I think a new genre needs to be created and here it is...
Nowadays, long gone are the days I actually watch porn. With the arrival of DVD searching and precise movement, it's a no brainer that nothing other than the wanted angle, section, etc. gets played in the 74 seconds I need from it if that be the route to hardability and all(although I prefer stills for quickies during the week). Enough about me.
Here's what I think would be freakin awesome!!! :tongue:
Take a cool movie like Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels for example...do the cool scenes with all the funny hard man dialogue and all, really over the top, then intersperse it with just 3 or so complete hardcore porn scenes that follow the storyline.
The Vivid/PT style of movie porn today is just worthless because no matter the storyline or plot, you're still watching porn stars act out a predominantly uninteresting and boring storyline(can you say SKIP button?? EVERYTIME!!).
Fuck all that, get a few real actors playing coke dealers or something, give the viewers something interesting to watch(guy topics - guns, drugs, sports, + action), keep the girls from speaking for the most part and suddenly cut to the hardcore XXX for some serious quality porn lying in complete ambush for 4 scenes or so.
I have a wealth of creative potential in this regard because I think there are lots of people who like to think they're not watching only for the gape shots and all - two of my friends included who always want to borrow something "like a real movie". I sit around thinking "porn needs something that's not trying to be a real movie all the way through, yet something that is more interesting than six scenes and one motel room for 2 hours of viewing." I could care less personally because I'm a 93% SKIP button sniper, but hey there's obviously a market because PT porn "movies" just keep being made.
Example #1 - brief screenplay...
Arena league football team, after practice in the locker room, smart dialog talking about the pain killer addiction of one player who is falling apart before their eyes, some fellas involved in fixing the games because they owe some Vegas hard men big time, some serious trouble brewing, etc, etc.
Scene 1
Outside the practice facility, a black Audi Q7 pulls up and xxx star Julian Rios(playing SECONDARY and MINIMAL speaking/acting role, linebacker, involved in gambling ring) knows right away somethings up. He is ordered inside by the front passenger(Kimberley Franklin) while the driver(Lanny Barbie) tells him to shut the F up and orders he take off his kit. The ladies represent the gangstas and they take no shit like real hard men. They stop the SUV in a shady part of town(not at some producer's villa in the gated community named "Deviants Lair") and get their F on because he owes them whatever they need until he pays up. Rios isn't seen for the rest of the "movie" until the last scene which I won't go into detail here.
Anyone feel me here?
Hardcore porn that features in only 4 scenes, yet each scene is top quality and the ladies are all good quality. Let the porn stars act where they only need to(grunting only), and let some struggling real actors have their chance to show their stuff in a way that doesn't get them listed as involved in porn - they'll shine and show up early because you tempt them with potential sex with one of the star ladies.
Guy stuff storylines + smart writing that makes the characters stand out as "WTF is going on here? These guys aren't porn stars!!(touche!!)" + smart casting of both real actors and naked ones + quality directing from someone good yet "shunned" by Hollywood + non-porn scenes that don't look like scenes shot to simply break up the porn scenes + ORIGINALITY by the bucketload...= maybe, maybe not but at least it's something new and something worth checking out...maybe.
Here's the marketing plan in simple. Shoot in total closed door secrecy, no talk contracts and all, create few web sites you open 3 months in advance of release, all filled with ONLY brief clips of the non-porn ACTION...all warning of the future release of a movie that will shatter the norm and destroy the genre as we know it. Thing is, it is here where the buzz will be created and spread throughout the community of porn consumers.
From the dark corners of those slacking still in parents' basements to the Fort Knox-esque locked rooms of the web obsessed "teenage shutins" who only come out to feed and re-stock the tissue boxes, it is here the buzz ignites from the ones who live to be different, the ones who find the good shit LONG before the mainstream takes it, copies it, dumbs it down, and ruins it completely. These are the media consuming freaks who love nothing more than to be on the cusp of the next COOL thing(until it is consumed and forgotten quicker than a .99C download).
You see, the web sites mention nothing of XXX content on the surface, but those who have a natural will to self discover and figure shit out themselves will see something that makes them wonder WTF is up here? Hidden in plain sight are the very stars we're trying to keep below the surface until 24 minutes in. At the BOTTOM of the cast list are the words : AND POSSIBLY STARRING...Lanny Barbie, Kimberly Franklin, Julian Rios, ETC. The smart site visitor then goes into hyper discovery mode!
They watch the clips over and over, and YES!, they thought they saw a porn star dancing on stage in one of the seizure-inducing, image loaded 60 second "previews". Holy shit! Why is Eva Angelina in this real movie along with, with...WTF?!! There's a bunch of porn stars in every clip...no mention of porn??!!! The bait is swallowed and enjoyed like every marketer's dream.
The pre-release orders begin to snowball, for a few good reasons...
The DVD is only available to own by ordering IN ADVANCE from any of the 3 sites
It costs a mere $19.95 to be part of it all
There will be only 100,000 copies on sale, and once they're sold out, that's it(if successful, you'll obviously re-release it in Directors Cut/Collectors Edition format $39.95 just a few months before your 2nd title in the limited-production saga is ready to drop)
It will arrive in a sealed, glossy-black, padded envelope with the letters XXX right in the middle(although the graffiti mural graphic treatment will make it almost impossible to see the XXX as such...but you'll know!!)
Registering and purchasing one of the 100,000 available will also enter you in a draw to possibly win the invite to be in the cast of the next feature(small role yet big dreams to mingle with the top drawer porn stars on set).
Yada, yada, yada, the hooks and tempters are endless in possibility.
The negatives - it will cost a lot of money for the whole thing and the rewards won't be seen probably until you ship 469,987 copies of the 3rd feature some 3 years beyond initial start-up.
The A-list porn stars will probably require a hefty reward for signing on to do the 1st feature...you're not connected, you're talking crazy shit(a bit beyond their level of creative genius maybe?), you're degrading them as "actors" because you come right out and say "we need your body and not a thing more, so fuck of if you think some cheesy, worthless lines will be "discovered" as you want them to be...you get paid to fuck and we're gonna load your purse big time!"
Thing is, if success comes as it should, they'll be all begging to appear in the 2nd feature...and you be able to fuck them all in each and every interview...muuuuhahahaha!!
That's it. It's simple and it would work wonders with the right people. It would be like what HBO is to big network television these days = fuckin miles ahead and superior in every way. Who needs to be part of the mainstream porn with its tired ways and stagnant approach? Make it new and make it yours. My favorite TV by far, The Wire, is only so because HBO allows for such visions to be nourished and grown to full effect, at the creator's hands rather than at the advertisers comfort or whatever.
Vivid wants to branch off and give birth to something new but Goth porn is a whimper of "something different". Something different is a cool, watchable movie that has elite XXX content here and there.
The first 100,000 to own their own copy will not allow their amazing discovery to be consumed and forgotten. They'd watch it 3 or 4 times and THEN invite the crew around to watch "a really cool movie you'll never hear about...trust me!" and at the 24 minute mark they'll all jump up and quiver in astonishment as the first XXX scene progresses into undeniable "it's a fuckin porno?!!!"..."I can't believe this shit!!"..."OK, OK, shut the fuck up, the real movie is coming back on...YEAH!! He's gonna fuck that guy up with a Desert Eagle!!"
Like I said, motel room/no story porn is good enough for me. But it would be cool to see some A-list stars simply fucking their way to success without "starring" in and "acting" out some lame-ass storyline that screams "we're more than just porn...we have costumes and more than one million dollar mansion backyard to shoot in!"
I'm out!
