i haven't seen either personally

After watching both, Hookers is more disappointing because..

A. The sex scenes are worse. (At least in Devil there was one good one.)

B. I expected more. (Vivid is Vivid after all.)

C. The original was better. (Up for debate I know, but IMHO anyway)

D. The hype for Devil wasn't quite as big.

Now before I get buried in a pile of crap...something positive.

I think that for the next Hookers project VCA should gather 10 of the top directors in porn and have them ALL do their version. Let's see what Jim Powers would do, let's see what Ivan would do, let's see how Zupko would handle it, let's see what David Stanley or Guy Capo would do. And yes, let's see how Jules, John, Joey or some of the great gonzo guys would handle it.

I know it's impossible, but I think it would be interesting. That alone would be a change from this edition of "Hookers"

This will only be the second Eon McKai flick I have seen, so I'm still not settled on if I like his style or not. We'll see.

Neu Wave Hookers Review

In the end I should have stuck with "Wow, did that suck" and saved myself the time.

Are people giving this movie 4 and 5 stars because its the hip thing to do?

You and Tom Zupko are the two guys who have taken SERIOUS lumps from me and maintained your sense of humor and perspective. I appreciate that very much.

Hopefully Mr. McKai follows in your footsteps, but like you I have my doubts. I'm ready for some nasty feedback.

Oh and thanks....how would I go about making that my quote :-)

PS: I just read that VCA spend 100,000 bucks on it. Hats of Eon because he must have 90,000 in his fucking pocket. This thing looks like it took less time to make than a supre low budget Jim Powers feature. WOW, this 100 grand worth of porn. To quote one of my faves..."Do you ever get the feeling you've all been cheated?"

but Neu Wave Hookers. . . .they went so old school with it, it even had the annoying blurry lighting and music too loud to hear the action.
I thought NOTHING could ruin a Joanna Angel flick.

All that I was missing was time that I could have spent playing XBox 360 :-)

DMJ had the star power, but at the same time star power isn't always sexual power, hence my dismay for the old school studio system.

It really sucks when classic titles get a bad rap. I did like Sex World 2000 & Braodcast Barbara Too though. Goes back a while but solid titles.

I'd be open for a good run of Hershey Highway and Caught From Behind. With all the good anal out today people most likely could do these titles justice.

I was going to look at Neu Wave Hookers 'just because' but I think I'm going to have to pass. Stuntgirl and Squealer each took me about 20 minutes to watch with all the fast-forwarding I did. At least the new DMJ took me an hour.

Not that less money spent is a recipe for sucess, but when I search my memory I cant think of a single "big budget" skin flick that had a significant amount of sexual intensity.

I wonder where the magic number for overworked productions is? 40-50k$?

Maybe the problem is that the only movies studios are willing to spend the big money on are "remake sequels" or already established product lines, tying the hands of the prospective directors.

I figure the only way to make bigbudget porn interesting might be to give a proven good director with a good original idea alot of money and and let him/her just run with it. Maybe then there would atleast be some hope of the endproduct being interesting.

We watched "The New Devil in Miss Jones" a couple days ago. Jane didn't like it and wondered when the movie would get over .... she did like Nick Manning and would like to see more male eye candy in gonzos. Jane also noticed more than half of the scenes involve or are dedicated to lesbian action which she isn't into. Dick thought it was pretty good for a feature but definitely not whackable. It does make me wonder how these awards get doled out ... it seems like 9 awards for "The Devil" is too much. I wonder what we're going to think of "Pirates" which got 11 awards?? As a gonzo fan I have to say, I am more in agreement with the dominance of Evil Angel in the AVN Awards than with the awards to Vivid, Digital Playground and Wicked. I still think porn is about sex not art.

In their efforts to make features they think they have to make the sex scenes "soft" which makes them uninteresting aswell as thinking that they need what they call a "story". It seems to me that all the extra money that gets spent on features goes to things that are irrelevant to the purpose of all sex films, gonzo or feature, which is the actual sex.

I have nothing against soft porn, or porn more focused on erotica than hardcore sex. What seems to plague all such productions though is that they lack intensity, heat and true erotisicm, be they just regular porn or "art porn".
