I was watching some stuff with Brooke (http://www.searchextreme.com/actordetails/Brooke/79641406841/year) and at first I was surprised by how great her body/tits were in contrast to how bad her performance was... and then I realized it's not so much that she's simply bad... it's that she's honest and doesn't know how to "act"... and looking at it that way, her frowns and disinterested looks were actually very cool -- the few times she actually seemed aroused (a little) by the guy giving her head, you know at least she wasn't faking it.
So, with that in mind, who are the "worst actresses" in porn today, and what movies have they done where they actually seem mildly turned on (for real) or care about getting the guy off?
Kacey had (has?) an incredible bod and knew how to use it, but couldn't "act" her way out of a paper bag. Check out her bare minimal set-up scenes in Gangbang Girl or Fast Times at Deep Crack High .
Don't worry, I use IAFD as well (including the entry for Brooke) -- I linked to SearchExtreme just because they had a decent picture of her and I wanted to be clear on who I was referring to (the girl needs a more unique name than "Brooke" to work in this business!).
For the record, I have found:
SearchExtreme to be the best site for info on movies/scenes *that* *they* *have* in their database, and for finding scenes with certain content involving certain girls *that* *they* *have* in their database. In the case of Brooke, for example, SearchExtreme told me she's done a scene with John Strong that had a vaginal creampie (which I'm into) and him doing multiple pops (which I'm into).
IAFD has very complete filmographies along with fairly complete links to external reviews of movies -- in this case, I used IAFD to look up the reviews of the movie SearchExtreme listed above... and the review confirmed that John Strong pops first in her pussy and a second time on her tits.
Dr-Hardcore is very good for searching for girls that I don't know about but would like to discover... it has height/bust/waist/hips measurements along with weights, whether their tits are real, and often outright reviews of the girl -- her looks, her skills, what sort of scenes she's done, etc. Dr-Hardcore's entry on Brooke showed impressive body statistics along with complaints about what a "lousy fuck" she is.
Personally I'd like a search engine with the in-depth info on scenes that SearchExtreme has, the filmographies and review links IAFD has, and the performer stats that Dr-Hardcore has... all in one...
The other thing I'll clarify is, in addition to girls who "don't fake it" in the sense of overdoing her enthusiasm, I also just like it in general when the girl has a realistic reaction to fucking a guy porno-style. Brooke in particular obviously has little attraction to the losers she tends to get paired up with, and she has little interest in holding still so the camera can witness a guy jerking off until streams of semen finally land on her face or tits -- she has the reactions any "normal" girl should have in that situation.
Truth is, 99% of porn is a fantasy, and just because it's a pleasant-looking fantasy doesn't mean it's more appealing to me than a girl like Brooke that looks at the guy fucking her with an obvious "what a loser that I'd never date let alone suck the cock of" expression on her face, or who has that "do I really have to sit here waiting for this stupid shit" look while the guy is trying to jerk himself off at the end. Because, porn IS for the most part "stupid shit".
i just do not see the appeal of this. to me, porn stars are performers. why would i want to see a bad performer? i wouldnt want to listen to a bad singer, i wouldnt want to watch a shitty football team.
when i watch porn, the performers better damn well be acting sexy. thats their job.
i suppose it is more "real" if the girl lies there like she is bored meat. but so what? i got plenty of real in my life, i dont need to buy a DVD to see it
They have to look good having sex, standing around, moving/dancing, etc. But acting I'm not interested in. And some people like the "honest" side. Reminds them there are real people there and not realistic manikins.

only ugly people should have to act in porn.
how fucking insulting is it that some 19-year old girl is trying to convince you she ENJOYS FUCKING HERSCHEL SAVAGE?
It's all about the degree of fantasy vs. reality. Some space fans love to watch Star Trek show people exploring the galaxy in the 24th century... while other space fans like to watch Apollo footage of men walking on the moon in 1969. They both have their appeal.
Some people think it's more beautiful for a woman to have lots of makeup (applied to perfection) and every little wrinkle airbrushed from her pictures -- that's a fantasy -- the theoretical perfect looking woman. And I'm not knocking that -- I have a theoretical perfect woman in my mind and I like seeing women who approach that perfect fantasy.
However, there are also people who think it's more beautiful to see the woman that's really there... even if she's less beautiful without makeup and other help, they prefer to see real beauty that actually exists rather than fantasy beauty that we wish exists. This is what I tend to go for -- I like my women to be attractive even without makeup, rather than a gorgeous face only if she wears makeup and unattractive without it.
So, I like to see some of those genuine mannerisms and reactions from women in scenes. That doesn't mean they have a scowl on their face through the whole scene -- that's just a turnoff. But if she's got that "I'd rather be golfing" look through the cheesy parts of the scene and then looks aroused when the guy finally hits the right spot, I prefer that to the plastic smile and shouts of "oh yeah, fuck my ass! Fuck my ass!"
To me, the sexiest words are simple stuff like "wow, that feels... good..." as they are genuinely surprised they're enjoying themselves on camera.
I, for one, would like to see a complete end to the practise of acting in porn - it cheats the consumer of the most precious aspect of the whole experience. Do not be confused by the fantasy aspect, for while it may be a fantasy for the viewer, many of us base that fantasy on the reality of what is presented on our screen; the knowledge that it is a real person there who subjected herself to that ordeal, and for such relatively paltry financial reward. We should not be robbed of the chance to study the nuances of the subject's displeasure; every little grimace and cry contributes to the gratifying experience of violation-by-proxy.
A good performer isn't neccessarily one with a natural talent for, say, acting or singing, but someone who can use both their own strengths and weakness to create something memorable and distinctive. On any test of technical excellence Bob Dylan, for example, would have to be considered a poor singer, but he has harnessed his particular qualities (both good and bad) to create a unique sound that we all recognise and most of us admire. So too a porner might be an entirely unconvincing actress but still either work through those limitations to create a performance that we value or perhaps just occassionally stumble on the right combination that delivers, on that one occassion, a memorable performance. I think that is what this thread is about.
I have one title with Brooke where she's paired w/Vicky Vette & a stud, and she admits in the interview segment that she's "not into guys". She then gives an "oops" kind of thing, like she knows this could hurt her image sales. Mason Storm is also a lesbian in it for the money.
