Just wanted everyone to know I haven't forgot about ya! Been incredibly busy the last coupla weeks- shooting,traveling, (P.R. stuff) getting the DVD dept. reorganized,etc.etc. Going to Palm Springs this weekend for some much deserved R&R and will try to get back to some of your questions (and answers!) early next week. Then it's off to Philly for our XPW wrestling show Oct. 5.From there to Atlantic City for ECVS. If any of you go, come see me at the IVD booth! Till next week..
Haven't talked to her in years. Wasn't there a rumor going around a few ago years that she was dying but it turned out to be a hoax? (Seems like I read it on either lukeford or RAME). Hope it is. She's a sweet lady.
Hey Tom, just wanted you to know that your gonzo idea "Asshole behind the camera" that you mentioned to Rog sounds terrific and I hope you follow through on it. The staged aspect of today's gonzo is what ruins it. In fact the problem with the whole porn biz is its "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. Low quality product will continue to make money until someone changes it for the better, then the rest of the industry will try to catch up with second rate knock-offs. Obviously I am ranting now so I'll try to stop. Point is: you sounded like you have some good ideas, so keep up the good work.
PS- When will "Extremely Yours, Stryc-9" come out on DVD? I'm holding my breath.

I missed you terribly, Tom. Which is odd, because usually I am a good shot! Just kidding. Welcome back.
All I ask is that a decent dvd of Ass Clowns #1 be released (the original dvd release had major pixelation and artifact). This title deserves a better quality transfer to dvd than it has right now. Also, that Extreme remove the ridiculous "censored" blocking the screen from their movies when released on dvd, just edit the stuff out that you are worried about Tom (fisting etc.) and then place something at the end of the movie saying you can purchase the directors cut online, but you've got to lose the "censored" stuff. It ruins the watching experience for the viewer in a major way. maybe even add the risque stuff in as easter eggs (hidden on the disc somewhere for the viewer to hunt for) or as extra sex included in the special features part of the menu. Hell, forbidden Films released The Tiffany Minx Affair with fisting hidden in their somewhere, same with Arrow when they released Candy Stripers.

it's good to see the icon is back on the boards. Good to hear from you Tom.
I re-read the interview and actually I think I contradicted myself- My movies have always been "true gonzo" not staged, I let the camera roll and see what happens. I don't really think about what I'm going to say beforehand, I just try to get inside the girl's head a little bit, learn a little about her before she gets her asshole annihilated without the verbosity of say, an Ed Powers. Once the sex starts I shut the fuck up! The "Asshole Behind the Camera" idea was an idea that would be more of a parody of those who are in love with the sound of their own voice! It would be played for laughs, so maybe it would work,or maybe it would be a case of "fixing something that ain't broke" I dunno, what do you guys think? As far as EY Stryc-9, don't hold your breath TOO long, but I'll try to get it on the schedule ASAP!
