It was two years ago today that John passed. I remember getting that terrible phone call from Joey Silvera like it was yesterday.
The industry had a memorial for John and I had put together a video showcasing his artwork, his music and his acting abilities. I finally put that memorial video up on Youtube for those that were fans of John to all see.

I remember jerking off to a movie starring John Leslie while staying at the Universal Sheraton in 1987. My dad and I had just been kicked out of the house by my stepmom. My dad got me my own room and told me I could order as much room service and SpectraVision as I wanted. I remember he was fucking Tracey Adams, but I could be wrong, as I frequently am.

My first memory of the late John Leslie was his threeway scene with Don Fernando and Desiree Cousteau back in the 70s. It was HAWT. Is Don Fernando still active as Asianman? Desiree Cousteau was one of my absolute favorites back in the day. Hope that she is alive and well and looking hot. Vanessa Del Rio still looks hot, so maybe Desi does too.

Elgring, there is a Don Fernando active today in porn but I don't know if he is the same person as the performer you watched.
RIP John Leslie. May you rest in peace and future generations see your work.

Kevin, thank you for the remembrance of John. It's still hard to believe he's gone but his influence on the adult world will never be forgotten.

Leslie was my fav director; I used to could not wait for my fav performer to do a scene directed by Leslie, because I knew it was going to be an instant classic and probably the hottest scene of the performer's career. what a brilliant eye, Leslie had; thanks for rememebering.

MHarris Asianman Don Fernando is the same guy who tag-teamed Desiree Cousteau with the late John Leslie. Does he ever post here? Maybe he can post something about Desi.

Great actor and performer. Mediocre director at best.

Nice tribute video Kevin and hope others do not forget that you also paid respect to John in your movie Crack Fuckers
From your Kevin Moore goes to Evil Angel thread this is what i said on the matter.
Kevin has another new movie coming out called Crack Fuckers and the inspiration for the title/movie comes from John Leslie (RIP),his photo is shown at the start of the trailer with the caption "Inspired by John Leslie" this is followed by the caption "The Original Crack Fucker" which is a nice touch from Kevin.
I also think this might get more exposure if it was moved to Star Crossed section of the forums.

I'm pretty sure one of John's movies was among the first porn flicks I ever rented. I wasn't a huge fan but I was a regular consumer of his stuff. I was sorry to hear about it.

John Leslie (R.I.P.) My All Time Porn Idol I find it ironic he died on my brothers birthday December 5.
I could put together a list of my Top 50 X-Rated Films/Videos and John Leslie would be in a majority of them.

I thought talk dirty to me part two was a great movie packed with sex and comedy. John Leslie was hilarious. Anyone know what happened to Bridget Monet or are there any recent pictures of her out there?

Disappeared two years ago. At least he didn't get angry and edit his posts like that one nutty chick did recently.
I thought she was super hot, but what a weirdo.
As for Leslie the stuff he was doing for a decade and a half for Elegant Angel was some of the best American Porn available. The camera work was usually great, and he shot in a very almost artistic way with his voyeur perspective ever present hence one of his series titles.
And if you are old enough to have been watching this stuff for over 30 years Leslie was one of those iconic male performers.
He was fucking this black chick who's name escapes in a mid 80's flick (I can look it up) and I was watching it in a room with about a half dozen other people, and everybody was stone silent. We were all about 19, and you could cut the tension in that room with knife.
From a quick google search Bridget Monet became a doctor. I did not dig much beyond that. I though she looked great, and she was a fave, but was a bore to watch.
I loved Brunettes in porn then, and in real life. Always liked women with darker hair, and more exotic looks.

Odd that I didn't comment on the OP by Kevin as I remember this video and being impressed by John's paintings. I'd have to disagree with Roscoe about him as a director, he was probably the last great feature director in porn with movies like Curse of the Catwoman, Chameleons and Dogwalker. This thread doesn't really seem like the place to debate that though.
It's great that John was featured so much in the doc AFTER PORN ENDS, released in 2012. He comes across as intelligent, happy, secure and a warm person. Very much a rebuttal to the cliches of porn.
Anyone who is a fan should seek that out (believe it is still available on Netflix). There's also a good two part interview from 2002 available on Youtube.
The Rialto Report podcast on Constance Money has a lot about John as well because they lived together for a long time.

Co-sign on AFTER PORN ENDS, which also features Richard Pacheco, Seka, and others from that era. I think it's Seka who, in her Rialto Report, says she got the impression John didn't like women very much. I never got that impression, but who knows. Regardless, I love him as a performer and as a director.
