As I mentioned in chat a few weeks ago, I've been adding a few more gay titles to my sadly old collection.

Since I hadn't seen a Kristian Bjorn DVD yet, that was high on my priority list. I've watched the first scene so far, and it was really great. Which is saying a lot for me, since I tend to prefer the American gay guys over the Euro gay guys.

As we all know, gay titles are really expensive, so I don't buy a ton. Well, I recently discovered that people are selling their watched DVDs on ebay for very reasonable prices. I got Thick as Thieves in very good condition for $24. They also had Heat (uncensored) from Titan listed. But I lost the auction which ended at $35, which was still a bargain.

Congratulations, Tricia! You did get a bargain on that, I think. I know I paid $29.71 for my unused copy of Thick as Thieves that I picked up during GayDVDEmpire's sale last September.

It's funny that you mention it, because I was just thinking about pulling my copy out and watching it again this weekend.

Speaking of old gay porn, I cashed in some Kickbacks credits and now have The Wakefield Poole Collection on the way. I know it wasn't one of jb69's favorites, but I'm still looking forward to it and will hopefully have time to write a review before the end of summer.

Thick as Thieves is still my all-time favorite gay porn title. The final scene is a scorcher (as if the others aren't)! And, Trish, I bought it when it first came out at $60! And I still consider it to be worth the price!

The Wakefield Poole Collection is fantastic as a page from history. Some of the material still works quite well and some shows its age terribly. Regardless, the 2-disc set is well worth owning.

GS: Where would you rate Manwatcher and Gangsters at Large in relation to Thick as Thieves? IMO, Kristen Bjorn really hit his stride in the time period of these videos. The only KB DVD I own is Comrades in Arms, which I like except for the emphasis on Marko Nagy, but I'd like to add another title.

Hi Tricia! If you still looking for Heat, Titan is having a sale right now on a combo of the Hardcore versions of Heat and Trespass both for only $79!

Or, you can get the same thing thru TLAVideo.com for $89.99. If you sign up for TLA's email newsletter, they are constantly sending out coupons for %10 off, or free shipping, so it might be cheaper to go thru TLA than directly from Titan, since Titan charges an arm and a leg to ship stuff (my copy of Woodsman cost $8 to ship!)

joe - these are 2 that I haven't been able to successfully win on ebay, so I think I'll go ahead and get them on TLA.

Thanks for the heads up!!!! (And if I were a guy, that would definitely be an intended pun!) [....groan...]

Have you finished watching Thick as Thieves yet? What did you think if it? Especially, what did you think of the final scene?

It is difficult for me to make a short list from all Kristen Bjorn titles - every one of them is, at the very least, good. (And Bjorn's merely "good" is often better than California's best!) Here's my list - subject to change, based on my mood:

  1. Over the top - 5+ stars
    • Isle of Men

    • ManWatcher

    • Thick as Thieves - my all-time favorite
  2. Exceptional - 5 stars
    • Amazon Adventure

    • Anchor Hotel

    • Comrades in Arms

    • Crossroads of Desire

    • Gangsters at Large

    • Hot Times in Little Havana
  3. Excellent - 4.5 stars
    • Caracas Adventure

    • Caribbean Beat

    • Carnival in Rio

    • Dreamers

    • Island Fever

    • Manhattan Latin

    • Montreal Men

    • Mystery Men

    • Vampire of Budapest

    • World of Men
  4. Very good - 4 stars
    • Call of the Wild

    • Hungary for Men

    • Jungle Heat

    • Paradise Plantation

    • Wet Dreams 1

    • Wet Dreams 2
  5. Good - 3.5 stars
    • Jackaroos

    • Manly Beach

    • Sailor in Sydney
    I think these last three, Bjorn's Australian trio, are my least favorites mostly because they are more like American gay porn than his other titles. However, they still have the Bjorn flavor and are extremely good.

I know, I know!

Make you a deal - you come over and babysit little Belly for a couple of hours while I sneak off and finish the DVD properly.

LOL! I'd love to! I love children. Unfortunately, I'm several thousand miles away on the right coast (DC). ~ GS

Hi All,


Thick As Thieves is a great film. The star, Arpad?, is a beautiful man, and the last scene where he is matched with another looker sizzles. It's nice to see a scene where both men are hot and really get to go at it.

GS-
OK. Finally had time to finish the movie.

Well, you're right. I thought the last scene was the best. Followed closely by the paint scene. I liked these best because they weren't huge group scenes that seemed more impersonal. Also, lots of kissing was a big plus for me.

I can't say that I liked this better than some of the better Titan movies I've seen, although there were many pluses.

I liked: nice production values, guys with looks that closely match my tastes, letting the guys speak in their native languages which helps for more natural acting - then subtitling instead of dubbing. Also, strong sex all-around.

I didn't like so much: I didn't understand why they switched rooms at least once or more in pretty much every sex scene.
Every guy was rock-hard the second we saw his dick for the first time. I'd prefer to see them sometimes start semi-hard, and work up to hard quickly, but within the context of the scene.
In the first scene, it goes from clothed open-pants blowjobs, then cuts immediately to the whole group completely naked. Not horrible, but I like to see a transition from foreplay to sex.

So all in all, I thought it was very solid, and I will most likely watch another Kristen Bjorn DVD at some point.

But I took joeblow's advice and got Heat and Trespass from TLA, and it will probably take me at least a couple weeks to watch those, along with Absolute Arid and Absolute Aqua that I got on the same order.

Tricia,

You certainly have chosen a fine selection of videos to represent the major players in gay porn.

I agree with all your comments on Kristen Bjorn, especially about the over-reliance on group settings. More than one of Bjorn's models have stated in interviews that they prefer the group scenes. I think it's because it seems less "gay" to them, especially the Eastern European models, nearly all of whom profess to be straight. But that doesn't mean they are not capable of very erotic one-on-one scenes or that Bjorn is incapable of capturing those types of scenes, as the finale to Thick As Thieves shows.

I think you will like the second scene in Heat, as well as Anthony Lafont's scene with Lane Fuller in Absolute: Aqua. Let us know what you think!
