Wow...

I thought they'd run out of names to call their compilations...

They already have:

Deep Inside
Young
Rearview
Ultimate
Girls Only
Hollywood Orgies
3 Into
Up Close & Personal
Eye Spy

Now they will becoming out with the "Uncensored" series starting with Cassidey Uncensored, and Devon Uncensored.

They also have "When Vivid Girls Go Oral", and "And The Winner Is...Janine"

Not sure if these 2 will be compilation series but the latter looks like it...

"And The Winner Is...Vivid!"............not

Vivid is already the king of VHS compilations. I'm sure everyone at one point or another regrettably owned one of those 4-hour (recorded in EP mode) VHS compilation. So it's not surprising they planned as well to flood the DVD realm with compilations.

I have also noticed that Vivid includes the same scenes in different compilations. At first I enjoyed the compilations, as it was a good way to get several good scenes involving some of my favorite stars. After buying a few, I noticed some real problems with them.

After I got my second Selena Steele compilation DVD, I found that it had three scenes in common with the first one I bought. Needless to say, this was somewhat disappointing.

In addition, I have complaints about the way the Vivid DVD's play. On several of them, you cannot skip from scene to scene without going back through the main menu. Also, some of the chapter skips jump to the middle of the next scene. Overall, the quality of the operation of the disks is very poor.

While I would recomend one compilation if you REALLY enjoy a particular performer, I would not recomend buying more than one of that performer, and I would expect it to have several technical gliches. It's sad, because they do have some very hot women available on their complilations (Selena Steele and Raylene are my two favorites).

Have a great week!! ~Bob

Yeah, I would definitely have to agree that their comp's are way too redundant. To be honest, I personally think Vivid has taken quite a nosedive in the porn biz. Their features aren't that great, they drown out their talent with too many comp's, and everyone complains about the technical aspects of their DVD's. They have beautiful women working for them, but even at that, I can never seem to tell who is still working for them and who isn't. One reason for that I think is that they don't seem to put out many features, as compared to how many compilations they put out. I'm pretty sure Raylene, Janine and Jenteal retired, but not 100%.
Even when you look around ADT, no one ever seems to talk about the Vivid girls.
What do others think about these things?

Vivid is the master of marketing...

for instance, i was at a party once and this guy found out i work with porn - the first thing he said after that was "so you guys have Vivid stuff?"...

i enjoy their features most of the time - i like Paul Thomas' work a lot actually - but their compilations turn me right off the company...

they have a good lineup of women but for the hardcore porn fan Vivid isn't interesting at all...

but to the regular public who don't watch porn, or are curious but aren't into seeing gangbangs or DP's, Vivid is perfect - hell, when I first got into porn it was Debbie Does Dallas 99!

they've made a name for themselves as the most recognizable name in the adult industry - go to a hotel room or look at the pay-per-view listings at check out if a Vivid film is playing - you can have the shirt off my back if one isnt

remember, Vivid being recognizable to everyone outside of the industry means that they have to cater to everyone's tastes - and for a viewer who doesn't watch much porn, they are (on average) usually tamer...

Mike, you work with porn? What do you do?

I think the redundant Vivid comps are a good way to get you to do what you're doing: buy more. =)

Plus, why complain? They're the cheapest out there. You can spend $30 for a new Jenna feature, or $19.99 for 4 hours of Jenna. Even if 3 scenes are on a comp you already own, that's still over 3 hours of new Jenna.

i'd say vivid probably makes the most money off of the comps, moreso than the new stuff that comes out.

now they're doing compilations of compilations. pick a phrase any phrase and it's probably the title of a new vivid comp.

even cowgirls get the cooze
if at first you don't suck seed
butt seriously
screwples
udderly ridiculous
full scale models
drive-thru pussy
weapons of masturbation
put that razor down
packing heat
porcupussy
warning: dicks at large
this way for bi way
center stage
ruthless when wet

and those are just the ones released within the last two hours

i understand the star-based comp series, but this is getting udderly ridiculous

It seems to me, when I read reviews and watch Vivid DVDs, such as Deep Inside Devon and Young Devon (as mentioned above by outkastfan), that the Vivid people make their DVDs like this:

1. Make a movie with, say, Devon
2. Get it on the market
3. Make a compilation with one/some of the scenes
4. Make another compilation with one/some of the scenes
5. Make a third... and so on

I agree that their flicks mostly contain good no-nonsense sex, but.. that recompilation thing seems to be going a little too far.

I'm very much in favour of Vivid compilations. What with the actual 'hardcore' quality of Vivid's output not being that strong its good that you can narrow down your own personal tastes to that of a particular style or star. I recently bought their compilation Girls Only: Strapped On. Not exactly the hottest sex you ever saw but it does exactly what it says on the tin. God knows how many other Vivid titles I would've had to buy to get these few sporadic scenes.

However what would really be a help is if the purchaser had more detailed reviews of these types of movies, including participants and movies where the scenes originated from. I know a few of the ADT guys do just this but comps almost seem to be the forgotten cousin when it comes to reviews. I think that this process would work twofold, firstly it would allow the purchaser to have a far better idea of what is contained and secondly it might well entice you to buy the original movie as well.

Any thoughts?
