The Structure of Porn is Collapsing on Samson

A front page article on the cover of today's New York Times highlights the ways in which technology is affecting the production of porn movies. Apparently, the little dialogue that was actually spoken in those movies is being increasingly replaced with - sex. And one starlet, Savanna Samson (whose sexual strength- I'd like to believe- comes from her pubic hair), is none too happy about it:

Savanna Samson once relished preparing for a role. “I couldn’t wait to get my next script... I used to have dialogue.”

Then comes the money quote:

“Getting it on in one hardcore scene after another just isn’t as much fun."

Which makes me think that Savanna Samson may just be in the wrong profession.

Best of all is the photo the New York Times includes with the story:
Can't you just sense the existential angst this poor woman is going through? She used to be a porn actress and now, now - it's like people only care about how well she can have sex on camera. It's tragic, really.

Addendum- One Amicus Bloggus, "Ryan," is severely affected by this development and it needs to be mentioned here.

Ryan likes watching porn, but he only likes the dialogue and the setup. He, like Savanna Samson- I guess, doesn't like the porn part of porn. Why would someone bother watching porn only for the setup, you ask. Simple. Here is Ryan's logic:

I could never realistically end up in any of the porn situations in porn, but the setup to the sex, the dialogue- that's something that could happen to me.

Ryan's lack of both confidence and voyeurism aside, the porn industry's move away from dialogue and toward more sex is leaving Ryan, and all the other sex-situations-without-sex pervs, out in the cold.

Maybe You Can Make the Transition from Porn to Mainstream

(hattip Amicus Bloggus Ami)

Much is often made about starlets' desires to start in porn but transition into the mainstream. The much that is made usually consists of how impossible it is to do that and how foolish it is to think you can do it.

But there is hope for all the porn stars perusing this blog, for you see - someone actually did make the transition. Who?

Transformers purveyor, Michael Bay. Take a look at his directorial career:

His first job was directing a Playboy centerfold video! That explains so much about how he shoots Megan Fox in the "Transformers" movies.

I guess I mostly wonder - how did he get to direct "Bad Boys" in the first place?

I'd like to think he saw the name "Bad Boys" and figured this was one more porn project right up his alley. Then he again made a similar semantic mistake with "The Rock." If the world worked like my head wanted it to, that's what would have happened.

Ultimately, this all just makes me want to watch Transporners. More than meets the eye, indeed.

A "Susan Boyle" should be the next "Cincinnati Bow Tie"

By now, you have seen the video.

Like the Octomom before her (and see the story for the most disturbing lede you'll ever read), Susan Boyle is now being offered what seems to currently be the right of passage for flash-in-the-pan internet stars: A millon dollars to star in a porn movie.

Finally someone filling the niche for the eyebrow fucking fetish crowd.
