I've heard about a TV show about two rivaling porn dynasties, but that was quite a few years ago and probably never got past the pilot. So: has there ever been a place for the porn business as part of a motion picture or TV drama? Cheers, Alb [Link] |

Still, it is about the industry to an extent. Kind of related: The People vs. Larry Flynt. I know it's about the magazine, primarily, but really I would say it speaks to the industry as a whole, and a lot of the issues we're dealing with in politics/art at the moment. It's also really good - right up there with Boogie Nights, in my opinion. [Link] |

| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Aug 28 2009 : 8:36PM My personal favorites are: HARDCORE FALLEN ANGELS (a doc.) LES PORNOCRATS (doc.) CHANGES (doc.) SKIN-FLICK (an XXX feature about the XXX industry that's far more accurate, realistic, and depressing than anything made by Hollywood) [Link] |

There are loads of docs on porn, one of the best on the feature-era in the 70s is part of the Pornography: A Secret History of Civilization series, from the BBC I believe, that has a section called Twentieth Century Foxy that is terrific: with interviews with Alex De Renzy, Henri Pachard, John Leslie, Marilyn Chambers, Georgina Spelvin, etc. [Link] |

I was suggesting that the only movies about such smutty subject matter that get Oscar nods are a) made by "prestigious" directors, and/or b) get nominations to show how edgy the academy is (and then don't win), hence Robin Williams winning Best Supporting Actor instead of Burt Reynolds (still a thorn in my side). And, finally, I was also thinking about how a prestigious director can "lower" themselves to treating such subject matter, thereby "elevating" the material to academy level, as well as make us applaud said director (who I really like, by the way, so this isn't a criticism of him - the movie is great). Meanwhile, the great porn directors go unacknowledged (publicly, at least).Edit: messed up my emoticon. How ironic. Edited by - Gore Gore Girl on 8/29/2009 2:11:25 PM [Link] |
