There are some extremely popular porn starlets loved by members of ADT that I think fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. You would probably disagree with me. Scipio's point is that attractiveness is based on personal taste. I found many of the girls in this movie attractive, and some not so attractive. I was not so naive as to expect anything different. In general, I found the concept of the movie and the production to be fantastic. I am looking forward to the next one. I get what Brandon was doing here. If you don't, then you need to stick your head back in the sand.

I didn't know you could read Scipio's mind. Great, you know exactly where I think you should go! Take Care!
I didn't read his mind, I read the rest of his post, other than the part you quoted to serve your purposes. He states exactly what I say he stated. Thanks for making such a nice attempt at being a complete jackass to me though. I have to credit your effort.

Some of the chicks you mentioned aren't hot at all, whether in your movie or anyone else's. But that's just my personal opinion. As for the movie as a whole, I still thought it was good. I understand that not every girl can be a dimepiece, so I can't hold that against the movie.
I agree. Someone has her panties in a bunch over my constructive criticism to Brandon. It's best that cooler heads prevail.

I think it's interesting that some posters here are taking more offense to this thread than Brandon. He sure seems level headed. If only his wanna be's were, too.
All that does, then, is beg the question in my mind: "If the girls I consider hot in my movie are not hot, who is?" There are only so many girls in the adult business at any given time. I am doing my best to deposit sperm in each of their open mouths. It's a Herculean effort, I know, but I will keep trying.
Remember who Briana Banks was before she was Briana Banks? I do! She was an awkward and gangly long-legged teen named Mirage. I worked with her several times before her natural beauty shone through and she started working with Vivid. Her outstanding performances led to a contract, which has continued to this day as far as I know.
My point? It's simple, really. If I shot her when I first met her and put it in a series like 50 TO 1 back then, many naysayers would disparage her as being not ______ enough or not ________ enough (feel free to fill in the blanks with the adjective of your choice). It still doesn't change that she's a gorgeous woman who blossomed on camera. The lesson is, then, that even Vivid girls don't look like Vivid girls all the time. There is a lot of makeup, hair, experience, Photoshop touchups, and many other factors that come into play.
Where's the hue and cry about Jenna Jameson not being "hot" in Up and Cummers #10 and 11? She doesn't have a ton of makeup. She's wearing normal clothes. She even has the audacity of looking very girl-next-door instead of all done-up a la THE MASSEUSE! Gimme a break, man. Hot is hot, whether she's just starting out or present day. Jenna looked great then and great now.
Same for my mini-Jennas in 50 TO 1. I love each and every one of the little cum eaters. So should you.
I see the point you are trying to make, Brandon. But Mirage was hot from the 1st time I saw her in Down the Hatch. I actually think she looked better then. I'm not a fan of the fake boobs, lots of makeup look.
For example, IMHO the two hottest babes you have shot in the AGSOI series are Jckie Ashe and Nadia Styles.
Anyway, if you want to send me a preview copy of 50 to 1 Disc 2, I will be more than happy to give it a 2nd chance!

I'm sure you do. And who can blame you? A guy is bound to have some love for a chick who eats his jizz.
But to clarify my point, not every girl in porn is drop-dead beautiful. In fact, the majority aren't. Some are beautiful, some are average or OK-looking, and the rest are just suitable enough for porn. In all the pornos I've ever seen since I started watching porn, I have found it rare, if not almost impossible, to find a movie where every single girl in the flick is gorgeous. Regardless of which studio produces it, there is always bound to be at least one dog in the bunch. And in a movie with so many girls, the chances of that happening only increase.
As for the example of Mirage/Briana Banks, I always thought she was cute, pre-implants and all. To me, it doesn't matter whether a girl is brand new and doing her first movie or if she is a seasoned pro shooting at one of the uppity studios. If the chick looks good, then she looks good, and if she doesn't, she just doesn't. I can think of several girls who came into porno looking terrible, and even after boob enhancements, make-up jobs and new hairdos, they still look terrible. On the other hand, there are girls who come into porn straight off the street looking great. How good a girl looks has little to do with her make-up, her studio, or how long she's been in the business. Some look good, some don't.

There's a fine line between "constructive criticism" and "being a jackass". I'd say you're redefining words just to suit the point you're trying to make.
Wanna-be's? There is that arrogance I spoke of in the past, and in other posts. There are those who choose to be decent about the words they use, and those who choose to be totally juvenile about it. You are doing the latter, but calling it "constructive criticism", when in fact it's just rude.
And just what might you do in the porn industry, dplovr, that entitles you to a valid point outside of sounding like a rabid fanboy? Just because we sing his praises, doesn't make us "wanna-be's". Buy a dictionary...
Brandon: Yes, I recall seeing "Mirage" early on doing an anal scene w/ Dave Hardman for Dane. What a tart, I still think I own that VHS to this day!
Briana however was looking a little rough during AEE it seemed, of course one hears all the vicious rumors about her over the years. I love her titty-job, despite the fact her legs are still stick thin.
Because it doesn't look like people can avoid the personalities here, I'm going to get the last comment in, then put on my mod hat and end this thing. So, here we go:
I doubt that anyone could gather 50 performers in a movie and have every one of them be a hit with any of the viewers. Criticizing a movie is fine, but try to keep the comments within the realm of reality.
