To porn, I mean. It occurs to me that in the period since his hiatus, the attitude of the talent pool has shifted radically. The outrageous is standard now. It's dues paying stuff that needs only the flashing light of a camcorder to set it in motion, whereas just a few short years ago, Dark had to poke and prod and use every arty trick in the book to get a glimpse of the dark underbelly. But now the industry is laying on it's back with its head upsidedown and mouth agape as a matter of commercial course and expectation. How do you suppose Dark would deal with this? What's a true subversive to do in such a climate?

He would be bored and disgusted with the lack of imagination.
Unless he is a fan of porn or the women, I doubt he would even keep track of what porn is like now.
While the Dark Brothers pushed the limits of the time on sex, he also did some psychodrama stuff.
I don't think the gonzo sex right now would shock him or put him off, but the Rosebud style of starting with the women and jumping straight to the action while doing nothing else would seem so boring to him. The art is lost. Sure, the sex-based action was delivered on, but what else could have been done with the scene? What commentary can be made?

I think DAC and I had a short discussion about this a while back.

Actually, I think he would take advantage of the much more outrageous talent pool of nowadays and actually manage to make something interesting out of it, the way Thomas Zupko or Eon McKai are doing.

I wish Dark would make a comeback, porn really misses a creative person in porn right now who can make the kind of movies Dark did. Shocking Truth is my all time favorite Dark movie.

I agree, although he was a bit before my time. From what I've read about him he didn't think much of the industry then and i think he'd think less of it now. He didn't take part in any awards and shows and would laugh at people who took porn (itself and the creation of) so seriously. Well that's what i read anyway.

Porn vids no longer look like porn vids, they looks like the auditions.

Vids by Dark had some art design that stood a chance of protecting the videos from being found to be lacking in any "artistic or literary merit." You still see artistic and literary merit in some Private vids. But they're vastly outnumbered.

And the lack of any creativity forces people to become fans of the performers rather than fans of the vids themselves -- because the only interesting storyline going on is what the performers themselves happen to be cast it. Their real lives are serving as entertainment, their decisions serve as plot development, filling the absence of creativity in the films themselves.
