Someone posted earlier about your Jessica Darlin interview Rog, thanks for the great news!

I do wonder, though, because I have heard him say before that he was retiring.

BTW, I like the 'new look' to your sites.

If this shit was easy (or cost effective), everybody would be doing it. Given the fact that a large percentage of Extreme Associates are more than 2 hours in length, not only will they need to be able to do high quality replications...but they will need to be able to do high quality dual-layer replication.

Good luck.

Good news about the quality aspect, and I look forward to it.

I'm a big fan of yours, and have a hell of a lot of DVDs with you in them and directed by you. I'm sorry if I hurt your fucking feelings, lol, but the truth hurts, almost as much as watching Extreme's DVDs go from superior to inferior.

But...

It's good to see that you are looking into the DVD quality issue, because the first DVDs released were some of the best all out butt fucking fun. Then came the dip in quality, but it's nice to see that we get a response to the issue, and also it's nice to get a comment for Extreme Associates.

Oh yeah, welcome to the ADT forum, and post frequently. There are a lot of fans of yours here, who would love to get some inside info from EXtreme.

You, we like. A lot, in fact. You´re a cool fella.

But we - or at least me - hate Rob Black´s guts. He´s Eminem without the talent. Since the original Eminem has NO talent at all to begin with, that´s a cool offense.

Why do you think your movies ain´t being distributed in Brazil anymore? It´s a shame, cause I´m aware that Extreme has lots of great stuff. But the backlash from Black´s comments in EXTREME BRAZIL was SO big, that now the brazilian companies don´t want to touch Black´s movies with a ten feet pole.

Maybe Rob Zicari is a good fella. Why not? Paul Francis Little isn´t as bad as people say he is (and I think you KNOW who Paul Francis Little is, right?). But I only know Rob Black so far. And Rob BLACK is a character I absolutely hate, and I would only touch with one of them taser-like cattle prods.

Belive me, I know how those split-personality cases are. I witnessed Paul Francis Little´s transformation into Max Hardcore before my very eyes. And when Paul is Max, he´s REALLY a person who deserves a good punch in the nose. Maybe Rob Zicari is a jolly fluffy guy who likes flowers, classical music, pussycats and the ancient art of origami, but the only parameter I have to judge him is his Black side.

Of course, I can always change my opinions once further evidence is presented. I don´t own the Truth, I only borrow if from Buddah from time to time...

Probably not. Tom reads EVERYTHING on the web, he just hangs back. Too many people out there who just like to stir the stuff ya know? :-)

When you put it like that, Tom, I understand your decision.
Best of luck, whatever you do.

I hope you consider to continue to participate in the forums. If you do, please keep in mind that the vast majority of criticism that you will see here is intended to be constructive (although sometimes it may not appear to be that way).

Take a look at some of posts from Tricia Devereaux, Cal444 and recently Dion. I think that the information that they provide regarding things that are in the works at their respective companies is not only informative, but is also a level of free advertizing and marketing research (there's never a shortage of people telling them what they liked or disliked about previous releases and what they would like to see in future releases).

Regarding your statements (in Rog's interview) regarding replicators...there are a lot of companies using outside replicators who are doing a good job with DVD quality. Based on the prices of the DVD's from most of these companies, I can't believe that they are being overcharged for this service. I don't know how your DVD operation was previously set up before you took it over, but if you have someone working "in-house" who doesn't really care, can you expect the people that he hires to care either?

I don't think that bringing the entire operation in-house is the solution. You made the correct first step in putting someone in charge who is going to take an active interest in DVD production. Now you need to find a company that has a good track record with DVD production to partner up with.

You guys don't make the typical 1 hour 20 minute porn movie. You can't put your DVD's on single-layer DVD's and expect adequate quality. DVD's two hours and longer need to be on dual layer DVD's to be of decent quality. They are apparently not easy to produce.

Now is not the time to start a new learning curve.

BTW...I'm not so good at stopping once I start typing either.

To be fair, I guess I need to watch Extreme Brazil 1 again
so I know what you're talking about. I don't remember it
being THAT offensive. But since it's Saturday and I'm not at the office it's going to take a coupla days. Maybe you could further elaborate SPECIFICALLY what comments caused
such a "backlash".
As far as why Extreme isn't being distributed in Brazil
presently the answer is simple-we had a falling out with
our distributor Video Lips. Maybe someday this will be resolved,either with them or someone else. (Stanley?)
Also,Rob only directs a movie every coupla years or so because he's so busy with wrestling, running the company,etc. so it's kinda unfair to judge Extreme's ENTIRE
body of work based on ONE movie! Seems like the easily offended Brazilians are getting the short end of the
stick by denying themselves some GREAT porn! (Right Big Mike?:-)

Maybe Rob Zicari is a jolly fluffy guy who likes flowers, classical music, pussycats and the ancient art of origami, but the only parameter I have to judge him is his Black side

Flowers? NAH! Classical music? Only if backed by Metallica!
(S&M!) Pussycats? He has FOUR! I doubt he even knows how
to SPELL origami! Maybe oregano!:-)

I don't know how your DVD operation was previously set up before you took it over, but if you have someone working "in-house" who doesn't really care, can you expect the people that he hires to care either?

Read what I wrote Bill-The person in charge of DVD QC isn't
working for us anymore! The person who is NOW in charge
cares deeply!

I don't think that bringing the entire operation in-house is the solution. You made the correct first step in putting someone in charge who is going to take an active interest in DVD production. Now you need to find a company that has a good track record with DVD production to partner up with.

I hear ya Bill,but we ARE making the investment in replicating equipment and people EXTREMEly qualified to
operate it.
I think taking out the middle man and being
able to oversee every aspect of the production in-house is a GOOD idea,but what do I know?
We've managed to stay in business
for almost 5 years. Not every decision has been perfect,
but at least WE TRY!

I have all ten Cumback Pussies you did for Elegant, I have all the Whack Attacks on DVD, except for the newest one. I have PotG 1 and 3, though 3 was definitely a dip in quality. And posibly my favorite, LORD of ASSES 1, five of the six scenes have been enjoyed by me over and over and over and over and... sometimes I've enjoyed them multiple times a night, lol.

I think that you are one of the best people to shot no nonsense straight to the fucking, porn, with some great tease intros.

so keep UP the good work, whether in front or behind the camera.

You are second on my list, behind Joey Silvera, in total amount of DVDs that I own.

(I guess all your guts look pretty much the same, with lungs, intestines, liver and stuff, but Black´s guts are hated and yours are not.)

It´s not as if we don´t like Extreme movies. They´re not shabby at all. But just like in the Japanese market, where you have to fog out all the pussies, all you need is to fog out Black´s kisser to make ´em acceptable...

Somehow, it was changed to "Stanley Miranda is surely the best brazilian director, miles ahead of the others in the biz".

Quite a difference, eh?

The only thing he doesn´t have is exactly a thing money can´t buy: talent.

Pay close attention to what Rob Blacks says. That a brazilian girl could feed her entire family with 200 dollars for a month. That he should use condoms cause he doesn´t know where those skanky brazilian girls have been. Not to mention renaming some of the most famous brazilian pornstars with unflattening names. C´mon, OLIVE OYNK? SHARON STONED? How would YOU feel it we re-named you "Buck Scardick" in the brazilian release of Lord of the Asses?

First of all, I guess you've never met anyone from New
York with a "ball-busting" personality. The comments were
INTENDED to be taken tongue-in-cheek, HUMOROUSLY, not SERIOUSLY. If the ENTIRE Brazilian population was DEEPLY
offended we do most humbly apologize (Actually, Rob just
said PLANET SEX GO FUCK YOURSELF!) LOL Humor,get it?
The HIV testing in Brazil is not so readily available as it is in the U.S so OF COURSE we're gonna protect ourselves,right? And to be perfectly honest these "famous
brazilian pornstars" are not so famous in the U.S. I didn't
feel like digging up the model releases at the time I put
the box together(cuz I was stoned) and I came up with those
names. I thought it was funny (cuz I was stoned) It was never my intention to insult anyone,and if they were,sorry,
but Rob is not to blame on that one, I am. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!!!!!! (BTW Buck Scardick is a cool fuckin' name!)

Pfeh. Stanley, Stanley, Stanley, it´s ALWAYS that fucking fat hack. I may be just jealous cause he´s a talentless muddha who just got lucky, but at least I ADMIT that.
And I never put my name on movies directed by other people...
Nor posed for pics holding an AVN to make people think I actually won the thing...
Neither put my picture side by side with Stagliano´s, John Leslie and Gregory Dark on an institutional ad with the header "The greatest geniuses of porn now gathered at Elegant Angel Brazil"...
Never ordered the guys who write for that glossy, badly written press release they dare to call a "magazine", to put my name in every fucking page calling me "genius", "master" and stuff...
And I never PAID a clueless reporter to write an ass-kissing review for the brazilian PLAYBOY, and never FAKED declarations for a reporter calling him "The best brazilian director".
Yep. THAT´S the bloodsucking creep who takes care of Stagliano´s business in Brazil, and somehow you guys still like him! Geez...

I get the feeling you're not too fond of Mr. Miranda...

Oh. Metallica. The most odious band of the world! I had the chance to punch Kirk Hammett square in the face. I think I´m going to write that on my gravestone. "R.I.P. - the guy who Made Kirk Hammett play live with swollen lips". That would be fun!

Well, then instead of Carrot Top, I´ll give you multiple choices of unfunnyness:

3) Melanie Hutsell
4) George Bush Jr.

I was suggesting that now that someone who does care (you) is in charge of DVD at Extreme, you might want to give outside replicators another chance. I think that you will get better results than your ex-employee did.

As far as how to use quotes, when you post, take a look at the "Markup Text" link right below the Message box. Click on it. It will show you how to quote, use bold, italics, etc...

Essentially you put the word "quote", surrounded by brackets "[ & ]" before what you are going to quote (I can't write it in the post correctly so you can see it because if I write it correctly, it will put whatever I write next as a quote). At the end of the quote put "/quote" also surrounded with brackets (don't use the quote marks).

All that helvetica, blocksize, etc is what you will see when you try to reply with quote to a post that has already replied with quote. If you want to keep the initial quote within the quote, just replace all of the gobbleygook with "quote" and "/quote"

But if you wanna meet someone from Rio de Janeiro with a "ball-busting" personality... please to meet you, hope you guess my name!

Well, you have fucked almost every highly fuckable pornstar who ever walked this planet (including Ron Jeremy, if we believe the rumours), you sung the Cat Alley theme song, and you even had an italian impersonator on a Cicciolina movie (I kid you not!), so it was the chance for us, the mere mortal men, to feel vindicated about your damn luck!

Comment: re: Kitten. If you use her again you've got to have more of her using that incredible long tongue. I just got Blowbang 6 & figured working with a lot of guys she'd put it to good use, but I was disappointed.

Question: I was always curious about how the industry handled the Traci Lords situation. Did the industry get word out to all stores to pull her tapes & return them-or to destroy them? Or were they sent back to the studios & they destroyed them? I know it was lightning fast-the stores I go to had pulled her stuff within 24 hours. Of course I knew why they were gone, but everyone was so afraid to even talk about it.

Thanks, menace

(Forgot to mention-the right channel audio track on Blowbang 6 was really goofed up. Snaps, crackles, pops. Real annoying when the girls are talking nasty.)
