 jimmyd _writes "
 Bill Day's "Missionary Positions," the documentary film that humourously and sometimes poignantly chronicles the Don Quixote-like quest of two, Southern California, pastors and their XXXChurch.com anti-porn crusade, continues its successful film festival run. Just this past week, the movie won the prestigious Silver Medal at the Nashville Independent Film Festival.
Last night, "Missionary Positions" premiered at the Orange County Museum of Art as part of the Newport Beach Film Festival.
Festival organizers invited your's truly to attend the screening of Day's film and to participate in a Q&A session with the audience after the movie.
A museum of art is an odd place for a pornographer to be up on a stage in front of a large audience, don't ya think? But I gotta say it was a lotta fun.
And there I go again, pretending to be the Spokesperson of Porn!

 Netflix move over. There's a new home entertainment service in cyber-town and its name is Rent-a-Dildo.
That's right, folks. Why trudge down to the wrong side of town to your local, seedy, adult store to spend way too many bucks on a cheap piece of Hong Kong-made silicone when you can have it delivered to your door for only $19 a month?
That's right! $19 a month lets you select from over 1,000 sex toys! From Dildos to Vibrators to Butt Plugs to even more exotic stuff like the "Tera Patrick Ultimate Erotic Love Doll" or the "Jenna Jameson Ass & Pussy" and more! It's all just a click or two away.
Here's how Rent-a-Dildo works: Choose the toy(s) you want from over a thousand available and Rent-a-Dildo rushes you clean toys in discreet packaging. You keep each toy as long as you want and when you return your used toys, you get new ones mailed to you!
Worried about using funky soiled dildos?
Not a problem!
Rent-a-Dildo has developed a patent-pending process (that's right, it's "patent-pending") for thoroughly cleaning each toy before it is sent out to you, the customer. So no worrisome concerns about someone else's STD being mailed to your doorstep.
Does Rent-a-Dildo include batteries?
Many of their toys are battery-operated. When you order a toy you can simply select the "batteries included option" for a small fee and you'll get the appropriate batteries to power your toy right in the box!
Best of all, you can keep each toy for as long as you want. There are no late fees! There's only a monthly subscription fee of $19 for one toy out at a time, $29.99 for two toys, and $49.99 for the Golden Dildo plan with three toys out and priority to receive new, unused toys as rentals.
jimmyD sez: Why didn't I think of this? I think I'm gonna sign up for the "Golden Dildo Plan" right now!

| NEW HOPE FROM A NEW POPE? |
|
 jimmyd _writes "Over on LukeisBack.com, regular contributor Chaim Amalek--probably another pen-name for Luke Ford--writes, "The best thing that this new Pope could do would be to provide the Church and its followers with some more spine with which to resist the ongoing Muslim invasion of Europe. If he can do that, the world will not care that he refuses to let women be priests or that he opposes the use of condoms."
The Muslim invasion of Europe? That's the best thing he could do?
Nigga, please!
How about the new Pope takes on something with a little more meaning and importance and substance? How about the new Pope takes on something like genocide? After all, the rest of the world is effectively ignoring it! Leastwise, they're ignoring the current and latest genocide gong on in Sudan, that is.
Does Chaim Amalek know that 60 million people died as a result of genocide in the 20th Century? Would Chaim suddenly care if the current death toll of 180,000 men, women, and children in Darfur, Sudan, had been Jews?
Probably.
Why?
Because I'm confident Chaim knows something about the Jewish Holocaust. It was certainly the 20th Century's most horrendous genocide with the most far-reaching consequences.
Perhaps Chaim also knows something about the Armenian Genocide of 1915? Maybe that's why Chaim is concerned--and thinks the new Pope should be concerned--about this (supposed) Muslim invasion of Europe? Maybe that's because Chaim thinks it's headed by former Ottoman Turks (Muslims) again bent on genocide?
But does Chaim know much about the Cambodian Genocide? The Bosnian Genocide? The Rwandan Genocide? The East Timor Genocide? Cuz, ya know what, Chaim? There have been more genocides than the genocide you seem to mostly care about.
The U.S. Congress has declared Darfur, Sudan, a genocide, yet it has done virtually nothing to stop the killing. In fact, much like with many other genocides, no major power on this planet has intervened in Sudan!
And why is that? I guess because, like Chaim, we're more worried about shit like the Muslim invasion of Europe. And also, like Chaim, we think important people like the Pope should also be concerned about such matters.
How is it, Chaim, that when 170,000 people died as a result of the recent Tsunami--a natural disaster--much of the world (rightfully) rallied with support? Yet those same nations are (tragically) ignoring the 180,000 killed in Sudan? And trust me on this one, Chaim, the dead in Sudan aren't a result of some natural disaster: They're dead because of an entirely evil and man-made catastrophe.
Back to the new Pope: In my opinion, the best thing the new Pope could do is work to convince the world that it doesn't matter if you're a Catholic, or a Jew, or a Muslim, or a Christian, or a Buddhist, or a Hindu, or a Wiccan, or a Pagan, or an aetheist or whatever you are. What matters is that we are all human beings with a right to live on this planet and to be free of the horrors of man-made atrocities like genocide. When all that stuff is squared away, then maybe I'll agree that there are other matters for the new Pople to deal with-- stuff like women becoming priests and birth control and, yeah, maybe even the Muslim invasion of Europe. (Although I doubt any of that will concern me much.)
Hey Chaim! I'll paraphrase the 18th Century British Statesman, Edmund Burke-- All it takes for evil to win is for good people to do nothing.
Maybe I'll expand a bit on Burke's advice: It also sometimes takes people being distracted or diverted into doing something about the wrong things or the less important things for evil to win. And European demographics--based on religion or ethnicity--doesn't necessarily qualify as something evil.

| PORN STAR BITCHES AND CANINE BITCHES |

jimmyd _writes "
Who would have thought porn stars and the term, "Man's Best Friend" would have so much in common? (Hmmm... I guess when it's put that way, its a no-brainer question for a lot of guys.)
Anyway, I stumbled on the site, PetPlace.com and found an article listing the "Top 30 Female Dog Names."
Well, being the keenly observant guy I am, the first thing I couldn't help but notice was the striking similarity between many of the names we name our dogs and many of the names porn stars name themselves!
Don't ask me what this means as a sociological or psychological phenomenon, I'm just making an observation here.

| HELLO FROM AN OLD PORNOGRAPHER |
|
 jimmyd _writes "
TO: JimmyD
FM: Old Pornographer
SUBJ: Hello From an Old Pornographer
Hello there Mr. James Digorgio,
I have been at this smut game for over 20 years. Spent some time in the Chatsworth insane assylum back in the days when I wanted to make a movie a man handed me a suitcase of money.
I read your rantings about the current state of modern pornography and I kind of agree with you. It sucks the sweat off a dead man's testicles.
But thats because no one is actually making porn in the porn-valley high these days!
I recently spoke with a penis life-support system and he said it perfectly. "People have forgotten that pornography is it is this: Profane + Cinematography=Pornography."
What made it good was at it's core it was offensive. And now,at it's best it's a circus act with people trying to stick 3 big black peckers in a small white girl's butt. And no one is shocked anymore. Fuck in most homes if you left a porn DVD on your coffee table your friends would ask to borrow it instead of saying, "You actually watch that shit?"
You see in the old days, and I'm sure you remember them, what we were doing wasn't even marginally acceptable in society. We had to watch over our shoulders for every fucking little thing. Even the girl that was on set getting her ass fucked off might have be turn-coat for some law enforcement agency. It was insulting, rude and as much as it titilated and excited, it inspired just as much hostility. Today's modern porn is more Sex-ography and with a few exceptions for community standards, everyone accepts the fact they can walk into a store and buy a DVD of someone fucking.
The problem today is there are tons and tons of sex-ographers. There are very very few pornographers! To make something profane doesn't require the use of a humanbeing getting naked and fucked. What it does require is some intelligence and imagination.
For example, everyone in america hates the Iraqi beheadings. But I know a person (and no he is NOT a friend of mine) that has assembled a tape of people loosing their heads. He has used footage from the old Soviet Union, Chechnya and Iraq. No one gets naked in it and it is really fucking hard to watch. I've seen 2 minutes of it and I'm ready to vomit.
I don't like it. I wouldn't buy it. I don't agree with it. But I have to give the devil his due. GOOD WORK! It's pornography!
I can't say for certain how he goes about it but from what I understand he does it via mail order and ships the DVD into the USA from out of country. And that in 6 months he has sold over 2,000 pieces at the price of apx. $90.00 usd. each plus shipping and handling.
All I know for sure is if his cars are any indication of his success the bastard is doing really well. So yea, there is a fair amount of money in pornography. Not sex-ography.
So if your "pornographer" collegue is making the same video each and every single time. Then I'll say that he isn't a pornographer at all. Because he has no imagination, isn't insulting anyone and only has enough intelligence to keep plugging in the same old formula that helps him make his credit card payments and rent.
You kind of have it straight with your churchy friends. Hell your pissing off the sex-ographers by talking to the born-agains and pissing off the christians because your still making your sex videos. Good work!!! On top of that you have an opinion! Which is also something that is part of the formula a good pornographer needs to make money.
In your porn-valley everyone is too busy trying to get along and not step on some ego monster toes because they might not get work if they are not liked. When time and time again it is the ones most people have something to say about, good or bad, that make most of the money.
So I'll finish this by saying I love your ranting Jimmy. And I'm hoping you will be the first pornographer in heaven with your religion buddies.
Sincerly
And old man (that is too old now for this shit)."

jimmyd _writes "There was a time when this was a fun business. But that was then and this is now. In fact, the only way I can describe the porn biz--in its current iteration--is to simply say it sucks.
Gone are the days when porn was a small fellowship of social outlaws. No, there weren't any secret porn handshakes and no one threw porn gang signs, but there was a sense of community that no longer exists.
Today, much of porn is an eclectic and loosely bound collection of misfits, grifters, braggarts, back-stabbers, liars, cheats, cretins, morons, egotists, and losers.
Sure, there were plenty of "all of the above" back when porn was fun, but the difference between yesterday's porn scum and the porn scum of today is that yesterday's porn scum acted as if they were part something larger and today's porn scum acts as if they are something larger.
And its not just the people who inhabit this world of misfits, it's also the products they produce.
Never, in the history of porn, have so many announced they're pushing the envelope and doing this and that in way's never before seen or imagined when, in fact, most of them are simply making the same shit over and over and over again-- cloning their own product and everyone else's products to the point that it all seems to be one big, fucking, terrible and boring, piece-of-shit, porn movie.
One fairly well-known director is so notorious for making the same shit over and over again, and with practically the same cast at the same location and shooting the same content, that his crew would--routinely and behind his back--refer to his shoots as "Groundhog Day."
Groundhog Fucking Day!!!!
And that's what porn is today: It's nothing but Groundhog Day and that's mostly why it sucks.

 For the three or four people who read this site, I apologize for not updating in a while. I've been busy, okay?
Doing what?
Well, for starters, "Bad Girl Modeling" is off and running and its taking up a considerable chunk of my time. So I gotta prioritize, ya know? And this site got pushed down the list of important shit to do... not that its not important, cuz it is... but , well, you know what I'm saying, right?
Anyway, being the good pagan that I am, I spent Easter Sunday shooting some Grade "A" smut: an interactive DVD for Anarchy Films, "Playing with Gigi."
Jesus wasn't the only guy rising up on Easter!
So lemme tell you something about Gigi: this new girl rocked my boat like no new girl has for a long time!
Take a good look! This young thing is HOT in capital letters! She's beautiful, versatile, sexy, playful, has a great attitude and, if I know anything about this biz, she's gonna be a superstar-- assuming she sticks with it.
In fact, I'll go way out on a limb here and, even though Gigi's only been in the biz a whopping 1 1/2 weeks, I predict some company is gonna scoop her up for a contract. Cherry Box has already signed her to a non-exclusive deal (6 pictures or something like that), but I'm talking major contract with one of the big guys.
Here's a couple of more shots of Gigi (below) ... these are not so porn and more on the glam/artistic side cuz, well, cuz I'm an artist.
If you're interested in booking Gigi, give Tim, at Naughty Modeling, a call. You won't regret it!
And look for "Playing with Gigi" (along with all the other best-selling "Playing withs...") from Anarchy Films.

| "MISSIONARY POSITIONS" A BOFFO HIT AT CINEQUEST! |
|
jimmyd _writes "
 Bill Day's funny, Quixotic, and thoroughly entertaining documentary, "Missionary Positions," rocked San Jose's Cinequest Film Festival! Named one of the Top 10 Film Festivals in the world by the Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide, Cinequest joins Cannes, Toronto, Telluride and Sundance with this honor.
Festival organizers said -- in terms of ticket sales and attendance -- "Missionary Positions" appears to be the most successful documentary in the festival's 15 year history. An additional theater (and screenings) were added to the original festival schedule to accomodate ticket pre-sales and expected sales at the door. Festival organizers permitted ticket over-sales and allowed standing-room-only audiences to fill the aisles for the screenings and the Q&A sessions afterwards.
I spoke with Bill Day today and he told me he's now receiving invitations to screen "Missionary Positions" at film festivals too-numerous-to-mention all over the world! Congratz Bill!
Here's what film critic Steve Rhodes, of IMDB's Internet Reviews had to say about "Missionary Positions."
MISSIONARY POSITIONS
A film review by Steve Rhodes
Copyright 2005 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): *** 1/2
Is it a mockumentary or a documentary? It was a question I grappled with as I watched in fascination at the absolutely hilarious and bizarre MISSIONARY POSITIONS by director Bill Day. This was a movie that was really messing with my mind. About a group with a website that brags that it is the "#1 Christian Porn Site," the group has the mottoes of "Porn Sucks" and "Jesus Loves Porn Stars."
Led by Mike Foster and Craig Gross, two young Christian ministers, the group was founded, Mike explained, after God spoke to him in the shower one day, saying the single word "porn." After forming the site XXXChurch.com, they starting going to porn conventions, setting up their booth between booths advertising porn videos and paraphernalia. These ministers' wives went along, and, dressing in bunny suits, they were frequently groped by the convention attendees. At this point in the picture, I figured that this had to all be a joke. A really, really funny joke, but a joke nonetheless.
To my surprise, although I went back and forth several times while viewing it, I eventually realized this was all for real, with one proof being all of the national television shows they were interviewed on. And these guys really believed in what they were trying to do. They were, however, honest to themselves and many times questioned whether they were doing any good with their ministry.
Along the way, the number of visitors to their site rose and fell based on the media coverage they were getting at the time. Their first commercial, featuring a midget actor who said that porn stunted his growth, caused a firestorm of protests from the Little People of America, who forced them to stop running it.
One pornographer named Jimmy D made an anti-porn commercial for free for them, featuring "Pete, the porn puppet." Jimmy D turned out to be extremely funny, producing the movie's funniest quote, telling us that "The Bible says that 'Idle hands are the devil's playground," and I make sure guys' hands aren't idle."
Mike and Craig's latest way to promote their site is a two-story high inflatable phallic symbol named "Wally the Wiener." The site tries its best to educate people on why these ministers believe porn is harmful to your health.
One thing is certain. This movie could be harmful to your health, since you may be laughing so hard you'll injure yourself.
MISSIONARY POSITIONS runs a fast and funny 1:20.
The film is being shown as part of San Jose's Cinequest Film Festival cinequest.org which runs March 2-13, 2005.

| RAMONE WONDERS WRONG-- PROBLY NOT FOR THE LAST TIME |
|
jimmyd _writes "It's almost scarey now that AVN has its own blog and we can occasionally glimpse, first-hand, some of the myopic views that exist within the minds of a few of its reporters, editors, and now bloggers.
Mike Ramone writes: "Without getting caught up in the minutia of their various posts on other sites, I can't help but think that the shots these other directors are taking at Jules Jordan stem from their envy of his success. If he hadn't won all those awards or received all those Editor's Choices or sold all those pieces, I seriously doubt we'd be having this discussion."
Since I'm guessing Ramone might be (partially) responding to something I wrote--since I'm one of the guys who wrote about the subject Ramone is AVNblogging about--I think I'll provide a little heads-up for Master Mikey.
First off, I don't envy Jules anything. I wouldn't mind having his monthly payout and I wouldn't mind doing some of the chics he does, but as for Editor's Choices and AVN Awards, you can stick those worthless commodities where the sun don't shine.
An AVN Award--and some of my movies have either been nominated for or won a few of the (supposedly) more important awards--have never done a fucking thing for me personally.
Nothing.
Nada.
Zilch.
Zero.
And neither has a good or even great review. On the plus side, a fucked-up review has never really hurt me either. So I guess that's a wash.
The level of self-importance that is not-so-subtely displayed by a few AVN bloggers is mind-blogging... I mean mind-boggling.
Jules Jordan's success is the result of Jules Jordan's work and the team that is in place at Evil Angel... Not AVN and its reviews and awards.
And P. fucking S. -- I wasn't taking a "shot" at Jules. *I* was commenting on the bullshit and "minutia" that some of porn's directors--both successful and less successful--get caught up in, i.e., "I'm a real director," or "You're not a real director," as Ramone claims he's simply doing.

| WHAT'S WITH ALL THE "I'M A DIRECTOR!" "NO YOU'RE NOT!" "YES I AM!" |
|
jimmyd _writes "I dunno what the cat clawing going on between Robby D and Jules Jordan is all about or what started it but it's freakin' lame.
Jules writes: "Let me state that I am a true director, I in fact select/book the talent used in my productions, select/book the locations, supply and pick the wardrobe/toys, I direct my camera angles, assemble lighting, shoot my own camera, instruct performers with what to do/say/react etc. come up with the concept (directing?), shoot stills, edit the final product, screen the final product."
When I hear porn directors say shit like that I shake my head and think, "These guys don't have a fuckin' clue what directing is all about"
Here's where Jules goes wrong-- he goes wrong with the first shit out of his mouth, i.e., when he says, "Let me state that I am a true director."
Had Jules said, "I am a true PORN director," I would agree. But director? Make that movie director? In its purest sense? Nigger please.
Out of all the things Jules listed that supposedly makes him a "true director," only one... ONLY ONE THING he said is part of the usual and customary job of a true director: "I direct my camera angles."
That's it. Everything else--in mainstream that is--is part of other peoples' jobs.
I'm not writing this to bag on Jules. I'm only trying to put into perspective the job of "director." Ya see, the job of "director" and the job of "porn director" are two different animals.
Why?
Easy-- Money.
In porn, there's rarely enough money to hire people to do the jobs that producers, casting directors, writers, location managers, directors of photography, and a host of others perform. You see, in porn the director is often all of the above.
So Jules: Chill out, man. You're a director, albeit a PORN DIRECTOR. And RobbyD--ditto for you, bro. Just be happy the checks you guys get are good.
Can't we all just get along and not worry about this trivial, egotistical shit? It makes us all look like bigger retards and wannabees than most of the world already thinks we are.
