Jenna Flakes

Super8mm writes: My wife and two friends and I were going to go see Jenna Jameson dancing at the Spearmint Rhino at City of Industry last night. I said "you better call and make sure she's going to show up apparently she flakes on these these dance appearances. We called and low and behold. The man we talked to on the phone sounded pretty pissed about the whole thing and said that "at least she called this time to say she wasn't coming" and that "she would not be asked to appear there in the future." Is anyone keeping track of this? We need a running tally, maybe start placing bets. ;)

Anabolic's Rough Sex Goes Too Far

Ridley99@aol.com writes on RAME: "Rough Sex 2 " and every-RAMERs responcibility to speak out when they feel something has gone too far. The adult movie bussiness must be held accountable to the product it sells. Women should not be physically and emotional abused. The argument that any Censorship is dangerous and if you don't like it don't buy it, does not float here.

What is depicted in Rough Sex 2 is wrong, it is also irresponcible and dangerous both to the porn industry and the actresses involved. Self censorship is the only thing that works, or has the porn world become a lawless entity where anything goes as long as nobody gets hurt and people make f---in money.If the porn world can not police its own house it is a certainty that its house will be policed for it. 8 years under the administration of the " first Rain-coater" is coming to an end. There will be no Oval office Blow Jobs in the Gore whitehouse. And we all know Tipper Gore is a fierce reactionary.

Movies Like Rough Sex are an almost perfect weapon for anti-porn activists. First of all its boxcover is a perfect bill board for Dworkin and her she bitches to rally around. Also magazine shows like" 60 minutes" or 20/20 can show women getting slapped in the face or choked, something they couldn't do with videos in which penetration is the main selling point. Do not assume the courts will leave the Porn Industry alone forever,this is foolish and Naive. I will give you an example :

I live in New York. New York was once the world capital of sleaze. If you wanted it , no matter what it was, it could be found on 42nd street as well as the 8th ave district where Show World ( sigh ) held court. Show World had it all : live sex acts, guys f---ing girls on stage, women getting it on with each other, porn stars performing dildo shows asnd getting freaky with the audience, etc,etc. Along comes Mayor Rudy Guiliani, in his first term he broke 42nd street, raising the rents so high the porn shops had to flee but it was in his second term that he really went commando. He wrote laws that just about out lawed any kind of sex scene in NYC. And it just about happened overnight. Strip clubs were padlocked,stores that sold Porn tapes shut down. Do you know what Show World is today? A f---in souverneir shop that sells I love NY Tee- Shirts .Brothers, I am telling you the courts can do anything they want. The courts could shut down the sex Biz in one day, if they wanted too. And if you don't think the LAPD would get their kicks shuting down porno sets ,then you just are not aware.

Under the first" Rain-coater" things have been quiet, great, porn is more diversified and bigger then ever, so why shouldn't we let sleeping dogs lie and police are own house. Its not so much Rough Sex 2 that scares me as much as the thought of Rough Sex 6, I mean really where does Ananbolic go with this idea, Anabolic has chosen the hard rough sex angle with all its videos and this is dangerous. Other videos can sell product with a new pretty face such as Tara Patrick or Anastasia Blue, Ananbolic is under different rules, it can only sell videos by ever increasing the shock value of its product. It started with DPs, then Gang Bangs, the Gangbangs become rougher, ass-licking was added, spitting, hair-pulling, verbal Abuse and now the ultimate: real slapping and choking. So where do they go from here. Another problem is the Talent, sure right now they probably have some sick girls who enjoy this type of treatment, but porn is voracious, it demands new girls, sooner or later girls who do not like this treatment will be " forced" into the part of punching bags. It is wise for Ananabolic to cut this series now, since Anabolic only cares about profit I feel it is up to every Ramer with a conscious to let them know how they feel. I for one am an intelligent human being and I do not enjoy seeing women Physically and emoptionally abused.

Sin City star Linda Thoren writes on RAME: I agree. My x-boyfriend Tomas Edberg interviewed Jewel Valmont last week in LA for the European magazine Cats. On the question, if it was anything she regrets in her carrier, she said that, doing this scene for Anabolic in Raw Sex #1, is the only thing she would like to be undone. She was even forced to do things she had clearly said she didn't want to do. (in Europe we call these things rape...) I fear that Anabolic -- if they continue doing these kind of scenes -- jeopardize the whole future of the Biz.

Fred writes: Just out of curiosity, do you think that if the Republicans take the White House, they will start chasing pornographers? Or will they just go through the motions to curry favor with right wingers, but then forget about everything as soon as they take power? Exactly how vigorously did Meese pursue pornographers during the Reagan administration? Was it a sham or was it real?

Luke: It was real though the biggest federal prosecutions did not hit until Bush's reign. But the Regan era helped establish a moral tone in the country that frowned on the use and purchase of porn, and thus the amount of porn consumed in America dropped significantly. Porner profits plunged.

Brandy Alexandre writes: An interesting thing to think about would be how porn legality was won. In the Freeman decision, the victory centered around the performers being actors for whom the graphic depiction of sex was an integral part of their role. Now that the industry has turned predominantly to Gonzo--tapes that is nothing but a collection of staged sexual encounters--I wonder if the utter lack of any attempt at plot, story, and acting is going to shed a whole new light on what is and is not prostitution vs a porn performance that was produced during the Freeman era.

The prosecution was based on a definition of prostitution and pandering that relied on the hiring of women for personal sexual gratification, that was defended by the fact that porn hired men and women to "work" with each other to produce a teleplay. But now toss into the mix these little producers who are, themselves, paying women to perform sex acts with them attempting to wedge themselves under the same protective umbrella (I'm just playing devil's advocate) under the guise of producing a teleplay that obviously isn't by the lack of any script, story, plot or acting. Doesn't this, then, create a gentle breeze that will tumble the house of cards the industry has built over the last couple of years? All it's going to take is one tape that someone finally says is seriously offensive obscene, that doesn't have the protective elements from Freeman, and that will be end of that.

Some producers would be hard pressed to come up with stories that repeatedly required the serious abuse of women who clearly didn't know what they were getting into.

Emmett writes: Dear Mr. Ford, Riddley99 just poured a 20megaton cannister of s--- onto your Site. Amia Amore, Caroline Pierce, Deja Blue, Elizabeth X, Felicity, Keanna Bradley, Kelsey Hart, Monique DeMoan, Regan Star, Vivian Valentine; None of those women are new to porn or it's ferocity, especially Regan Starr (Ex-Favorite of Max Hardcore)! They are old enough and are fully aware of what they were about to do in Rough Sex II. Earl Slate, Jon Dough, Mickey, and Mr.Marcus were treating those women like trash can full of snot, but any of those women of could had easily walked off the set like Krysti Myst did in that gangbang for Rob Black on 1.21.00.

Now I do agree that most or all of the women did not enjoy being abused but is was their choice to complete the scene. This also applies to Max Harcore films. For the past week I got tired of hearing all of this s--- about how Max treats his women. We all know what Max is about. Women who are expieciened like"Olivia" know what that man is about. If they choose to perform with Max then that is their business. Now Max may hire fresh porn performers who nothing about the business but when they find that Max is too rough, then they should just leave.

And these fresh hires know what Max is about because he tells them. His tactics is are old news. Riddley's comments are old news as everyone else who speaks against him and Rough Sex. I agree that Rough Sex and Max Hardcore is deleterious but again, it's old news. The only thing I would like to hear as well as others, is the argument with Scotty and Max. That's it. So let's move on!

Chaim Amalek writes: Luke, Ridley is correct in his warning to porners. And for that very reason, those who oppose commercial porn should cheer on the Max Hardcores of the world as they spread gasoline all over their industry. On the other hand, if you happen to like porn and feel a need for it, then the coming changes do not auger well for you.

First, a few basic facts. Most Americans, even most of those Americans who, from time to time, view porn, do not care much for the industry itself, and they specifically do not care for the men who have made their fortunes on the gaping orifices and saliva and semen covered faces of the young, fundamentally dumb women who are its backbone. Moreover, they would care a whole lot less if it were brought to their attention just what sort of pornography is being made these days. That it is not generally known just how abusive some of this stuff has become is due in part to the lack of a prominent politician with the smarts to see just how much political hay could be made of this. All that is needed is for someone of Giuliani's stature to take on the California-based porn industry, targeting the most egregious of its exponents for the initial attack, and you will see both conservatives and liberal feminists joining forces as never before to "regulate", if not entirely shut down, this industry.

Oh, I know what you social liberals are thinking. You expect the first amendment to cover your behinds. Listen up - we live in an age in which even basic political speech can be anathematized as "hate speech" and, even worse, medicalized as indicia of insanity in need of psychiatric treatment. (Just think about what has happened to John Rocker.) Do you really think that you will be able to hide behind the first amendment (the first and last refuge of all scoundrels in this country) forever? Do you think that a smart national politician like a Senator Rudy Giuliani would be incapable of drafting meaningful, hard-hitting legislative attacks on the porn industry that it cannot evade? Consider his success in shutting down most of the commercial sex industry in hyper-liberal New York City, using nothing more elaborate than the zoning laws, and think again.

Cultural liberal elites have benefited in recent years from having as president a man who is a wannabe of theirs, and from the general stupidity of republican politicians who might otherwise have used this against him. As soon as a smart politician comes along who appreciates just how revolting many porners are both as human beings and in what they do to young women to make money, things will start to change very, very quickly in this country. So, the bottom line is this. If you hate the porn industry, support the "Max Hardcores" of the world and help rub America's nose in their work.

PS If anyone wants to get the ball rolling, he should contact Don Hewitt of 60 Minutes, Jerry Rivers (Rivera), or some younger, hungrier journalist with some of the particulars. As Ridley has noted, the story of the rise of blatently misogynistic porn would be a very, very easy story to tell on television, and certainly would garner very high ratings.

(And Luke, if you really were a journalist with ambitions beyond coveering the world of masturbatorial video, you would be contacting big media in New York yourself (LA's media are too whore-like and intellectually weak for this purpose), and push them to run with this story.)

Music critic J.D. Considine writes: >From the current page: "Chaim Amalek writes: Luke, Ridley is correct in his warning to porners. And for that very reason, those who oppose commercial porn should cheer on the Max Hardcores of the world as they spread gasoline all over their industry. On the other hand, if you happen to like porn and feel a need for it, then the coming changes do not auger well for you." Um, "auger" is a sharply pointed device used to boring holes. To "augur" means to foretell or forebode. Granted, "auger" makes a better porn-oriented pun, but I think the word you really want is "augur."

Although given the spelling skill of your other posters -- "irresponcible"? "pashion"? -- it's unlikely most readers would notice the difference. I'd be more willing to forgive Linda Thoren for her knee-slappers ("Linda Thoren: The biggest problen with Luke's site is that he publish anonymones sources. People in the biz uses him to get even. It can destroy a carrier." Destroy a carrier? What are you, Luke, a torpedo?) were I not aware that English has been compulsory in Swedish schools since the '40s. Of course, all porn actresses were all diligent students in their youth, right?

Dangerman: Well I can't be certain but I can assume that Thoren's English is in better shape than Considine's Swedish so how about the respected critic would just shut the f--- up, mmkay?

Al writes: Hey Luke! I love your site man ! I just came from the anabolic web site ,and I saw that Gangbang girl #20 was no longer for sale. Knowing full well that some porners would sell their own mothers , I have to ask. What gives? Do you know?

"Call me Minnie Softcore," writes Cindy Plenum. "All this talk about abusive porn has got me thinking about some of the videos I used to make before I met Arkady and became involved with microlivestock. One, back in the 80's, was made when bullimia was in the news because of Princess Di. I think the title was something like "Annie X: Portrait of a Bulemic" I played the title role of a woman who just couldn't keep it down during sex. In one pivotal scene, shot in a two story loft apartment, I had to stand atop a tall ladder, and vomit into a funnel connected via about 15 feet of neoprene tubing to some guys rectum at the base of the ladder. Yup - I gave the guy vomit enema. The Meese Commission fouind out about it, and subpeed me to testify. Of course, I refused, and did a few weeks at the DC jail instead. Since then I have cleaned up my act. (Some day I will tell you about my favorite flick - "Wanna Date?")"

Who Punched Roger Pipe?

Wwho punched Roger Pipe (www.rogreviews.com) at CES, opening up a cut above his eye?

Max Hardcore says it was not him.

Roger Pipe writes on RAME: "Wow bad news travels fast, or maybe good news. The cut is a few inches above the eye actually, and there is no confimration yet as to who hit me. A pissed off perfromer tired of being called man or old? An angry director upset I didn't get his vision? A rival webmaster looking to even the score? Someone I offended in cyber space perhaps?"

Dolorosax writes on RAME: "I hear poor old Rog was having a colonic spasm due to foolhardily partaking in the $9.99 Vegas-style lobster and steak special, thereby causing his facial muscles to twitch in a manner that might be construed as denoting disapproval in the general direction of Jenna Jameson, resulting in said drunken ho vaulting over the Wicked booth and dashing 20 yards in order to defend her own honor at what she imagined was a gaze of shocked disapproval at the ragged, used-up sight of her refusing to sign slicks for fans. Or, um, something to that effect. I dunno. Go ask Luke F-rd."

Roger: "I will explain who hit me very soon. I will just say this. It was a shock, not a big deal and I did not hit back. It happened Sunday afternoon. Right about the time my recorder went missing with interviews on it....clue? Losing the recorder hurt more, lots of good interviews lost.

"Which is worse, to have people think that Houston kicked my ass or to have people think Luke did it?"

Luke: It wasn't me.

Roger: Luke, just tell everyone that I want my recorder back.

Linda Thoren: The biggest problen with Luke's site is that he publish anonymones sources. People in the biz uses him to get even. It can destroy a carrier...and more important...it can destroy a life.

Luke emailed Max Hardcore about Roger Pipe and got this in return:

To All Media --- Hi, this is Cloey Adams. I'm with Max Hardcore this weekend, and I'm having a great time. Today we did a scene in the park, and tomorrow we're going to do a scene with another girl, and I'm going to fist-f--- her pussy while Max f---s her ass. I'm looking forward to feeling Max's cock as it goes in and out of her ass!

Today, Max had me on his lap while I was wearing roller skates. He was f---ing me up the ass while I showed off my hairless pussy. Then he pulled it out of my ass and pissed over my body, and put his piss right into my mouth. It looked like a drinking fountian at my elementry school. Maybe he thought we were playing basketball, swoosh!! I bet no one can shoot pee that far in the air. It was great!!!!!! Ok you naughty boys lets get serious!! We'll play more later!!

Of the many companies I have worked for, I think that working for Max Hardcore is the most straight forward, fair, and believe it or not easiest to work for. I know that I have not been in the industry for very long and don't know about many other producers but my ball is in his court. I hope you enjoy all of our fun, or just don't f---in' watch it or bad mouth something you don't understand. I'll be out on Planet Max 04, Max Extreme 13, Hollywood Hardcore 12, and Mexed out 19. Bye, Bye for now, until we cum again!!

P.S. I'll be out with Max Daddy tonight if anyone wants to reach me just look for the pink thigh high's and spiked heels. But don't tell my Daddy, Please. I'll try to be good later.

Tom Byron Sucks Cock

Diablo writes 1/22/00 on alt.cult-movies.erotica: While at CES in the Sands convention I was standing in line for a beverage after walking around all day. Tom Byron comes walking by and a reporter (maybe from Colin's Sleazy Friends? Don't get that show and never seen it) starts to interview Tom. Now I was listening to the interview and it seemed to be the normal stuff every pornstar gets asked, till the interviewer asks about the pics of Tom with the tranny. When I heard this I figured Tom would get upset, walk away, make something up, or evade it somehow. But Tom came right out and said that he sucked the tranny's dick. I applaud Tom Byron for being a man about this and admitting it instead of dodging it. I guess this ends the discussion about if the pics are fake or not, or if that is Tom.

Ramsey follows up: Thanks Diablo. People should check out Luke's archive to see who exposed Tom for the first time! Here's the full story from Luke's archive (July 19th 1999):

Ramsey Berates Byron

Ramsey from Holland writes: "Luke, I gave you the scoop last week about Tom Byron's (gay) past but you didn't pick it up. I mean one of the reasons why I like your work is because you don't care who you are exposing, you are just doing your job, that's why I attacked Marc Star for attacking you. I still believe in your work even though I'm a little disappointed in the fact that you didn't print the story. Never mind, you can read the full story also on RAME (if the MODS don't reject it). Extreme Associates need to be exposed because Rob Black is the biggest scumbag in the adult-industry but you must know that after the Brick Majors-controversy. His attacks on Stagliano, Zupko and Van Damage are pathetic, especially now with Tommy's past (see the picture). Keep up the good work, the industry (still) needs you. Ramsey Ramsamoedj."

Tom Byron Sucks Cock? (Luke suspects the picture is a fake.) Yes RAME-ers it's true, Tom Byron did suck a dick of a (she)male, I saw the picture! This is truly something because it was Rob Black who attacked John Stagliano for doing a she-male. Well Rob Black doesn't call them she-males, he calls them and I quote "A f---ing guy that's made to look like a girl with tits" (on Gene Ross 28 june 1999). Then on 29 June 1999 again on Gene Ross, Rob Black made the following statement and I quote again "Tommy takes plastic dildos up his ass not real she-male cock". I guess Tommy didn't tell his boss about his (gay) past otherwise he wouldn't have made these dumb statements. Rob Black also says that Tommy will be directing a she-male line and everybody in the video's will be wearing Stagliano masks. Well Rob, I think you better use some Tom Byron masks, at least Stagliano had the courage to come out with his story, can't say the same about Tommy. Rob Black can NEVER AGAIN use this she-male crap against Stagliano or Zupko because his partner did the same thing. Also his unfounded attacks on Van Damage about the same subject should end because it's pathetic. I hope the RAME-MODS won't see this as yet another attack on Extreme because this is piece is based on facts, I mean if Rob Black has the right to make his attacks than we should also have the right to contradict it, especially since I have 100% proof of Tom Byron's past. This maybe a little hard to accept for Tom Byron-fans but that doesn't change the facts, I mean even Luke F-rd won't put this story on his site because I did send him the story a week ago and he didn't pick it up, maybe Luke thinks it's too controversial or maybe Luke doesn't want to admit that he was wrong about Tommy because Luke also didn't thought Tommy did a (she)male. I want to thank Cindy Papa for sending me the picture of Tommy, this is truly an apocalypse, any comments from Extreme?

Sergio writes: What's all the fuss about Tom Byron sucking a cock? He was SODOMIZED WITH A DILDO in Bionca/Bruce Seven's first installment of the TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT series!

Emmett: Dear Sergio, A man who sucks cock whether it is real or not must be gay as s---. Whether that man is aware of it or not. It's no surprise to me. ANY MAN who likes to be licked in the ass all the time definitely has some homosexual issues. Now you say it was a dildo so what right? John Wayne Bobbit dick is not all real. What if Byron sucked his mechanical dildo? Would you make a fuss then?

Emmett writes: Dear Mr. Ford, This thing about Tom Byron's gay episode has got me thinking. Are all men in porn gay? I mean let's think about this. During those double penetration scenes, both men scrotums are constantly touching and their penises are always hitting each others. I keep wondering how those male performers do it? While trying to over come their fear of homophobia, are they actually unconsciously becoming gay in the process? Their dicks are constantly hitting each other during double penetration.

Then their is the saliva bit. When the men are licking a woman's vagina and anus. One guy licks first then the second man does this as well. They're actually licking and sucking another man's juice! The two men may not kiss each other but they might as well when they exchange fluids. And the ejaculation scenes are.... just plain gay. When a man ejaculates, his sperm is flying all over the place. I know that it has to be hitting the other guy! These men who have to adjust to these conditions are actually walking the fine line between homosexuality and heterosexuality.

Last month I eagerly waited for "Please 5" at my video store. When it finally came in I picked up the box and was disgusted! Sammi Moon wore a white, strap on dildo. Even in back of the box. To make matters worse the scene she was in only included one person, a man. I dropped that box more faster then Tom Byron dropped Tiffany Myxn when she lost his dogs. I have been noticing lately that big porn companies are very slowly and casually putting women with strap on dildo during a scene with another guy. Is this the second new sick perversion of the porn for this century, to have women f--- men in the ass? It would be sick as hell and would spell my retirement from porn if it does! But it would be funny to watch (ONLY ONCE) the women grudge f---ing all the men who turned their asses into pin cushing, blazing, furnace for the last decade and a half!

Brandy Alexandre, The New Sex Expert of Porn Today; What is your take on my queries? Do you think the men in porn today are unconsciously homosexual?

Goddess writes: Hey, Luke!! If you scroll to the bottom of Gene's column, you can order your ticket to the 1999 AVN awards, but you better ACT FAST, they're probably selling like hotcakes.

Pat Riley Rips Sinnamon

Prometheus Books critic Pat Riley comments on this interview of Sinnamon by MrWebReview.com:

"Mr. Web Review" (mrwebreview@hotmail.com) wrote:

Here is a portion of an interview I did with porn star Sinnamon. Get the entire version at http://www.mrwebreview.com You have an awesome body. Is it hard to maintain or do you just have good genes?

PR: Awesome? What the f...are you talking about? She has a flabby infant damaged belly and skin tags for tits. Just who do you consider has a lousy body?

Your thoughts on HIV. I've heard you speak out about it in the porn community. What steps are being taken now to prevent it? The porn community is taking steps to regulate itself regarding HIV testing. Many companies are becoming condom only.

PR: Becoming? What is she talking about? If anything they're going the other way (4-Play, Zane, Odyssey for Rodney Moore)

Not hard at all! Currently I don't have a boyfriend, only because I haven't looked. Most of the guys I date already know what I do for a living and like me because of or inspite of my profession. Yeah, I'm sure Tony Everready knows what she does for a living. I finished my directorial debut, MY BLACK ASS 4. This is the movie I've talked about were I perform my first double anal!

Oh well that's definitely a must see <g>

Chastity, Mocha, and Chocolate each perform their first double vaginal. Fans should purchase from me directly, I've made a sales deal with the company for every tape I sell. There are no residuals in the business, so this is very important.

A premium of a free pair of used panties with every video no doubt .

I will be shooting Pussyman's BIG BAD BLACK GIRLS #3 OR 4 this coming week,

Groan. Another piece of crap from David Christopher I'll have to try and stay awake through.

as well as a music video for the artist Joe. My new production company starts shooting in New York later this month. Hot ladies and guys of all nationalities should email me pics.

Translation: I can't find any people willing to perform. Time to sweep the ghettos again.

Scotty Schwartz

Scotty Schwartz writes: Luke, Geez.... I guess I'm not the idiot here after all. It only took Max 3 days to live up to his reputation of abusing actresses in this business. I feel bad for Olivia, she is a friend of mine and the fact that she went to shoot for Max Hardcore upsets me. What upsets me even more is the fact that he did his usual "I'll take it easy on you" tactics and then did the samo, samo. She was upset, this is a veteran of well over 100 adult films and she got upset, imagine what a newcommer feels like!!!

Why are we (not myself) as indivuals buying his material, letting him get away with this crap. Speaking of crap, I hear he's been having girls do it while filming, well, that's attractive, also illegal I believe... Also his so called "direct approach" is outdated, the bulling people around tactic doesn't work anymore.. I will not go away! Neither will all those who have supported me during this situation.

I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart, you are all true friends. (And that's about 99% of this industry!) From first and foremost Mark Webb!!!, JB, DK, Nic Andrews, Jim South, Harry Weiss from Metro, Quaz, Kid Vegas, Chuck Martino, Renee LaRue, Maya Devine, and many others, thank you for the support. Quoting the infamous AVN award winning Kid Vegas "his stuff discusts even me!"

Let's all stop continuing to increase his bank account and stop him to have the ability to shoot the girls in the biz. His time is up, he needs to find another line of work. Why hasn't Legend said anything? Because they make MONEY from Max! It's time for them to find another person/line to distribute....ya think?? Olivia, thank you for writing or calling Luke. Next time we catch up, I'll give you a big hug, you're a doll in my eyes and I'm truly sorry this happened to you!

As for Pat Riley, who is this guy? You and I think alike, it's time for Max to go. You are great in my eyes, keep writing.!!!! To all the talent, manufactures who will read this, stop working for Max and buying or selling this garbage. To all the distributors, please go out and buy lots more of Kid Vegas's movies long before you buy 1 more of Max's.

On another note, let's all leave Sharon Mitchell alone! She works damn hard for this industry and if not for her, we'd all be in a lot more danger. Sharon works for peanuts and people constantly question her knowledge and ability. She's definatly the hardest working woman in this industry!

Luke: Pat Riley writes the X-Rated Videotape Guides for Prometheus Books.

Goddess writes: Luke, Please post a picture of Patrick Riley, who seems to consider himself somewhat of an expert on what is beautiful and what is not.

Luke: He values his privacy.

Euro Shooter, chrisenglish1@yahoo.com, writes: I'm disappointed in Pat Riley... To describe this gorgeously, smashing beauty, Nikki Anderson as a "Fatty"? Unless she has recently put on about 15 kg. it can only lead me to believe that he is having a bad day or he is developing a severe case of Anorexia Nervosa fetish... Is he advocating having sex with...BONES?

Amused in Modesto writes: It's comical to me that Mr. Schwartz, a porn talent "manager" ( read "pimp" ), criticizes Max Hardcore for exploiting women. What a hypocrite! What makes him any better than Max? He delivers these same innocent waifs to other porn producers and then proceeds to take a commission on the sexual exploitation that ensues. Mr. Schwartz really needs to assess his own culpability in this whole sordid business before he moralizes on Max's behavior. Luke get him to temple quick!!

PS I'm betting if Scotty doesn't lay off Max soon he is going to find himself on the wrong end of a lighted speculum. Watch out Scotty!

Rob Spallone says: "Scotty, you little twat, I will stick you in Sharon Mitchell's cunt. She does s--- for the industry. When I see you face to face, you don't f---ing say a word. You hear me badmouthing her. You have no balls either, you little cunt. Now you have a problem with me. But I won't beat you up because you're too little."

Scotty Schwartz writes: Luke, Just had to write after seeing what's being talked about on your site today. Emmett says "if a girl doesn't enjoy what's happening to her on a Max set, she should leave"....Well, it's not quite that simple. First of all, most of the scenes are done at his house in Altadena, which is a major home court advantage. Second, he basically has you there as a prisoner till the job is done. If you wanted to leave, the door is 2-3 floors down and long before that he'd talk you into staying, lot of girls have tried to leave, but only a few I am sure have made it out.

As for Ridley99, I agree, Rough Sex has to go. It's too tough on the girls and it's not the kind of adult material that the government will allow much longer. When a republican get's back into office, we'll all have a tough time. Defending 99% of the business is easier than the 1% of the Rough Sex's and Max films. How do you defend dressing a girl up, beating the crap out of her, making her look 12, then sticking stuff in her ass, then supposedly making her cum? I have no idea.

Mr. Spallone, when I talked about Ms. Mitchell, I didn't see where I mentioned your name anywhere? I was just speaking from my experience with Sharon. To me she has always looked out for the business. AIM in my opinion does a lot better job than the North Hollywood testing center telling people about the industry, and what to expect when they start working. Rob, I have no problem with you, so let's not get in a war over an opinion of mine.

Last and not certainly least, my "favorite" thing to write about, Max. It seems that the battle is on and the war will soon begin. This won't go away. He had Chloe Adams write to you (Luke).yeah right......, well, after speaking with her before all of this stuff happened, she was the one who said to me "I am tired of being pissed on, fisted, etc... I want to get better work". Sounds to me like Max was writing how wonderful he is and how wonderful his work is. Do you really think that she know's exactly what tapes she'll be in? (does any girl who shoots for Max know?) Does any woman really like having a man piss in her mouth like a basketball hoop?....I'll let the readers decide.

AND, we all understand that money rules all, but it's not worth the mental problems that Max will create. I hope, if you read this Chloe that you speak up and start to go after better work. You are a very adorable young lady and have a lot to offer other companies who will not do to you what Max does to you. The decision is always up to you.

Hey Amused in Modesto...were you threatning me? "Watch out Scotty"? Sounds like it to me. Don't go there, I don't know who you are, and you don't know me. A wise man once said to me "stay out of situations which you have nothing to do with" When you spend 1 day in my shoes you'll see I do way more than just "deliver the talent to other porn producers". If you knew all I really do, you'd feel differently.. Luke, as always thanks for keeping everyone up to date.

Jim Gunn

Mike South wrote: "On another note, has anyone heard from Jim Gunn lately? My radar smells a story here, Ashley Heart ( The one named as having worked with Niki Lae is his girl) Jim has not been in PST in quite a while and Dirty Bob says his phone has been disconnected. Thats the part that "blips" my radar. Jim may well be back in Brazil or in Cali or wherever but the phone disconnected tied with the rest makes me wonder. Jim if yer out there ring in dude....Bruce Seven died so now you gotta chance at some AVN noms for girl girl stuff...hehehe Jim you know I love ya."

Diablo: Hey Luke, Jim is in LA shooting porn. He stopped by PsT last night for an hour or so while checking his email from Kinkos or someplace like that. Jim didn't mention as to whether or not he killed Bruce Seven.

XXX writes Luke: Like you, I am a Jim Gunn fan. Since we know he reads your site on a daily basis, I have a strategy for smoking Jim out. Hi, Jim. I know you're reading this, and I have some questions for you.

1. Semantics aside, what's the difference between a pimp like you and a pornographer?

2. Is it that ugly mug or that loser personality of yours that wins over all those porn chicks? They're younger women...what could they possibly see in a middle-aged gray-haired guy like you who's old enough to be a grandfather? Do you believe for one moment these young women find you physically attractive,or possibly even virile, or are do you have enough sanity and business sense to realize they only want a meal ticket?

2. What lines do you give to young female recruits to get them to perform sex for you? What do you tell them about the sex industry? Come on, Jim, give us your best sales pitch. You must be one of the all-time great salespeople considering how little you have to offer as a man, Jim.

3. Have you ever had sex with a girl in your employ? How many of the girls in your employ have you had sex with? Have any of these girls ever slept with you WITHOUT the promise of a movie role or some other promise of help in their careers? Have you ever reneged on your promises to a girl who agreed to work for you after she had sex with you? Are there any sexual boundaries you would NOT cross with the girls who work for you in order to get sex from them?

4. What is the real reason that you film ONLY girls, Jim? Is it that you are latently homosexual yourself, and watching men performing arouses your own homo-erotic fears and tendencies? Have you ever given in to these homosexual tendencies and slept with a man? Have you ever engaged in threesomes with a girl and another man? If so, this would suggest to me that you are at least bisexual.

5. Are you fooling Luke F-rd or is he fooling you?

Gigi Appleton responds: Dear Luke, Jim is in CA shooting movies so to the guy who wants to smoke him out with the negative crap...... Tell him to drop dead!!!

Jim Gunn writes: Luke: Gee, nice to see people are talking about me on your site- NOT. But since some unnamed person asked about me in a very smart-ass manner, I will let them know what I've been doing lately.

I have been busy working on the West Coast since the C.E.S. and ia2000 conventions. I just this weekend completed several movies for Pleasure Productions, including a couple of features starring Euro-beauty Silvia Saint ("Silvia's Diary" & "Dreaming Of Silvia", as well as some other hot Euro-girls like French babe Maeva and Hungarian beauty Sophie Evans in gonzo action entitled "Hollywood Escort Girls 1 & 2". I also completed the first boy-girl movie under my new Jim Gunn Productions line, "Naughty Schoolgirls #1". This movie stars several fresh 18 and 19 year old girls in boy-girl and girl-girl action, including newcummers Haley, Patrice, Jade, Holly, Brooke and Juliana. Gigi from Avalon will be distributing at 888-777-0969. Look for a Spring 2000 release.

Meanwhile screeners for my very first title "Lesbian Cherleader Squad #1" are on their way out for review- look for updates on the street date for a February 2000 release on VHS and DVD! Thanks for providing a forum Luke. Shame that this misinformed guy who started this thread obviously has me confused with another director. I'm hardly old enough to be someone's grandfather- I just had my 31st Birthday ten days ago and I'm happy to report that with three titles in the can for my new lines that things are looking good in 2000.

PS- Bruce Seven was also mentioned in the thread in a joking manner. I just wanted to say condolences to his loved ones- it was partially because of his movies in the late 80's that I took such an interest in girl-girl porn. He was truly a pioneer in this business and an inspiration to me and he deserves a little respect for that.

Python Correction

Luke wrote a week or so ago: "This year AVN awarded Space Amazons (owned by Python) as the top overall site, even though it has not been processing new customers for about a year and is primarily just an upsell site for DMR."

David Van Der Pol, owner of Python, writes: "Luke, Please verify your facts, the site is up and running it accepts customers day in day out. We are not processing any longer with the processor you mention. The site has extreme high retention ratios 7 months and longer. Clients seem to like the concept, the unique 3d adventures etc."

Luke's New Intern

Daniel writes: I emailed you earlier about being an intern. Hi, You probally don't remember me, but that isnt' what's important , what is that you know , you are a total disgrace to anyone who really is Jewish! You are confused sick f---er and if u think running a porn gossip site and printing pornstars real names is journalism that just proves you need to go back to college and read some real jewish writters. ex. Philp Roth , J .D Salinger. When young jews like myself hear white trash complain bout how the porn industry is run by the mob and jews do you think i am proud to hear that?

If you ever really knew what it is to really be really jewish , you wouldn't be running this site u jack ass!! But to you it is just spirtual enlightenment. Well f--- you buddy , being jewish is like being black , either you are born this way or u aren't . We don't need little posers like you disgracing our religon you low life!! We already have enough of them , as drug addicts and whores in the industry. Did it ever occur to you that being 1% of the american population being jewish means that as a jew you are setting an example? What kind of example do u think you are setting for other young jews, as the hip hop community would say " you need to check yourself , G" take a look in the mirror, do you think any real rabbi would look you in the Eye and tell you are doing daily mitvahs? I seriously doubt it! What you are doing is contributing to a problem and portraying a sterotype, please go to hell and die!! Thanks for being a converted sell-out, Daniel

Emmett writes: Daniel you are one oxymoronic dumb piece of fly s---. For someone like you to judge Luke F-rd you seem to have read a lot about Mr. Ford site to come to this conclusion. I have been searching on the net for two years to find a site like Mr. Ford. It is not like Mr. Ford's website is on the first page of yahoo, lycos,etc.. you would had have to type in something about adult movies or stars to find this website. So since you are a number one Jewish person Dave, then how do know of Mr.Ford site? Your dumbass was just looking for the same thing we other men have been looking for...porn starlets. I am sure any well minded Rabbi would not appreciate you reading this site or your previous comment. That comment you made on 1.23.00 was very un-Jewish of you. I suggest you seek your Rabbi for extra couseling Mr. Super Jew.

Email: Shalom Chaver [friend]! I am a young adult new; my name is Fischel, Fischel Teitelbaum. I was, until very recently, a yeshiva bachur at a Satmar yeshiva. I was seen looking at the internet at a public library and was expelled. I now have no community. I have been excommunicated. I wish to join the world of pornography community so that I might learn more about women, as this knowledge has been denied to me. I can live with you in your home in California and teach you things that I know, like tanach, talmud, and torah. I am also learning to code in html. I will also attend to your personal needs, such as cleaning your laundry, darning your socks, buying kosher food for you, and tidying up after you. I can even be your body gard, since I am a big man. I will be as a bride to you in all but the physical realms. I ask for no money for now. I just want to be like you and learn about porn, a field in which I learn so many jews excel. I hope to hear from you.

Emmett Writes

Emmett writes: "Dear Mr. Riley, Niki Lae [who just tested HIV positive] is a new performer who has only appeared in six films; Creme de la Face 30: Cum to My Potty, Lucious Latinas 1, Naked City Tampa Bay One and Two, Private Moments 421, and Real Amateur Video 12: Audition. She did two films in 1998 and four films in 1999. She has brown hair is either of Latin descent or an Afro-American."

Emmett: I think that it's wonderful that Tom Byron hired Pebbles! But one thing that leaves me confused is that he only hires one miniority at a time. First their was Sean Michaels, then Monique, Jasmine, and now Pebbles. In Mr. Ford's Star Section of Tom Byron, he basically explained that he is against racism and will put anybody of color he wants in films. If that is the case then how come the only ethnicity he as at Extreme is Jasmine and now Pebbles? How come he cannot hire more Afro-Americans, Asians, Latinas, Indians, and so on? If he's so against it then should he not reflect it? In my opinion the only ones who stand out are Jasmine and Pebbles!

Dear Mr. Ford, I have have been waiting for three weeks and I still have not heard anything about Sabrina Johnson's Gangbang 2,000 (She f---ed 2,000 men for New Years's)! Damn! It lasted for 3 to 4 days and I still haven't heard Jack s--- about it. Annabel, Jasmine, and Houston went over the top with thiers and they did not even do above 700 guys. I can understand why Cinnabunz did not get any recognition. After Cinnabunz broke Jasmine's record, a few week later Houston broke hers. I guess people are through with the gangbang fad. I hope Sabrina Johnson recieved a lot of cash because she is getting Jack squat for recognition! It just doesn't pay to f--- the equivalent of a small township! I just hope her marriage is still holding up.

Luke: In reality, Sabrina only did about 50 guys.

Emmett writes: I can't believe it! Sabrina Johnson only did 50 guys! So that means she did them all twenty times! I am happy that it was 50, it decreases her chance of getting an STD. But what makes me angry is that why didn't her promoters state Sabrina was only doing 50 guys!? That is another thing that pisses me off about porn! False representation!

John Wayn Bobbit is more stupid then a turtle sucking s--- from a snail's ass!! How the f--- can he get is dick bitten off twice!! If that s--- head (Bobbit) would realize that you can't abuse women and get away with it, the less damage would be on his dick and ego!! Now dumbass could spend about 10yrs in prison by the testomony of porn starlet, Desiree Brook. I believe the court hearing will be on January 26. Bobbit is such a dick!

Dear Mr. Ford, I hate to crack on somebody...but I have to say this. Last night on the Howard Stern Show I saw Jessica Darlin's husband. That guy is donkey ass ugly! I guess once you become a pornstar, trying find a good looking guy who will be faitful, caring, and to always love you is nearly impossible. Only the ass ugly guys are capable of doing that. In any case, love is not only blind, but drunk as a skunk, because that guy is ugly as rat s---!

I hate to appear like I am crashing on Jessica Darlin' but I cannot see her becoming anal queen of the year. Now I am not sure she succeeded but if she did get an award for that title then the CES award is a big scam! Darlin' could make almost any man drop to his knees when then look at her but her anal scenes are boring.

Look at stars such Aspen Brock, Inari Vachs, Mila, Candy Apples, Jade Marcella, Jazmine, Obsession, Mocha, Chole Nicole, Phyllisha Anne. They look erotic and act erotic when a freight train is being rammed up their asses. Those women can perform some hot anal sex! They also would work with any man or woman not matter the ethnicity.

The only person I have seen Darling work with was Lexington Steele in "Extremely Yours, Jessica Darlin". If it wouldn't for Lex that hole film would had been zero action (and also Aleksandra Nice!!)! Now she does claim on her bio in the website "Talking Blue" that she is against racism and will work with anybody of color and has lots some friends because of it (Good riddance I say!) so I guess her contract with Extreme is causing her not to branch out and f--- other men which is also causing her not get an award. Women like Invari Vachs and Mila can would appear in any series and would do anyone(Side tracking... but I think Vachs and Steele won their award for their sizzling scene in Randy West's "Up and Cummers 66". That interview that showed the real her and the steaming scene with Steele is what solidified Vachs' and Steele's award!)

When Darlin is getting rammed in the ass she just puts her face on her hand, becomes motionless, and just make a few soft moans. Compare to women like Mila and Vachs she stands no chance of winning. Darlin has the body, face, and experience but to be anal queen of the year in my book you have to take some big dicks, and they can't just be white, and have to make some erotic Movements and Verbilization. Damn! The way Inari consistently moved her torso to accomadate Lexingston Steele was beyond hot!! And that is what Darlin' has to do in order to get an award. Good Luck Jessica Darlin'.

Regarding Luke's pictures of CES, Voyager7 writes: I thought make-up was bad in videos, but let them work on themselves for public consumption and you'd think they were vying for a Ms. white trash whore title..... The person at CES,with the hookerish black eyelash concession.... musta made out big time.

Nakita Kash replies: Whoa, hang on buddy. Stop, breathe......okay, are you alive?????? Getting youre panties in a wad about makeup? Geez, don't you realize that these girls are trying to look like sluts, FOR YOU GUYS!

Jeff replies: But maybe we didn't ask them to. Maybe we just want them to look the hot chick in the secretarial pool or maybe the cute dental assistant. Its helps the fantasy along. I know I have no chance of f---ing a stripper, so the fact that all these "slut lookalikes" are also "stripper lookalikes" totally blows it for me... I, for one, don't want them to have high teased blode hair, fake tits, etc. After scoping out pix of Voy's recent obsession, Temptress, I can see why he's infatuated... now I need to find some of her flix.

Terry May: I wish they wouldn't do many any favors like that. By far my favorite pornstars are those who have at least some semblance of the girl next door. Those who buy their makeup and hair spray in bulk quantities generally don't do a lot for me. And it fits right in with the ugly fake tits, making them look very plastic and very phony.

Goddess: s---! No wonder women don't know what it is men want sex-wise, MEN don't know what they want. They want women to ACT like hookers and sluts, but they have to LOOK like dental assistants and secretaries?! What the hell is THAT all about? Face it, guys, a hard lifestyle leads to a hard look.

Green writes: Hey brother Luke. Had to weign in on the CES wardrobe comments. All of the ladies I met at CES were wonderfully friendly, witty and bright and most were very good looking without having to dress as a sideshow to impress the fans. The fans came in already impressed with them with the rare chance to meet many at one time. As I mentioned in a previous e-mail a case in point of true class and beauty and I will add smart fashion sense is Lori Michaels of Vivid. My feeling is that most who came to catch a glimpse or get something signed by their favorite stars did not come to see them dressed ready to film a scene but rather meet the real person who they can see over and over in the work they produce.

Most of you travel the country and have probably seen mainstream celebrities enroute to places on business and pleasure. You can pick the successes out from the opposite end of the airport immediately because they dress as the successes they are. You ladies are already stars from your work, we know it when we come to see you and get signings. Enjoy that success and be it for your public. The outrageous sexy dress stuff we can see when you are featuring at our local clubs. No disrespect intended ladies, we all enjoy your work and those of us fortunate enough to attend CES enjoyed meeting you.

Nakita Kash writes Luke: Hey, Wanted to let you know that I am completely aware that you post things from RAME on your site, but maybe you should be more specific when posting. You recently posted something that I had RESPONDED to someone on RAME about pics at CES. My RESPONSE was to somebody who was complaining that all of the pics he had seen from this years CES seemed to be tamer than the previous years. I was simply giving him a suggestion of why that might be. 1. Because of recent arrests of public nudity and 2. Because men seem to be a bit more ballsy and are more likely to put a hand up you skirt, all while you are kindly trying to give them a great pic to take home to their buddies. 3. And because women are becoming more business orientated, not wanting to give away everything for free. Can you post this on your website so that people can at the very least understand why I said these things, thanks Luke.

Kash writes on RAME: These girls are realizing that some fans capitalize on the pics that they take. At first it was a thrill to give a fan a good pick, maybe he would rent one of your movies! But now that everybody has a website and everybody has pics of pornstars, you guys are making money off us. Now that may seem a little rediculous, but women in the industry have been taken advatage of for a long time, and they are finally doing something about it.

BrandyAlx1: I usually get three or four hits a week to my website from yours, but with all the intelli-talk and answering questions this last week it's up to 54, and I've gotten 7 emails asking me to answer questions on your site.

Og writes: In the latest edition of WIRED, several media figures were asked several questions pertaining to their views of technology and the future, etc. Christy Canyon, billed herein as "Adult-Film Star" ( my caps ), states that the most optimistic person she knows ( implied question ) is "Porn star Victoria Paris, who taught me to always use SPF 2, get lots of facials, and worry about wrinkles later." 1 question: facials?.. .. .. . . . never mind. in this same article, opposite Canyon's page, in fact, Ben Stein is quoted as having said: "In three decades most of what's on TV will be pornography, which will simply blow all other forms of "art" off the tube." ( inside quotes are WIRED's ).

Luke: I spent Saturday night at Beth Jacob, the largest Jewish Orthodox congregation west of the Mississippi, listening to a concert by the Israeli rock group "The Moshav Band." Men and women danced in separate corners to insure modesty and to adhere to Jewish tradition.

Luken writes: With the falling of the Soviet Union, the Western consensus was that the Cold War had ended. No longer need Western children live their lives under the long shadow of nuclear holocaust....

However, that is NOT the case for today's Jewish children and youth, who still go to bed every night relying on nuclear scenarios to make their world safe. The Cold War lives on for the Jewish youth of today, who are taught to believe the world is dangerous merely because they are Jews (just as blacks believe in equally scary conspiracy theories...). Their elders tell them they must adopt a survivalist mentality in order to preserve their Jewish identity, or else they will surely be extinguished as a race.

The good news is that this Cold War mentality and ongoing fear of nuclear holocaust can be ended NOW by human beings identifying and eliminating the traditional root causes: Jewish traditionals instill today in all Jews the belief that "Jews are hated precisely because they are Jews". Obviously, this is a dead end for either change or hope...one can't change one's race. Yet this racist self-regard succeeds perfectly in producing that desperately urgent sense of a cohesive racial group forced to unite "for common survival in a dangerous nuclear world"...

Unfortunately, there is nowhere to go from here accept for the Jewish people to arm themselves to the hilt in defense and equally become the aggressor, or wait as hopeless victims for the next inevitable Holocaust or nuclear exchange. The crazy reality is that Jewish identity today is derived precisely from this traditional viewpoint and insistence on being "special" and "different" from everyone else. Then, because race, culture, and nationalism uniquely overlap for the Jews, they find that they have made a perpetual aggressor/target of themselves... a true Cold War with no end....

All elements of traditional Jewish religion and Jewish common culture gravitate toward setting the Jews apart as both culturally reactionary, and racially distinct. The price for being stubbornly "superior and apart" is forever living on the brink of nuclear holocaust...and Jewish children living in fear. The solution would be for Jews to give up their own hardheaded and hardhearted traditional military and racial identity, and find new identities in the modern world as HUMAN, NOT JEWISH.

Fear of Nuclear Holocaust is too high a price for either Jewish tradition or common racial identity...Let the young people decide.

Luke: You are asking Jews to stop being Jewish. Observance of Judaism is the only thing that makes Jews Jewish, and it also separates Jews from non-Jews. That's good by me. I believe in separation and distinction - men from women, humans from animals, right from wrong.

Luke talked Sunday afternoon with Brad (Jimplasti@aol.com) from Danger Boy Video:

Jimplasti: I had a baby girl on Dec. 13th. I tried to get our second movie out before then, and then we had a bunch of bulls--- hold us off...
Jimplasti: Our distributor, Gigi at Avalon.....she kinda found scruples and made us re cut the movie...i guess it was " degrading" to women.
Jimplasti: I mean....get a f---in clue.
Jimplasti: so, we re cut a tame version for her to put out, and we will be selling the 4X version ourselves. We actually have 750 pcs pre-sold, and we dont even sell to major distributors..... Jimplasti: but that baby.....it has changed me ....
Jimplasti: i expected a boy....a little perv like me...no prob....
Jimplasti: then it was a girl.......so Im pretty much out on the porn now.
Jimplasti: I am ussually "Living" my business, whatever biz that is.....and I cant see cradling my girl and talking on the phone about ramming a bannana up some cjicks ass.
Jimplasti: so, were putting out this movie, The Wreckage....going out this week. Then, Im cutting the last 7 scenes into 2 movies.....and a bunch of Euro stuff.....cut it all, do some boxes, then im retired. Jimplasti: and Mila is pretty much done with the biz, so I have lost my competitive streak that we used to share......
Jimplasti: So Its back to shoes.....and anyone in the Biz that has children and is intersted in the finest hand crafted italian and spanish shoes for the kids......write to me at dangerboy and Ill hook you up. Jimplasti: Alisha Klass was in my store the day before AVN awards..buying some shoes and clothes for seymours bioy.
