Gotta say, no one touches John Leslie for editing killer trailers -- a lost art, certainly in porn these days. I remember back (waaaay back) when one of the best things about watching some old-school porn (with a "plot," with "female pubic hair," and, usually, with much younger versions of guys like Leslie, Jamie Gillis, Joey Silvera, and even a little pre-Traci& Ginger) was the dozen or so "cumming attractions" that preceded something from Caballero Control Corporation (that'll be my band name if I ever have one) or Cal-Vista. They were complete mini-movies, and often intensely hot.

Leslie's trailers come closest to that feeling, the way the edits intensify the "drama" always implied in Leslie's better set-ups, and make the sex so immediate, nasty, stylish and hot. You can actually watch one of these and get off in 2-minutes flat! Amazing, really and truly, in this day and age of diminishing returns. (Silvera has good ones, too, and Jules, but Leslie's are tops ...)

That Veronica Da Souza movie trailer was one of the best I have ever seen. But I think Jules Jordan had the best trailers in when he was in Evil Angel.

As for Silvera, that guy doesn't even take time to display the girls' names in the trailer, so you have to wonder sometimes who the fuck is who!

Gotta leave something to the imagination.

True, JJ's trailers were great ... almost a full meal in themselves.

Admittedly, I didn't know how good it was back then. And plot was something that was taken for granted. Unfortunately, everything I saw was either with a car load of over-stimulated teenagers or rented from mom and pop. I remember it all, but couldn't name a title for the life of me. Going back to Super 8, that's scary.

Not too often, but sometimes at a flea market I'll find a good ol classic and throw a five down. Robin, Ginger, Kari - I'd take those babes with bushes over many of todays little sweethearts. Leslie, Gillis, those guys were having some fun!

Art, compared to what's out now, I can dig it, and not just the trailers - outdoors, night club settings, or when Raven had that little romp with her brother. But who needs drama?!

Still though, in todays fast-paced and cost-conscious world, do people really want to sit through more than 1 minute of some trailer? I would.

You're right. I've got a couple old videotapes from that era, and the trailers were great. They did what they're supposed to do--make me want to watch the movie.

I forgot most of the titles, but the one I easily remember was for "Up & Coming," the Marilyn Chambers thing where she was supposed to be a country star. And I'm not even a MC fan.
