Seems like I bitch a lot on this forum, so I thought I'd give some credit for something positive for a change. Just about every scene I've watched with Brian Pumper lately has kicked ass. I just saw "Brian Pumper's Pink Pussycats 3". If you like Angela Crystal you have to see it. An incredibly LONG anal scene, perfectly captured with extended medium-distance shots. The RAC is picture perfect and there's lots of nice, unhurried gape shots that reminded me of earlier Assman scenes but with a much hotter girl.
Pumper does what Tom Byron always did so well--camera awareness. He keeps his body out of the way and shows off the girl. Plus he's hung like a donkey and stays rock hard.
Other scenes he was good in: 18 and Interracial 6 Little White Slave Girls 3 (with Lucy Lee)
I just thought the same. He's really delivering great work all the time. I think Jules should use him more frequently since he can't work with Lex any more. Mandingo was a real disappointment, he's got a big dick, but his performance was absolutely lacking in "Once You Go Black...". It almost seems to me as if he is too big for the girls . Jules, is there any slim chance for you to work with Lex again?
Yep, contract issues. Lex stated that he'll work only for his own company (Mercenary Video) and Redlight District. Then, correct if I'm wrong, Dion made a contract with Platinum X, making several male performers (including Lex) exclusive to Redlight and Platinum X. I don't think it's good to lock away all the good male performers, but it's business.
Aaron0617-Yeah, why do they refuse to work with Brian Pumper. I thought Amee Donovan's scene with him went well in Flesh Hunter 4, as well as Julie Night's scene in World Class Ass 2.
Angela also does an IR scene with Sledge Hammer in Volume #6 of his series. I agree with everyone on Brian Pumper. His series is pretty good. Although he could use a better tailor.
Aaron0617-Hey, I read those links. Wow, that shit is crazy. I thought he was one of the best male porn stars today. I wouldn't have thought much of it if it had just been one girl who didn't want to work with him for personal reasons, but that is 4 different girls, and all pretty big names. The thing about lying with the STD results is pretty fucked up. I wonder if someone will be able to confirm that at some point.
Then it sounds like the differences that Amee has had with both Brian and Steve probably took place during the shooting of Flesh Hunter #4, where she performed with both Brian and Steve (and John Strong).
Curious minds are wondering what happened during that scene but I know industry people don't want to let fans know the bad things that goes on behind the scenes, only the good things. I think that's pretty unfair because it's us fans who are keeping the industry alive by buying their products.
It was nothing really bad. I don't know about Brian, but I was talking to Amee Donovan before the scene and asked her what she likes and what not. She told me that she doesn't kiss guys. Of course I accepted it but I also said that for me kissing is some of the best things in porn. After that she refused to work with me once but did a scene with me three days later.
I never ask with whom I will shoot, and maybe I come to one set in the future and will end up with Amee again. I have nothing particularly against her, but she is also not one of my favorites.
