Friday, September 25, 1998

At 11AM (9/24) I arrived at Star World. Rob Spallone and Jim DiGiorgio are pulling out all stops for a $15,000 big budget two-day extravaganza for a regular reader of this site, Sin City's David Sturman.

Rob and company feared for my life this morning. A porner was furious about something I wrote. In my morally chastened state, I agreed to take it down.

Alec Metro has signed a non-exclusive contract with Eli's All Good Video. Alec does six scenes a month for them and represents AGV as their lead performer. Metro has had leading roles in bigger budget productions like the $250,00 budget Snow Leopard (directed by Nicholas Orleans) for Extreme Entertainment (Ultimate revamped, not to be confused with Tom Byron's Extreme Associates).

"Next year I'll start directing.

"Larry Flynt Publications placed a restraining order against me [because Alex made some angry phone calls to Mike Albo, the editor of HEVG]. They also sued me for the court costs of $4000. I hired an attorney to take care of that.

"I was on a shoot on Leisure Time and no one would come down because LFP has a restraining order against me. I've talked to Jimmy Flynt, Larry's nephew. He doesn't have a problem with me. I just have a problem with Mike Albo. Now I realize that it is positive press and that Hustler rips on everybody. So now I've changed my whole attitude. It no longer bothers me. At first it did. But it [Albo's ridicule directed against Metro] hasn't hurt my career.

"If directors or women stopped working with me because of what Mike Albo said, that would bother me. But it's not happening, so I have no reason to be upset. As Jimmy Flynt said, 'that's why we hired him [Albo].' That's good enough for me."

Alec's girlfriend for the last 18 months is Vivid girl Raylene, another frequent recipient of cutting remarks and ridicule from Albo and HEVG (Hustler Erotic Video Guide). "We have two dogs."

James DiGiorgio comes over. "Somebody [Jim D.] put her as the lead in their [Sin City] movie [Night Shift 2], and she got this unbelievable box cover because of it… Vivid started using that box cover in their ads."

Alec: "That is true. That was one of the hottest box covers ever shot on her. Sin City escalated her career to be noticed by Vivid."

Jim: "Who brought her to Sin City?"

Alec: "She thought it was Bud Lee."

When Raylene worked on Night Shift 2 for Jim, she thought the long-haired hippie was Bud Lee, another long haired hippie.

Jim: "She walked up to me and asked 'how's Asia?'"

Alec: "I never read my reviews. To me, AVN was most important. I didn't even know that Hustler had erotic reviews. Raylene picks up every magazine she thinks she might be in. So Raylene started picking up Hustler Erotic Video Guide and Mike Albo was already ripping on her. We didn't know that was the norm. We thought that was rude. So when he called for an interview, she declined it. But she declined it through me.

"So, they took it as me being a suitcase pimp. I guide Raylene towards good video projects, but when it comes to layouts and interviews, she's on her own. They [HEVG] directed an attack towards me and they hit my buttons, accusing me of being homosexual. That bothered me. I did not want fans to think that I was a homosexual because I can't defend myself. There might be video footage where my hand twisted weird or I looked weird, but when you're shooting video, you'll make some weird reactions. We all have some feminine qualities. It does not make us homosexual."

I talk with Christian Wolf who was annoyed with VCA's production coordinator Stephanie Ross. "We set up a date for the 23rd [of August]. I told her to get a backup girl because I had another shoot that day. I called her two hours in advance to let her know that I could not make it. I ended up showing up over two hours late because they still wanted me. I was there eight hours doing dialogue.

"I got Conjunctivitis [pink eye]. So I could not work… I gave them their stuff back though I forgot the hat. And they did not pay me. They did not give me a kill fee for my work. When I sat around on a Thomas Paine shoot for two hours, they gave me $100.

"Now I hear that she told Rob [Spallone] that I'm a thief. That I stole her hat. That she would never use me again because I got sick. Now I saved everyone in the movie from getting Conjunctivitis. VCA is a great company but for her to talk like that about me was wrong… This is a business where we are all supposed to stick together…"

In the background, a porner calls Legal Aid.

Christian has been in porn for two years. "I come in and out. I'll work for four months then stop… I've done about 90 videos."

Christian's boyfriend does not know about her porn work "but I'm getting ready to let him know."

A few months ago Christian was born again and leaving porn. "I'm still born again [Christian]…and I'm kinda leaving [porn]… I'm in and out. That thing with Stephanie has been the only problem I've had with anybody [in porn]."

Rob says there will be a porner softball game for charity on Sunday. "Bill Margold and Sharon Mitchell will be there. They better bring their football equipment. Bill says that I'm a punk. And I'm afraid. Well, I'll be at his softball game and we'll see how afraid I am…"

Earlier this week Wayne Crews helped James DiGiorgio shoot a pretty girl R-rated videos [Beverly Hill Beauties for New Vision] "with out of this world girls who wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. They were that hot. Two Penthouse centerfolds."

Jim dates one of the strippers who starred in this production.

Jim: "We went out of our way to light it nice. Slow camerawork. Everything set to music. I'm making my move [into mainstream]."

Luke: "Was it even more beautiful than the low end gonzo trash [Warehouse Sluts] you shot across the way a couple of weeks ago?"

Jim: "That had a beauty all its own. It was a reverse aesthetic. There's a beauty in trash that few people appreciate except me. There's beauty in beauty and beauty in trash… I can shoot it all… Trailer park trash can be beautiful too."

Felecia Ann (who I watched a few weeks ago on video absorbing the 18" prick of Tony D.), the tall long-legged star of this shoot has a long-lasting cold. She's coughing and sniffling her way through the day, having to pause from blowing Steve Hatcher in Rob's red Camaro to blow her nose.

Because they're shooting softcore as well as hard, the Steve - Felecia scene takes about four hours. They run through about four different sexual positions (all in or against Rob's car) finished by an anal. Felecia clears the set for her anal scene. It's common for porn actresses in particular to clear sets for particularly intimate or uncomfortable acts. Male performers often will ask to clear a set when they're having wood problems.

Felecia earns $2000 for the movie, doing three scenes including an anal.

Rob wanders into the scene, upbraiding Jim (the director both for real and in the porno movie) for taking too much time and money to shoot his artistic vision. Rob stations Vinnie, a comic who plays a Mafia hood complete with high powered weaponry, over Jim.

Rob complains that Ben Fisher, a shooter who did gay porn for Factory, owes him about $300. "He takes it in the ass and sucks dick," says Rob, pointing out some raunchy box covers from Factory featuring Ben.

Jim decides to place Jack Hammer in prison ("type casting" complains Jack) for his scene with Christian Wolf. Jack has to wait (with his paralegal girlfriend at his side) about five hours to do his scene.

Jim: "I want to provide him with motivation… So he can draw back into himself and find a place where he can understand where he is, and what better place than jail?"

Tony Eveready is now out of jail. He worked in The 18" Club this weekend (features a black guy from Arizona, Tony D., who sports a long dick, approximately 18 inches).

Oliver tells me: "The day I met these she-males I was asked to stunt-cock for a scene. I couldn't get it up. It turns out my partner was a transvestite, a guy dressed as a girl. I almost ended up in the wrong hole… I don't do anything gay…Almost, lucky I didn't…"

Jim places me in the jail cell that appears in Boogie Nights. I interview Christian and then Jim for Rob's latest extravaganza. DiGiorgio talks about his artistic vision for porno.

A porn fan writes to me: "…[W]hile I accept his [Alec] statement that he's not (and I don't care either way), I often wonder why so many of the guys in porn DO have the extremely "effeminate qualities" Mr. Metro aptly mentioned. I don't have them -- EVER -- but so many porn actors do.

"In all candor, I think may of them are closet gays or maybe bi, and that's why certain guys are able to get so much work -- they actually ARE kinda "sweet" in the effeminate sense and so the broads like working with them because it like working with a girl with a dick.

"But as a porn connoisseur, I can say that the BEST scenes are the ones in which the women detest or at least are afraid of or somewhat intimidated or disgusted by the guys they are working with.

I've never made (shot) a porn movie in my life, but I GUARANTY I could make something better than 80% of the drivel that's lensed today. Just a few simple steps:

1. No current porn actors would work on my movies and no guy would do more than one scene a day. If your load doesn't spurt when you cum, you don't get paid -- no dribbling little pea shooter s---. And Facials will always be on the face -- not the lips and chin, the face -- eyes, nose, cheeks, forehead etc…

2. Only hardcore, genuinely rough and tough guys, primarily and preferably NE Coast types, would be used. No working with the same person for at least four months and NO couples, period!!!

3. The girls would always be paid well above their daily rate for allowing the guy to be a total animal and REALLY manhandle them(Rocco style).

4. No overdubbing of sounds, no solo shots of guys cum faces but lots of shots of the woman's face, especially during anals when their faces get all contorted, and all natural sound. In other words, no acting. Just really NASTY guys, really pretty girls, and pay the girls enough to let the guys get as rough and aggressive as possible under current distribution standards.

With the right girls and say $2500 a day pay(plus discretionary bonuses for really getting filthy), I could put something together for about sixteen grand that would outsell Evil Angel, Elegant Angel, Ed Powers, Tom Byron and all the other worthless CRAP that is shot today.

BUT, I can't do it unless I want to throw away my current life, which I'm unwilling to do. Maybe under an alias and a dummy corporation, I could get away with it. Who knows. And I think the key would be this -- to treat the female talent like GOLD -- respect them, cater to them, baby them, coddle them, tolerate them, etc, EXCEPT during shoots, at which time they understand they will be treated like filthy f---ing scum sucking ass f---ing gutter sluts with no restrictions other than injury, which many of them crave in real life anyway.

One more thing: What's with the ass wipe Chuck Martino (Philmore Butts) wacking broads around? What a f---ing pussy. The guy literally f---s like a sissy boy, but then apparently is a tough guy in private, which is hard to imagine given what a LAME ass f--- the guy gives. I think the black geek character Erkel from TV could lay better pipe than that f---ing candy ass faggot . I've never seen him f--- a woman good -- not even once!!!

In the middle of the Days of Awe between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, a time of repentance at the beginning of the new Jewish year, Luke visited his counselor for 90 minutes Thursday morning. He resolved to push ahead with teshuva (repentance and return to right). He has many people to apologize to, including those he's written incorrectly about on this site. Luke apologizes, particularly to the retired porn star Kaitlyn Ashley, and Kristen for spreading false reports about their health, and to Sharon Mitchell for falsely reporting that she was leaving AIM.

Luke also feels bad for those people Luke has caused torment through his accurate reporting of the harsh comments of others. The recipients of much venom on Luke's site include Sharon Mitchell, Jim South, Bill Margold and Chuck Martino.

Luke's hands are too tired to produce a full list of those he's wronged over the past year.
