Tom Member 833 Posts 9/02	Posted - Nov 8 2002 : 5:21PM Well, is Zane done?? Can't find their website. I am trying to buy one of their October releases. One online site has it listed as "Not Available." Adult DVD Empire doesn't list it at all. I know is got released because I happened to see it on the shelf at one of my local stores, but was leaving town and didn't have time to buy it. Now the fucker is gone, somebody else bought it and I can't find it anywhere. Zane, please come back!! [Link]

But it remains to be seen what the final outcome is and whether or not we will once again see Zane at the forefront of porn as they were back in the mid 90's. [Link]
RonK Big Double Everything Fan Poor Turkey running for her life with Christmas Hat 3713 Posts 9/01	Posted - Nov 8 2002 : 8:32PM I hope that Zane will come back better than ever. They were the premier double anal company in the old days with a double anal title every week. They also had some of the cutest double anal babes, like Roxanne Hall, Cortknee, Nikki Brantz, as well as less attractive females like Dalny. I still remember many Zane tiles fondly and play them every now and then. When Matt took over, the company overplayed the hype and went downhill. Ron [Link]
Murray Head Member 263 Posts 9/02	Posted - Nov 8 2002 : 8:47PM Much love to the underappreciated Nikki Brantz.She did it all,NASTY,and still had some type of innocent charm to her.Thank goodness the video stores still stock some of the billion Zane comps. As for Matt,I feel he added NOTHING to the Zane name.And his "Gen X"approach was lame.Even when he stopped bragging about his gen x/rock lifestyle to make straight porn,the results were still mediocre.I almost fell off my chair when during the Rock and Porn bit on MTV they declared"Matt Zane has revolutionized the industry"WHat?Who paid them to say that line of bull?

Asmodeus Lord of Lust az-mo-day-us 6338 Posts 10/01	Posted - Nov 9 2002 : 3:55PM Here's an interesting tidbit I found at Gene Ross Extreme regarding the current state of affairs at Zane: Life Inside MZI Chuck Zane has apparently been punished by his attorney and sent to his room without supper for talking to me. Meanwhile, I've been able to piece together a profile of sorts from various sources about what was allegedly going on in MZI the past 18 months. General manager Karina Kortbein wasn't held in particular high esteem from what I've been told, Kortbein allegedly doing her best to cast doubts on the ability of the then general manager Anthony Alvarez at the time she was hire to do collections. "She was telling people that Alvarez wasn't answering phone calls and avoiding people," a source tells me. "Karina was telling people that Alvarez was fucking off all day. But the minute she gets the job she's doing the same thing- she'd come in at 11 and by 12 she's out to lunch at Baja Fresh." Kortbein during the course of collections collections would talk rudely to the customers, sources claim. Her star, however rose almost instantly. "Next thing you know she's general manager," another source relates. "When she first came in we had some pretty decent weeks, but then she got Anthony shit-canned by saying all the crappy shit that he was doing when she in fact would be doing the same thing. Anthony fucked off a little but didn't do nearly the crap she said he did. Karina herself only put in about 17 hours a week there. She'd pretty much come in, receive the mail then see who she could write checks for, and who she could bounce checks to. Other than that, everyone else was doing her work while she'd yell at people and act all stern. Once she got the general manager's job, she quit collecting money." Business dropped briskly. Kortbein has been described as a woman who affected masculine traits. "She'd walk around like a man all day," says one employee. "She was about power and being taken seriously and shit. It rubbed a lot of people the wrong way." In one instance, Kortbein supposedly forgot to make a payment on Matt Zane's Expedition which got repo'ed. The Expedition was allegedly tagged in Hollywood where Matt Zane was living with the words, "Gringo get out!" Matt Zane has been described by employees as "a scared little kid who's been hiding in his office ever since he got the company." Matt Zane evidently shunned employees, surfed the Internet and concentrated on a music career, distancing himself as much as possible from porn. "That's the other reason the place went down," a source tells me. "He didn't want to have anything to do with it and what movies they did shoot, he had his brother Mark shoot them and have Karina do all his dirty work for him." The consensus is that Kortbein was instrumental in turning Matt Zane against his father. "Within a week or two after Chuck had left for Amsterdam, Karina was talking shit about him," a source tells me. "She'd be talking real nasty shit - nothing you'd expect about somebody who gave you a job. Matt would never take Chuck's phone calls. Matt just cut him out." Click to expand [Link]
