Taking a look at the new site, it seems like he is trying to do some real directing work with a more sophisticated type of lighting and a daring shooting style.

| dodgenot Member 65 Posts 8/06 | Posted - Oct 24 2017 : 5:05PM You are the first director in porn that knows a blow job is really a form of portraiture. You use short telephotos instead of zooming in with a wide angle camcorder which distorts the face. I could go on and on but your talent and attention to detail is amazing as has been noted before by many. In fact some of your stills can be as much of a turn on as an entire scene. " I am looking forward to BlackedRaw. One gripe I have with your material is that you need some more gonzo in your flicks. "Private" has good production values and talent (but not as good as yours) but the lame money shots have driven most of us way from them. Less gonzo than legalporno perhaps but more than Blacked has now. Keep up the great work. By the way, I miss the Anabolic days for that stuff.

I mean, there are now four Greg Lansky sites. How about something like Greg Lansky, future site possibilities? Edited by - Mass Facialties on 10/27/2017 1:57:58 AM [Link] |
| pat362 Senior Member 10078 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Oct 27 2017 : 11:07AM What Lansky should have done with his Blacked Raw site but I think he can't for a variety of reasons is have a site where the performer have anal or dp's sex with one or more interracial performers. In the same way that Vixen is basically Tushy but without the anal. P.S: I have no problem changing the name of the thread. [Link] |

| ISS Member 188cm85kg20cm 977 Posts 7/17 | Posted - Oct 27 2017 : 4:57PM In addition, like I've said, shooting the same girl multiple times isn't an issue per se. The issue will be when almost every girl has shot multiple scenes for them and there won't be any more variety to be had until a new girl comes along and the same process is applied to them. But with how few black girls get into porn compared to white girls, that type of program wouldn't be sustainable for long. Reducing the update frequency by 33% like you suggest would prolong it, but it's just delaying the inevitable. The only permanent solution would be if more black women took up porn, but that's not something you can manipulate from the content creator side of things. What Greg Lansky could do though is just shoot more black women on VIXEN, his generic vanilla site for generic vanilla sex, no ethnicity requirements necessary. Nia Nacci has already shot for them among other bright new black stars, so it's not out of the question. Edited by - ISS on 10/27/2017 4:58:04 PM Edited by - ISS on 10/27/2017 4:58:54 PM [Link] |

| Aya Senior Member All The Cool Girls Are Lesbians 7439 Posts 6/14 | Posted - Nov 18 2017 : 12:04AM On paper, a Lansky G/G site seems like a no-brainer; He's got a killer formula with his current brand, the G/G directing experience, and has cultivated strong relationships with top performers who would be more than willing to do it. Maybe I'm being too pessimistic, but I just feel like he's so entrenched in B/G now, that it's not likely. I mean after doing Vanilla, Anal, and IR BG, you'd think G/G would be the next logical step, but it turned out to be a different spin on IR B/G. We may have to wait until Tushy Raw and Vixen Raw happen first. [Link] |

| pat362 Senior Member 10078 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Nov 18 2017 : 12:29PM If some of you have read my comments on the Tushy thread than you know that I have been vocal when it comes to Lansky's decision to start shooting threesome scenes where only one of the women has sex with the man while the other is basically there for the oral part of the scene. It's pretty bad when he copies one of Mike Adriano's biggest fault. I know some have said positive things about those new threesome scenes but I think they are in the minority. Most people dislike them for obvious reasons. That decision was bad but he has compounded the problem with some of the performers he has hired this year. I understand that you can't compel someone to do anal if they don't want to but I also know that there are plenty of past Tushy performer still doing anal that could have been hired in place of those women. The last nail for me was the hiring of Leigh Raven. I'm not a fan of heavily tattooed performers(male or female) and I always assumed that Gregg wasn't either based on the performer she has hired in the past but that last hire tells me that maybe he is changing his mind on the subject. Regardless that is why I cancelled my a long term recurring membership this month. Now maybe I expect too much out of my favorite porn producers but maybe I just expect them to care a little bit more than they seem to do. I understand the time and budget restrictions of modern porn but I also understand that at some point if you don't listen to your customers the they will become ex-customers. It's a lot easier to keep someone happy then it is to get them back once they are unhappy. As much as I would love a lesbian site from Lansky. I have come to the conclusion that it's probably a terrible idea if he decides to go down that route because I believe he will screw it up. Not necessarily out of malice or lack of talent but in the simple fact that unless he gets cloned or hires a filmmaker with a similar style then he simply does not have the time to actually do a new site. He has to produce a new scene every five days for 4 separate sites. That comes out to about 20 scenes per month. His current workload is such that he basically has to shoot one scene per day to meet his quota and spend his weekend editing and what not just to meet his minimum quota of scenes but that also means that he can't actually film all that many extra scenes to meet any possible industry shutdowns that might occur. That also means that he doesn't really have any time to plan for upcoming shoots and it also means that his work must at some point suffer his lack of available time. For that reason I can't see him starting another site. Edited by - pat362 on 11/18/2017 12:43:35 PM [Link] |

| SP_Love Senior Member "Freaky Deakies Need Love Too" 1181 Posts 2/11 | Posted - Nov 18 2017 : 2:57PM Yeah I'd say that it was something he thought about doing several years ago but not so much now. Also actions speak louder than words. His actions scream "I couldn't care less about starting a new lesbian porn site". I'm just greatful that we have access to his work from the old WLT. I'm always revisiting those classics. "Twist Your Head Around; It's All Around You" Edited by - love on 11/18/2017 2:58:19 PM [Link] |
| TranceFeral Member She is more then meets the "all-seeing eye" 52 Posts 8/16 | Posted - Nov 18 2017 : 3:06PM Tushy and similar brands = revisited softcore Raw = revisited amateur In case you're looking for something of the latter, there's only one company that supersedes them all: SinsLife. Consisting of Johnny and Kissa Sins and whoever's lucky enough to sleep with them. And rest assure, these are certified professionals who got passion and skills in spades while always staying true to themselves. I rank their sex tours among the best stuff that's out there and that's saying a lot considering the amateur aesthetic. Sure, Kissa can be a bit self indulgent at times, but it's in the most charming and natural way imaginable, so you'll only end up loving her more and more and more and more until infinity. [Link] |
| Starry Eyes Senior Member In the Eye of Solitude 3958 Posts 6/17 | Posted - Nov 18 2017 : 3:32PM I can see where you're coming from. Admittedly, I'm not fond of how he flaunts himself on social media with the gaudy imagery and stuff. He's no Hugh Hefner. I'll only watch certain scenes if I like the female performer featured, but I am no ardent follower of his brands. When I got back into porn I too wondered how this guy catapulted himself to the forefront, as there's so many quality studios pumping out solid content. He has seemingly no competition either. What other director has 4 sites? I would like to see another meteoric rise from someone to give him a run for his money. Good call on SinsLife, their sexual escapades are always pretty fun. Not to mention they usually snag top-notch performers to join them. [Link] |

She stopped producing content for EroticaX shortly after the site's launch and other than a recently released gangbang scene featuring Keisha Grey, there hasn't been a Mason-directed scene on DarkX in nearly a year.

| Starry Eyes Senior Member In the Eye of Solitude 3958 Posts 6/17 | Posted - Nov 18 2017 : 5:19PM Wholeheartedly agree. He tries pulling in the viewer with a very garish presentation. There's nothing wrong with having a "classy" porn production instead of something sleazy, honestly I prefer it. But it seems very contrived and over the top. I think he floated through mediocrity when starting out at New Sensations/Digital Sin. It seemed amateurish. Nothing very noteworthy to my knowledge, and then he was at Reality Kings (for quite a while) and I'm not sure what standout content he crafted there either. Maybe I'm just misinformed. Were his works even discussed on this forum before Blacked? Willing to bet no one even knew who he was. According to his director page on IAFD, there was a 3 year gap (2011-2014) where he had no director credits at all - then Blacked launched him into the stratosphere. I respect his hustle and passion for the industry, but like anyone, his "art" is not flawless. Someone like Mason (to me) wipes the floor with him. Maybe I'm a hypocrite, because I'm psyched for Tori Black's return scene. Not blown away by his directorial style by any means. But as I said - if I like the female performer I'm not going to spite myself by looking away. Edited by - Starry Eyes on 11/18/2017 5:38:23 PM [Link] |

We Live Together: Official Thread Not surprisingly he got some of the same criticisms that are given in this current thread. It wasn't until after he left WLT and that site became the dumpster fire that it is today that many began to appreciate his talent. Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone? [Link] |
