Evil Angel, I'll give you that. But if someone is arguing about bisexual content on kink.com they might need to check their IQ points. Look at the URL of the website!!! If you don't understand that it would cater to ALL sexual orientation, fetishes and ... "kinks" then again there's something wrong with your understanding of sexuality. First step for those folks would be to get a dictionary!
Speaking of hyperbole I said that I've noticed a trend (a direction in which something is developing or changing). Bi/gay content isn't "all around us" yet but can you seriously sit there and say that there isn't a lot more of it now mixed in with hetero porn than there was say 5 to 10 years ago? Mile High Media is another major porn company that has gone the route of trying to make bi/gay porn more mainstream. I won't argue whether this trend is good or bad as I believe everyone deserves options. Financially as far as revenue for porn companies such as Evil Angel are concerned I could see their incentive to attract more customers. Bisexual men are being targeted and female porn viewers are usually less homophobic. "Twist Your Head Around; It's All Around You"
Interesting use of homophobic. Didn't realize not watching bi/gay porn constitutes homophobia. I think think the term you are looking for is sexual fluidity. Edited by - danthepornfan on 7/31/2017 12:15:01 PM

I take these info and do some fast maths, to sum it up EA pushes it in the wrong direction.
You're not wrong, but I disagree with brazzers being better than evil angel. I'll always take evil angel scenes any day over the photoshopped looks of brazzers scenes. Evil Angel scenes feel more natural and realistic IMO, although I agree it can improve tho. I'm thrilled by the new girls and women we've seen throughout 2017. I've enjoyed this year for scenes much better than last year. Edited by - drdd75 on 7/31/2017 2:02:59 PM

I so miss the days of EA being my go to company for DP and gangbang, now its mostly plain anal
^ &1 I used to get a good 80% of their releases 10 years ago, but that number as come down drastically. IF John ever does another full length feature I hope he uses Angela White. I was hearing that Psychotic Behavior was a feature, but the trailer wasn't impressive in the least.
Personally I think EA is great value for money given the sheer volume of scenes available and the always consistent updating. Sure days can go by without something I want to view being released but the same will happen on Brazzers, HardX and Kink. When EA was as great as everyone says it was back in the day it was a different business. There was less competition for the best directors, fewer people having they're own websites and far fewer catering to the more hardcore fetishes that EA does.

So what the hell is going on at Evil Angel? All of the directors whose work I was interested in other than Darkko are gone now, and they've replaced them with Jessy Jones and Lisa Ann? That's about as vanilla as it gets. Have they fallen on hard times financially or is this an intentional creative shift? I don't get it.
^ Agreed. Losing Adriano has to hurt. A year ago I stopped downloading the BAM Visions stuff from EA because it had more footage if I download it from the BAM site. Same as with Bryan Gozzling's stuff at EA. Those scenes have things cut out at EA, no doubt due to the fact that EA also packages them as DVDs to sell to people who still collect them.

I'm waiting to see what the Lisa Ann and Jessy Jones content looks like, but right now I'm leaning towards not renewing for the year even though I have an exceptionally low rate. My issue is that I really don't care for most of the evil angel directors these days. It seems like the content is overwhelmingly aimed at satisfying various fetishes, whereas what I like is more or less vanilla-esque porn. The most fetishy I get is that I like high heels, no bush, and a bit of a male dominant vibe (though not truly rough or anything). In other words, I'm pretty fucking boring. Porn Pros content on their network of sites is very much my style. But my annual rate is low enough that I could very well stick with them if the Lisa Ann and Jessy Jones content is decent. Also, I wish scenes were available at higher bit rates.

I think the problem is unlike the core unit that build EA it's now a group on content creators that are only using the name to distribute. When Jules left, they started to backfilled his catalog with a host of directors that burned out with nearly every other studio distributor in town. Sites like Brazzers, Bang Bros and Reality Gang are putting out better content and all of them could use stronger content as well.
Since the start of this topic... little has changed. Seeing the content of march I am disappointed again. No nasty 3-somes.. just one on one vanilla fucking. Last year was the worst year in Evil Angel history It seems the same mistake will be made as Elegant Angel. Once a great source for nasty stuff

No 4K content that I'm aware of. Bit rates for the stuff I download tends to be in the range of 7000 - 8500 kbps, occasionally a little higher or lower. I can tell you that on the BAM Visions thread, Claudio told me that higher bit rates were one of the reasons fans might want to subscribe to them directly, as opposed to getting their stuff through Evil Angel.
Seeing the upcoming releases at Evil Angel I have to bring this topic back to life. I think The Evil Angel empire is in ruins. Not one upcoming release that interests me. The only thing I like is lesbian or ffm 3-somes. The only thing thats available is the usual Rocco stuff and sometimes Lewood.... The times I eagerly awaited for new releases is definitly over Sorry to write this but John Stagliano lost its touch choosing new directors.. and the old directors aren't inspiring anymore Edited by - tintintin on 5/17/2018 12:38:23 PM

Im pretty disappointed in the lack of DP. I will say Filthy DPs is a good film and made me optimistic, then I saw a trailer for perverted DPs, no-one of the female talent seemed attractive to me, all the people who look "trendy" male or female look dirty to me, sooo tired of people thinking bald headed or shaved head, tattoos body women with a yucky bush are "hot". Look at their competitors, please EA spend a few dollars more on better looking talent and less "filler"

EA should try hiring more female directors and shooting more g/g. I'd also like to mention that I'm disappointed in Proxy Paige and her decision to betray g/g fans.
There does seem to be very little variety and directors with distinct styles when it comes to EA these days. They all seem to use the same performers and shoot the same kind of content.

^Everyone in the industry uses the same performers, more or less.
I still find Evil Angel a superb porn label. At least they make original content and doesnt have stupid "network porn sites" The downside is that some old titles are missing, and the quality of the scenes of the SD movies are very compressed and poorly encoded, I have DVDs of EvilAngel here of the same period where the quality is superior to those of their site Also, there are scenes that belong to old movies that they put on a compilation, I don't know why.

Erik Everhard - No motivation at all in movies, look at his face he's not even enjoying at all. He watches the clock to finish the movie.
LeWood - Look at his movies, very routine and boring. There is no difference in her movies, all are almost same. The final scenes are always same, he ejaculates the face of female performer. His cum is like water, very little and transparent. He can not even target the face in all movies, he targets sofa, chairs, pillows and etc.
Rocco Siffredi - I don't wanna write because he's really finished at all. He's a retired old man and he should go home and take after his grandchildren anymore.
Manuel Ferrara - I think he should retired as soon as possible. If you watch one movie of him, you don't need to wath the others because all are same with little differences.
I think Evil Angel is definitely past its prime, to the point that I wonder if they're trying to downsize or even close the studio in the near future.
They lost so many interesting directors in recent years. Some of them went to other studios, some of them retired, but none of them are being replaced by new and interesting alternatives.
They lost Manuel Ferrara to JJV years ago. Omar Galanti disappeared. Mike Adriano only publishes compilations from TrueAnal now, but he is more repetitive than ever. Jay Sin is still around in name only, but he only produces trans content and it's not actually him behind the camera. LeWood is competent, but boring. Bryan Gozzling is 100% not my style.
Proxy Paige has actually directed some good stuff, but a lot of her movies are super-focused on DP and DAP, which is not my thing when 90% of the scene is dominated by it. It leaves no room for any one-on-one intimacy. I will say her one-on-one scenes are generally very good. I'd like more of that, although I understand she may be concerned about how that will impact sales.
Nacho Vidal is okay as a lensman, but his production has almost no imagination and feels extremely cheap; he was always a better performer when he was working under other directors, and it's a real shame that he will not be able to do that anymore. I wish him the best, though... nobody deserves to live with the burden of HIV.
John Stagliano only makes weird vampire stuff.
Rocco will never leave EA because he has been a personal friend of John Stagliano for over 25 years, but the only thing he seems to make with passion now is his POV content, and I am not personally a fan of the POV shooting style. He is working with a lot more "agency models" now too, and his male talent is a revolving door of names that only seem to stay for a short time so he cannot train them properly, like he did with Kid Jamaica and Omar Galanti. The whole production seems less energetic and spontaneous compared to his glory days.
The only director still making interesting stuff is Aiden Riley, and only some of the time. It's enough to keep me checking the new releases every month, but it's not much. Chris Streams has potential, but he has not harnessed it yet... I will be watching his work closely.

I have Evil Angel membership since the end of 2014 and almost 4 years later I am disappointed with the catalog, just open the site right now:
Rocco is good you know, I like the European girls so ok, Proxy Paige first I was excited to see another female director since Belladona is out and Aiden Starr is focused on TS movies (It's not my thing but I have nothing against who likes or produces) but sorry, Proxy is just Legal Porno with EA brand and we already have 2 directors with european girls (maybe 3 with Erik Everhard?). Some compilations of old Mike Adriano movies I don't exactly know why, Lewood is nice but I think that he needs another guy in some scenes, Chris Strokes was good in the past or find another black guy to replace Dredd in IR movies, BAM Visions is good, they're use some good thematic "items" like pantyhose, dildos, costumes and my problem is with Mick, he's overused in a hundred sites and I'm tired of watching him. Chris Streams and Jonni are leaning on Markus Dupree too much (Anal Fuck Dollz and a dedicated movie called Fucking Markus lol) which I find sad and dont even think that he's great performer, at least Jonni surprises with good showcases. Bryan Gozzling is the only interesting "director" and Jessy Jone's movies is good but Evil Angel is not so "Evil" anymore.
How do you cancel your subscription to Evil Angel? I can't find anything on the site to let me do that.

^ I've found that the easiest way to cancel their membership is by chatting with a customer support representative through Fame Support's site. Here is the URL to access their chat feature: Fame Support - Here to help 24/7!
I was looking at the Evil Angel website, and I have to say that I too am disappointed. My major disappointment was in seeing that their videos keep using the same girls over and over again. Case in point, when looking through their catalog, I couldn't help but to notice that Abella Danger and Adriana Chechik are in just about every other movie that EA has put in the last couple years. With all the dozens of hot girls in porn, I just don't understand the reason to keep using the same few girls all the time. More variety in female casting would be great.

For the first time in a couple months, I purchased an Evil Angel membership last week. I have to say that the only thing on the site that appeals to me nowadays is the stuff from Jonni Darkko. On second thought, Bam Visions and LeWood puts out some stuff I enjoy, too. Chris Streams is putting out some stuff that's up my alley, although, for whatever reason, the visual quality of his scenes is awful. The other stuff does not interest me at all: Bryan Gozzling, Rocco Siffredi, Aiden Riley, Proxy Paige. One thing I'm especially not interested in are the scenes with Euro babes, many of whom are pornstars who appear on Legal Porno. If I had any interest in those girls, I'd purchase their scenes on LP rather than watching inferior scenes on EA.
So, while there's A LOT on Evil Angel that doesn't appeal to me, I figure all of Darkko's stuff alone will make the membership purchase worthwhile.
I don't intend any malice in what I'm about to say, but how does Bryan Gozzling stay in business? Who are his movies made for? Nobody seems to hold him up as one of EA's star talents, but his DVDs must be selling because he is one of their more active directors.
^He stays in business because he found a type of porn that has a fan base willing to pay for it. In his defense many of the things that he has in his videos have been popular for decades. Sadly for me is that he has things that I can't stand and therefore would never join his site or buy his movies because of that.
The fact that Bryan's video which are available on EA's site are significantly edited down and are still quite popular means that he knows what his fan base likes.
That's a good point, and for the record, I don't mean to talk shit about the guy. He makes the porn he wants to make and it generates solid income. More power to him. I guess I just don't understand why he has a new movie every month when his word of mouth seems to be so low-key, but guys like Jay Sin evidently struggle to sell their product, yet have much more vocal fans.
^I don't know if you are aware but Bryan has his own site where he updates with one new video every 5 to 7 days and basically uses EA as a distributor/promoter.

Adriana Chechik is the most attractive performer they have, but I too am tired of the anal and no DP movies, Im not interested in IR TS or heavily tatted up women, they have a few DP showcases but seem to use lower tier talent in them, do they pay less the other studios? say what you will about Tushy, they always have fresh and pretty talent. Am I the only guy out there interested in pretty blondes without tattoos doing DP and DPP? Double Trouble 2 by Rocco is coming out, Im hopeful I'll like it. Am I the only one out there that still buys dvds?
I prefer one-on-one scenes. DP isn't really my thing, and sausage fest scenes do not appeal to me at all. I am with you on the question of DVDs/Blu-rays, though. I still buy physical media pretty regularly. It never expires and the quality is just better. However, I don't buy them in mass quantities. 1-2 per month, and only the best.
TS content must be the primary revenue driver for Evil Angel, because it has increasingly become the main focus of the studio. I have no problem with that, but it doesn't interest me, so that unfortunately means the number of Evil Angel movies that appeal to me each month has gone way down from what it used to be.

^ Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that in my previous post...the regular TS content is yet another thing on EA today that doesn't interest me at all.
Let's be clear about one thing regarding EA. The days when they were an actual powerhouse porn producing studios is long gone. These days they are basically a distributing network of other producers work. Work that you can get directly from the source and in some cases unedited versions. That doesn't mean that EA should be disregarded because their main strength is still that you can get access to multiple sites porn in one location as opposed to joining half a dozen sites. In many ways EA sort of created the monster they have to deal with because many of their current producers used to basically only do content for them and over time they got so popular that they decided to produce content for their platform and also release it as well on EA's.
I'm less disappointed with the content that EA distributes and more resigned that this is the kind of stuff that makes them enough money to stay in business. So many of the people whose work I loved at EA are either retired or passed away that we are stuck with those that are still there.
With the exception of John Stagliano's movies, EA was never a production house. It was always a distributor for other people's work. As an example, Rocco's movies are not produced by EA, but by his company Rocco Siffredi Produzione. EA doesn't even hold the worldwide distribution rights to his films. Other companies like ATV are responsible for European distribution.

^^ I agree with you pat 100%. I think the moment Mike Adriano decided to do his own sites (for the better) it was completely done. The censoring of scenes from Bam Visions and Hookup Hotshots don't help either. It's sad to see the glory days of Evil Angel go, but porn always evolve in many different ways. Just have to deal with it. There's so many other sites & platforms at its peak where you can be entertained with high quality scenes.
