I've noticed no coming soons - but they have put out Jizz On My Juggs and Platinum POV Fixation in late October. I thought they might have a distribution site like Red Light (rlddistribution.com) but I can't find one...

I thought I read in a thread somewhere Platinum X did go under, I could be wrong though.

Ralph Ceglia now owns Platinum X. I have heard is a guy who knows little about producing pornography.

Platinum X is not dead. It has just changed ownership. I am in the middle of having a new web site built and updated. Look for these upcoming movies.

So are you the owner Ralph, or are you simply the PR man for Platinum X?
What direction will PXP be taking now? Will it be producing generally the same thing as under the previous owners at RLD?
How many old titles have you actually inherited? Will we be seeing the return of such awesome titles as 'Tear me a new one' and 'Four on the Whore?'

How would you feel about taking the high road and not using racist titles like "Slant Eyed Sluts"? I'm not saying you have to be PC, but that's way over the line.

I have no information on what Brandon claims. I was not involved in his business prior to JULY 11th when i took over.
Brandon is being paid fairly from that point on. I assure you.

Who cares if Brandon claims he hasn't been paid in months? He should take his issues up with the guy who supposedly hasn't paid him.

Ralph is correct. I have been paid for July through September by him and I am grateful for that.
There are issues with others and I am dealing with them. Please leave me out of any further discussion in this thread. Good luck.

So then when why did you comment in the other thread about the same topic?
You have this thing I have noticed where you will talk about things to a point, but if it gets a little antagonistic you pull the "leave me out of it." I call it false politeness.

Brandon Iron is a classic example of a passive aggressive. He goes all over the internet claiming how badly he was ripped off by people at rld / pxp but the second he feels the heat too close to his bullshit he runs away. Patheric if you ask me.

Man, I wish HeyNow would just pull the plug on ragingbull and Jen1988. Warnings dont really seem to be doing any good.
Ralph good luck with Pxp, Hopefully you can get this company back on the right track.

I agree. He claimed in another post he had no respect for how RLD/PXP do business then here he thanks Ralph for paying him??? Hard to believe, considering Ralph is an executive with RLD as well as the owner of PXP.
His post and his demeanor in his interviews on his videos makes him to be this polite mild-mannered guy. But, it is is clear their is a lot more going on. Maybe passive aggressive, probably just duplicitous.

I was just informed today that Evil Angel's sister company, Buttman Magazine Choice, will be selling Steve Holmes' old movies which were previously sold through Platinum X.
It is approximately 20 titles, and they will become available through Buttman Magazine Choice on December 11th.

I am usually pretty up front about my business. If someone asks me why I am not shooting crazy 20-on-1 scenes, I explain why. Ralph Ceglia paid me royalties for July/August in the amount of $1,936.07 and $791.62 for September. In other words, after 4 years of owning product (44 titles, to be exact), I can afford to hire one girl per month for a vaginal sex scene. Anal...not in the budget. I am thankful to be paid anything, of course, but I wonder where I made mistakes so I can avoid repeating them.
Let's be honest. You don't care about me or my business. I call that false concern.

Again, you don't care about me or my business. You like to toss a match on the fuel spilled around the train wreck. I have not been paid for royalties owed on my movies by Red Light District since the period ending in June. Several attempts have been made by phone, e-mail, and face-to-face meetings. The only explanation I have received is that the checks are not ready. So I don't see where my bullshit starts and someone else's begins.
Not having money that was collected in July, August, and September puts me in a difficult position. I still self-finance my work and do not borrow from anyone.
Put your matches away, please. I didn't do anything wrong and it is only reasonable to ask to be paid. If your means of earning a living were taken away from you, it would hit much closer to home, I'm sure.

I 100% agree you deserve to be paid. I work at small delivery company and when people don't pay it fuck everything up, so I feel you man.
1700 is not a lot of money, I understand.
And you may think I don't care, but I do. I always respect artists. That is why I buy my music and support live music. So, I think you should be paid.
How much do u feel they owe you?

I am not trolling, my probing actualy got new infromation:
1. The fact that BI had been paritaly paid.
2. That Ralph is no longer with RLD and owns PXP.
So I was just trying to find some stuff out, I was not "trolling."

Brandon, I DO care about your business and I'm a HUGE fan of your stuff, so please tell me where you find girls who will do a vag scene for $ 791.62!!
I've been getting ripped off! LOL

Well, you will have to do the scene yourself of course. You will also have to shoot at your place, too. Locations cost money. Finally, you won't be able to hire a makeup artist or buy any props or wardrobe. Agents commissions are out, too.
I have no idea how I wound up like this and the turnip truck is far, far down the road.

hahaha. you sound and act like you're solving some huge mystery like whether or not jesus actually existed and was the son of god or who shot kennedy or something. Thats the same thing you are/were doing with the chico case. You're a 'fan' on an adult forum, not Columbo. You're not cracking cases and saving the world. get over yourself.

did you ever think that there might not be an answer or that the people with the answer might not want you to know? this isn't a forum that requires everyone to disclose every bit of info that posters want to hear or read.
just because someone's in porn doesn't mean that they have an obligation to tell you all their secrets or want you to get all in their business. Porn stars like privacy, too.
This was that douchebag stuff that i was telling you about.

While I appreciate the suggestion to remaster my product, I don't see why it is even necessary. That would require additional time and expense on my part. I made good movies that sold well enough that at one point, I was the best seller at Platinum X. Money was earned yet not all of it was paid. It kind of sticks in my craw that I can't afford to produce even one scene per month off what I am earning at this point. What went wrong? (insert sound of crickets chirping.)

How does what you have been paid compare to the other top RLD/PXP producers like MJ, Jake Malone, and such have they goten paid in full?
Take care.

The problem is I was always more concerned with the letters BJ and ATM than ROI. The echoes of laughter in the halls at Red Light are deafening.

I think Brandon has probably figured that part out now. While Brandon's work isn't particularly to my personal tastes, he clearly has a vocal fanbase on this site and was the top seller at PXP for a time, so I'm sure with that kind of talent he will end up back on his feet.

The math that I know involves getting a statement and a check each month for money collected by the distributor. I have received a statement but not a check for the months of July, August, and September. This is very frustrating.
