Reviewers Recommend Working Girls 3 (Reality Junkies) - review by Captain Jack Director: Mike Quasar Starring: Danny Mountain, Derrick Pierce, Anissa Kate, Codey Steele, Adira Allure, Elizabeth Skylar, Taylor Wild, Jay Romero. Read review
Do NOT buy these flicks expecting the POV-type virutal sex that you get in the (far superior) "My Plaything.." and "Virtual Sex With.." series.
These DVDs are just pretty packages with false advertising as they deliver NOTHING that is promised on the cover.
I just got finsihed viewing their most recent offering "My Virutal Shayla & Olivia". Total Ripoff. No POV shots -- at all. The sex is filmed and lit acceptably, but all of it is like "3rd person". There are some tight angles, but that does NOT mean POV. No Multi-Angle. This is clearly marked as a feature on the box but isn't delivered at all.
It's the same story with "My Virtual Shayla", and "My Virtual Twins". Nothing "virtual" about it. You don't feel like you are there. You feel like 3rd person observer.
Steer clear of any of these films. I'm sure the "Cyhteria" one is no different.
I must say that in general I am totally underwhlemed by Anarchy 's offerings. I have also seen their "My Point of View" video and while it *is* mostly POV, the lighting and video quality are substandard. It seems like all this company can do is make good boxcovers. The content really sucks.
As a virtual sex disc, "My Virtual Cytherea" is gawd-awful. There are no "multiple angles" as advertised, and it's really nothing more than a heavily chaptered traditionally sequential movie.
HOWEVER, if you go into it with the right expectations, there's still plenty to like about that disc, particulrarly if you're a Cytherea fan at all. Anyway, for more specifics about my thoughts, I direct you to my post in a Cytherea thread in Star Crossed.
Anyway, my point is I certainly agree with you as far as its badly represented claim as a virtual sex disc, but as a Cytherea slavering fan-boy, I'll be the first to say that she alone is worth it.

I'm going to spread the word about Anarchy's deceptive marketing to the USENET. Look for a post from tritone on rec.arts.movies.erotica.
This is again the same attitude of total contempt for the porn consumer. Just cause we like to jerk off they think they can just swindle us.
Just because you don't like a title it does'nt mean it's bad. Obviously you liked it enough to buy three volumes of the series. I apologzie in advance if you did not like it, but it was not done by the Anarchy's directors. It was done by John Yuma. Anarchy and Python have produced different lines that are enjoyed by many consumers. For example: London Shaggers 1-6, Anal Fever 1-5, Perverted POV, Creamed 1-2, Twisted, Pop That Cherry1-5, and No Cum Spitting which all became best sellers in a few days. So, we have different lines of movies that can appeal to different people. The title Creamed we have released eight months a go and it still sells like crazy. always remember, one man's garbedge is another man's treasure. If you don't like the Virtual line, don't buy it. We producing this line for one reason only, that the people who like the Twins, Shayla, Christi, Cytherea, and Olivia can have something fun and interactive to watch.
And to you Mlyons, you are like Simone from American Idol, you just like to slam movies.
I personally think that within a year in business, Anarchy Films came along way. Look at our first ever production " Internal Explosion" and take a look at "No Cum Spitting" It is sitting as of today at number 12 on the charts, chilling with RedLight and Vivid. And it is only one week out. Take a look at the "Anal Life", take a look at Creamed 1 and 2, take a look at "Perverted POV". After you have seen those movies, than you can form an objective opinion.
You know what Tritone, e-mail me your address I'll ship you screeners from those movies. If you don't like them, you can slam my company as much as you want. But, if you like them, you own me an opology.

To be clear, I only bought the Shayla & Olivia one. The others were rentals. But you're right -- shame on me for expecting any improvement.So what? You distribute the film and therefore are responsible for accurately telling us what the content of the movie is. The video isn't even close to being "virtual".no argument there.It's interactive -- I'll give you that. It's got the menus with the different acts you can choose. Does that explain why there are no POV shots or Multi-angles (as stated on the box cover).
When you slap the word "Virtual" on a box, there is a certain expectation by the consumer based on past products. We are thinking -- "Point of View Sex", perphaps multi-angle, etc.
I am just dissapointed because I thought these products would appeal to me based on the descriptions and they have failed miserably. It is obvious this was just an attempt to captialize on the success of "Virtual" and POV sex discs without doing the work to actually make a flick like this.
I have no beef with people liking your other discs. I am just out to warn fans of the deceptive marketing of these "My Virtual" DVDs.
Huh? :) I think you must have me confused with someone else... I try to be very even handed when I hand out criticism.
You can get defensive if you like, but I found a lot to like about Cytherea's disc and I said as much above. However:
The box advertises multiple angles -- Unless you count non-POV angles in a sequential fashion that the viewer has no control over, the DVD format's multi-angle feature was not utilized.
The box advertises POV sex -- It does offer that to some degree, and I understand the need for virtual discs to cheat the POV angle at times in the interest of seeing the girl better, but without true-multi-angle, the viewer had no control over whether he/she is seeing POV or not. This is certainly not a trait of the "virtual sex" genre.
The box advertises a "personal lap dance" -- I don't remember there being anything of the kind, unless you count a very brief section of the bonus scene, but there was nothing virtual or personal about it.
The box advertises a POV Bonus scene -- I loved the bonus scene for my own reasons, but there was absolutely nothing POV about it.
Again, and I'll say it multiple times if I have to. I LIKED the disc, I LOVE Cytherea, but as an entry into the virtual sex genre it's sadly lacking, and I don't believe any gripe I made in my original post was unfounded. Where you come up with the idea that I just like to slam movies is beyond me.
I'm glad you're posting here, and watching the forums, but please understand I'm not attacking you personally, nor is tritone even with his strong language in the thread title. We're simply pointing out flaws in the discs we've seen that we don't want other people to fall victim to. It's our right as consumers. Defensiveness about this kind of thing isn't going to help you. Going out and making it better will.
It's just my opinion, maybe another consumer who liked it will come on and refute my points. I'm all for it. That's what we're here for. :)

OREN,
Regarding MLyons, he is one person that hands out comments in one of the most even handed manners - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
When we first came out with the virtual line, we tried to do something different than the other companies. We tried to do something fun and different. Most people liked it and I did't get any complaints. Truley, we are always trying new things and try to push the envelope further and further. Obviously we want and welcome repeat customers. I talk to John Yuma and explained to him what the consumer wants and needs. Again, those DVDs were made for the fans and give them the chance to be a step closer to their favorite stars.
I appriciate your guys input and I'll do anything I can to deliver Quality over Quantity. Input is always welcome. I know that there are hundred companies out there and I am thankful that consumers choose Anarchy over some one else.
Thank you again for your input,
Oren Anarchy/Python

I like it when studios try new things. Some of them work, and some of them don't.
... and you will get comments from all sides of the spectrum.
