What a delight to meet Pritam and Sam, the new general managers of Pacific Sun Entertainment, who are only going by their first names. They attended the private screening and party for Jamie Hendrix's return title, Friendly Force, and I got to sit down and spend some time with the new guys who come from the high-tech world of computers.
"I am new to the adult industry, and it is a very thrilling business," said Pritam, who took over from Motti Green. Obviously very aware of the new trends in new media and the new ways of distributing product, Pritam said he plans to stay on top of it all, but more importantly, I asked him about the trend in barebacking in the businesss, and what he thinks about that. "I do think there is a responsibility as a company owner, and so I have some concerns, but we do distribute bareback videos in our distribution that are made overseas."
He is certainly aware of the arguments, especially with Michael LaBarbera, a.k.a. Lana Luster, who has been a tireless advocate of safe sex in adult porn.
One of the biggest new launches is PacificSunWholesale.com, which launches the wholesale trade website designed specifically for whole distributors and retail stores to shop online....
One of the nicest things about Jamie Hendrix and his return to adult porn is to hear that he may slip in front of the cameras again. He still looks like a twink, even though I personally remember him coming to his first interview in 1988 saying that he wanted to be "the Madonna of porn!"...
P.S. How did Bobby Trendy, the TV personality from The Anna Nicole Show, get to Jamie Hendrix's party? Well, it turns out Bobby called at the last minute as I was walking out the door to get to the party, and said that he had a liaison once with Jamie way, way back, and could even remember the date and time, so I invited him along. Of course, they both remembered, and greeted each other wonderfully, but it could have been a cat-fight like he had with Anna so many times.
One of the things that G&G, Jamie Hendrix's company, is looking into is having both hardcore and softcore versions of their titles for hotels and cruise ships. He's also worried about the poor product that's flooding the market. "I'm still concerned about having good acting in my titles as well as good sex."...
Some Quickies...
- The new Titan Men calendar came in the mail and features some very hot shots of Dean Flynn and Rick Van Sant (as cover models) and Eduardo (on the back), with inside shots of them so hard they look like they never go down!
- Jason Crew is a hot cocksucker who doesn't choke easily, but he does when trying to take down Michael Lucas in Auditions Vol. 26: Michael's Bed. There's also an extra that shows Doucet slurping down some of Lucas' piss.
- Chad Donovan's well-known penchant for Latino studs is proven again with his new title from Latin Heat Productions (distributed by Marina Pacific), Boys of Buenos Aires. He went way south of the border to find these hot studs, including former Mr. Gay Argentina, Max Schutler, who does a romantic scene with Robinho DeSilva in the kitchen....
- No one asked him where that sausage had been, or whether he really likes a foot-long or six-incher, but poor 22-year-old Kurt Wild sent out an angry e-mail that he was fired from working at Subway just outside St. Louis when he was outed him as a gay porn star. Wild says, "A customer said they wouldn't even eat there at Subway anymore because of my past work and said that if I wasn't fired then they would boycott the store.... I should have the right to work anywhere I can." FabScout, the agency that once represented him, sent sympathies and encourages people to write him at http://groups.yahoo.com/adultconf?dest=%2Fgroup%2FKurtWild%2F.
- It's very exciting that porn great-turned-director Steve Cruz (pictured) is teaming up with videographer Leif Gobo to bring Zak Spears back in front of the camera for a Falcon Studios title. And, it's even more exciting that their first title, Blue Movie, will be about gay XXX movies of the 1970s. Zak (who hasn't been around since his non-sexual role in Buckshot's award-winning BuckleRoos in 2004) is teaming up with superstars like Dillon Buck, Nick Moretti and Nick Piston.
- Paul Barresi's next title for Mustang is Contact with guys beating each other up, then having sex. The former Golden Gloves boxer showed the guys a few moves. "I want to show the physicality of manhandling and how guys can spend their fury and then make up," says the legendary director....
- Chris Ward has got me frothing at the mouth over the new western Raging Stallion has come up with, promising to be even bigger and brawnier and nastier than their super-award-winning Grunts. It's called To the Last Man and it's in the editing stage....
