Call me a jaded cynic and maybe I've had it up to here with the way gay porn producers and studios treat us, the buying public, but..............
And we'll see if also has a limited edition price. I'm kind of doubting 5 discs for under $100.

And 5 discs?? C’mon. 6+ scenes probably amounts to 2 discs, maybe 3. What on God’s earth is there to fill up the remaining discs that would maintain my interest? When Peter Jackson filmed LOTR Trilogy it took several YEARS, had a cast of 10-20 principals plus extras in the hundreds, tons of special effects, actors anxious to talk about their craft and careers, hours of deleted film footage, etc., etc., etc. Titan or any gay porn studio takes 1 or 2 days—OK, I’ll give them a week max—a cast that, obviously, isn’t interested in baring their souls (so to speak) in interviews, ZERO special effects, and any good footage is ALREADY IN THE FLICK. (You think they’d waste it if it was any good?) Puuullleeeezzzz don’t tack on a file of still photos from the flick I’ve just seen and call it a “BONUS,” for crap sake.

And therein lies the potential problem for me. Who knows what this will be like? I did not have these problems with FA4 (I liked it a lot) but, frankly, 9 out of 10 gay porn flicks are schlock.........and if one shells out big bucks for a 5-disc DVD and then finds it is not to one's tastes.... Bruce Cam seldom disappoints, granted, but I'm certainly not a big fan of Ben Jakks (in fact I find him rather boring), so........why should I shell out upwards of $100 on a high-odds gamble it will be worth it?
Oh, just gag me! Marc Anthony was previously touted as "the biggest budgeted gay movie of all time " and believe me, I noticed that certain expenses were spared there. And the film itself was hardly Citizen Kane . And I’m betting we’ll find some spots where expenses are spared in FA5, too.

Maybe I’m just outgrowing porn (Gaaadddd!! What a thought!) But more likely, it’s just same old, same old and I feel like a friggin’ dupe for the gay porn studios and I’m tired of getting sucked in and money sucked out of my wallet.

Well, the press release says it will be under $100, so I'm going to take them at their word for that. If I recall, the original pressing of Fallen Angel 4 was a 4 disc set, and that was around $79.99, so I can't imagine one more DVD would push the price over $100. (Plus, if you're a member of their Titan Club, Fallen Angel 5 will be only $49.99)

I'm not really that thrilled about Ben Jakks being in this one either, but am very excited to see what Joey Dino does. (did you see the fucking he gives someone in RX:Open Wide? Holy cow!) Also, Hunt Parker and Spencer Quest are both REALLY the kind of guys I go for, so I'm guessing November is going to be a really good month for me . Plus, like you said, Bruce Cam rarely disappoints.

Try not to get to cynical, billyjizz... watching bad porn (read: Private Man movies) will do that to you!
