"getting it on in one hardcore scene after another just isn't as much fun." -- Savanna Samson
looks like things just keep getting worse for our friends in the adult entertainment industry. coming on the heels of the news that an HIV scare was sweeping through the biz, comes this article from the ny times detailing the recent decrease in plot and dialogue from porn films.
the reason why. the internet.
"on the Internet, the average attention span is three to five minutes,” said Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment. “We have to cater to that.”
sigh.
don't you realize what's happening people? all of you who only use sites like youporn and redtube for your porn watching needs, you're killing the porn star.
sure you laugh now, but extrapolate for a moment. consider a future when being a porn star no longer requires anything other than the ability to give or take a dick on camera. is that really a future you want to live in?
i for one, do not.
i want my porn stars to be well rounded. i want them to not only be able to give or take a dick, i want them to do it with a winning personality (see: Jeremy, Ron and Lords, Traci). otherwise why have porn stars at all? we might as well start replacing porn stars with digital people (like in that al pacino movie, Simone). is that what you want? to watch digital people fuck?
no, i didn't think so. thankfully, there is still hope.
Wicked Pictures, which averages one production a week, still plans to make two to three bigger-budget releases each year, including the recently shot “2040,” which is about the pornography business of the future.
Mr. Steve Orenstein, president of Wicked pictures, described the movie as “an almost Romeo-and-Juliet story between an aging porn star and a cyborg.”
now that's smut i can get behind (figuratively speaking).
so please, next time you're gonna watch some porn, remember, your choice matters.
