I know this is heracy(SP), but I think a lot of companies and directors have gotten complacent. The angles aren't as clear or inventive as they should be, the positions are ordinary, and the (male) talent is lack luster.

Almost every box cover I see has Steve holmes on it. Brandon is doing good work as usual, but he's not appearing in as much of his own stuff as he used to. Jules is appearing too much of his own stuff.

As for the women, I'm happy that they're importing German talent, but where are the Koreans, the south Asians, the Africans even. I know the logistics of what I'm asking isn't easy, but above average profits and recognition go to those that take chanes. Then again that's the problem isn't it, porn is such that even those who don't take chances can be profitable (Rodney Moore, Ed Powers, etc.).

I don't want shock value necessarily, we don't need another Extreme Associates. What we do need are folks willing to go out there and deliver a middle America Pro/Am blowjob tour, I want to see Mr. Marcus rampaging through South Korea. I'd love some South African porn although the AIDS testing alone would blow anyone's budget out of the water.

I have enough Rocco (sratch that, there's never enough Rocco), RLD, WCP, etc. to last me well into the decade. I think producers need to stop playing it so safe and at the very least bring some of the good amateurs that are out there to the forefront. You might think everyone wants to see glamour babes, but a regular chick that can deepthroat and take a sizable cock in the ass would be a refreshing change. If that regular babe just happens to be in Bombay, then so much the better.

What do you think?

My guess is that you are not so much bored with porn as much as you are jaded. You've seen it all, we've all seen it all. There's only so much you can expect from the miniscule budgets afforded for the average porn production.

The the Independent Spirit awards, the "not so bad when you consider the budget" award was restricted to films produced for under $500K.

No one making an independent spirit movie had to pay 5 or 6 girls a grand each to do anal :)

And under $500K was their "nice try" catagory! You could pay 20 girls a grand a piece for anal and you still wouldn't make a dent in the budget of a typcial indie feature.

To be honest I don't think many performers are that attractive. Most are actually pretty ugly! We need some more Monica Sweethears :D

Hey, how's it going,

I understand your points but don't necessarily share your views. Just because Steve Holmes keeps popping up in stuff is no reason for me to dislike the tapes he is in. In fact, I don't necessarily care at all about male performers as long as they perform well and are not Nick Manning. Side-point: I fucking can't stand Nick Manning but nevermind that. Except for certain legend-status guys like Lex and Rocco and Byron who I was excited to see paired with my favorite girls I don't care too much about the male performers just so long as they can perform. It's the female performers and perhaps the female audience who should care about them.

There is a massive amateur market out there. It's called the internet and 90% of it is full of porn. In that 90% there is bound to be amateur girls in vids and dvds for sale like you are looking for. I understand wanting people like Mike Quasar (only using him since he posted here all ready) or whoever to go and find these girls. Well, that sort of all ready happens. Peter Romero of www.povporn.com is a talent agent/scout who does exactly that. Current beauty Jennifer Luv was discovered by him as she was putting in an application at an OfficeMax and luckily her mom was a nurse so she had her tests with her and next thing you know she's filming her first porn scene with Romero for his website later that day. However, Romero and people like him only do so much. They do not indeed scout Bombay or Kansas (Tyler Houston is the only pornstar I have ever heard of being from KS...my homestate) or whatever illogical place because they don't have to. There is no incentive to do so when European girls are in easy supply for road trips and LA girls (both native and girls who moved to LA to get into porn) are on easy supply.

It just kind of sounds like you are looking for something new and right now porn just ain't giving it to ya'. I, however, am really excited about a lot of the girls right now and have never been to big on foreign talent with the occassional exception like Scotti Andrews and Zora Banks. Porn is fine to me right now.

Any of us who have watched porn long enough can probably relate to how you feel. When you watch enough porn eventually it all looks the same and you can become jaded. I would recommend seeking out some of those "real women" you were talking about in amateur vids that are readidly available all over the net. Those can seem much more exciting after watching one too many formulatic Red Light District tapes.

I too wish Brandon Iron would appear in more movies. He's excellent both as director and performer.
