Is the fact that they are all released by RLD different than if they were to all release the same movies, but each from a different company? There would still be the same number of movies released. They would just have different labels.

I'm sure that some "revenue stealing" takes place with the glut of new movies. But, that too would still take place if the movies were being released by different companies.

I think Red Light District is going for quantity instead of quality.

I agree that the "brand" has a bit of assembly line to it, but all it takes is the ability to read a box cover to decide what's probably going to be a winner (either because of the director or the cast or the theme). "Multiple POV" kicks ass. I'm betting "Sport Fucking" will be quite good as well. They get the new girls into view faster than anyone else, and the best of their titles have great energy. I'm glad to see that when I go to the video store, I have so many options. True, for me, their DVDs can be hit or miss, and my preference is more for the artier/quirkier Evil Angel stuff, like Joey Silvera's lines, or some of Brandon Iron's original thinking at PXP, but for bread-and-butter (and jam) and poppin' fresh "D'oh!" -- RLD is in the money. I have to say the quality of RLD's series has improved a lot since they first got started -- so I don't think quantity effects quality, quantity just effects your wallet.

So things when good,our formula of coming out with Vhs and Dvd on the same day was great, I feel this is why we got our edge,people started really looking at Red Light district as a top Gonzo company, and we got support from our fans, with this directors such as Mike John, lexington,Everhard, Brandon Irons, mason, mike Stefano,Jules Jordan,Peter North, TT Boy,jewel Denyle, and many more who wanted to own and not just work for a budget,when this route, and it when good for these guys and product was being produced better than ever, look at what the marriage between Jules and Evil Angel, its going great for both of them, isn't this what its all about sharing the wealth. so if the new Tom Byron video that came out this week or the new Mike Stefanio video that came out this week,and than theres the two Red light District movies that came out this week, if they all came out on the same Label or 4 seperate labels, would it matter,I say no, theres about 70 videos that come out a week between all the companies, "Red Light District" comes out with two of those titles weekly, I believe that by the more that comesout weekly, the only ones that get hurt are those who make inferior product, and that is the way it should be,once again the Fans win, and I for one, couldn't be happier about that."My Fucking grammer really sucks"

As far as the same guys being in my movies. yes you will see Erik Everhard, lexington Steele, Mike John,Steve Holmes, Mr Marcus, Darren james, manuel, Mike Stefano,Dick Deleware, Mark Ashley, mr Pete,Cladio Meloni, Roccoforte, TT Boy,Toni Ribas, Brett Rockman, Scott Lyons, Lee Stone, Jon Dough, Brian Pumper,and many more,I think this is a nice variety, and for the ones that only work for Red Light District,and Platinum Pictures, I think there as good as it gets,I think Stefano and Everhard deserve to win Avn performers of the year, I for one will do everything in my power to make this happen.

In closing, I think Red Light District is better than ever, I think the best stuff is yet to come out, for the newer companies such as Platinum pictures, Zero Tolerance,and Dvsx, you guys are all making real good stuff, I for one wish you all the best, keep up the good work so all these great fans can have the best porn ever, this was a tough summer for all of us, lets hope we have a good winter and remember to save your money, because summer will be here once again, for those companies that are making inferior product and ripping the fans off, lets hope they all go out of business.

God Bless America and Skeeter Kerkove who is doing a great Job,To all "Adult Dvd Talk" Members Kudos to all of you, I truely respect all of your opinions,with out you there would be no Red Light District.

I was reading the debate over why RLD seems to work with a pretty exclusive bunch of male performers, and I look at it like this:I only expect certain things out of the male talent, and either they can perform, or they can't. After all, I don't buy the movies to watch the guys. So, in that regards, I would prefer to see the same 10-12 guys, where I know they will give a good effort every time.

Later!

That would be like saying that Paramount Pictures couldn't release two movies in consecutive weeks even if one was a comedy and one was a drama.
Different directors produce different things.
The fans will decide if it's overkill or not.

Oh, and Tommy. A spelling bee champ AND a beautiful dick? hmmm... nice.

Do you guys sell the movies to them
for more than other companies?

All Red Light titles are only $20.
That's More Bang for you Buck!

[Link]

That's the only reason they are on the chart. Red Light has 19 new titles in the top 100

Evil Angel is one of the few companies in adult that has a specific price structure that we NEVER break. For example, if a distributor/store buys more than 100 copies of a movie, they will have a certain price. If another buys 50 -100, they will have a different, slightly higher price. and so on and so on.
We do not wheel and deal. We simply make a product that we hope people will want to buy lots of copies of. The more copies they are able to move, the cheaper their price will be from us.
If you do a price search here at ADT for a RLD title, and then for an Evil Angel title, you will probably see a similar pricing trend among the stores as far as who's cheapest and most expensive.

I agree that there is more than likely some cannibalization of sales from the various product lines being released so closely together. There are ways, however, for RLD to mitigate that effect if they are so inclined. The obvious step, which they're already doing, is to space out the release schedule so similarly themed titles don't come out the same week or month or whatever. Brand New and Just Over Eighteen come to mind, or No Cum Dodging Allowed and Swallow My Pride. Duh. Like I said, that sort of thing is pretty obvious. But a less obvious step would be to tone down the RLD brandname and promote the brandname identities of Mike John, Erik Everhard, Vince Vouyer, etc., thus encouraging the consumer's perception of differentiation among the various product lines. More individualized boxcovers would help too, which Lex seems to do a good job of. Evil Angel is the model for this concept. Although one might see a thread of similarity among their boxcover designs, Jules, Joey, and JS are their own brand names and nobody confuses one for the other. The importance of the Evil Angel brand name on top of each director's brand name seems to be as sort of a gold standard for quality.

Anyway, that how I basically see it.

There are many different business models -- from a few select releases every decade to many consistently good (but may not be great) releases on a regular basis. I think that Dion knows what he is doing and has a good business model. As long as RLD can maintain the quality of the dvd and video, keep up with the interest of the buyers, get the latest hot babes, have quality production and direction, keep up the advertisement, maintain the web page timneliness, and get the products out on the release date exactky and everytime, RLD should be set. RLD is one of the few comapnies that keeps the release date schedule well. Most companies do not even seem to think that release dates are meaningful schedules and some do not even bother to post the release date much less keep it. RLD is doing porn the right way and as long as the production values are kept, it should be successful.

I am looking forward to RLD's Double Anal Plugged out today and PlatinumX Anal Expedition out next week.

On a side note, I was disappointed in South of the Border as the babes were not all that attractive. Evil seems to have the cutest South American babes in their South American themed releases.
