Okay the first porno movie i ever watched in my life was a vivid movie and i liked it, dont remember the name but it starred Tobe Kai, after that i watched tons of vivid movies in mid 90s and then i lost my interest, i just dont find girls with fake boobs and past their prime attractive..guess most of the contract girls are past the best part of their careers and i dont enjoy watching them anymore.
Yet i goto this websites and read how amazing Jenna Jameson IS and how people are going ntuz abt her, shes considered to be someone like marylin monroe or elizabeth taylor of adult industry and i totally disagree with that. I havent seen any of her movies in past few years, and i wouldnt wanna see any , guess i am not tempted to.. i watched briana vs jenna abit, after the first scene i skipped onto the next one, and then returned it without finishing it. I dont mean to offend people who are a big fan of hers all i wanna know is there anyone who doesnt like Jenna and thinks shes just another girl in porn.?!?!?Or anyone who feels that contract girls are nothing compared to all those hotties in evil angel or RLD gonzos??
I really wanna know.

Anyone want to bet how long it takes for this thread to degenerate into a flamewar and has to be locked?

My bet is less than a day...

Well, I am not a fan of hers, and can't say I ever was, but she is popular, and most definitely one of the most recognizable people in this biz.

I have only seen a couple of her early scenes, and wasn't all that impressed, but hey, different strokes for different folks, right?

Saki: Anyone want to bet how long it takes for this thread to degenerate into a flamewar and has to be locked?

My bet is 22 hours, 36 minutes, and 7 seconds after my reply.

I like Jenna J. and have alot of her work in my collection but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing her take Lex Steele balls deep in every hole. Oh well, at least we have many, many others willing to do it for the cause...

Myself I honestly love Jenna Jameson,and think she is one of the best in the business. Sure here in the last couple of years her stuff hasn't been the greatest, but just wait. She has this bondage one coming out sometime soon if you are a fan of that genre called "Jenna Loves Pain".. She also has "Jenna Loves Kobe" coming out... From what I have heard it is supposed to be pretty good.

Her earlier work if you watch "Paradise" she did a scene with TT Boy, and Peter North that was amazing... in Priceless she has a hot g/g scene... and in a couple of her other movies she did some really hot stuff... My favorite of Jenna's would have to be her most recent one though in "I Dream of Jenna"... she has a really good scene with Nikita Denise, and another chick that escapes my mind, and then of course she has a scene with the hot and lovely Jewel Denyle....(also a f/m scene as well)

1. I dont think we have enough members here to start a good flame war like the ones we have at tech websites.
2. dont think people love jenna that much(even when they do) and are loyal to it the way they are to intel or amd or nvidia or ati or windows or linux or mac.
3. i asked for other people opinion if some thinks this is not his pie then dont taste it.

just my two cents

No, a lot of people talk smack about Jenna, but that comes with the territory of being as big as she is. Obviously she isn't doing the most extreme acts, but she is still having sex on camera. Her scenes aren't SUPER soft, just no anal and not so much weird stuff. She was and still is unbelievably hot in my opinion, so that makes up for her not doing circus acts to me.

You're new, so you wouldn't know that Jenna has probably resulted in the most number of locked threads than any other single person (probably Marc Wallace and Bisexual Britni are the only ones who come close).

There are a lot of people who take porn very seriously for some reason...

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. SO really I don't believe this will turn into a flamwar, but it could really make people sit down and think just how much they like her

I cant take anything away from Jenna Jameson. She is a great businesswoman. But she is more like the Derek Jeter of porn. Gets most the hype, but doesnt have the best game.

She is a bit known even in Russia, but me, frankly, I did never care about her.

Somebody (like Den from CAVR maybe?) should come up with dvd sale figures of her tapes compared to girls like Belladonna. I sure would be curious...

...but than still maybe Jenna Jameson sells more because she can also advertize in non-porn magazines etc, while a true hardcore nasty girl like Belladonna will be banned from such places I guess.

Not to me because she doesn't do the kind of movies/acts I like. I like hardcore pornstars like Bridgette Kerkove or Aurora Snow.

Check out anything she did while she was at Wicked Pictures and you'll know why she got as big as she did.
I mostly watch gonzo, but I own every movie she did at Wicked, she is a great performer with men and women.
Briana Loves Jenna could have been great, but the director fucked up that movie real bad with all the bullshit special effects, no real audio, and screwed up camera angles, colors, and effects. Totally ruined some good sex.

I've never understood the fascination with Jenna. She is very attractive and has done some good work but nothing to make her stand out more than anyone else. I think Wicked did a great job of promoting her early in her career which has led to most of her success. Personally, I no longer buy her movies as I try not to support those who won't do interracial.

I really like her. "Blue Movie" remains one of my favorites. If JJ every did anal, I suspect it would set some sales records.

Brianna Loves Jenna was supposedly the best selling adult title of 2002.

Yes, TommiRoseFan, Jenna IS that big!
Some love her and some don't, but is there really anyone that EVERYBODY loves?

Take Julia Roberts. I adore her. Many people do. But some people don't.

Anyway, TommiRoseFan, are you talking about Nikki Tyler in her early career, or Nikki Tyler today. She used to be smokin'...

Oh, and do a search for Jenna Jameson in the forums area here, and you'll find one or two fairly heated flame wars.
Same for a search for Iraq, and for Marc Wallice and BisexualBritni, as Saki mentioned.

Saki won the bet.
Opening a thread just to insult performers or companies you don't like, simply for the sake of it, will inevitably lead to harsh words and bad feelings.
The thread is not locked yet but, unless the posters have something more productive and original to say (apart from "how I hate x" and the trite "gonzo vs. contract girls"), consider it half locked.

Tommi Rose fan,
Jenna is gorgeous, and is a nice down-to-earth person. She is also a member here.

To be honest, I have never heard of Tommi Rose, but would love to see a picture of her.

In the meantime, maybe these 'not gratuitous screenshots' can help to answer your question.






*edited to eliminate the ~tilde in the url of the gratuitous screenshots so they will work. I think I'm gonna be busy for awhile, he he.

Whether Jenna deserves to be as big as she is probably depends on your tastes in porn. As a businesswoman in the adult industry, I don't know if there's another performer who's come close to her in the last ten years. Her scenes were hit or miss for me, but when she was on, she sure as heck was on! TRF - from the sounds of it you mostly saw her Vivid stuff. What I've seen of her Wicked movies was very good, and I'd recommend checking out reviews of a few of them and checking one out to really see what Jenna can do!

Jenna is one of the few adult performers who is recognizable to people who have never even seen a porn movie. Many people just know her as the girl who is way too hot to be doing porn.

Granted, many (maybe even most) people who watch porn regularly find Jenna's movies too tame for their tastes. But we are the minority. Every time that Jenna appears on Howard Stern or E! or even that NBC show that she had a small part on (Sterling something), non-regular porn viewers flock to adult stores asking where the Jenna Jameson movies are.

So the answer to your question is...Yes, Jenna really is that big.

I just explained how i feel abt jenna, and all the mods wanna shoot me down.
its Okay if u havent heared of tommi rose, i bet lotta other people have, trying to figure how u are a mod of an adult dvd website if u dont know her, i am a lan admin in win 2000 envoirment but i know a little about linux and all its version even if i havent used them, not challenging you or being offensive,
and you didnt need to post jennas screenshots, i have probably looked at more suze randall and earl miller photography than anyone i know and i realize she can look good but you missed u the whole point.
as for locking the thread, i request the admin NOT the mods to go ahead and lock it...i dont think it will be because of the members it will be because mods dont want to see what the members type, THERE IS a huge difference.
whatever i said is my own personal opinion and doesnt generalize anything. i am thankful that i was given an opporutnity to express myself...if u guys decide against it i cant do much about it, but thats how life is and i am willing to accept that.
thanks for being generous...i wont be saying anything in this thread anymore you are welcome to lock it.thanks to all mods.

actually, Tommi Rose is fine with Jenna.
Tommi Rose Fan isn't crazy about her.

TRF - I personally think that Tommi Rose is pretty hot, but she limited herself almost exclusively to gonzo during her career, which means that only more hardcore porn fans got a chance to see her. People who stick to features probably would have missed her altogether.

Y'know Tommi Rose Fan, I've been following this thread with interest and I even thought you made some good points... until you decided that martyrdom was your best course. Get off your goddamn cross already! No one has belittled you, but you sure as hell have done that to yourself with that last post. The mods around here work really hard and care immensely about this board. We entertain a huge variety of different viewpoints and rarely involve ourselves unless we see a thread degenerate into flames. You, on the other hand, are a newcomer that brings up a subject and won't accept anyone else's viewpoint than your own. So you don't think Jenna is hot shit. Big deal! Get over it. I had no problem with you expressing your viewpoint, but you had a caniption when others did the same. And then you go off on the mods. I for one think you have done yourself and your opinion a grave disservice, and in my mind it is obvious that you are not mature enough to participate in this forum!

Hm... I don't know. I don't deny that PR has a lot to do with Jenna's mega-success, but I don't think that's the end of it. There was a time there when I couldn't get enough Jenna... she is a freakin' hottie (just look at SB's contribution to this thread... :), and in many of her performances she just had something special about her that set her apart--kind of a combination of generous, naughty, hard core performance along side a kind of high class sophistication that most adult starts just aren't able to balance as well as she does. To me they kind of played off each other in a fascinatingly conflicting way. Anyway, I don't watch her much anymore, but that doesn't take away her success, which is still very much alive. Maybe that was all PR... but I really don't think so.

Perhaps I'm wrong though. :)

I really don't understand the attitude displayed by TRF. I wasn't trying to be insulting to Tommi Rose, I really had no idea what she looked like and was just curious.

As I said when you emailed me pictures of her, she is indeed very cute, and I thanked you. I also explained that the reason that I couldn't post them was because of copyright issues, that's all, and I thought our exchange was very friendly.

I posted the pics of Jenna is because I just love posting pics whenever I can! Gratuitous Screenshots is my middle name, and I certainly didn't do it to offend you. Most people usually enjoy it. Sorry that you didn't, but this whole tantrum does make me wonder.

Threads like these are always a Raincoaters porn vs. Couples-appeal porn kind of thing. I belong on the Raincoaters side but it's obvious there are more couples-appeal fans out there otherwise Jenna would not be populair. Doesn't matter to me because Bridgette Kerkove is for me the biggest female pornstar out there.

Btw, Jenna was great in Vice City ;-)

Thank you for this pictures, dumblond! They convince me that it was probabely a mistake to skip that girl almost entirely in the past. Just because I thought she is only couples-porn I am not really interested in, I should still have cared a bit more because she really looks wonderful. And maybe she did not only couples-porn after all?

And: It reminded me so much of our dear old days a few weeks ago, when we could still post pictures here...

Oh, my bad, crenshaw. I would be happy to post the pics of Tommi Rose, but I need to brand them with a studio name first if they are from a particular movie, I think. If not, I don't think I can without her permission.
She is a cutie, though! Thanks a bunch, crenshaw.

I've got plenty more shots of Jenna, some sent to me by Jenna herself so there are no problems, but I don't want to anger TRF.

Peace

not wrong at all. no doubt, it doesn't hurt to be a good looking gal, who can perform, and is well spoken, and is dedicated to her profession. that's pretty much a given as far as success in any entertainment biz is concerned. but i'm sure there are other girls who are in the same league as jenna, that just didn't manage to become a household name due to a lack of publicity and cross-over appeal.

the jenna question, to me, is a perfect indicator of:

1) just how little "the rest of the world" really knows about porn.

2) how huge the couples market is

3) how effective good advertising is

4) how much the japanese love blonde bombshells

i'd bet that the majority of the human race doesn't care to know anything about double anal. however, they do know what's on howard stern, wild-on, the man show, etc... so jenna tops the sales charts, simply because more people know her name. that's my theory, and i'm stickin' to it.

Yes there are several people out there that love Jenna or dislike most of her stuff, but I know for one fact that I am a fan of all things porn. I don't care if they do mostly couples or hit it with the hardcore side all of the way.

There is something there for everyone. Tommi Rose is nice, Bridgitte Kerkove is hot, Jenna is hot, etc.... ALl you have to do is remember to each his/her own...

But I tend to think with what constance le it is more and more true. I admit Jenna is one of the big contributors to why I got into watching porn, and still is to this day, but since I have been watching porn for the last couple of years I have been delving into more and more all along the line. Still experiencing more here and there, and you all know that no matter how long you watch porn you always can find something different.

This was a good old thread here TommiRoseFan.... it gave people a chance to throw out their ideas.... and for the most part people kept it tame....

But I still love dumblonde for posting the Jenna pics... :)

I said already how I am prepared to give Jenna a second chance, still let me just say:
1) true, but you always have afficionados (like most discussiong in forums like ADT, I guess) and the coincidential porn and adult pay-TV-consumer. The latter is simply not interested in more than to watch a nice girl having sex once in a while
2) true, but many people are not in couples (me included) and they are a market-force, too.
3) true again, but the best advertizement ever so often does not fit with the best product. A good example would be our Russian girl-pop group TATU.
4) The Japaneese are 125 Million with lots of money to spend...Well, we would be 150 Million with a taste for hard sex, I think, but sadly we Russians have neither the money, nor the distribution channels.

Just my additional 2 1/2 cents.

I still wonder: Does nobody have her actual sales figures (compared to Belladonnas and Bridgette Kerkoves)?

shameless,
*Reliable* sales figures in porn are extremely hard to come by. I think yes, Jenna is smart with good PR, but as you can see, she is also very good looking. Don't be put off by the 'couples' designation either, she is smokin' hot in her scenes. It's true she doesn't do anal, but it doesn't matter to me, she's hot.

crenshaw mentioned her not doing interracial, and while I am totally against racism, in porn I think it's more complicated. Jenna doesn't even do other guys since she's had a longtime boyfriend, and I've never heard of her being a racist or uttering a racist remark.

Jenna does only her boyfriend? I will leave it out then. To me porn girls need to be promiscous, anything elso will spoil the phantasy. No anal is also no incentive for me to check her works out.

I will leave her in my <she looks hot, but does not make the porn I like>-department. She will be in good company on that shelf (which is close to the shelf <she looks hot, but does not do porn (yet?)>, carring meynly women I spotted in the streets and bars of Moscow.

Readin' your I've got a feeling you haven't seen any Jenna's videos! Your opinion depends on the forum information. Is it so? Try Wicked One or Dreamquest by Wicked Pictures (I know you can get them in Russia!) and we'd like to get your opinion! I think it'd be interesting for all!

While I never used to like Jenna her first couple of years in the business she kind of wore me down.

However, I will agree with Constance on this one. I don't think Jenna would be nearly as popular as she is if she hadn't signed with Wicked. While a couple of the other companies can boast PR divisions that keep up with Wicked's very few of those have the movies that live up to the hype. Jenna's success is a combination of good movies and good PR. As well as Jenna herself.

Otherwise why aren't all the Vivid girls just as popular? Or for that matter Tera Patrick? Digital did everything right with Tera except her perfromances for them didn't tend to live up to all expectations.

Jenna Jameson falls in the same category as Debbie Does Dallas. 90 percent of my friends know nothing about porno. More like 99 percent. The only thing they know is Debbie Does Dallas was a movie, and Jenna Jameson is a porn star. So, when they decide to buy a porno, (like I did when I first started buying porn) they buy a couple Jenna Jameson titles just because thats what they think the best porn is, cause they have no experience. But once you get your feet wet you find things you like much better.
