Mike I searched and couldn't find a "Mike Quasar Appreciation" Thread, so I thought I'd start up one. I just bought "Head Case 5" and not only is it hot, but your BTS is funny as shit! I would almost buy a collection of just your BTS material - its that chuckle inducing. Hell the scene where Kristina Rose opines about garden gnomes alone was hilarious. I also grinned when you poked fun at all of the standard BTS questions by coming up behind Evie Delatosso and jokingly grabbing her and demand that she answer the "standard questions". You are like the clown prince of porn. Bravo My only pet peeve about "Head Case 5" would be that the gals stay clothed. I wish they had gotten naked beforehand, but oh well. Thanks for being the purveyor of smut that we all know and love

I do a lot of complaining (moaning & whining) on these pages about what I consider to be wrongheaded approaches to camera positioning, angles, movement, quick-cut editing, blah blah. But I too acquired Head Case 5 and was struck dumb by MQ's discipline and and good sense in his camerawork. No rotating the camera out of level, or moving and skewing angles out of easily viewable visual perspective. No jazzed up, jerky editing bullshit, just enjoyable, expert use of the filming process and confidence that his target audience has attention spans longer than that of a dog-pecker gnat. Needless to say, I'm checking out others in the Head Case series, and I'm saying straight up to MQ: You, sir, have resparked my faith in porn directors. After 20+ years of checking out almost every genre and era of porn, I'd about given up hope. Oh, and introducing me to the gorgeous Evie Dellatosso didn't hurt a bit either. All casting was of general excellence.
Quasar is the man. Surprised there wasn't a thread for him already. He puts out quality stuff, especially the ZT/3rd Degree interactive titles. And might i say he is a lucky guy, having shot Tori Black's first anal in an interactive movie no less. One of the better directors out there.
Wow. My own thread. I am both humbled and honored. And I'm almost certain that this thread wasn't started by a close friend or relative posing as an ADT member :)
Nope..I just really love your movies, your irreverant talk is great. Just now I remember the BTS to the Ass Cleavage episode with Arianna Jolie (funny shit). I was surprised that you didn't have your own thread as well. After finishing the Head Case 5 movie the Kristina Rose & Mina Leigh scenes will be in my "Go To" file. Keep on keepin on I wish I had your job!
I'm bumping my own thread because I just can't accept that the Brian Pumper appreciation thread is three pages long. I'm also going to register 5 or 6 new screen names to keep this thing going. I'm sorry. I have so very little in my life.
I just stumbled upon the "Sisters" movie with Tori Black and Sasha Grey. I've got to see that (just think, you and Steven Soderburgh directed the same actress, you're one step removed from Benicio Del Toro and Catherine Zeta-Jones)
In praise of the Quaze - kissing his rosy red ass for 3 years and counting.... I'm sure I can dig up more when I search. Here is another essay in your honor: <brDirector of the Year? I'll raise a frothy mug in your honor tonight - granted, it doesn't take much to get me to raise a frothy mug in honor, but I digress. One more reason to support ZT is their refusal to lower the quality of their product with water marks; this gives them and like-minded companies (e.g. Jules Jordan Video) a significant edge over the competition when deciding who I am going to support.
Is this where the line starts to kiss Mike Quasar's ass? Oh, I'm there. He's smart, he's funny, and he does good work. Why isn't more of porndom like Mike? To the Quaze:
Both are shooting in June to be released in September and thank you for your fine taste in quality lesbian erotica.

Wow Walter, What an info?? I was not aware of Mike's such comments, I liked them really. However after I read them I begin to think that he has choosen a wrong job, he could be philosopher or sociologist.
Quasar: Since we're all such adoring fans, I was wondering if and when you might consider giving us some BTS peeks at Interactive Sex with Tori Black. I know the title's release is still a long ways off, but I and everybody else would love a snippet here and there of its production. No pressure. It's not like I'm threatening to defect to Pumper's thread any time soon.
sorry my friend but i was in rio buried in brown ass :) i think your movies have continually gotten better ever since you got that canon off your shoulder and even better now that you have a sony in your hands. i can also say that you are without a doubt the 2nd funniest guy in porn (sorry but that little pat myne guy cracks me up) on a personal note and i truly mean this... getting to know and hang out with you was the best part of being at 3rd/zt. well that and going all over the world fucking those hot girls..LOL
That's definitely great news, can't wait to see those new installments, every single one of them is a high end product. Any word on the casting yet, if you're willing to share? Is there any possibility of a Julia Ann/Puma Swede scene on one of those new releases? Edited by - bandanoantri on 5/9/2009 3:38:57 PM
I'm working on that one. Puma was in volume 3 but she's awesome so maybe we can make an exception and repeat her. I'l also working on editing the Tori Black interactive. Should have a trailer in a few days on the ztod.com site.
^^Trailer in a few days....Awesome Mike, you are the man. Can't wait to see it.

Thanks a lot! That would be really exciting and the G/G scene of the century.Oh yes, absolutely awesome, and if there's an exception to the rule, it certainly should be Puma. Thanks again!
Poor Mike, his thread was all the way on page 6. But hey, if you're interested in suggestions for your upcoming g/g movies... I'd love to see Emy Reyes and London Keyes together. I saw them in an orgy scene, and they had amazing chemistry. They desperately need a 1-on-1 scene. I'd also highly recommend Taylor Vixen. I know she lives out of state, so it may be tough to book her, but if you can get her, you will not regret it. Whatever you do, I'm looking forward to them.
Sorry for the late reply. Grand Theft Anal has been put on hiatus indefinitely. The new reality of the biz dictates that we need the broadest appeal possible and GTA was just too narrow of a niche. We might bring it back but it won't as an "anal only" series.
Hi Mike - I'm a HUGE fan of passionate, erotic, and hopefully nasty girl girl series. I've seen finger Lickin Good and loved it, but have yet to try Girlvana, which is odd because it's like the top rated girl-girl series out there! I'm wondering if you find girls making out, undressing each other, and otherwise having natural build-ups in scenes as awesome as I do. I have aparticular fetish for girls sniffing each other... just the thought of smelling pussy, let alone tasting it is so erotic - especially if it invilves dirty talk or commenting how good, or bad/nasty, it smells!! Do you direct girls to do things like this, or do you let their chemistry play out naturally? I'd love to see more girls sniffing underwear, ass cracks, and pussy... really getting their noses in and sniffing like they love it!! Which they probably do! Ha-ha
I could watch 2 hot girls make out for the whole scene and that would be enough. Anything else is a bonus. Once they start breaking into extended dildo sessions, I lose interest. I always let the natural chemistry play out in Girl/girl scenes, unless there isn't any and then I usually send them home.
Hey Mike, what happened to the trailer for interactive sex with Tori Black, that you said was coming. With all this news about BWA15 it would be good to see some attention back to Tori and this DVD.
I was gonna say the same thing. It would nice to see some attention back to Tori and this dvd. Even though i am looking forward to BWA15 and AS11 and other films coming out this summer, most of the anticipation for me is for Tori's interactive. Edited by - valo on 6/2/2009 9:02:08 PM

Trailer is coming this week. I'm still working on Julia Ann and Puma scene. I did just shoot Julia Ann and Lexi Belle in an older woman/younger girl scenario. Very hot stuff.
Allow me to add my praise to Mr. Quasar. I have seen a lot of his work and it's always solid and crystal clear. He knows how to show off the girls to help them look their best. (Granted, with some of the talent he works with, that's not a very difficult feat to accomplish!) And yes, he is funny as hell (in the figurative sense...I imagine if hell is a real place it's probably not very funny!) Well, he's funnier than I am, as I've just proven. to Mr. Quasar for a job well done! Keep us and .

Not to take away from your editing of Interactive with Tori Black(A title that i WILL be purchasing) but since Lisa Ann got an Interactive title, which she deserved might I add! I think it only fair Julia Ann should do an Interactive with you too. I wanna say "Tit for Tat" in this situation but I think you already know that..lol.
I honestly had forgotten that you did Virtual Sex, but I don't see why you couldn't do an interactive as well. It would be like an update. I've never owned/seen a Virtual Sex but It always struck me as being unusual to have no scenery in a virtual movie. It feels kind of impersonal and cold. That being said there is a reason DP sell/rent well. They know what they are doing.
Damn you J.A!! We work together so much that sometimes I forget that you're a complete piece of ass exuding sexuality at a level only previously achieved by aliens. You complete me :)
