Are you witnessing the death of porn? I'm witnessing the death of good porn journalism.

Interesting. Which titles do you think are overrated?

The ones that always come up in these conversations: From the 70' & 80's (i.e.) Deep throat, Behind the Green Door, Devil in Miss Jones, Taboo etc. I'll give credit where it's due and these films did open porn up to a more main stream audience. But compared to what we see in today's x-rated material the "classics" are kind of boring. Again it's just my own personal preference. I believe that the 90's were much better as far as pushing the limits of sexual acts in adult video. Rex Borsky did some all girl anal fetish movies for Rosebud that I loved. Also Bruce Seven comes to mind with his Buttslammers series. Those guys filmed some insane stuff and the girls in those films were off the charts nasty. The a/v quality was still shitty though compared to now.

I suppose "pushing the limits" means different things to different people. To me, DIMJ pushes the limits in ways current porn doesn't dare to. Green Door did in its day, but I can see why you would think that sucks. Deep Throat is terrible. It's a shame DT and stuff like Debbie Does Dallas are so iconic when there are so many truly wonderful porn flicks from that time. It sounds like you may not have explored the 80s very much. The early 80s are my absolute favourite era for porn. What a unique, fabulous time.
But, if you watch porn to see 45min long gonzo scenes, I can see why you would watch these older movies and think they're lame. We talk about "porn" as if it's one genre. It's really not. I love and appreciate all of it, though.

Yeah I'll admit that most of the time I fast forward past no nudity and no sex dialogue in xxx films. I figure if I want to get into something deep and artistic then I'll watch some Spielberg or Kubrick.

^ Ha. Understood. Personally, I wish Kubrick had some hardcore in it.

That's a take I would not have thought of and I see what you mean - inadvertanly come full circle.
Higher res? More angles? Yes. No story.
New Sensations was doing this throughout the 2000's - so it has been going on for some time (and I mostly like their stuff).
One thing the feature does best is lead into and foreshadow the sex scene.
A case in point, the finale scene from Beverly Hills Exposed:

Bunny Bleu is just home from college and meets Mr. Stinson (Billy Dee) for the first time. You just know they're gonna bang.
Bunny is exquisitely slutty in this scene and the dialogue before is like foreplay. A little teaser. That's fun.
Essentially, it makes a 10 minute scene into a 15 minute scene...and better, in general.

The state of porn 2016 is it is dead it was not dead in the 70's, 80's. 90's and early 2000's...a handful of dummies killed a invincible industry.

Well, I guess ADT should shutter its doors then.
If it is dead there is nothing left to talk about.

Watched the first half over dinner last night, might get to the second half tonight. It definitely piqued my interest in those classic films.
Back on point, it is natural to view porn's past with rose colored glasses. The tendency is to remember your favorite scenes, and keep hoping for more just like them. Times are always changing though, and each scene is the product of it's era and the people that came together to make it. You might wait and wonder when another scene, feature film, or set of photos just like that old favorite will come out. But don't look away too long, or you will miss something else just as good.
