As far as the girls featured on the site, Tushy has been the best of the GLN (Greg Lansky Network) sites over the past couple weeks/months. I hope there are more scenes to come with that Chris Diamond guy, he's a great addition to Tushy's male talent rotation. ^I love the selection of women who have worked for Lansky and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. Where you and I disagree is in regards to Chris Diamond because My opinion is very different than yours for two reasons. The first is that I'm really not a fan of body art. I can usually overlook it on most performers but size and location of tattoos is critical for me to be able to overlook them. Chris happens to sport a huge tattoo on his left shoulder and upper arm that is simply impossible to overlook. The other reason is not something that Chris could have done anything about and it's that he looks young. I know he is only 26 so that is pretty young but regardless of age he has what I call a baby face and for some reason I find that off putting. The good news for me is that there is another Chris that regularly works for Lansky and it's Christian Clay. I love all his scenes.
I agree... Greg Lansky's films are not perfect, and I guess his style is as repetitive as any other director's, but it's still better than what the others have to offer. At least if you like anal-themed porn and are somewhat tired of the over-the-top high-energy gonzo fuckfests that has been in vogue for the last decade or so.

some of the best filmed and best actresses ever, high class production, I love it
At first I loved Gregs work... but when you lay all the scenes over eachother it's all the same... the same color, the same positions in the same order. The only thing that sometimes (not often) varies is talking during the sex. Most scenes are silent with alot of ohh and ahhh .. sometimes the girls talk. That for me are the better scenes.. (even with the same positions in the same order)
^I don't disagree with you but I'd like you to point out which director/studios does anything differently when it comes to their brand of porn because ultimately each studio/director finds a profitable way to shoot porn and pretty much stick with it for as long as it's profitable.
Okay, you're right. That is how everybody works. I just wish more directors and studios were interested in the combination of smooth/romantic/realistic vibe and hardcore anal sex, the combination that Greg Lansky is exploring (although "exploring" is maybe a too nice word for his formulaic style). I guess I just miss the days when anal sex felt special in porn, like something that was next level, a cherished treat. That "oh my God, YES, they're actually doing THAT" moment. That atmosphere has largely disappeared from porn in the new millennium, but Greg Lansky is doing something to bring it back. That is what I think.
^I'd love to see more black women in porn in general so it stands to reason that I would love to see more in Lansky videos but sadly I know it's not going to happen. The two mains reasons are: 1- There are simply too few women black women in porn right now and I don't expect that to change. 2- The other reason has more to do with what type of model Lansky prefers to have in his videos. He prefers that the models have as few (if any) tattoos and it's been my experience that most of the active black performers have varying number of tattoos. Now Lansky has been known to still hire models with tattoos but they are definitely the exception and not the rule.

I still very much like Blacked and Vixen, but I have to admit that Tushy really fell off my "porn radar" in the past year. I do agree that, because it's anal, the sex is a bit too slow and mechanical; going a bit more "gonzo" would certainly make the scenes more enjoyable. Additionally, they've just been making a lot of casting choices in recent months that don't excite me.
^You have to realise that Tushy suffers from the same affliction as 99% of all porn sites in that they found a porn formula that works for them and they aren't going to mess with it for fear that it will negatively affect their profit margin. Their sister site Vixen, Blacked and the new BlackedRaw aren't any better. I'd also like to point out that while all the Lansky based sites sort or pretend to be scenario driven porn scenes. The fact is that most of their scenarios are so short that you can skip the first two minutes of each video and it won't affect your enjoyment of the scene and what is even more damning is that the scenario rarely increase my enjoyment because they are simply not fleshed out. As for the sex portion. The only difference between their type of gonzo sex and standard gonzo is that it's more artsy and less intense but that's about it.

^ "The fact is that most of their scenarios are so short that you can skip the first two minutes of each video and it won't affect your enjoyment of the scene and what is even more damning is that the scenario rarely increase my enjoyment because they are simply not fleshed out." I agree with you here. With all of the GLN sites, I actually wish they devoted a little more time to the story and setup.
^What I find to be even worse is that while I realise that shooting a complex scenario driven porn scene will cost a lot more than producers are willing to pay. Making a slightly longer and more developed scenario will not and yet no one associated with the Lansky sites has ever bothered to do that.

^Yes, you're right. But, GLN is now at the point where they are becoming sort of a mini-content factory. With four sites, they have to produce on average 4 scenes every 5 days or they won't make their release schedule. And so it's not surprising to me that there is less attention paid to the story/scenario set up of scenes. This doesn't bother me personally, but for others that like that sort of thing, it's obviously not ideal.
^It would be impossible for me to disagree with your statement if the people behind these sites had done longer and more developed scenarios in the beginning when they didn't have to shoot content for four sites but they have never done that. Their basic set-up as always been under 5 minutes and it's usually some voice over or the woman basically starting the story but she is usually almost naked at the beginning.

^Oh well, I suppose that's true enough then. It's a bit surprising, actually, that the brief scenario setup hasn't disappeared entirely. With shoots happening almost every day along with running the business, that's a lot of work. I'm a bit surprised Lansky still shoots the scenes.
^Because it doesn't cost them any extra money to shoot those 2 minute set-up and removing would change the formula that they have been using since day one and I've already stated that producers don't want to do that once they have found a formula that works for them.
^ I have to admit that even I, a true Lansky fan, am finding the Tushy scenes a bit too formulaic and mechanical at this point. It's a shame because when Tushy was new, the style seemed fresh and innovative, like we were witnessing a real evolution in the anal gonzo genre. I wish someone, some young director, would take this style and continue to develop it. I want to see beautiful women in beautifully shot scenes with great chemistry between the performers and some nice scripted setups. I don't get that anymore from Lansky and the Tushy factory, sadly. It looks the same but the spirit is gone. The sexiness is now hollow. The only thing that they still make in a sexy manner is the covers of their DVD's.
"Make Me Your Muse" with Red Fox & Christian Clay was a letdown. Red Fox is one of the prettiest girls in porn, but there is a reason many don't know about her. She does boring scenes for a few artsy fartsy websites. I was hoping Lansky would up the anty in terms of the tempo, but what we get is essentially and X-Art/WowGirls scene where Christian Clay's talent is wasted. If this is how things are going to be in terms of tempo in her future scenes for Lansky, she needs to at the very east need take it in her ass.
^&^^You have to understand that she belongs to that rare group of Eastern European women who through luck and genetics are naturally very beautiful and therefore are able to find jobs that rarely require them to do more than get naked. Now some of these women will from time to time dip their toes in the porn pool but there appearances are rare and more often than not they only work with their significant other. This has basically been Red Fox road map. She was more or less retired when she got an offer from Lansky that she simply couldn't refuse and that's why she has shot two scenes for Lansky. That Vixen one and a as yet unreleased anal video. She did not enjoy anal so kiss goodbye to future ones. I watched the trailer for Red Fox's Vixen scene and it looked decent. It's your run of the mill artcore style scene except in this case there does not appear to be any dialogue between the players because she does not speak English. I suspect most if not all of the Lansky European scenes will be the same as it is very hard to find Eastern European performers who have more than a passing knowledge of English. I read that Lansky(or whoever shoots for him) did 5 scenes in April and another 5 this month. I think we are three right now so expect at least 7 more in the weeks and months to come. The fact that she was offered an amount that she couldn't turn down to do two scenes(one of which is anal) makes me think that I may have been wrong when I said that Lansky was shooting in Europe to save money.
