Ok, I'll give it a try. Even though I wasn't much of a fan of the first one, I still like Annette Schwarz for whatever reason - I find her pretty adorable.
Great director, they mystery around her only adds to it :) I hope for a follow up on Massive facials, love how she gives comments during the scenes.

I too am a huge fan. Like Gore Gore, I believe Riot Sluts 2 was the one who introduced me to her, and I clearly recall being blown away. Her work, and the work of her "brother from another mother," William H. is the best stuff coming out from any studio for the past few years. There are other good directors out there, but none of them are as consistent as the Elegant crew. Kudos, Mason!

+1! It's like the moment I think it, I hear it coming out of the sexy voice of the mysterious Mason.
Just wanted to add my name to the list as a huge fan of her work. I love the interaction she has with the girls both before and during the action. Hope she continues directing until she's old and gray.

Missy Woods is a good and freaky performer who does just about everything. Mason I hope to see her in a future film.
Watched Bootylicious Girls recently...awesome stuff. The last scene - Isis Taylor and Manuel - is epic. I've watched it three times since. Meanwhile, Tori Black is Pretty Filthy is still on repeat in my household. Such a great film. Mason's stuff (and perhaps EA as a whole) is the only gonzo (nb. I don't watch that much) that I can just sit and watch and talk about. Edited by - Gore Gore Girl on 5/25/2010 8:44:21 PM

I loved the Misty Stone and the Kristina Rose scenes in "Bootylicious Girls". Very hot sex while showcasing the ladies physically. Please, keep the opening tease segments coming. These can be as long as possible. Great signature!
Mason is an artist with a wonderful imagination I hope Kristina Rose keeps working with her as she is the once in a decade girl who has it all. They have made some amazing stuff and they could keep on just getting better and better
I love working with Mason. We always have fun and we are always both extremely passionate about each project we work on. She gets me. :) I think it shows in the stuff we do together.

Mason will there be an installment of Porn Star Workout or Battle of The Asses coming out in the near future? Plz provide us w/ some updates whenever you become a/v.
Do I dare join here, in my sincere appreciation to Mason/Sam No, for being one of the very best directors in the adult fim industry, after "slamming" her a bit in another post?--YES! For The sexual intensity which this lady manages to get out of her female performers is truly in a class all by itself, imho, and that should most definitely be acknowledged. Gender-wise, Mason aka Sam No, is not only by far the finest female director to ever come down the porn pike, but one of the very best "chairs" EVER in porn, not only imho but that of a lot of posters here at ADT. Tori Black, in this thread, penned her appreciation for the lady far, far better than I, and revealed to us that unique and "special" bond, which male directors will never experience, in working with female performers--"Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus," in each and every social/professional relationship, and "thats a fact, Jack!" Thus, when it "cums" to getting the "all" out of any female performer, a lady directing, especially one with the sensitivity and innovative skills of Mason, has an overwhelming advantage over her male counterparts, just as a man would, in dealing with the "inflatied egos," permeating the personna of 95% of the male performers in the business, imho. I couldn't begin to recall all the HOT scenes--just wish they had been really SMOKING ooooo's-- which Mason/Sam No has brought forth onto the "stream screen," and sincerely HOPE that her outstanding visionary talent (highly unusual for the gonzo genre, I might add), will continue for many, many MOONS OOOO. But, PLEASEEE! Mason, should you happen to see this, never again let one of your productions, featuring Lisa Ann, Julia Ann, Shyla Stylez, Tory Lane, or any of the other luscious ladies with whom you work, go by without frequent "tight" camera shots of sexy cigarette lightup and deeep inhale scenarios, notably within the context of various seduction or "tease" scenes, natural after-sex smoking, (which, for some reason, has very rarely EVER been filmed in porn)), and, of course, during bts segments, where, having one of our fantasy ladies casually lighting up her cigarette in real life situations, reveals a bit more of her "humanity," so to speak. Of course, I'm sure seeing the above ladies, in lengthy, close camera smoking fellatio scenarios within your future films (we smoke fetishist favorite form of sexual foreplay, btw) would be too much to ask--Hint! Hint! Now, bring on the salvos from the "anti-smokeites," out there--my flax jacket is strapped on tight!

I've said it elsewhere but the Asa Akira/Manuel scene in Bootylicious Girls is the best scene yet for Asa. The Gracie Glam/Brooke Adams g/g intro and scene in Girl Crush is unlike anything I've ever seen in gonzo, seriously. Very emotional, bittersweet and intimate.
I just want to say Mason may be the most overrated female porn director I've seen since Candida Royalle. There are a LOT better female directors who deserve more credit -- Belladonna, Bridgette Kerkove, Diana Devoe, Tina Tyler, ... I could go on. Lot of guys posting here seem to more infatuated with Mason herself than her work. Not trying to start a flame war just trying to point out the fans from the fanboys.

^ Dude, you may have noticed this is an appreciation thread. If you don't appreciate her as a director, take it up on another thread. Also, if you're not trying to cause a flamewar, as you claim, you may want to not insult those who disagree with you by calling them 'fanboys.' It's also ironic since a number of posters here are actually women. Edited by - BlackSix on 8/16/2010 6:11:47 PM
I don't get it. Hey I'll bite. What is the difference between a fan and a fanboy? I really liked Pagoda's posts here. I personally think Mason is anything but over rated. Her work may not be everybodies cup of tea and that is cool. What I do like about Mason is that her work IS her cup of tea. Many of her tastes happen to coincide with my tastes and I appreciate that. There is a fine line between gonzo and vignettes and Mason hits Vignettes better than any other director I have seen. (My opinion of course.) Elegant Angel has always been a leader when it comes to Vignettes and they have produced some of the best ever.

If you haven't seen Asa is Insatiable yet, check it out, possibily my favorite Mason video since her twin epics with Annette Schwarz (and I really liked her Kristina Rose and Tori Black videos so that's saying something). The scenes here tend to be a bit rougher, nastier and some (like the opener) darker than some of Mason's more recent work. Even if a scene doesn't play to my specific tastes Mason can make it hot. Case(s) in point: don't care for anal much but the Asa/Manuel scene here is very intense and hot. This tops even her great scenes with Manuel in Bootylicious Girls and Slutty and Sluttier 12. Similarly, I'm not usually a fan of threesomes but the one here with Asa/London/Manuel is terrific. The sheer sweaty excess and abandon on display is pretty remarkable. London is a full participant, unlike a lot of threesomes where the energy and focus shifts to one performer here the balance is effective and hot. The opening gang bang, IR threesome and much vaunted DP scenes all have something of interest in them as well. Asa's performance is really something, I think this videos pushes her into a next level as a performer (and I'm not just talking about doing anal and DPs). It's also very well shot, with a lot of medium shots that keep the performers integrated in space, so you can see their full bodies, with the occasional move in for a close-up, either of the 'action' or their faces. The pacing is very good, probably the biggest rarity in gonzo porn, and I've watched several scenes right through without any FF.
just by reading what kristina and tori black had to say about Mason/Sam No just confirms my ideas about her. she has always sounded like a woman who makes people feel comrtable. not one time watching her videos have i ever felt i was doing something wrong by watching. i can't say that about some director who speak on camera. P.s. is she also the woman on the see her squirt clips on the internet?
^ That's a big reason I enjoy her movies so much (aside from simply producing well-shot and creative product). After reading her chapter in Naked Ambition, where she discusses her feminist position and approach to porn, I simply had to go and find her films, and I've been a fan ever since. I was concerned that her essay would be just talk, and the product wouldn't be distinct from anything else, but I was happily mistaken. She practices what she preaches.
I want to see Asa's movie mainly because of the adult theater gang bang. Glad to read it's good. Even more excited to read that some scenes are harder and darker. Thanks Black Six. I'm about ready to tap out on Mason/Sam No's current stuff. A girl can only take so many scrunch-butt bikinis, gold bangles, and booty beats.
I second Bree in the Massive Facials 3 suggestion. NOTHING would be hotter.

Has Mason ever done a Marie Luv scene besides the 3 way with Tori Black in "Pretty Filthy"? The world needs a scene featuring Marie Luv given the Mason treatment.

Well, I'd say it has become less rough when Mason returned to EA, her early videos for them were pretty rough. But from what I've read Mason says that's because she wants the videos to reflect the desires of the women she is filming, so that's probably why the videos of Annette Schwarz and rougher than Alexis Texas.
Are we going to wait another year or more for 3rd version of Massive Facials?I am just curious about that.Does she have to give break that long?I already suggested my the most favorite names, however I would like to add JACKIE DANIELS(if she is still in biz?), BREE OLSON, CARMEN KINSLEY(if she is still in biz?), CHRISTINE ALEXIS.
Sorry that i am so late... but there will be nobody EVER that appreciates Mason more than me. I feel Love deep Love for only three women in this World my mother, Lorelei Lee and MASON. You have no idea how good she makes me feel just sitting next to hear! She has the possibility to see right through me! I want her back in just being my MASON! I am so jealous i can not help it!

Thanks for the comments Annette, I recently saw a scene you must have done for Jules Jordan a while ago and it was excellent, have you seen the documentary Graphic Sexual Horror yet? It has a lot of Lorelei Lee in it, she comes across as the most intelligent and well spoken of the performers for the old Insex site.

I'm late to the appreciation party but I also think Sam No is one of the best directors in the business. I'm especially grateful for the Lisa Ann blowbang scene in Massive Facials 2. In the original Massive Facials, Dakoka Brookes was my favorite girl and that was an awesome scene too. Rebeca Linares was hot too, but wouldn't be somebody I'd request. Kristina Rose was fun to watch too, and Katie St. Ives looked better than anything I've ever seen her in though she is still far from a favorite for me. I just love the style that Sam No directs the girls and interacts with them as they get busy with the cocks. I'd love to see her help out but I won't hold my breath for that. I haven't seen much of her other work because I'm mostly a blowbang fan and I usually stick to that genre unless my favorites are involved. I'd love to see some of my favorite girls be directed by Sam No in Massive Facials 3 but if not, anything else would be great. I sure hope we don't have to wait past 2011 for the next edition of Massive Facials. The movies are amazing and it is so sexy to have it directed from a female perspective. I really think Sam No enjoys watching as much as us fans do, and she clearly loves telling the girls how to work it. I love the fact that Lisa Ann headlined the second one and got the cover and I hope some of my other favorites might be in the next one. Here's a quick wish list for who I'd love to see most: Amy Reid Angelina Castro Audrey Bitoni Claire Dames Holly West Julia Ann Nikki Sexx Phoenix Marie Priya Rai Velicity Von I'd list Audrey Bitoni and Priya Rai as doubtful candidates and I've seen Phoenix Marie make posts that she wouldn't wantto work with anymore than three cocks so she might not be suitable either. However, Phoenix is currently on fire and might be shooting a blowbang scene for Jonni Darkko so hopefully she'll be ready by the next volume. All of the girls are hot and sexy and would make awesome scenes so I'll just eagerly wait and hope at least one of the 10 gets a role in the next blowbang masterpiece by sexy Sam No. anathema, I also think Bree Olson is a great choice and Kristina Rose agreed so that she have some pull to have sexy Bree starring in another Sam No classic. Carmen Kinsley is no longer in the business and I wouldn't really be too thrilled about seeing Christine Alexis or Jackie Daniels but perhaps you wouldn't want to see some of the girls on my list. I do know that we can agree on Bree.
I'm glad that we agreed on Bree Olson, but I just want to see some fresh faces on Blow Bang movies.For example Kristina Rose has been in 2 or 3 already.I know it's not easy as we talk and they cannot just go and pick a girl.I know some girls really don't want to be in Blow Bang movies.I already listed my favorites in this topic months ago, but I can repeat some of them now again. TORI BLACK JENNIFER WHITE JENNA PRESLEY BRYNN TYLER I hope you agree on these names too:)
