I just read the post from Lecastel in the thread by Hardz titled, Anal Gape Fix. He has officially left Ana/Dia. He didn't sound like the parting was on good terms. There seems to be some resentment there. I would like to know the whole story with Ana/Dia. What the hell is going on over there? Nobody has reported anything in a while and the whole story hasen't come out yet. Cal444 has pretty much dissapeared from the boards. If anyone has heard any rumors, please pass them on.
Now you add Lecastel and possibly Everhard to the list of ex-Anabolic directors, and what do you have? One guy left, John Strong. Unless this whole thing is a scam or an incredible re-structuring of Anabolic, I say they are out-of-business. To bad, they were revolutionary in their day.
Don't worry, you will be informed. I introduced him today to ADT and he loved it immediately. You will heare soon where his new movies are going to be released.
Next Sunday we start shooting again for Jean-Yves LeCastel in Prague.
Thanks for introducing him here Steve. Jean Yves Lecastel is like my hero!

The fall of the Anabolic/Diabolic empire is sad. I can't possibly imagine how they could climb to the top again. All of the good directors that were free agents have been scooped up. Michael Stefano, Brandon Iron, Marc Davis, even Skeeter Kerkove and Boby Darlin (husband of the lovely Jessica Darlin) have been signed. At least Red Light District can pick up were Ana/Dia left off. Now that they have all of these great directors they will start putting out more releases. We won't have to complain about DVD releases anymore either. I hope somehow Ana/Dia can manage to stay in the game. I like there new A2M and Ass Creampie series. I just don't think they will ever get back to the top three. I guess we will just wait and see what happens.
You ADT moles (Pontus, Darth) should really investigate about this new trend or fad in the biz: directors/performers who quit to become producers of themselves. Where's the gain? Is that a good or a bad thing for the consumers?
Jocelyn (JY-L) has also stopped selling stuff to Private (probably a while ago). I was of the idea that, in that case, the deal was on a freelancer/publisher basis. What happened? Some of the X-treme's looked heavely chopped. (From LeCastel to Romagnoli & Bellocchio, way to go Private!)

Like Sbando, I was also wondering about the Xtreme titles that JYLC shot for Private. They titles looked chopped up to fit in with Private's newer, cleaner, and more wholesome (holesome??) image. Unfortunately for Private, while such titles can have better distribution in cable TV, etc., it does not sell as well in the retail shops I buy my videos. Hence Private getting rid of JYLC because his titles no longer sell as well (Matador must have sold well enough to reach number 15). Private should give him more money and tell him to make whatever he wants rather than get him fit their new image.
I'm silently absorbing the minutia, collecting it into a big seething, sweating minutia mountian range, waiting for the right time to put on my hiking boots and wade through the seething river of slimy ugly.
