I read elsewhere that incompetent Sean Michaels I going to replace Lexington Steele at Redlight. Did the Redlight guys ever see the total crap Sean put out at his company? This guy has consistently been the worst director in porn for the last few years. Now with viagra he does not seem to be having as much problems getting it up but his cum shot is and will forever be weak. There is nothing more deflating to the heat in a scene than having the woman open her mouth wide then Sean only manages a dribble. To make matters worse he usually sticks his face into the camera and says some crap after his weak dribble. Darren James would be a better fit.
I also don't understand why RLD would bother with a has been like Sean Michaels when there are a lot of better (new) black performers out there like J.Monty and Boz for example (somebody should give Dion a copy of Black Pipe Layers).
This will be another reason for me not to buy RLD movies.
Sean Michaels,has made a deal with Platnium Pictures,and if I at Red light District,want to use Sean as talent,than I may,I already have allot of Directors at Red light District,the goal at Platnum will be to have Sean work with fresh new faces and have one of the in house cameraman shoot the series.
Dellporn,that is interesting that you speak of Darren James,I know Darren a long time,and believe me when I tell you this,he is one of the nicest people in the business,and we did speak yesterday in person about doing something,and I told him what his strengths are and he agreed,to be in front of the camera fucking young cute new white,Black,latin,and asian girls,I would really like to make some more really good Interacial stuff,I'm working on it,I got a good idea I hope it works.
Ramsey,once again you jump to conclusions,for someone that doesn't like Red Light District,your always the first one in saying something,when Red light District gets mentioned,what is your problem with Red Light District? did I happen to take your lunch money back in high school?
I have a meeting today with lexington,and I hope we can remain friends.
Just so Dion doesn't think that this opinion of Sean Michaels is universal and to present a differing opinion let me add that I have always liked Sean Michaels as a porn performer and I look forward to his PXP stuff. Especially if he follows Dion's suggestions here of working with fresh new faces using some of the good camera guys already in house. Like Dion stated in another thread, porn is not rocket science. You take one part big black dick, one part fresh new girls, and one part great camera and technical work and you will be successful.
I love WCP because they are champions of putting out IR porn but damn if they are not consistent in missing out on that last aspect of great camera and technical work.
BTW I really like Darren James, the guy always does his job and turns in good performances. That said I don't think Darren James can helm a signature series. As part of an ensemble he will always be a good performer but I just can't see him heading a series all on his own.

There isn't a single studio out there that would have the entire porn consumer community as 'slavering fans'. I think it goes without saying, "Different Strokes for Different Folks".
Very well said DenverDon,I'm going to give it my best to put togeter a very strong Interacial company,not to say I want to compete with WestCoast or to me the first king of great Interacial "Jake Steed",I just think theres some room for another very goodInteracial company,and truefully this is the real thing turns me on.
The famous words of Patrick Collins,theres always room for something better,I know theres to much product on the market,but again like cars, the consumer picks what they want.
I don't have a problem with Sean Michaels the performer. Sean's movies, on the other hand, have often suffered from technical deficiencies. I expect the technical aspects will now have to be up PXP's high standard, so I'm not worried about that.
Dion, you're the best. If I'm a Dion/RLD slavering fan boy, then so be it. Dion, I'm only going to make this suggestion to you one last time, and then I'll stop harping on it. Please, if you can, try to make a Michelle Wild DP happen soon (before she retires) with two black guys (regardless of who the black guys are--just as long as they're good). Michelle has done anal with Franco Roccaforte before, but never a DP with two black guys (not that I'm aware of, anyway).
Keep up the great work, Dion!

Dion I also wish you could get a hold of Michelle Wild before she retires. She did an IR scene with in a Rocco video a long time ago but nothing recently. I doubt you could remaim friends with Lex. For a guy who is supposed to be educated Lex sure comes off as a dumb arrogant asshole. I predict Lex will be insulting Redlight just like he did Anabolic when he left them. I think this guy was a security guard in NY and not a sucessful trader.
Darren James is a strong performer. And he is a very funny guy. See International Booty #6 for exactly what I mean. Pairing Big Black Guys with Small White Girls will always be a sexual attraction!
Sean Michaels is a cool dude. Thought he had retired.

DELLPORN - I tried to email you, but it was returned undeliverable. Please read the Forum Etiquette. Calling performers 'dumb arrogant assholes' is not what this forum is about.
I like the idea of WCP, but the tech standards turned me off. I give Lex all due respect for his hard work over the years, too, but I guess I'm just not a big fan of his stuff. For me, he comes off way too jaded and cool, and that dying wildebeest groan he makes -- well, it just ain't my cup of, er, whatever. But I say that not to diss -- he's one of the top performers out there. I just don;t get much "drama" from his scenes, like I do with Ferrarra, or with the psych-out banter of Brandon, or the wacky antics of Mr. Silvera. And, like I've said, I think Wesley Pipes is hilarious (and I know most people seem to dislike his ghetto vibes, but to me it's totally disarming and, above all, you can see that he's really INTO it, not detached and blase about the scene).
Anyway, hope this works out great for everyone. Haven't watched Sean Michaels in hardly anything for years. I would think he's a little bit past his expiration date as a star, but he always struck me as a classy guy on screen.

I used to like Sean Michaels when he worked for Anabolic, but then he started his own company and the product he put out was just utter crapola, so I quickly forgot about him. Plus, Lex was just breaking in round about that time and quickly became the number one black male performer in the business.
I think Sean Michaels could be big again but he needs to realize fans aren't buying the DVD to watch him mug for the camera. I also think his onscreen "playboy" persona is just incredibly annoying. But, still, PXP has some talented people over there so hopefully they will be able to bring out his strengths. Also, I hope the weak pop shot problem can be fixed. Wesley Pipes has that problem too.
Dion - I'm excited that you are forming a new interracial company. Please keep us updated on that. However, I agree with Blackshade that Darren James cannot helm a series on his own. Seems like a really nice guy, but he doesn't have the look or the penis size to be more than a second string male performer.
Sean is a solid performer & his directing isn't so bad. It's the CRAPPY editing of his movies that really drives me bananas. It's like he just got a new video mixing console and wants to use every cheesy effect he can use. Sean has given us porn fans some GREAT performances and I've always been a big fan of his Anabolic work & his EA series' Erotic City & Blown Away! I can't wait to see his new project PXP!!! jim
anything I have seen with Mark Anthony in it has always been a good scene, he seems a pretty down to earth type of guy, which seems to be rare in some of these interracial scenes, some of his scenes in the 18 and interracial series have definately been amongst the best I have ever seen, also another decent black performer John E. Depth.

Just to add something real quick. I think all this talk about Sean Michaels vs. other male performers makes the shortage of quality male talent, both black and white, ever more clear.
There's enough talent out there but company owners are afraid to use them so we're stuck with the same guys over and over again. It truly sucks but what are you gonna do about it?

For the record I think Mark Anthony sucks. He has this retarded obsession with fucking with his boxer shorts on and when he cums his cum stats in his dick he then has to masasage his dick to get the cum out. This guy is almost as annoying as Wesley Pipes.
Its only a matter of time before Sean Michals try to force his new give him a new line to direct. This guy thinks its his destiny to make shitty movies.
