Well, as the end of 2013 draws near, it's time to reflect. What did you like? What didn't you like? What shocked you? What surprised you? No limits (just keep the forum etiquette in mind). As for me:
Positives: Annika Albrite's first anal, Madison Ivy joining Brazzers
Negatives: the HIV scare, no Superstar September from EA

Even though I only pay attention to a relatively small number of porn studios, series and stars, I'll give this a go anyways.
POSITIVES
-The increasing popularity of two of my favorite stars-Riley Reid & AJ Applegate.
-My favorite director, Mason, abandoning the sinking ship that is Elegant Angel and creating HardX. (This is assuming that she's going to produce more movies, more frequently, now than she did under EA.) What's even better is the news that she's got a facial movie in the works, one that should be just as good as her fantastic Massive Facials series.
-Massive Facials 6, my favorite DVD purchase of the year and probably the best of the 6 Massive Facials movies.
SURPRISE
-Bonnie Rotten; I've never been crazy about tat-covered chicks and 99% of the time I prefer a pornstar before she had a boob job, but she became the exception for me this year. Obviously, I loved her scene in MF6, but she also did some awesome stuff for Evil Angel, like Sloppy Head 5, Anal Required and especially Whores Ink. And I have to say, I definitely prefer her with the big fake tits she's got now.
NEGATIVES
-The HIV scare and subsequent porn moratorium. Not only did it scare the crap out of everyone, but the resulting moratorium has really pushed back production dates and movie releases.
-The end of the Massive Facials series; I assume with Mason's departure from EA, that there won't be anymore movies in this series. Maybe EA will allow a new director to continue it, but I doubt it with how fucked up that company seems to be right now (7 months since the release of MF6 and there's absolutely no indication that they're going to produce MF7).
-The growing popularity of these stupid and unflattering bikinis in porn:

I'd rate this year as a D- if I'm being generous.
Most of the known girls have retired and most of the new girls today have really bad skin.
3 years ago, couldn't remember so many top girls suffering from acne.

I honestly just hope it's a better year for firsts. First anals. First DPs. First gangbangs. First everything! I'm sure the reason we had so little this year was a direct result of the HIV scare. I really hope the companies take the proper precautions to make sure their performers are protected.

It's been a lower year than the last two, that is for sure. The popularity and overexposure of some stars baffles me and the under-use of some more established stars is just as upsetting. I saw a few good scenes from Dani Daniels, Riley Reid, Maddy O'Reilly, and Lily Carter (who has unfortunately been absent most of the year).
The HIV scare halted production on some stuff, a huge negative.
I, the author of the "Who to Watch in 2013" thread, took a big step back. Hardly any newbies turned my head and the more established starlets were much more sparse than I'd have preferred.
So a low grade, C, so far. Some more movies are set to drop.

Siri, kennedy Leigh, Katie St. Ives and later on in the year after I discovered her scenes, Mazzaratie Monica were the only women that held my interest in the last 365 days. Now with Siri joining Katie and Monica in doing IR there will be even less scenes for me to enjoy. Before anyone complains about that comment, I have no problem with her doing it. I just don't watch it because it doesn't turn me on. When I watch porn I like to place myself in the scene (I have a very vivid imagination, what can I say?) and it's hard to slip into that mindframe when the male talent is a different race.
Anyway, at the beginning of the year I was subscribing to Brazzers, naughty America and Reality Kings. RK is the only one left, I dropped the other two for constantly shooting with inferior male talent (with the exception of Johnny Sins) and watching the women clearly bored while being fucked.
Now I pick up the odd dvd by Quasar or buy scenes cheap on VOD.
So yea, pornwise for me it's been a bad year.

Positives: First full year in porn for Casey Calvert and Mia Malkova has been impressive. Better content than I expected from Ash Hollywood and Allie Haze was also good news. Teal Conrad and Whitney Westgate haven't departed scene and I still have high hopes for both women. Really good year in lesbian porn with several companies putting out exciting movies. The return of Jay Sin is a plus.
Negatives: The shake-up at Elegant Angel left us feeling empty in September. Malena Morgan's recent departure from RK and possibly the business is a downer. STD hiatus dominated the late summer in porn.

That's a glass-half-empty attitude! I wouldn't look at it as less porn for you to enjoy. It's just more porn in general, for all people to enjoy. I'm still going to keep shooting at the same pace all the other types of scenes I've been doing the past nearly-2-years I've been in the industry.

I didn't mean for it to come across negatively on your part, Siri. You're still my favorite and I will continue to enjoy your scenes that are not IR. I'm happy for you that you're doing it because it will hopefully bring more work your way and keep you involved in the business. Plus you are satisfying all the fans who have been wanting you to do IR, I'm sure I'm in the minority about wanting to see it.
But that's ok, it still doesn't change my opinion of how awesome and sexy you are.

^^^now imagine being a black porn fan and having to wait years for hot chicks to shoot scenes with men that u most "relate" to and your in my shoes....i dont c how anyone could be anything but happy when they get at least 80% of their favorites stars in scenes with white dudes even if they shoot ir
as for my positives and negatives this year:
positives: the riley reid reign, the beginning of the maddy o'reilly reign, aj applegate, siri (even tho it wont release til 2014), lex being with evil angel, and mime freak taking over LT role at elegant angel
negatives: HIV scares (especially with it being cross over dudes shutting it down), the end of the mandingo massacre series, jynx maze and christy mack being in movies i woulda purchased if not for them, no more superstar september (or at least not this year)
and thats about it....overall its been a decent year

I'm trying to stay optimistic for 2014. I'm hoping the porn industry gurus realize how serious the HIV issue still is and take the proper precautions to ensure a safer environment for the performers. I mean, think of how many quit or took a hiatus toward the last half of the year.
My suggestion to EA for 2014? Two "Superstar" extravaganzas. In order to make up for the lack of a Superstar September this year, they should give us a Superstar Spring AND a Superstar September in 2014. Release a volume of the Gangbanged series for each "Superstar" and give us movies for the following women: Riley Reid, Dani Daniels, Maddy O'Reilly, Annika Albrite, AJ Applegate, Siri, and, if they can convince her to come back for one insane guest appearance, Gracie Glam. Throw in a few other features and now we're talking!
2014 also needs to put and emphasis on "firsts". I don't care whether it's IR, anal, DP, gangbangs, orgies, bukkakes, G/G, B/B/G, DAP, DPP, etc. 2013 was abysmal when it came to firsts. Granted, we did get some decent ones but not enough to live up to 2012, 2011, and 2010.
Also, I'm looking forward to Lexi Belle's announcement in January. My prediction is that she is going to start directing or launch her own production company. And, I really hope if she has that kind of control, she'll convince herself to start performing again. Lexi Belle: the director, would be great, but Lexi Belle: first DP, would be even better!

Well, since the last post in this thread we had another porn moratorium. Hopefully, we won't have to read the term "porn moratorium" again anytime soon.
In these last two months of 2013, Maddy O'Reilly's been doin' a bunch of stuff, most notably her feature movie, Maddy, comin' out next month. She's definetly one of my favorites right now. Another new favorite of mine is Veruca James, I'm really lookin' forward to a lot of new stuff from her in 2014.

I expect HIV will become less significant, as antibiotic-immune bacteria kill in days instead of years. 2014 could have longer moratoriums, until finally the whole industry is condoms and solos.

Rating out of 10.
Mine would be 4.
No offense but the girls are getting....lets just say they're not as hot as the ones before.
All the shutdowns.
So many retired.

negatives: Nikki Sexx, Jenna Presley, Jewels Jade,
Katsuni, Raylene, Alia Janine, Lexi Belle retiring (or not doing b/g anymore).
Some starlets going off the radar for large parts of the year
(Loni Evans, Misty Stone, Blake Rose, Andy San Dimas etc.).
Slowing down from some of my faves or going through
the motions in some cringeworthy scenes.
Many starlets being overexposed, it feels
like the same line-ups every 2 movies.
Internal problems at some of the studios (DP, ElegantA).
Agents not looking for the best interest of their clients.
HIV moratoriums and having to deal with uncontrolled
and unsupervised talent escorting.

positives: A lot of newbie hotties arrived -
like Dakota Skye, Alina Li, Skylar Green, Callie Calypso,
Chase Ryder, Chloe Amour, Ariana Marie, Heather Night,
Tysen Rich, Amanda Tate, Taylor Whyte, Brooke Wylde,
Marina Angel, Alexa Aimes and probably many others. I'm pleasantly
surprised at their quality.
Few stars returned or had notable stints during the year -
like Holly Halston, Devon, Emma Starr, Vanilla Deville...
The "good" cross-overs of A. Augustine, D. Dixon,
A. Love, Ch Deville, S. Brielle. Tremendously gifted
stars groomed at Twistys.
Profesionalising of Pornfidelity was very welcome.
Moratorium caused some companies (RK and ZZ notably)
to show what was in their vaults. Before the Summer
it was ridiculous how you could wait for certain scenes
from 9 months to 2 years, hopefully not anymore.
Everything said I give this year a 5/10. A lot of good trends arose.

For me the revelation of the year was Kira Queen ( Russian ) doing Dp and Airtight . To be seen at Dpfanatics and Woodmancastings .
Big-titted natural girls rule !
Hope to see more of her ...
Negative : Too much S/M and violent stuff in the gangbang-genre ...

this year was pretty crappy, hardly any good DP films anymore, and the demise of the gangbanged series made this year suck, positives are Kennedy Leigh and thats about it, maybe 2014 will be a better year

Positives: lots of hot new chicks. Pierre Woodman casting series still going strong. Anna Morna's single anal scene.
Negatives: lots of hot new chicks doing vanilla sex scenes. Hypes for boring one dimensional performers.
Let's hope for a more hardcore 2014.
