Welcome to the forum.

I would suggest that you go back (6 months or perhaps as far as one year) and read some of the older threads. Many of the topics you have broached have been touched upon, and sometimes covered in depth in the threads.

Don't read only this forum, The Porn Pool, but also go through the Star Crossed, Sex Talk, Polls (which poll members on a large variety of subjects) and the World News & Nonsense.

Did you perhaps post in the wrong thread??

Try this one.

I don't think that's quite what Linus was looking for.

Hmmmm... of course, it is entirely possible that you are not looking for this kind of discussion at all?

The power of the cast compells me.

For me, the single most important factor in any piece of pornography I see is the female cast. If you were to get in a discussion with me and ask me the same question you asked your friends I would sadly almost definitely know the name of the girl I was talking about. Incidentally, double anals and double vaginals sort of freak me out. That's too hardcore for me.

Secondly, the most important factor is the company producing the film. That seems a rather broad thing to say but if you read here a lot I think you will find a lot of agreement with me on this point. So many of us here debate or are eternal champions of our favorite companies, such as Evil Angel or Red Light Distict. And this actually makes a lot of sense because by and large the titles produced from companies all of universal qualites. Rent something from RedLight and you know you are going to get awesome production values. Rent something from RedLight and you know you are going to get phenomenal direction from directors who know how to make girls look better in their videos than they have anywhere else (ie Jules Jordan.) This again returns to the cast because the only pornstar who I will rent in anything is Taylor St. Claire. Whether she is in a subpar FilmCo production or a lavish Evil Angel video, I will get it though I will know to have lowered expectatins for the former. However, some companies I will not rent from. I will not get anything from FilmCo anymore or HomeGrownVideo or ElegantAngel or HusterVideo. Two girls I like include Jennifer Luv and Dana Vespoli and they were both in Hustler's "Latin Girls #7" but I refused to rent it because I knew it was going to be tame 12-18 minute scenes compiling a 80-90 minute tape.

When I talk about porn in a broad sense these are most definitely the most important factors to me. Things such as position sequencing and whether or not anal is involved are all secondary to me, though I think I have asked the "does she do anal in this one?" question quite a bit around here. And some might argue that a strong chemistry between the performers is important and it is, but something like that can be present and still be ruined by incompetent directing, lighting, editing, etc.

Linus, regarding your topic, there have been many other thread/topics started that do address much of what you asked. For a direct resonse, I would pretty much echo picman.

1) Casting. I love superstars.
2) Director. Because I too can put a camera on my shoulder and close up on a dilated asshole. At least I think I can. So I expect something else.
3) Boxcover. I know, it's so stupid, but go figure. At least, if the movie's shite, I'll still be proud to display it on my shelves. Boxcovers are part of the reason why I rarely buy gonzo. New sensations is the exception.

Thanks for the replies so far though, I think I'm pretty much in line with most of you other posters here so far.

"I think part of being a great director is trying to put together performers that seem like a good match."

I remember talking to Renee LaRue a couple of years ago when she started co-directing her series "Renee Larue's X-Rated Auditions" with Bobby Rinaldi and she told me that she really wanted to put together performers who wanted to work together. So, Chennin Blanc is paired with her husband Cheyne Collins. Taylor St. Claire is put together with one of her most frequent co-stars in Steven St. Croix. Renee herself is paired with Lee Stone. Etc. That was just the first installment.

My point in that is that maybe performers understand the need for this as much as or even better than directors.

Back to the question though...I think having a capable director who loves porn and loves hot women is Key to having a great scene!! Someone who understands good camera work . The right amount of focus on the the penetration and the expressions of the female talent. A director who can talk to the talent...keep their mind on the tasks at hand...coz everyone knows new talent ..in their first scene can get squirrely and flake. If the director is a smart guy he can pull a great scene out of girl who is otherwise scared shitless!!!

Now having said that...having a good female perfomer who loves to perform and has genuinely sexual personality is the shit !!!A woman who enjoys hot nasty hard fucking and is camera aware and knows how to play to the camera...I love it!!! Those kinds of performers keep me coming back for more, the more perverted she is willing to get the better the scene is for me. So I guess what I am saying the best porn in my honest little opinion is having a Quality conscious director and a Hot ready willing and able female performer who can work the dick like a fiend !!! Oh yea and the male talent must be able to stay hard and try as hard as he can to work that pussy for all hes worth..if you have those three wonderful things ...that is the best kinda scene for me!!!but this is just my own humble opinion.

your friendly nieghborhood,

We're not trying to watch a "Gone with the Wind" piece of entertainment; rather, something that excites the viewer. IOW, "whackability".

That would be the ideal scene for me. Sometimes if movie looks like it contains such a scene, I'll take a chance on it even if the other scenes appear to be crappy. I've learned that even one such scene done to perfection can be worth more than all the sex on a freakin 6 hour compilation tape from hell. But I'll only chase after such elusive gambles so often.

Most of the time I walk into the store trying to find the best overall movie. And I screen for that by 1) Strongest Cast and then by 2) best looking sex. Then if it's a tie I narrow it down from there by looking for 3) the movie that most closely matches my ideal style of porn described above.
