Mythmaker, since you took the time to write the whole JJ marketing brochure. I'll give you our opinion back. Maybe gonzo isn't our thing anymore I'll admit... Its all pretty tired. But...I am probably one of many that just never got or bought into the whole JJ hype machine. So we'll agree to disagree. When JJ makes a great movie than maybe i'll change my mind. He has never come close to anything like Mr. John Stagliano's Safado movies or some of the other top porn directors (Blake, Armstrong, Ninn, Eli Cross, to name a few). Jordan comes off as one really egotistical dude and his marketing ad with the chessboard thing is just plain arrogant. It was a shot at Mr Stagliano, like he was the King, now I appoint myself the King. Thats BS. I don't see any other director pulling that crap. Read his bio on his website its embarrasingly arrogant. No one will ever accuse the guy of being humble thats for sure. 1. More content than anyone else?. Many companies put out 4 hour DVDs. Hell I seen 20 hours in a box! JJ didn't start that. 2. Crafted his scenes from day one? Please don't use gonzo and craft in the same sentence, they don't belong... Not when you shoot in the same living room set over and over and just move the furniture around. Lighting is generally good... like it should be... nothing special. Doesn't look like he uses any extra lighting, could be wrong though. I seen some bad lighting and color in some of his movies. Am I expecting to much with gonzo? 3. Every girl is a work of art? Art and gonzo don't go together in the same sentence. Art is Andrew Blake, Brad Armstrong, Michael Ninn, Cross. So don't be silly. Every director dresses girls in lingerie and has from the beggining of filmed porn. He didn't invent lingerie and porn... But it sounds like you think he did. 4. Chemistry... sixth sense? Oh paleeze... So he has special powers that other directors don't have. I knew there was a secret somewhere. You need to get on this dudes payroll if you ain't already. 5. Everyone in porn casts the same girls over and over and over, with the same different body types, recognizability and style. Nothing new or innovative here... Sorry but my opinions aren't any weaker than your opinions. Thats what everyone is here to do. express views.
Aren't you reading into that chessboard ad a little bit? I mean, he does come across as quite self-confident, and even smug, but personal antipathy towards Stagliano? Nah. The Evil Angel business model was/is that the directors own their own movies, and are free to leave the company when they wish. Jules did. But he did contribute one of his old scenes to Evil Angel's Defend Our Porn compilation. He didn't have to do that.New content. Not compilations. But personally, I do get tired of all the double disc releases from him and other directors. Since the long total running times are less the result of more scenes than they are of longer scenes. The scenes that run 30 or 40 minutes or even longer are great for when the girl is one one of my very favorites, but with girls that I like but don't love the long scenes can get tedious. I mean, there are girls that I would happily watch without ever hitting FF in a 20 minute scene, but I start checking my watch and thinking about that FF button when the scene runs longer than a half hour. Jules made his name with movies that had to be just short enough to fit on a VHS tape, and they would include extra footage on the DVD as an extra. It's quite possible that today he's leaving in fat that he would have trimmed out when he was younger, but he's not the only director who has fallen into that trap.Compared to a lot of the other gonzo around early in this decade, his videos were really well shot and lit. Certainly better than the 'couch in office' scenes. Of course he uses lights when shooting in studios or other interior locations. He may not need them for shooting in mansions with big banks of windows. I do wish he had been more familiar with his camera and had done more test shots before he shot Lex the Impaler 3, especially the Shyla Stylez scene.We get it, you don't like gonzo. I've noticed that feature fans on ADT seem to feel persecuted, and there are certainly many asshole gonzo fans, but a lot of the feature fans here really come across like a classical music fan who tells everyone who will listen that popular music will surely be the downfall of western civilization but is perplexed that people don't like him. Anyway, no, a lot of other gonzo directors didn't dress girls in lingerie. Girls usually brought suitcases of their own clothes to set and would decide what to wear on set. The outfits that were often worn could better be described as stripper clothes than lingerie. I think there's a difference between booty shorts and dayglow fishnets and fine lingerie. Of course, not all of Jules scenes have the girls in lingerie, either. Sometimes he goes more fetishy, other times he has the girl in figure flattering street clothes and they act like he's picking them up off of the street. Going on, sure there have always been scenes that had girls in lingerie, but frequently all-sex fans found the action boring, however much we liked the outfits the girls were wearing at the beginning of the scenes.Actually in the last couple of years he has gotten complaints from some quarters about his shooting girls over and over again.Over the years Jules has shot some girls that shot for nobody else or for very few others. And there have been pretty girls who shot for many other people but Jules managed to get better or harder performances out of them than anyone else who shot them did. And some of the other directors you named are known for favoring girls with a particular hair color or body type. If you can't tell, I'm in between the 'Jules is a gonzo god' and the 'Jules is overrated' schools of thought. I don't rush out and get his every release, because a lot of them will have girls that aren't my type or that I only like, and none that I love. I have never written a full review of a Jules Jordan movie, but there have been times that on XRent one of his movies will be rated 5 star with hundreds rating it and I've only given the movie 4 stars. Earlier in this decade, Jules frequently had girls with the same caliber of beauty as the porn magazines liked to shoot, and they weren't in trashy stripper or streetwalker clothes and were often in fairly nice lingerie, stockings, and heels; and they were captured on video with fairly high technical values, and the action was usually pretty hot, and his scenes usually didn't have as much potential to make one feel icky the way some other non-feature studios and directors of the era could. It's not that other directors didn't shoot some hot stuff too, but assuming you liked the girls in a particular movie, Jules's movies were more consistently good to the gonzo viewer with more mainstream tastes. I'm not sure whether he's got the same edge today. Not all of his more recent movies shout "Buy Me Now!" to me. But others do intrigue me.
I would like to assert that I do not personally attack anyone. I do feel compelled to respond to posts that come out of nowhere, make claims that are not well represented in their composition, and are, frankly, negative in nature. Now, I started this thread as a fan of Jules' work, and I wanted to establish a platform to express opinions, both positive and negative, about the work. I'm not claiming ownership, don't get me wrong, but I want to be clear about my intent. I think I share the sentiment with other ADT posters that being critical is fine, and encouraged, but when the flavor turns from constructive to personal people get uncomfortable. Especially when this forum is a chance to (hopefully)be connected with the industry folks, we want it to be a positive experience. If the forum is cast as a place where people rant and rave, I don't see how they would want to continue to participate. I enjoyed your second post much more than the other, and thankfully you could use my structured post as a model to express more thoughtful comments. You are welcome. As far as being on the payroll, not quite. I also am huge fans of many directors including Jake Malone, Chris Streams, Jay Sinn, Mick Blue, Ivan, William H, Mason, John Leslie, Robby D., Celeste, and on and on... This thread just happens to be focussed on Jules. Keep posting, for sure, cause talking about this stuff is fun and I do like to learn from other people about how they view adult material and what impresses them and what doesn't. Please don't feel I am being pedantic or preachy, but I do believe strongly that this forum should not be negative for the sake of being negative. I also enjoyed the response to your second post by Gentleman Jon. It didn't occur to me that feature fans don't have much of a following here. Strange, in a way, as I do enjoy Eli Cross, Stormy Daniels, Ninn, Armstrong, and such. I simply enjoy and pay much more attention to wall-to-wall and gonzo. Ass Worhsip 11! ass Worship 11! Ass Worship 11! Needed to get that out...

My post wasn't negative for the sake of being negative. It is another point of view being expressed. I call things the way I see them. Obviously you don't share my views. That's what makes the world go round. Yea I could have done without your sermon... but you feel as strongly as i do... just different. Nothing wrong with that. When you portray yourself in a certain way to the public by the things you say and write or the way you advertise, I think it is fair game to discuss it. Gentleman Jon said it very well. JJ comes off as being very smug. Thats the image he put out there publicly of himself. I think it is fair to discuss it. In a nutshell my point has been this... all things being considered and all the material that has ever been produced in the adult movie business. JJ is given waaay to much credit for the work he does. He is really overrated, its that simple. He just isn't on the same level with the really top notch directors that I mentioned earlier. But I guess it ain't fair to compare any simple gonzo maker to a really creative high end feature movie director. I'll concede that. They are two different animals. That's not a personal attack. Just throwing a differing opinion into the mix...

I guess we have to add March to the list. The only thing that would be worth all this waiting would be a Darkside volume featuring either Lisa Ann, Amy Ried or Julia Ann... Edited by - midnight max on 3/18/2009 2:39:40 PM
I agree ^. Jules Jordan has lost the plot IMO. Hes lost sight of all of the great series upon which he built his name...Elegant Angel on the other hand have stuck to their guns and keep plowing out the familiar series with what seems to be huge success. Last year was such a weird year for JJV - hardly any re-curring series at all.
Why are the agents doing this? I can't understand it. Anal brings more money for the girl and for the agency. So what is the reason to holding them back? I would buy much more US made porn if more girls would do anal and not the same bunch again and again. The solution for me is to buy less US and much more Euro porn. It's a shame when a movie called Beyond the Call of Booty 3 has no anal scenes in it. I can't imagine that such movies make much profit?! Edited by - camaban on 3/19/2009 7:22:30 AM

No comparison to Elegant Angel and Jules Jordan's directorial efforts as of late. Elegant's been kicking his ass. Come on now Jules, wheres the new good material?
Man...where to begin with this one! ha.......first of all, i'm the last person that should be called arrogant...do you ever see shameless self promotion from me?...I dont think so..I would rather have fans discuss my movies than me trying to initiate hype...I rarely do interviews, I spend over $100k every year exhibiting at trade shows mostly for fans, do you see me signing autograph cards there?...hell no. They "hype machine" you speak of is one created by fans, not me. It sounds as if "you wish" has some kind of personal bone to pick, I did some research on previous posts and noticed allot of hyping up Tommy Kaye, this could be coincidence of course, but i've had "suspect" posters come out of the woodwork allot to throw knives. Now, "you wish" has not made any specific references to movies i've shot and why they are not to his liking, he is obsessed with a simple picture, that I thought was a cool pic simple as that, it does not have any overtones to it. This guy is looking on my myspace and bio on my website(which I did not write, jeff marton did, I actually cant stand it but....), maybe for some reason he is just obsessed with how successful I have become??? I was one of the first directors to come on adt and interact with fans, because I am one, is this arrogant? Why my movies are unique....well lets just say casting has allot to do with it, my goal is to shoot the ultimate sex!, I get the hottest girls, combine them with capable guys who they want to work with to provide amazing chemistry, luckily girls love to perform to the best of their ability for my camera and it shows...you will see girls in a light no other has shot them in, but dont take it from me, take it from the fans, I combine this with state of the art video equipment, my camera settings and angles, timing with things is also important, I use allot of natural light so I can get 360 degree angles, so occasionally you may see some shadows, I hate being restricted to 180 degrees with lights to my back, you may see me shooting in allot of frequent locations, this is mostly for technical aspects, I like to see girls from head to toe able to walk around and show all angles. Lets talk about wardrobe...in the late 90s most directors shot girls wearing whatever was in their suitcases, I started dressing the girls up head to toe in high priced wardrobe, I think I was one of the few at the time that cared to do this, now some companies have full time "stylists" that dress the girls up, also producers had girls do their own makeup, I have always hired the best in that field to get the results I get...this all adds up to focusing on attention to detail....this is one of the biggest elements of my movies, which others do not get...I do not have people write scenarios or scripts, I have no lighting people, no boom mikes, no extra people on set, the themes are all concepts created by myself, these some of the factors, but certainly not all that have helped me croat great product. Evil Angel, I was not hired by Evil Angel, I was approached by John to be distributed by them. I am friends with everyone at EA, there is no bad blood, I am grateful that John helped to make Jules Jordan Video a worldwide brand, but we both benefited from this relationship, EA helped take me to another level, and in turn I took them to another level. If EA was the sole reason for my success, after leaving them I would be out of business, this wasnt a one sided relationship. Some said I would fail, but I thrived, I took a risk, no one has left EA and been this successful, obviously some cant stand it. Where have I been?, obviously running a business that has allot of employees and producers has lots of variables that keep me very busy on a daily basis, all this is to provide fans with the best quality adult entertainment possible, this is only one aspect, the economy has zero percent factor in not releasing as many movies lately.... lets just say what I shoot is fantasy, what I live is reality....I deal with adversities and personal issues in life just like everyone does.....of course it hasnt stopped me....adversity motivates me!.... You will be seeing more frequent releases in the very near future from your favorite series, I dont release frequent volumes of popular series because I would be on Ass Worship #50 by now, and It would be as strong a brand, plus I'm very picky about the talent......if it aint right....it aint coming out! The early 2000's were full of able, willing and smoking hot talent, this time period will never be duplicated in the future, you had names like Jenna Haze, Aurora Snow, Belladonna, Gauge, Krystal Steal, Shyla Stylez, Taylor Rain, etc etc....who were all doing crazy bang up scenes, i'm still waiting for a crew of girls like these to broaden the horizons of porno again! btw, gentleman john, the shyla tease in Lex 3 was shot blown out and was suppose to be edited with an affect to create a mood, my editor did not apply the affect and it got released, newer versions of Lex 3 have been fixed, trust me I would not shoot a tease that blown out...lol...I had to restrain myself when I saw that..... Anyway, a picture is not always worth a thousand words "You Wish" thanks to all the supporters, gonna be a great 2009!
Btw I wasnt trying to be confrontational, I honestly do hope 2009 is a better year :> Can you just give us just a few hints about Feeding Frenzy 10 or Ass Worship 11 - us fans have been waiting and speculating for ages and just when it looks like the are on the horizon no more news for what feels like 10 years lol...go on Jules!!!
JJ's post is definitely appreciated. I hope you know that most are supporters and appreciate the high end product. There are no expectations for you to post here, and it is cool when you do. Thanks JJ!
You Wish>>>Tell us Chodemaster and anyone else.. what has this guy done that is sooo great and different that hasn't been done before??? <<< Well he got Gina Lynn to swallow 5 loads. Right? He got Lisa Ann to open up her ass. That has been before done but still very rare. I'm not a big JJ fan but I'll give credit where credit is due. I've been seeing some pretty cool stuff. Note one thing that really annoyed me about the Gina Lynn scene was every time they went in for a tight close up the auto exposer on the camera fucked up. C'mon guys. Your suppose to be professionals. Use manual exposer settings.
Today I received an email with this thread link. After reading the whole thing I felt I needed to respond. It seems my name was brought up by Jules. I had no knowledge of this thread until someone brought it to my attention. This past weekend I returned from Russia where I spent the past 3 weeks in production of a documentary film about the European porn and sex industry. Jules knows that the few times we have met and spoke I have been quite cordial and respectful to him. As far as someone else hyping me. I have no control over that. I will say that they thought they were helping me and Russ my partner. But that shouldn't have anything to do with Jules. I personally like Jules movies very much, and what little that I do know of Jules on a personal side, I like and admire. I don't think people realize or can appreciate how hard it is to bring a good production to life, let alone being responsible for starting and running your own company. I have been busting my ass for 15 years doing my own low key thing and I also don't appreciate people taking shots. Everyone's got an opinion and I don't lose any sleep over them. I'm sure Jules won't either. Jules I left a message for you at your office about this thread and I have an interesting business proposition for you. It would be great if you can please return my call. Thanks. Tommy Kaye
I've been a fan of this Jules character since he put it in Cris Taliana's pooper. There was one DVD when he tried it, and she balked. Then in another scene he got it in the back door for a few strokes before she shut him down. Jules, man...talk to us about that.

Tommy Kaye>>>I have been busting my ass for 15 years doing my own low key thing and I also don't appreciate people taking shots.<<< Then you are NOT a good businessman. There are millions of mistakes being made everyday in all kinds of businesses all across the globe every single day and you are part of that Mr. Kaye. The sooner you accept that fact the sooner you will begin to become more productive. I've known people who have busted thier asses (nearly killing themselves) over a piece of shit, barely getting by business. Do I respect these people? Absolutley and thats why I would love to see thier efforts go in a more productive direction. Look, I know where you are coming from. I too have created artistic works. It's like they're your babies. Parents can see nothing but perfection in thier little creations and I'm guilty of this stupidity too. Sure, some people are complete assholes but not everyone. You have a lot brains on this message board just waiting to be picked. It's up to you, do you wanna take advantage of that?

Jules>>>I have no lighting people, no boom mikes, no extra people on set,<<< Uhhh. I for one would love to see more boom mikes used in porn production. I'm simply sick and tired of having get out Windows Movie Maker and adjust the gain everytime the camera get close to a performers face.
I'm not a big fan of Jules Jordan stuff. It is the most expensive and then you get it and it's mediocre. Sure, I'm sure his makeup budget is through the roof... but too much makeup is like the violent blowjobs, it messes it all up. Case in point, I LOVED Missy Monroe until Jules Jordan got ahold of her and dressed her up to look like every other damn porn star. Before JJ she was the dirty little girl next door, with hardly any makeup.... She joins his freakshow and suddenly I don't recognize her and the attitude just ain't the same either... JJ might have better branding, and superior packaging, and craploads of extras on the DVD (does that 2nd disc of nonsense really justify an additional $10??--NO) But ultimately there's more fluff than substance there IMHO. Then JJ starts taking over certain good series and mucking those up too. Like didn't they take over the No Cum Dodging Allowed series or one of those? Whatever they took over, it's all screwed up now. Kind of like what happened to the "Down the Hatch" series, it was great under Anabolic... now it sucks. And I appreciate the differentiation strategy, I too am a businessman... However, it cannot be a bunch of fluff or "sizzle" as the saying goes, where is the freakin steak???? This is the point: I have no shortage of cash to spend on porn, frankly I'm running out of places to stash it (I pretend to hide it like my wife doesn't know....funny no?) and I have made a sincere effort to own every dvd devoted to cum swallowing. I'm up to about 1000 dvds now, no shit. My point (yes, there's a point) Jules Jordan is about the only one I boycott due to the value factor. And again, I'm okay with spending $50 on a dvd if I think it's worth it. Like say Brandon Iron's "50 to 1" series, that's only $1 per cum swallow, that's a bargain. And guess what, it only cost me $10 for each of those videos... so that's $0.20 per cumshot. But I'm supposed to pay $25 or more (and that's on the discount sites) for JJ fancy pants package with a bunch of girls I cannot even see behind the makeup and a bunch of nonsense and then little time is spent on the actual event .... the cum swallowing. Anyway, I've hollered enough. Edited by - seedfeeder on 4/17/2009 12:53:22 AM Edited by - seedfeeder on 4/17/2009 12:55:56 AM
^^@seedfeeder 1000 DVDs devoted to cum swallowing? god-damn man man no offence you might have that collectors psychological complex where it is all about hoarding why would you need so many DVDs, when would you ever find time to watch em all? with that many DVDs there are going to be hundreds you never watch so what is the point in owning them? i am just saying... but on the topic of Jules Jordan, i admit, i am not a devoted fan of his i also do not like the outfits and make-up he tends to dress up the girls in but it cannot be denied the man has shot some SUPER HOT stuff. 2002, 2003, the first few Trained Teens and Flesh Hunter DVDs, those were fucking awesome. modern classics with modern stars. that is why the scenes keep getting released in comp form you had girls like Jenna Haze, Gauge, Aurora Snow, Krystal Steal, Luna Lane, all in one movie i am not even a fan of Krystal Steal and her dodging ways, but her scene in Trained Teens #1... OMG it is shot so good, i can feel the heat, just want to reach thru the TV and grab her tanned ass and fake tits. 7 years later, that whole DVD still makes me salute when i screen it Edited by - empires on 4/17/2009 4:16:02 AM
@ Empire ^^ Yes, I know.... But if you mix obsessive compulsive nature, with some money and a few fetishes, you end up with about 1,000 dvd's and counting. If it makes you feel better, I probably own about 2,000 regular (non-porn) dvds. On the porn ones, ya, there's probably still 300-400 I haven't watched, still in wrapper or whatever. But I do have the time, I don't watch the whole damn thing, I scan on high speed and only care about a few things, mostly money shots. So I don't really watch them all. Porn is like any other addiction... what got you off yesterday must have its dosage increased today, and again tomorrow. Like I said, JJ has some strong points and they've been covered. But he also detracts from the industry by using things like a clown makeup standard. JJ was better a few years ago...it's only the last 3 years perhaps that my beef has arisen. Don't get me wrong, some girls look better with lots of makeup, but some do NOT. So using a standard of "paint them all up to look like high class hookers" is just narrow minded in my opinion. And as I said, I feel a bit ripped off when I buy JJ dvds lately. The crap started when the price really increased. It's a value issue and I don't think I get my money's worth. And obviously, with a 1,000 dvds I'll buy damn near anything close to my interests and am willing to pay for it. JJ is the only one that has made my "boycott for screwing me" list. Ok, maybe a few others are on that list like I think Leisure Time entertainment entered my list 5 or 6 years ago, and anyone else who lies about the content like calling the movie "girls who eat cum" and then it's a bunch of lesbians and midgets lol.
seed, the price of my product has not increased in 7 years, you said paying $25 is too much?, to me that sounds like a good price. You said 10 man cum slam is your favorite, thats great if you prefer that over feeding frenzy good for you, there are more choices than ever to find what you want out there. Sorry for ruining Missy Monroe, I only shot her in one scene for feeding frenzy! lol! oh seed, thanks for putting me on your list next to leisure time, I see the similarities Breast Worship #2 is coming out guys, check it out I think its a great release! trailer and photo gallery is on julesjordanvideo.com

Man, where do I begin. I just saw this tread and thought I should give my two cents in. I've been a Jules Jordan fans since he was shooting films in the northeast back in the turn of the century for Pleasure. To me, he helped revolutionize the gonzo genre during this period and the subsequent years that followed. I respect John Stagliano to the upmost, but I never saw a director shoot tease sequences and the action with so much precision than Jules did back in the day. Plus, he got better and better and better after each film. Truly, it was a steady progression. For those that have asked the question, Why do is this guy held to such high status?, I would just say look at gonzo prior to JJ and a few years after he started filming. He made a big impact. Secondly, many fans like him because it's as if you have a guy behind the camera thinking just like you, the fan, shooting the type of film that you have already plotted in you mind before watching one single clip. Jules is a fan and he directs like one. It's smart business, but for Jules, it's just natural. Also, he's able to bring out the best of most girls that are rather average in other films shot by other directors. Although, this is really about opinion more than anything else, I would say that girls like Tiffany Holiday, Julea London, Mary Jane, Alexis Malone, Brooke Milano, and Rose are a few examples to consider. Other than Lex and a few others, Jules is the reason why I'm still paying attention to the biz today. I think he knows where he wants to go, and he has built a very good team over at JJV, in addition to making good business deals such as acquiring Brazzers. As a proud owner of several JJ titles, I'm content with my collection and those films still hold up today. If Jules ever decided to only dedicate 5% of his time on putting out titles and the other 95% on other elements of his business, I wouldn't be upset because his library is still fresh.

Jules, can you please reply and tell us when the next Ass Worship and Buttworx are coming out? I know you only respond when people insult you or your product, but can we please get an answer for that question?
I didn't know JJ acquired brazzers, excellent business move. See, exactly what I'm talking about brazzers is on to something, it's usually a whole take an innocent girl and turn her into a big slut because she was seduced by a 10" tool... gotta love it. See? Differentiation. Brandi Belle has a similar theme and gets even more creative. So do a couple others but brazzers is the biggest, so killer move. I hope he continues the concept...
Hey Jules, I am interested in picking up Breast Worship 2 but am curious if a blu-ray edition is in the future. I'd rather save my $ for a blu-ray version if that's in the works.
Jules changed the face of porn for the best! Starting with his first productions in 2000 & 2001 ("New Breed" series with Gina Lynn's first scenes, Charmane Star, Miko Lee, Alexis Amore and an early Harley Raine scene (as a blonde)). His movies have always had THE best direction, performers, scene locations and sex! He set the bar very high!
@brazzers: I hope JJ will change one thing: bigger cocks! I personally like their "Teens like it big" website, but most dicks aren't big. And lots of their preview pics are retouched. Fraud! :< @JJ: I love ALL of his stuff. He's the best. Although I'm not gay or whatever, I LOVE his voice! I like how he talks to some girls off-camera, his voice is almost erotic. Whatever, it doesn't turn attention away from the pictures and that's a good thing.

HA! My suspicion was right on. Guys, Jules only answers to the fans when they talk shit to him or his work. Otherwise, he could give a fuck about you. Not a good way to sell your product Jules. Not that you released anything great lately anyways.
I'm really kind of tired of people whining they aren't getting enough responses directly from JJ. While it's true, I hope this forum could be a springboard forgossip/hints/rumours about upcoming releases, it is also for the honest to goodness critiques about the work currently out. No, this isn't about bowing down and glorifying JJ for the sake of doing so, but it's being here does not mean he has to post just to keep us happy. Frankly, I'm happy with the contributions he's made to date - it's provided an angle to the industry I normally don't think about. What we can do to foster discussion about JJ titles we love is, perhaps, speculate who might be a candidate for the loooooooooong anticipated Ass Worship 11. I might like to see Andi Anderson, Ava Rose, and Jayden James. There are so many more, but I'm thinking these girls could just get worked by Steve Holmes or maybe a return of Jean Val Jean.
Ass Worship !! is coming very soon! next few months....luvin I was posting here many years before you even signed up, keeping in touch with fans, I was one of the first directors on here interacting.... ever notice some peoples posts are all complaining, why dont you try posting things you like!.... I'd like to thank MythMaker for starting this thread, but as usual haters come out of the woodwork...
^ Jules, I loved the early installments of the 'Ass Worship' series! Tell me, will the new edition involve the use of large/huge anal toys as seen in previous scenes like Belladonna's scene in Ass Worship 1 or Jayna Oso's or Katja Kassin's scenes in Ass worship 6? Also, has the weapons of 'Ass Destruction' series now been shelved? Haven't seen one of these for a while.
I'd like to thank Jules Jordan for giving me so many hours of porn watching satisfaction. The first dvd I purchased ever directed by him was Jenna Haze vs. Krystal Steal. I know it was a compilation but seeing his work and seeing the calibre of talent he brought to his movies made me want to grab every title in his growing catalogue. He brought to my attention a lot of women whom I never would have even given a second thought if I had not have purchased his movies. 85-90% of the movies I purchase have either the Evil Angel or Jules Jordan Video label on it and that includes most of the other directing talent in his stable. Chris Streams, Erik Everhard, Alex Devoe, Mike John, Chris Rolie, and now his lovely gf Jenna Haze. It's like one stop shopping for me with all this amazing talent under his banner. As with other studios if there is something that doesn't appeal to me at JJV I just don't purchase it. But that happens a lot less with JJV than with other studios.Not everything is going to be my cup of tea. I guess I'm just lucky to have picked a studio like JJV where I can get my fix of great porn. For me I can care less about dates a title should come out as long as JJ maintains his quality and standards on what he does release. I counted more than a dozen titles JJ has released under his banner. It's impossible for me to expect him to release one of those titles every month till the end of the year. Something would suffer and that usually ends up being quality, and I for one would be pissed if I knew I was spending my money on something that was rushed out the door for the sake of meeting a release date. And that is on top of the challenges that face him running JJV at the same time. As long as Jules wants to keep putting out movies I'm gonna keep buying them till I can't buy them no more. Now about Ass Worship....Care to give us any ideas who is going to be included in this?

Has anyone ever wondered like me why Jules has never, ever shot in Europe after all these years. He made it half way there a few times when he went to the East Coast or back to Jersey or whatever. Jules, why can't you cross the Pond?
I would guess that in this economy, it's not cost effective to make a long trip overseas to shoot some footage. He is from Philly, so when he shot East Coast Assault, he was essentially going home anyway, so it wasn't an out of the way trip. Just my opinion.
I definitely am a 'lover' rather than a 'hater', and have enjoyed Mr Jordan's work for years, however it is slightly frustrating that he only seems to respond to people posting negative comments in his thread, that from what I gather was created for people who like his movies to discus his work and/or ask questions. Jules, you should spend the time you have on here replying to questions from genuine fans rather than rewarding, er, 'haters', as you put it by responding to their posts. Focus on the positive my friend!
The thread about the curve in Steven St. Croix's penis apparently being the result of how it healed after an injury reminded me of the BTS/extra footage in the first Slut Puppies. It's been some time since I saw that movie, and I rented it, so I can't get it out and watch it now, but I got the impression that for two scenes in Slut Puppies, Jules reshot the scenes. I got that impression because the extra footage showed scenes with the same girls in the same outfits as were in the movie, but with different numbers of males. One of the scenes that was different between the extra footage and the finished movie was because it was a BBG scene, but one of the males injured his penis and could not continue, and understandably Jules did not want the scene to have a male disappear or be replaced between positions, and so had to reshoot the scene from the beginning without the injured male. It seems like the other scene was also originally a BBG scene, but I don't really remember, nor do I know why Jules decided to reshoot that other scene. But my point is, it's impressive that Jules would reshoot scenes, since depending on how far they got into the aborted first attempt at the scene, he could very well have to rent the location another day and pay everyone twice. I don't how often he has shot scenes twice for other movies, but even if those two scenes are the only two scenes he's ever reshot in his career, I get the impression that two scenes is more than many other porn directors.
actually I had to jump in and finish the scene the same day....makes it pretty efficient to be able to put the camera down and substitute for an "injury" lol... I think travis broke a blood vessel that day, had to go to the doctor.......that was the mackenzie lee scene
Cannot wait for the return of my favourite series. It will be interesting to see who you cast for this one. In a ideal world you will have Gianna Michaels, Pinky, Alexis Texas in it. (can only dream) I will take a wild guess and say you have Luscious Lopez, Kristina Rose and maybe Kelly Divine in it.
I heard Lisa Ann is in Ass Worship 11 and she does her first dp. Don't think it matters who else you get now as this will fly of the shelves. Thumbs up Jules!
speaking of Slut Puppies it looks like there is at least one more installment coming. I was reading an article in AVN and it mentions Jules casting Alyssa Hall in the next Slut Puppies. I'd love to see Tanner Mayes cast in that one too if casting hasn't been completed!
^^^ I read that article, and Slut Puppies is a welcome addition to JJ's line up this year. It's been a bit slow, but with Ass Worship 11 on the way, and Slut Puppies down the pipe, I think JJ the Director is gonna steamroll through the rest of the year!! JJV said in another thread... "Ass Worship 11 is full of cream pies....stay tuned for info, trailer, and photo gallery soon!" Nice Cream pies were always a special thing in JJ vids, and I loved when he collected the stuff in shot glasses and fed it back to the girls... Ass Worship 11 Slut Puppies 3 I'm hoping for : Buttworx 2 Pump My Ass Full of Cum 2 maybe, just maybe Invasian! 4 Asa Akira, maybe a bottled Jandi Lin scene, Tia Tanaka, Jessica Bangkok And I would really love to see JJ do a vid featuring black girls... a niche he's yet to explore

Wow lots of negativity out there. I think Jules record speaks for itself. Been watching his stuff since he got in the business and most in the industry agree that he his one of the top directors and producers out there. And he has a roster of directors that does match up with evil angel and elegant angel,the top companies in the industry. I think that what people must remember one this industry goes through cycles and I think right now its in a valley right now. But still there is quality being produced. Jules is one of them. When you buy his stuff, you get a massive amount of material. With the hottest and best women in the business. So the way I see it, its more bang for your buck. There is a saying less is more. And Jules has kept making quality porn. Also realize he is just not a director but a distruber now. Even if he does 3 to 6 titles a year-less is more. I for one have enjoyed viewing his stuff. I think the tendency is for people to whine and complain about about everything on the internet and message boards have a chance to be worst. All I know that I enjoy his porn and will continue to do so. And man he's with Jenna Haze, that alone deserves our respect. lol Jules,keep the good work you do. I think its rocks and I know i'm not the only one.
Cream pies were always a special thing in JJ vids, and I loved when he collected the stuff in shot glasses and fed it back to the girls...
