I mean, i have just seen #200 and #201, and they were total waste of time. A friend of mine actually works at the store i have rented them from, and he said that in two years the store rented 2 and sold one copy (not including mine), and the owner have stopped ordering more volumes of any E.P. releases. After reading reviews for his movies on both ADT and RAME, i have found only one (of total over 100) that gave more than 2 stars (or which ever is the grading choice), and i think Hustler just butcherred one of his late '90s videos (i think it was Hustler), and no other magazine that i read is reviewing them. And they are indeed that bad; chicks are on the scale 1 to 10 about 3, he doesn't even look like he is enjoying, so i don't see why is he continuing making any more instalments. And then again, maybe i'm wrong.

After just watching several films from his series spanning 35 to 221, not that he was that good to begin with, but come the 220s he just gets horrid, so I must say, yes he needs to retire.

I will not rent or buy any movie that has him as a performer. If he really wants to make money he should only direct and give up the fucking, or at least keep the fucking off camera.

The question isn't do you think he should retire, but if you had his meager ability and subpar looks/personality, yet had figured out a way to have sex with better looking women than you'd normally rate and get paid for the priviliage, would *you* retire.

Well, i don't think he'll lack of pussy if he quit performing and start directing. Look at Woodman and Castings series. He gets enough pussy (in a neighbourhood of 2500,) so what i'm saying if "i can get you to porn if you perform with me" line doesn't work, he should try: "i can get you to porn if i can fuck you, and we can call it 'casting'".

Well it seems he's got all those other lines of his to keep him going should he stop performing.But there is no exscuse for the poor quality of his vids.Does he really make alot of money?You would think he could afford something like,SOUND PROOFING for that room he always uses.I remember one scene that was ruined because someone next door was mowing their lawn.How many other videos do you see that have disclaimers as often as Ed does?"Sorry about the audio,sorry about the video quality,sorry about the noise.."
If he makes a decent living,why the hell,I ask again,can't he purchase better equipment?He shoots in the same damn room,therefore what he has is a friggin'STUDIO!He should be able to have proper lighting and quality cameras setup already!This series would be alot better if he had the quality of Joey Silvera for example.I don't care for the condoms either,I mean condoms for oral?Ed is just concentrating on his own satisfaction,the fact that with this schtick(I will give him credit,maybe it wasn't in the beginning,but it is now)he can still bang college girls in the ass for years to come.

Well, that's a good point. And when you take all that in consideration; quality of sound, quality of videos them selves, and i don't mean technical aspect, question is why is New Machine or who ever is his distributer now keeping him on a catalog, amd alowing him to add more lines. These companies must have some kind of interes not to end his videos. I have just seen Animal Trainer 10, Glutus To The Maximus, True Anal Stories 16 an Service Animals 11, and the quality is great; light, sound, and Joey, Rocco and Seymore at least don't mumble. I know, talking is not the reason why i should watch, but when is so obvious, it gets irritating.

I vote immediate retirement.

And send him to a rabbinical college with the express purpose of counseling young high school girls to refrain from sex until they are 18, when they can then legally submit to the anal pounding of a fat, ugly porn producer.

Yes, he should. Anyway, why should he have sex with the up-and-coming talent? Just because it's his production and he has the camera?
It just shows he cares nothing for making the scene work when he opts to put his ageing, sagging torso in front of the camera instead of a virile young guy.
How old is he anyway? 50? At least.
His Cockless series was quite good, in parts, but he seemed never from the action, with his hand on his cock.
And that spoilt it.

Why should he either retire or change? Plenty of people still buy and rent his movies, and although a ton of people complain about him, I seriously doubt they'd check out more than one or two of his movies if he spent the money to upgrade the audio and video. For retiring, heck no! His Cockless series showed that he can have a lot of talent behind the camera, and I'd love to see more of them released.

The whole DD line is a brilliant concept, and despite the obvious problems with the videos -- esp. in the recent 50-60 or so, when Ed seems to have given up even trying -- there are some remarkably hot girls that pass before his lens. Were he to upgrade the productions, I believe he would rent and sell more to people like me ... who basically defer to Randy West when they want to indulge in some old-school pro-am scenery. I'm not wild about Randy either, but at least he still appears capable of delivering his girls a good thrusting ... AND ... he frequently invites other male talent along for the party. Ed is not only pathetic but greedy, though I do sometimes see some gal's boyfriend in the scene. (Amazing any dude could keep wood with Ed in the room!). But, yeah, I freaking HATE the guy ... he's exhhausted even the "sleaze" appeal of his cheesy sets and his listless performances and his inane banter. Send this clown back to the Borscht Belt! Tomorrow!

However, I don't think he has to retire the Debutante series or its spinoffs. He just has to disappear behind the camera and keep his freaking trap shut. Of course, the likelihood of that ever happening is zilch.

I am simply amazed that girls will take money to fuck him. Even TT Boy has some iota of animal ... well, not "charm" but a dark masculine thug energy that might be appealing to someone. Ed has nothing. Except his cheap, Salvation Army set, his bad lighting, his beer gut and his lame sense of humor. At least, any aspiring starlet who receives the "baptism" of Ed's piddle of jizz, spilling forth from his spent condom onto their nubile baby-fat bellies, can know that it won't like "get any worse than this." After Ed, porn must seem like a holiday in the sun.

I have only seen Ed a few times, but if I were in his shoes, would I give up fucking these girls?

Gee, let me think, um, NO!

So what if he makes it for himself, he could be a frugal man, so what ever he spends on the girls, or the production, could be a drop in the bucket to him.

Yes, it does annoy me that he gets so many new, fresh girls to fuck, but like I said, I wouldn't give up that job if I were in his shoes.

More power to him.

Let the guy have fun. There´s SO much porn in the world, that you won´t even miss his movies. Me, I hardly knew that Ed was still active until you pointed that out.

Methinks "socks" is more accurate.

Well, BIGmike, I'm sure my petty complaints will scarcely cause Ed to turn tail and abandon that steady supply of high-quality newbie cooch. Speaking purely as a consumer, and someone who has rented/viewed at least 50 or 60 of the Dirty Deb tapes or their spinoffs, I just wish he had more respect for his audience . But it's clear to me that he doesn't give a shit for the fans who support him, or else he would give them better product. Then again, caveat emptor, it's a free world. But I, for one, no longer buy or rent his tapes. "Up and Cummers" is about 100 times better, all around. Ed is only good for what I call the "cringe factor."

I think you're being pretty harsh on Volume 200. What about Niki Talon? She is quite possibly one of the hottest women I have ever seen in porn. And there is a scene where Ed isn't involved...a threeway between Niki, Jodie Moore and her husband...this is one of the best MDD titles IMO.

I was talking in general. Besides 200 and 201, i've seen around 15 and few BDD and Global Warming, and i was disapointed with the quality itself. He's been running this series for well over 10 years, and still gives shitty product. Look at others, Rocco's videos haven't been around that long, and the quality was/is great from start. Joey Silvera the same, early volumes of Up & Cummers are uncomparable... I mean i can go on and on, but i just took those two volumes since they were the last ones i saw. Seems like for many, gonzo is an excuse for the lack of talent. You would think he would at least copy from someone else to bring more quality, but instead the whole thing goes downhill.

Well, see, if Ed just parked his fat ass BEHIND the camera, and let his people cum, all would be golden in "Dirrty Deb" land (and there's a hint: get some Christina Aguilera lookalikes). The girl-girl-(boy) aspects of his ouevre is the one place where Ed gets some decent mileage. Knowing this, I might be inclined to check out Vol. 200. But this has gotta be the exception.
