After the 'tremendous' success (, no wait, ) of the first two 10 'quotable' (??) reflections on porn and Another 10 'quotable' (??) reflections on porn, I couldn't resist cashing in on a third one.
I really do belong in Hollywood, I guess.

(1)
“Less is more is not a popular mantra in the porn business … unless budgets are involved of course.”

(2)
“My dick doesn’t get hard by watching a perfectly executed match action cut.”

(3)
“In porn, if I have to choose between seeing something real that looks fake, or seeing something fake that looks real, I pick the latter any time.”

(4)
“Why blame pornographers for acting like accountants, when so many consumers do the same or worse.”

(5)
“The easiest way to explain the difference between porn aesthetics and classical narrative cinema. Imagine a story in which a boring sex scene is compositionally motivated. For classical narrative cinema, no problem. For porn, an insurmountable problem. You either end up with a boring sex scene – which is bad porn – or an interesting sex scene that is NOT compositionally motivated – which is bad storytelling.”

(6)
“Watching porn without sound is like a ‘café zonder bier’ (a bar that has no beer). It’s still a bar, but it has lost most of it’s potential.”

(7)
“To use editing techniques associated with compilation sequences to edit together a continuity scene is almost always dumb and annoying as hell. Sex scenes are continuity scenes, not compilation sequences. A lot of ‘creative’ and ‘artistic’ porn directors don’t seem to grasp this simple distinction.”

(8)
“The ‘truth’ of porn is a lie. As long as the lie is told in a convincing way, this is not a problem. Lies can be told very convincingly when the liar believes in the lie himself. No wonder the best porn is made by pornographers who believe in the ‘truth’ of porn.”

(9)
“The presence or absence of specific acts seldom influences the way I value porn. The way the acts are created and presented does.”

(10)
“When I am watching porn, there is only one male whose pleasure interests me: Walter Burns’. And Walter Burns needs to see female pleasure to get his. I guess this means that Walter Burns is still a male chauvinist pig, but an atypical one.”

All of these are really a breath of fresh air. Thanks, Walter.

Some classics. #6 especially got me chuckling.

As both those other two reflection collections predate the Do you craft your posts for Walter Burns? thread, I guess your reply in that one wasn't entirely correct:
Unless of course that was Dr. Evil speaking. But doesn't he usually have the courtesy to sign his name when he uses your ADT account? (Does he leave his name whenever he uses anything else of yours?)


As for this batch of Burnsian quotes, my favourite would be:

(6) “Watching porn without sound is like a ‘café zonder bier’ (a bar that has no beer). It’s still a bar, but it has lost most of it’s potential.”

What's dubbed porn like then? A Heineken bottle with Budweiser inside? ::shudder::

3 & 10 I can relate too as well.

I am somewhat amazed, but greatful nonetheless. It is very kind of you to only show interest in Walter Burns' pleasure when you are watching porn.

btw, I am Dr. Porn now. I don't know if Dr. Evil is still in business. I guess we will have to wait and see if he turns up on Sunday.

Amazing isn't it? Whod've have thought?
Porn = Evil?
Forgot to change your 'Location' text.

Edited to add: Ah. Just saw the other thread. I guess the Porn=Evil pun wasn't so original after all.

I like this one most because I seem to be the same atypical male chauvinist pig who wants to see girls enjoying themselves.

+1 for 9!

Publicity begins by working on a natural appetite for pleasure. Anyone hungry?

Ah, but that's because they are trying to go 'beyond' the sex. I'm thinking that's like going 'beyond' the edge of the roof. You fall off and bust your ass when that happens.
