Okay, so this is a bit of bragging, but here it goes.

Violet Blue, author of "The Ultimate Guide to Adult Movies" named "Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story" to her list of couples movies this month. Naturally I'm quite pleased and just wanted to crow about it a little.

Congrats, Tony!

I may end up sending you $20 one of these days, after all.

In the name of market research, why haven't you picked up a copy of the DVD? The film has recieved about all the positive accolades one could hope for short of an AVN award, and (I think) the website gives a pretty good idea of what's on the disc. In spite of this, I still have your disc and you still have my money. ;-)

We're in preproduction on a couple more scenes and it would be very helpful to me to know why you haven't quite been able to bring yourself to part with $25 dollars in exchange for some quality smut.

If I sound like I'm being flip, I'm not. I'd really like to know. :-)

What a twisted puppy you are Tony. Instead of copying what every other porn company is doing, you actually thought out of the box and filmed a complete sex session from beginning to end with an actual couple (1 male + 1 female), including foreplay and buildup. Who would have thought of such a thing? I hope this fetish catches on.

When you say Violet Blue, I think of the beautiful 26 year old porn actress that does anal and has starred in over 100 movies. This Violet Blue is different. Which came first?

Violet Blue the porn star came second. The original Violet Blue has been writing for quite a while IIRC.

Some websites list MARIE AND JACK to be only 27 minutes long! At $25 that would be a pricey DVD.

Before I order, can we get some confirmation?

Here it is, straight from the director/editor's mouth:

The festival winning cut of the film (on both the VHS and the DVD) is 28 minutes long.

The DVD also includes a synchonous, real-time, choose your own camera angle presentation of the love-scene with no interuptions. Minor edits have been made so that either camera track can be enjoyed on its own. There are two version of this; one that presents the alternate camera angle in a PIP window and one that does not. Depending on how you want to measure, the DVD extras give you 16, 32, or 64 more minutes of footage. By the most conservative measure the DVD has 44 minutes total footage.

For what it's worth, no one has ever complained they didn't get their money's worth.

Tony,

Thanks for the reply. No offense, but that still sounds pricey to me.

Any chance you can forward a copy to Saki or Dumblonde to do a review for this site before we buy?

Review copies have been sent to "the powers that be" and may very well be being reviewed at this very moment. In the mean time, I would invite you to visit

http://www.comstockfilms.com/reviews.html

That page will give you excerpts from reviewers, as well as links to the complete reviews on their own sites.

Blake_fan, I now have a copy on the way. Should be arriving mid-week. Look for a detailed review, with screenshots, coming soon.

One other thing. Marie and Jack is about as "un-Blake" as a movie could possibly be. There is no lesbian sex (fake or otherwise), no fake boobs, no slow motion, no music, no exotic locations, no eurostyle or rococo furnishings, no silk, no satin, no leather and no lace.

Don't get me wrong. I think Blake films are beautiful, and sometime very hot. It's just not what I'm into or what I do. :-)

Tony,

Oh, I know. No problem. I have read your website, and I think I have a good idea what the film is like.

What makes your film so interesting to me is your background as a documentary filmmaker. I hope that implies how you came at this work.

I must say my curiousity is piqued!

I just finished my first viewing of this DVD (the festival cut plus the picture-in-picture version) five minutes ago. I had goosebumps as I was watching and a tear in my eye by the end. I kid you not. Marie and Jack is THAT GOOD.

I can't see giving this any less than five stars. Don't be put off by the short run time. This movie packs more warmth and intensity into a half hour than ten other good pornos put together.

A full review will be coming in a few weeks. Obviously, God doesn't want me to quit reviewing, or She wouldn't have tossed me a treat like this.

You, sir, are nothing if not persistent!

So now that we've corresponded several times and bantered on a few threads, I can say this: in general I like and respect what I know about you, your principles as a person, a husband and a filmmaker, what you don't like about the adult industry, and what you've tried to do with Marie and Jack (except for your rather aggressive marketing style ).

What YogaGrrl just said is also compelling. I don't believe she hands out accolades like that as a general rule. So I'll give you a chance, Squeaky Wheel.

Consider the order placed, it just has to wait until payday next week; I just dropped nearly $1000 on car repairs.

(Bearing that in mind, I am grateful for the link you mailed me last week, reinforcing my belief that I'm right about you both as a good guy AND an aggressive marketer! Got any bridges or swampland?)
