't - personally I think a little 'plotette' lol - like the Tv repairman or the plumber kinda adds to the scene - as you said sir " you now have the reason for the cock being there" the other aspect is that sometimes the more 'normal' looking the characters are - the more some guys think 'that could be me etc' or the girls for that matter, I think it it adds a certain realism to the scene other than just - camera ,action , fuck - just my opinion of course. And when I finally get my act together and start filming more than short clips, I think the 'plotette' is the way I will go.
And folks, please don't bite my head off for saying 'normal' - please take into consideration the context of what i was saying !grin!

I think you raised a good issue: " that could be me ".
A lot of couples enjoy porn, and they tend to project themselves into the situation.
Also I find it rather boring to watch a couple of guys forcing a conversation for the sake of getting in the "mood"... I also think is hard to make a good porn that
involves a plot, acting etc.
For the online "market" i think "camera, action, fuck" is the right way to do it,
since it is obvious the need of this sector.
But for tv or dvd's I think we talk about another type of consumer, and there
are differences in the time involve.
About the 'normal' look of the characters I see it as in more likely to be the subject
for a projection of the viewer... in any kind of sex involved.
Don't you think at the same reason?

It was on one of my old series for TVX called "Dildo Dan and Jan", who used to deliver sex toys indiscretely to various customers and then shag them.
In this episode they were told by their boss to, "Blend in with the countryside!.
Hence the outfit. It was a little like this:

without the horns. My cow outfit was much better because it also had proper cow trousers and hooves, which were really difficult to get into the cycle clips! Anyway, on the day, they came careering down the road out of control and actually crashed into a parked car, as the driver couldn't see properly through the cow head. The sight nearly gave a passing OAP a heart attack! Luckily there were no serious injuries. Well apart from my sides splitting!!grin!

Now that would be an interesting scenario.
Personally I like a bit of a plot to give some semblance of a storyline (however flimsy), or even the style of a lot of those softcore tapes produced in the 90's - themed vignettes.

Fuck the so called story line. Most of those in porn couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag.
Ben Dover, Johnny Rebel and Jimslip are the scenarios I prefer. Turn up at a house /flat and say to camera "This is, whoever, who wrote to me and said she wants to get into porn. So, get em of luv and shag my mate while I film you."
Short, sharp and to the pointand the questions before hand are usually ok.
Mind you, I have always liked gonzo and I do like behind the scenes shots and the photoshoots before filming starts. It sort of makes the actual sucking and fucking scene longer.
I have a good idea of how long a shoot lasts and I like looking for clocks in the background or wristwatches to see start and finish times etc. But that's me. Any one else like that?
