MYTHCONCEPTIONS AND OTHER SHIT..…

part series of columns titled THEN AND NOW, serious and critical issues will be addressed as part of the then and now differences in the industry. Areas as diverse as the physical looks and attitudes of talent to the preparation for an anal scene to the notion of dealing with STDs will be examined. Once the fallout from the H.I.V. crisis has come to roost, and the dustcloud of fear and panic and all the accompanying false speculations have become clearer, trends and directions can properly be reflected upon. A better and more insightful picture can be presented and the course of porno futures more readily assessed. For the past few years, when asked that frequent question, "where do you think the future of porn lies?", I have been answering with a shrug and a 'who knows.' \n Members in good standing of The Shades Brigade (those who have been wearing them forever and aren't $5 a pair Johnny-come-lately types) include Antonio Passolini, Gregory Dark, Greg's mysterious former partner and International Guy Walter Dark, Tim Lake, David Christopher, Tom Byron, Joey Silvera and yours truly. Check out ancient issues of AVN for verification. \n New to the more exotic shades, perhaps, but before you laugh at the notion of wearing sunglasses indoors, at night, take a gander through a pair of Revos. Then you will understand. It's not grandstanding or trying to be 'cool', it's to improve vision. \n No matter how many times you try to explain something, simply and honestly, the distrusting morons in this business are leery--mostly because they spend most of their free time trying to be devious themselves. There are some mythconceptions (sic--it = misconceptions) regarding the personal and professional Holliday. Steve Drake ran into a couple of months back and said that he'd heard I had a foot fetish. When he mentioned who told him, the whole chain made sense. \n For the past two years I have incorporated foot play after discovering foot freaks do not comprise a small fetish group (such as bondage, frottage, etc), but rather a monstrously silent majority. I also use an overwhelming number of blondes in movies and many projects have "Blonde" in the title. Backdoor sex is a frequent occurrence as well. Now, for the record, none of these things are the be-all and end-all of my personal life. They are in the movies because those things sell ans I'm all about making movies for the fans. \n Check the track record. Up until a couple of years ago, feet were virtually ignored. If I was a foot freak, don't you think it would have cropped up sooner? I even half asssed tried to get into the notion, but just like my major repertory angels, feet aren't that big a thrill personally. Sorry to disappoint you fans--I'll still throw lots of foot action in the movies. But please don't expect 90 minutes of some guy slobbering over a gorgeous babe's big toe, because that would only sell the the handful of hardened purists. \n Apparently I've also succeeded in getting a handful of actresses who have never appeared in Holliday flicks to actually hate me. That's great. I'd rather have people hate me, without knowing the real me, than show them more than I care to reveal or cast them when they don't fit. As always, the answer is, "talk to the girls who seem to be in all my movies." I will always cop to being an elitist son of a bitch, an eternal frat boy and a self-confident (more so than cocky) dolt. If the truth be told, when many people feel they've been shined, it's really a degree of shyness and discomfort with the surroundings and circumstances on my part. Don't ever take it personal, and please say something before internalizing on phantom issues. \n You learn something new every day in this business. I just found out that Japan holds an "out of touch fuddy duddy" in higher regard than just about any other porn director. I'm honored and humbled, knowing that the wiseass American press will turn racist and quickly point out "all Japs love blondes," poo-pooing any chance for praise. Well, why the hell isn't someone else doing it better? \n This is the part I relish. Attention, Holliday Bashers, particularly mistake a minute and one per review Riley and everyone's least favorite junkie and his fashion fairy sidekick who routinely confuses cashmere, linen and exotic cottons for polyester. I thrive on your contempt or jealousy or whatever, but could y'all answer a couple of questions? \n It was brought to my attention that in Riley's latest "King Of Misinformation" tome, appearing among my many pseudonyms is one Martin Brimmer. That could only stem from the fact that I once did my friend Chad Bailey a favor by appearing in a cameo in Dirty Little Lies opposite P.J. Sparxx playing a writer named Brimmer. The real Martin Brimmer won't go on camera since he's a legitimate Hollywood screenwriter. So if Riley, the guy who calls me "industry blowhard" and is responsible for all the venomous spew and judgmental mysoginism toward women in his oft inaccurate star guide, would accept a mild correctional breeze, dozens of movies I've barely heard of could be removed from my humble entry. At least he admits to making mistakes, but still has no idea how wide ranging the errors are. \n Last January, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas, the major cable pay-per-view outlet ran a selection of 5 or 6 adult titles on the various hotel systems. Now I have long admitted there are at least two dozen directors capable of making a better movie than Idiot Boy (if marital angst love triangles are your thing), but it seems that 3 out of 5 or 4 out of 6 of the movies being offered were made by one director. \n That means that the other 100 or so porn directors combined to share the other 2 choices. \n Hint--the title included Sorority Sex Kittens 3, Nightshift Nurses 2, the much maligned Not The Lovin' Kind and this piece of shit called Car Wash Angels that seems to pull far better numbers on an umpteenth rerun than most first run features, despite the fact that the director seems to be despised by Cable Execs. Seems Nightshift 2 does the same. Also seems like someone is more in step with what funseeking public wants and gets aired in spite of himself. Oh, well....Thanks to the Ragman and the VCA Cable staff for that most unique Vegas award and for the opportunity to keep cranking my brand of fluff for the fans. Those who think the gig is based solely on friendship are those who couldn't comprehend that is has to do with results. \n In closing, if the DICK list becomes reality, a possible suggestion could be location scout and manager Ron Jarvis. What say? Later
