They should have gone with the design formulas mainstream movies have instead. The only customers buying this will be porn consumers and they might get disapointed. As I said earlier I like the idea though.

| wcw43921 Senior Member Look Into My Eyes-- 1252 Posts 4/08 | Posted - Aug 18 2009 : 3:03PM Honestly, why couldn't someone like Sean Michaels or Jack Lawrence play the lead in a show like Hung? They actually know what it's like to have a larger-than-average dick and use it to make a living. And I don't see why Nina Hartley couldn't have played Samantha Jones on Sex And The City as well as Kim Cattrall--heck, she might have played the role better. We need to get over the idea that the adult industry is some sort of show-business "ghetto" and those inside it must either stay in for the rest of their careers or "break out," never to return. Until we can do that, adult actors will never have the respect they (and we) feel they deserve, either from the mainstream entertainment industry or society as a whole. __________________________________________________________ "There can never be too many beautiful women Hypnotized for our pleasure."

| wcw43921 Senior Member Look Into My Eyes-- 1252 Posts 4/08 | Posted - Aug 28 2009 : 2:58AM What really bothers me are the porn fans who think porn stars can only do porn, and should only do porn. I remember back when Ebony Ayes still posted to her Yahoo! group, I posted a question where I said that I thought she was a decent enough actress to have a mainstream career if she wanted one, and did she ever consider acting in mainstream movies or TV. She answered "no," but I got two other guys who responded accusing me of being a suck-up. Come on now--I paid her an honest compliment, and here were these schmucks saying in effect she didn't deserve it. If they weren't admirers of hers, what were they doing as group members? Of course, the porn industry doesn't help much when it comes to dispelling the notion of itself as show business' "ghetto." Few casting directors are willing to hire an actress whose resume includes such stellar works as Cum Garglers #47 or Anally Mangled Vol. 356 or Desperately Depraved MILFs. She'd have better luck listing her appearance as a fake audience member in an infomercial. Additionally, turnabout is fair play--if porn stars get to cross over to mainstream, then mainstream stars should get to do porn. Thing is, while there are more than a few actresses I'd like to see having full-frontal sex on camera--Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jamie Pressly, Salma Hayek, Donna D'errico are the ones who come immediately to mind--I have to ask, who can do porn better than porn stars? Especially male porn stars--I'd like to see Brad Pitt or Will Smith try to maintain an erection under hot studio lights with a camera running. Anyway, Thank You again for agreeing with me.  __________________________________________________________ "There can never be too many beautiful women Hypnotized for our pleasure." [Link] |

| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Aug 30 2009 : 2:17PM This looks like what we call a "skinemax" movie. It's also DTV (direct to video), so it's definitely not getting the theatrical run THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE received. [Link] |
| Gore Gore Girl Doctor of the Erotic Arts 7238 Posts 1/09 | Posted - Aug 30 2009 : 2:46PM Most of all, though, it was really nice to watch actors and actresses who I enjoy performing in something with "real" actors, and still shining (also, what mainstream star is going to do what Veronica Hart did at the end of that movie?...awesome). Edit: wrote TGF for some unknown reason. I must want chicken fingers... Edited by - Gore Gore Girl on 8/30/2009 2:47:11 PM [Link] |

| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Aug 30 2009 : 9:37PM The only director who treated X rated actors like real actors in non-X rated films was Chuck Vincent. If you really wanna see Veronica Hart (under he real name, Jane Hamilton) do some fine acting, look no further than her remarkable performance in Vincent's 1987 thriller DERANGED (itself a fascinating film that's designed to flow almost like a play). Every other "mainstream" director who has hired X rated actors uses them either as a joke (like Kevin Smith in his awful "comedy" ZACH AND MIRI), or in a ridiculously small cameo appearance (like all of Ron Jeremy's "mainstream" credits). Even TGE, which I rather liked, uses Sasha Grey as an extension of herself in what could be viewed as a tongue in cheek casting decision. [Link] |

| Gore Gore Girl Doctor of the Erotic Arts 7238 Posts 1/09 | Posted - Aug 31 2009 : 10:58AM Aw, I liked One Eyed Monster. And I liked it because I felt like the movie had this weird integrity through being completely undignified but played straight. And I thought everyone did a good job, and it was fun. I also don't like it when porn stars try to "cross over" and often end up being made fun of, or used for very specific casting, as john pointed out. Still, if something comes along that isn't hardcore, and has a performer I like, I'm generally going to say "well done" and watch it - much like I would if it *was* hardcore. [Link] |

| ameelynn1980 Member 629 Posts 9/07 | Posted - Sep 4 2009 : 4:14PM Not sure that Sean Michaels or Jack Lawrence could bring as much to the table as you suggest. Male porn star isn't synonymous with male prostitute. For one, porn stars have a lot more of a choice about who they are "working" with than male prostitutes. And while penis size is usually what gets the main character in "Hung" through the door (proverbially-speaking), it seems to have little to do with how satisfied/dissatisfied his clients are with him, after the fact.

| wcw43921 Senior Member Look Into My Eyes-- 1252 Posts 4/08 | Posted - Sep 5 2009 : 12:58AM As for Sean Michaels--from what I can gather from his website and Wikipedia page, he hasn't done any escort work--but as I said before, he does have a large dick, and given the generally favorable comments of his females co-stars, he does know how to use it. So I ask again, why couldn't he play a character like that in a mainstream role? Nothing against Thomas Jane--I'm sure he's a good actor. My problem is with everyone who assumes that porn stars should only be porn stars. Let's not make that mistake here, please. ____________________________________________________________ "There can never be too many beautiful women Hypnotized for our pleasure." [Link] |

| wcw43921 Senior Member Look Into My Eyes-- 1252 Posts 4/08 | Posted - Sep 5 2009 : 5:19PM And once again, I don't see why porn stars, should be limited to doing only porn movies. ____________________________________________________________ "There can never be too many beautiful women Hypnotized for our pleasure."

| ppchaser Member 30 Posts 9/09 | Posted - Sep 23 2009 : 12:40PM i always thought that porn stars will have a hard time making it in the mainstream because.. well, for one thing, they're not trained actors. you know, those types that do some research into their roles and maybe get into method acting. they can study, of course. and, there's also the issue of typecasting. once you're in porn, producers are more likely to cast you as the gigolo or the slutty nurse, and never give you the serious roles. do you know of any ex porn star who got some success in the mainstream?
