Jill Kelly - Bruce Willis  Mistress Olga

Wadd, a VCA documentary on John Holmes directed by Wesley Emerson, won Best Feature Documentary at the South by Southwest Film Festival Tuesday night.

The National Enquirer is all over the Jill Kelly - Bruce Willis story which broke first here.

Bananeater@webtv.net writes on RAME: "I purchased 2 porn tapes this weekend, both major new releases. Here are some of the more outrageous acts featured in these videos:

*Sex with a corpse (of course, an actress playing a corpse, not the real
thing).
*A disembodied female head inside a box orally pleasing a roomful of
men.
*A group of nearly 2 dozen men ejaculating on the face of a female.
*A "rape" scene, where a gang of men break into a house and gangbang the
female.
*A female urinating in her panties.
*A male ejaculating into the mouth of a female while she was not
expecting it (the male did this intentionally, I believe).
*A female's cum covered face dunked into a toilet while it is flushed
(this was only simulated).
*A male ejaculating into the ass of a female, who then pushes the cum
from her ass into another female's mouth.
*A female licking cum off the seat of a toilet bowl, then drooling it
into another female's mouth.

Now, I'm not here to criticize porn. I bought these tapes knowing what
was in them--in fact, I bought them because I knew they featured some of
the above scenes. In all cases, the female is a consenting party in the
activities--with the exception of the scene where the male cums in the
female's mouth.

However, I can't help but to wonder what is next. While the scenes I've
listed above may seem shocking to the non-porn viewer, I think we all
know that these activities are pretty common these days. Indeed, we may
soon consider these activities to be run of the mill, same old same old.
So what could possibly be next? What on earth could they come up with
that would be more shocking then the above scenes?

(By the way, the scenes described above are from Perverted Stories #21
and Gangbang Girl #24).

SNeece1234@aol.com replies: "In answer to bananaeaters question, there is much left unshown. Themes such as parricide, blasphemy and death by torture as sexual turn ons have yet to be explored in porn. That has been left to foreign art films such as "Salo","The Night Porter","In the Realm of the Senses." "El Topo".,"The Devils" etc. For these themes to get over in porn the PREDATORS would have to be WOMEN and the VICTIMS should be MEN. If this is done it will blunt any outcry from the feminists and those that are socially conscious re. injustice. If those that are (simulatedly) hung, burnt, mutilated, drowned in waste products are seen as rapists, pimps, wife beaters, child abusers molesters etc. then why not? If in the process their demise excites their executioners into a state of sexual
frenzy, why not?

"This is a 180 degree reversal of the current trend of misogyny that has
brought such an outcry.Such an outcry would not occur from feminists and
socially liberal elements if the victims were men. If these men were further
portrayed as anti intellectual blue collar trailer trash they would have
even less sympathy. If the predators were portrayed as wealthy, brilliant, sophisticated and charming as well as attractive and sympathetic to
gays and lesbians a strong support base among the wealthy, the intellectual, cultural and artistic elite that make and create fashion, (gays, lesbians and feminists) would be established that would be too strong to destroy.

"Picture the following scene: Max Hardcore, Rocco Siffredi, Jim Powers, Robert Black and Mike Albo are slowly strangling, hanging from ropes from an upraised scaffold while in a circle around them a dozen couples are copulating ecstatically. As they each in turn breathe their last, s---ting and ejaculating as they do, those below reach incredibly passionate orgasms, melting in ecstasy in their lovers arms. The French say that orgasms are 'petit morts' or 'little deaths'. Wouldn't death be the GRAND ORGASM? Couldn't you see Max Hardcore getting a fan letter from Andrea Dworkin telling him ...."I had the most incredible orgasm watching you hang in HUNG UP #4. Hopefully you will be hung again soon. My ultimate fantasy would be your castration but unfortunately the simulated variety aren't realistic enough and it can only be done once for real. I don't suppose it would be politically correct to thank you for improving my sex life but I won't begrudge you any satisfaction you take from that."

When journalists are too lazy to talk to newsmakers, they talk to fellow journalists, which is how a spluttering snorting sick Luke spent part of his Tuesday afternoon.

Luke: "Speaking words of wisdom, Martin Brimmer came to me, let it be."

Rodger Jacobs aka Martin Brimmer, former editor of New Rave and Dirty Magazines, says: "How did Fred Buccolini not manage to fit my name into that piece he submitted? It could've been under the reference, 'how come people speak nicely to me [Luke] on the phone than slam me in print?' That's not me. Hahaha. I'm a gentleman. I would never stab anybody in the back."

Luke: "Speaking of stabbing in the back, what are your reflections on working for Yoram Dahan at New Rave?"

Rodger: "Yoram operates Citicolor Imaging www.citicolor.com which does pr-press layouts and box covers [and taking away work from Great Western Litho]... Many of their clients are mainstream. I worked for one of their vendors writing advertising copy and Citicolor did layouts. Jeff Hickey had left the magazine in early 1998. One day in March, 1998, I dropped off some advertising copy. Yoram sat me down and asked me if I'd like to work for the magazine. I took the job to assemble some credentials as a print journalist.

"I took the magazine home, flipped through a couple of issues, and hated it. Jeff Hickey is an excellent writer but the magazine had no editorial voice and no point-of-view. They tried to cater to a Gen-X sensibility and that wasn't working. One of the first issues I picked up had a feature article in excess of 3000 words on the Stephanie Swift gangbang. The most minute details such as what was being served at the craft services table. I pitched Yoram $500 an issue to be the editor and contributing writer. He said that's way too rich for my blood, I was thinking $300. He finally relented and raised it to $350. I hung in there from the July issue of 1998 to May 1999.

"I was editor under my own name and then there were seven contributing writers. All seven were me (Claude Espee, Martin Brimmer, Candy Bytes, Todd Hacker, Hank Hobart, Wolf Larsen and Mistress Damnation). I was basically responsible for 7000 words per issue. [That works out to 5c a word. Most freelancers for major magazines get $1 a word.] I wrote 12 video reviews per issue, letters to the editor, toy reviews, and a feature article. Swank's Video World pays $100 per video review.

"At first I enjoyed the unique challenge of writing under so many different psuedonyms and try to give each moniker their own personality. Candy Bytes was a bisexual married woman who reviewed the lesbian videos and toy reviews."

Luke: "Did you try out these toys you reviewed?"

Rodger: "No. Normally I didn't even get the product. I just got the box leaves and had to write a review.

"Claude Estee was a cynic who hated most gonzo porn. So if I saw a gonzo that I really hated, I'd write the review under Claude Estee. Mistress Damnation came from a fetish column (Damnation Alley) I created. Before I came on board, all the video reviews ran together. There was no distinction between fetish videos, gonzo and story driven product like Vivid.

"Damnation Alley was a big mistake. Our art director loved the idea of having a fetish column. But there are only so many ways of saying spanked, whipped and beaten.

"I am glad that I got Roger Pipe into print. He's a good writer but he needs a strong editor..."

Luke: "A strong dominating Mistress Damnation editor..."

Rodger: "It's always frustrated me that the nudie layouts contained ads for phone sex. Everyone knows that magazines survive by the advertisers dollars but you shouldn't throw it in the reader's face like that."

Luke: "I think that lacks integrity."

Rodger: "I (Hank Hobart) once got a letter from Pam Winter of Winter Publishing. Under the moniker Hank Hobart, I had reviewed a hairy video. She wrote: "...I came across your review for a hirsuite video and came across your comments that the women 'are so butt-f---ing ugly.' I wanted to show you that hairy women can be attractive." And she sent me a copy of her magazine Hair To Stay, the world's only magazine for naturally hairy women and several hairy videos... Unfortunately, she didn't disprove me.

"I also received a letter of complaint after I revealed the age of Catalina L'Amour. Her business manager wrote a letter. Her age was on her web site.

"I wrote all the letters to the editor. Sometimes I'd praise my own writing."

Luke: "Were you ever pressured to change video reviews?"

Rodger: "No, that rarely happens in this business. Once, Yoram was courting All Good Video to advertise. And there'd been a review of one of the Freshmen Fantasy videos, which included a segment "Won't You Be My Stalker." It was about a girl who wanted to be raped. The review was negative because of that. And All Good Video called Yoram and complained vociferously. [All Good Video tend to be the biggest whiners about bad publicity. Eli Richardson accosted me at the XRCO with a stream of epithets because of some negative coverage on my site of his snotty company.]

"I watched the video and it was a rape scene. So I compromised my ethics and wrote a new review of the video and did not mention the rape scene. All Good thought they were justified since it was in the context of a fantasy.

"Then there was a client called Video Select Productions that produces videos of 60 minute trailers of phone sex ads and swingers ads. And I was asked to provide a positive write-up.

"Yoram Dahan did have an enemies list. We could not review or write anything favorable about Wicked Pictures, Video Team and All Good Video...because of his [Yoram] checkered history with AVN. [Yoram was fired by Paul Fishbein in early 1996 because he was trying to solicit advertisers from behind Paul's back to start up a competing magazine.]"

Luke: "What else can you tell me about Yoram?"

Rodger: "He's a poser and a smoothie. What happened to your gig?"

Luke: "Has this experience soured you on working for Jews or just Israelis?"

Rodger, shocked silence: "That's an unfair question. It hasn't soured me on either."

Luke: "How will you eke out a living now that you're not getting checks from Yoram?"

Rodger: "I still have advertising clients. I write for Hustler and Swank's Video World [for which Rodger is penning an article about Luke F-rd]. I write features for Wicked Pictures."

Luke: "Do you think you would've had more success in mainstream Hollywood if you'd been gay?"

Rodger laughs and repeats the question to his girlfriend who says Rodger would've had more success if he'd been Jewish.

Rodger: "If I'd been Jewish and gay and mafia..."

"Will Gene Ross ruin Luke F-rd," asks Stinkfist on the newsgroup RAME (rec.arts.movies.erotica). "I hope not.  If Ross's employer AVN is a "propaganda tool" for the biz like some think, how are we going to get the whole behind the scenes truth about whats happening in the biz? So far I haven't seen any juicy gossip on Ross's site, mostly bland news."

Doom replies on RAME: "So far, Fishbein's plan seems to be working. Gene Ross is presenting a sanitized, "corporate" gossip site. Luke has been hampered by a few events that have occurred recently:

1) Spallone and Jim South peace accord. Spallone's loose cannon ways
made for a large part of the interesting behind-the-scenes gossip on
l-keford.com. Spallone seems like a true character, not a carefully-
crafted gimmick like Extreme's outlaw image and Kid Vegas's
gen-X posturing.

2) His boneheaded move of posting Porn industry ethics rankings. Why
make those judgments and alienate potential/actual sources? Just present
their activities they way they are and let the reader draw his/her own conclusions.

3) Geneross.com. An attempt to co-op Luke by persenting an alternative
outlet for porners to get their side of the story out. A much safer bet for
the industry, since Gene and AVN have none of Luke's moral/ethical
problems with porn. Their allegiance is already bought and paid for.

> Luke is independent and Ross might be forced
>to keep silent by AVN on some stories if there damaging to advertisers.

Yep, or Gene could engage in self-censorship, knowing Paul won't be
pleased if he runs embarassing reports about Nature Boy Hampshire or Hollywood Hirsch.

FSC (the porn trade group the Free Speech Coalition) insurance commissioner Greg Zeboray writes on RAME about Marc Wallice: "The question remains, what evidence [that Marc worked while knowing he was HIV positive]? If you are referring to anything from Luke, that's NOT evidence, it's creative and biased reporting.

Doom replies: O.K., Mr. Zeboray, I will examine if there is indeed any evidence that implicates Wallice in the HIV breakout a year ago.

1. Wallice is HIV+. Hmmm...Luke broke this story IIRC. It would seem
to the unbiased observer that this is indeed a key piece of evidence. After
all, if he weren't HIV+, there is no way he could possibly be the source
that infected Brooke Ashley and/or the others.

2. Wallice had sex on film with each and every girl who got the virus in the
outbreak a year ago (also reported by Luke.) This would seem to be another piece of evidence in the Wallice affair. If he didn't have sex with them,  or share needles, or give them his blood for a transfusion, there is no way he's the source for the Ashley and/or the others.

3. The allegedly fake HIV tests came from an address that was defunct for
a year before the "test". Other irregularities about these "tests". Reported
by Luke and Gene Ross. Seems to indicate that the tests might have been
faked (A/K/A evidence.)

4. His extremely high viral load so soon after a supposedly clean HIV bill
of health. Reported by Luke and Gene Ross. I personally am not qualified
to evaluate this evidence, as I am not a medical professional. However,
perhaps this is significant evidence. Perhaps it is irrevalent evidence.
It is, at any rate, evidence.

So, Mr. Zeboray, how are the above not evidence? How has Luke's
"creative and biased" reporting caused the above points to be invalid?
Should we turn to Ben Bradlee Fishbein, Carl Bernstein Ross and
Bob Woodward Kernes to ferret out the truth with reporting that is
neither creative nor biased?

Abe: "It must be weird having a pornstar as a mom. Just think that same mouth that kisses you is the same mouth that sucks people's dicks and swallows or spits out loads of cum. ala Tiffany Mynx."

Porn star Gloria Leonard replies: "There are many things weirder than having a pornstar for a Mom, one of them being an ignorant putz like Abe. I'm not only a Mom but a Grandmother who gets lots of luscious smooches from my girls. And why would any girl let a man's fingers inside her pussy once those dirty digits have been, in no particular order, in his nose, dipped in motor oil, scratching his hairy ass and through his remaining nine strands of greasy hair? Just remember, there are more so-called "girls next door" who f--- and suck a lot more men a lot more often than the women in this business do!"
