However, it should also be pointed out that, despite the exodus, Elegant Angel survived and is now doing quite well. Provided Chris and Gregg plan to continue with Ana/Dia, I'm sure that Ana/Dia will survive and eventually do quite well, also.

Jean Yves Lecastel all the way!

hey, does sean micheals still appear in anabolic movies? upcomming or currently new ones?

[Link]

Which is to say, if they keep Everhard, they won't have too many worries. And from a glimpsing a new clip from John Strong's new line "Double Stuffed" on the pay site, with lithe and willing Ander undergoing exactly the process implied in the title, I think if the "reputed Russian mobster" sticks around, they have no fear of slipping away from the muscular and thrusting "house" style.

Just get 'em out on DVDs now ... fellas ... "Sweet Cheeks 3," the new "Nasty NYmphos," .... I wanna buy 'em while their fresh! BUt I really want to get 'em on DVD.

As of today, Erik Everhard and Anabolic have parted ways. It was amicable and cordial.

Erik is a good friend and he'll be leaving for a Euro trip in a couple of weeks to plow through some foreign broads abroad.

I hope he doesn't visit with a certain Evil Vegetarian because the Soy Burger munching guy makes me want to puke.

We'll see what the future holds for Erik and I wish him the best.

Question for you, Mr. Wang. Who owns www.lukeford.com, you or Chris Alexander (or someone else)?

Erik, good luck man! I'll find you wherever you end up. Hopefully some place good for yourself like Evil or RLD!

Tricia, Dion - Get a move on you two! There's a great director up for grabs!

Thanks Dion.

I only buy Evil Angel now, and a few select series (ie: Mason's Dirty Trixx). A/D is history, my friends.

Even if I wanted the type of linear action A/D provides, I would rather get Red Light District. But even they are pretty dumb, their stuff is high quality, but I don't like them since they ripped all their ideas off A/D. I can't support that lack of originality.

That's why I only buy Evil Angel. Saves me lots of $$$ and headaches on deciding what to get!

The only way A/D will survive is if they make a deal with John Thompson to release GGG movies here. That will put them back on top. I would buy those in a second... book it!

[Link]

There must be something going on with this. How can they lose practically ALL their male performers/directors in a two week span and still stay in business???

There is definitely going to be some hell of a shake-up depending on where all these guys go. Very interesting to watch it all unfold and hopefully the consumer will reap the rewards!

Regarding Red Light District Video becoming an even bigger player in the industry, here's what I meant. In some respects, RLD has been stronger than Ana/Dia ever was, such as in releasing their movie lines on schedule and with dual VHS/DVD releases. RLD also consistently showcases fresh talent, whereas Ana/Dia too often recyles the same women. RLD shoots scenes and then gets their movies released in a timely fashion. Ana/Dia shoots scenes and sometimes has them sitting on the shelves for a year or even longer. In my opinion, RLD, generally speaking, has been more responsive to what their fans want than Ana/Dia has been.

Now, RLD has already added the great Lexington Steele to their stable of directors (and will also have him as a performer). If RLD were to also add Erik Everhard and Mike John to the talent pool they already have, in addition to the other things that I mentioned (as well as things I didn't mention), then all of that would begin to alter the balance of power among the gonzo studios. Yes, in the short term, Evil Angel will continue to reign supreme, but that could change over time. Dion has been proving himself to be quite the visionary business executive and deal maker. It also helps that his vision is not clouded by egotism (Dion is very humble and not in the least bit full of himself). Nor is he greedy. I see Dion eventually taking RLD to a higher level than what anyone can currently imagine.

Also realize, Ramsey, that, unlike you, many people already prefer RLD to Evil Angel (or at the very least, hold them in equally high regard).

In that interview that Chris Alexander just gave, he tried to paint a rosy picture of Ana/Dia, stating that there was no internal strife. Well, it's quite a fantastic coincidence for one big, happy family to lose four of its top directors all within a span of (what?) one-to-two weeks without any internal problems. It seems like Chris was doing some pretty serious spin control.

BTW, where's Cal444? Has he left, also? And regarding the Wanker, I get the impression from reading Wanker Wang's recent posts, that he himself seems apprehensive about the things going on at Ana/Dia (and he is their webmaster).

M.B. and Tom, great observations. More and more porn fans are forsaking VHS. Thus, if a studio doesn't have its act together as far as dual VHS/DVD releases on a regular and predictable schedule (with pristine DVD transfers), that doesn't bode well for its bottom line. VHS is well on its way out (look at what's been going on with the major rental chains like Blockbuster Video?). Tom, Devil's Films does have a website. At one time it was a pay site. But now it's just an information site.

Extreme killed themselves when they waged a war on AVN, this is business, if no one knows about you, you're fucked. I hate to see Tommy Byron, go down with Rob Hack, but friendship and loyality may have blinded him. The only thing people are saying about Extreme, is that they suck, nothing much good has been said since the whole fued with AVN.

Ana/Diabolic still have some life in them, sure losing some major players is hard, but this should serve as an eye opener for them to listen to fans, and even directors. Mike John, Erik Everhard, and even Jon Dough, have their names to back them up so they shouldn't have trouble finding new homes. But for four big, almost forgot about Lex, players to be leaving in only a short amount of time, Ana/Diabolic should examine it's current state.

As far as the Anabolic/Diabolic disaster, I just hope that Red Light District and Evil Angel can pick up the slack. I think the fact that Cal444, hasen't responded on this board really shows the level of chaos going on over there. Either Cal is gone too, or he is too shell shocked to reply. Oh and as for Christopher Alexander, he is not giving us the whole picture. It is blatently obvious that the situation over at Anabolic/Diabolic is entirely out of control.

[Link]

First Lex, then Mike, and now Erik. Lex is the man, Mike is the human tripod, and Erik is the double everything champ.

Well A/D still has lots of new scenes for new releases and they should release them in an orderly, timely manner. Now is not the time to hold back on releases because the lack of visibility for a few weeks or months will be deadly. A/D should be more considerate to the fans instead of disagreeing with fans when A/D screws up. They need to hire the following in order of importance: 1) Better production managers, 2) Better scheduling managers (if not covered by the production manager), 3) New Directors, and 4) Cute, new, and do everything babes. They need to utilize the web for free promotion -- they were one of the first to do it and had they releases posted way in advance and could always keep the release dates, and then within the last 1 or 2, they got lazy and did not upgrade the site often and could not meet the release dates (and pissed fans off). With Wanker taking over as webmaster, things got a bit better but the release date problem was still not resolved. A/D must think of growth and simultaneous releases. They should not squander the goodwill they have built up over the past. They still make some good hardcore, but the competition is getting better. Heck even Skeeter is making good double everything titles and without Bridgette. RLD and EA make good stuff, and new players are coming on board including Anarchy, Mayhem, Subvision, and others. Existing players like Sin City, Devil, and WestCoast are also getting better. Anal Excursion 4 from Metro if it comes out soon will get the jump on A/D with Melanie's first dap.

Ignoring fan's feedback and claiming that it is my way or the highway is not the best way to maintain goodwill. I wish A/D well but they need to change their ways and be more responsive to fans, directors, and others.

Hope Erik signs with Red Light or Evil
Angel. 2 Solid "Gonzo" video companies.

Maybe A/D can turn it around by being
bought out by another "more stable"
company. This happens all the time in
the real business World & why can't
it happen in the Porn World.

[Link]

I do. I've heard all the rumors and let me squelch them right here. The site has no affiliation with Anabolic, VCA, AVN, whatsoever.

It is run by three bonafide morons ... my, myself, and me. And me posts there as me sees fit.

[Link]

Instead of putting new scenes in the paysites, A/D should put more effort into getting the damn titles out asap in simultaneous formats. If they want to put out prerelease clips, it should be freebies in the free site.

By the way, where in the world is Cal444?

[Link]

What?What?Oh,thank god,it..it was all a terrible dream.
Oh,what a nightmare,I dreamt that RLD had assimilated some of the best director/performers in the biz like a pornographic Viacom and they were turning out good product but they all insisted on SHOOTING THEIR DP'S IN QUARTER ANGLE!And everyone agreed this was a good thing amid shouts of "hell I don't want to see some guys' sweaty ass in the way"and "If 2 cocks are rubbing together anyway,hell just rent some gay porn"

Oh it was terrible,and Pontus,you were there,and you too RonK.

Suddenly, the bottom of the flying pig opened up like a trap door. Thousands of pornographic VHS tapes and DVDs began pouring down like acid rain. But the DVDs hit the ground looooooong after the VHS tapes did. OINK! OINK! bellowed the giant pig, its sound splitting my ear drums.

Then, I saw four tiny piglets parachute out of the wobbly, giant, flying pig. The piglets seemed meaty and desirable to cattle ranchers standing off in the distance, who were anxiously watching the piglets float down to earth, while moving closer to catch them.

Next, seemingly hundreds of checks began pouring out of the bottom of the giant flying pig, which still just couldn't fly straight no matter how hard it tried. The checks fluttered down, down, down and then began bouncing as they hit the ground. It seemed that practically every check bounced. OINK! OINK! shrieked the giant pig, its sound by now almost completely deafening me.

Then, abruptly, I woke up in a cold sweat, dismayed at what had just happened. Was it a dream? Was it real? What did it mean? Was the dream symbolic?

I got up out of bed, made myself a cup of tea, turned on the t.v., and tried to settle my nerves by watching late night infomercials until the dawn of the new day.

I managed to get to the front and got some ejaculated rectangular objects coming out of the great stallion in the sky, and saw that these were nice little boxes. I opened some boxes and saw some shinny disks inside. The boxes had pretty pictures at the back and different boxes had different themes. All had naked women in various sexual positions with naked men, but some seemed destined for couples and others were more hardcore. Some pictured double vaginal and others double anal. There were a few -- grasp choke, wheeze - triple anal and triple vaginal. Other pictures were of the romantic sort with soft bunny cuddly sex between loving couples, nice and pretty and friendly for all. I was wondering about the significance of the shinny disks when I heard the crowd crying, "VHS is dead, long live DVD." Another round of chants broke out and this time the message in the chant was, "One Company to bring them all, One Company to buy them all, One Company to produce them all, in the land of freedom for everyone regardless of taste, race, or face."

I struggled to determine the significance of the message. What does the pumped up, steroid using day horse signify and who is the impish creature? I also wondered about the strange chants at the end. What do the messages signify? Maybe and just maybe, the message connected to the future of entertainment of the adult sort.

What's strange in all of this is
we all know the talented ones
that took off from A/D: Lex,
Jon, Mike, & Erik but there's
no word on any signings of
any new directors on A/D's part.

Everybody seems to forget that some of the nastiest shit she did was with extreme. she did her first DP their and then many followed ,she also started doing multiple guys their I seem to remember sole-survivor where she was dped by five guys in that scene. Also I don't believe Jessica swallowed cum at all until she began at extreme then she did it numerous times. So lets give Jessica some encouragement because if she makes her new days at extreme like her old and possibly even better I will be fucking happy. Plus if extreme gets off their asses and starts releasing new shit on quality dvd transfers who knows we may all sing a different tune 3 months from now. Just a fucking opinion after further consideration........

[Link]

Their basic business strategy to start the regrowth process, now that Jess is back on board, would have to consist of these two essentials:

1. Petition the U.S. Treasury for the right of Extreme Associates to print their own money for business expansion.

2. Crawl over to Adult Video News, fall at Paul Fishbein's feet and grovel, eat 10,000 miles of crow, and pay in advance for monthly advertising in AVN until the year 2046.
