Cindi,
As the co-producer and principal interviewer on the award-winning feature documentary "Wadd: The Life and Times of John C. Holmes", as well as the author of "Long Time Money and Lots of Cocaine", I am better acquainted than most with the ignominy of John’s later years (the material relegated to the proverbial cutting room floor in both the movie and the book is vast and profoundly disturbing).
The April Fools joke perpetrated by Rising Star PR ("Rising Star PR Signs John Holmes") was beyond disgusting and, believe me, I am no Holmes apologist; in fact, I walked away from "Wadd" in the post-production phase because director Cass Paley’s vision of the film as a sort of valentine to Holmes didn’t quite jibe with the sociopathic monster I had come to know over 13 months of interviewing principals in John’s life, both on screen and off, an adventure that I recounted in a 1999 cover story for Eye Magazine, "Exhausted: The Dark Secrets of Johnny Wadd."
What will Rising Star PR do for publicity next? A John Belushi Memorial Speed Ball Competition at the Chateau Marmont? A Linda Lovelace Hotdog Eating Fest at Pink’s? Tasteless, tacky, and shameful, proving once again that porn never has attracted the best and brightest minds but at least we now know who occupies the bottom of the gutter: Rising Star PR.

Dear Rodger, a joke is a joke. I remember an old saying: if you can’t take a joke, fuck you.
Have a nice day.
Beyond disgusting? It was just beyond dumb, that’s all. How do you sign a dead man and who were they fooling, that’s what I’m wondering? If they had embalmed Holmes they could’ve revived his dick with caverjack in the beastly name of necromatic entertainment.
Necromatic entertainment, that sounds like a job for Mr. Aleister Crowley. Not to change the subject of the thread, but there’s a new movie out titled ‘Crowley’ about the life and adventures of this myterious figure; and here’s the best part: the movie is co-written by Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson. Check it out:

I bet that even dead Johnny would be a better performer than Christina.
Rodger, lighten up, you sound like a contract girl.
At least these guys just made a joke about Holmes…not a documentary…if anyone is banking off the late “sociopathic monster,” it’s you.
Anyway, go write a dissertation. You’re too formal for porn.
“…proving once again that porn never has attracted the best and brightest minds…”
I remember the real Luke Ford saying something similar about the people he’s met in the porn industry on ’60 Minutes’ a few years ago.
Rodger I do appreciate where you are coming from. But it was just a joke… I was spent a lot of time at Cass Paley’s house in Thousand Oaks during that time while we are working on other projects. Rodger I do agree that John Holms was a total scumbag. I think an irreverent joke at his dead ass expense is ok with me. Lighten up dude. Banking of any sociopolitical losers in porn or life is a good thing. Fuck em… Since when did fuck ups, lying users and total scumbags become sacred cows?
that’s “had spent” for you English majors out there. Long as you get the gist of it.
