Today I was chatting with a friend of mine about the TV Series Masters of Horror When we got talking about the episode Sick Girl I mentioned how cute I thought the one actress in it is... Erin Brown... a cute little red-head (I have always had a thing for red-heads!)... that is when he said "That's Misty Mundae!" and that he loved her to death! That is when he told me he had some of her stuff he was willing to give me! He is sending me...

...which basically looks like ten-a-penny soft-core porn. 

[addicted2dvd]

Probably... but hey... not like I am paying for it!

[Jimmy]

...which basically looks like ten-a-penny soft-core porn. 

Sorry Jon softcore pornography doesn't exist 
softcore movies are fake and are real movie,
adult movies aren't fake and are real movies,
pornography aren't fake, is cheap and need no talent whatsoever.

[Kathy]

I knew Jon's comment would get to you Jimmy...especially since the topic revolves around Misty Mundae!

[Jimmy]

I'm almost sure he did it deliberately to made me react

[Najemikon]

erm... no I didn't. Please tell me you don't take that type of film seriously?

Point 1: Ok, Misty Mundae is in it. Big deal. All our favourite actors and actresses do crappy movies sometimes. And she is in the porn industry, so sorry, but she is not exactly a method actress. That she does proper adult films does not suddenly put her on a pedestal and predispose her against doing porn.

Point 2: Jimmy, I respect your interest in adult film, so when I say the term 'porn', rightly or wrongly, I intend it to describe films that are made just to feature sex and be aimed at one certain type of audience. I thought you made that difference too. Story? Narrative? No, just an excuse to get tits out. What I consider hard-core porn would be the extreme stuff with titles like "Cum Sluts 7" or something. When I say softcore, I'm referring to the rather silly films that just take the piss out of proper films. I had assumed though that your serious interest did not extend to crap like "Play-mate of the Apes". Really? That's no different to "Shaving Ryan's Privates"!

The reason I responded to Pete's post the way I did is that I would never consider such a DVD as part of a collection. It's just junk. Look at the cover, for goodness sake. You are not seriously trying to invest any sense of quality in that thing. This thread started because Pete's friends made the effort to give him titles that were worth owning. This stuff just changes hands as soon as the last owner has, ahem, finished with it. Perfect example is the scene in 40 Year Old Virgin where his friend dumps "a huge box of porn" on him.

Like it or not, my definition of porn is the generally accepted one. As I say, I understand the difference with much of what you review which is what I would refer to as Adult Film. 

Here's the trailer for Play-Mate. I rest my case. In fact, sorry, mate, I didn't realise until I saw this that quite clearly Misty Mundae is a porn actress. Maybe she's done some serious adult work, but this is pure and simple porn. 

[Najemikon]

  She's in this one as well!

Jon if for you pornography is the same that a movie with nudity let me tell you that I lost a lot of respect for you. Sorry but it's something that I can understand from someone who don't know better from you not at all...

I leave it at that as I don't want to wrote anything I would regret later...

[Najemikon]

say what you like, we've known each other a long time and I think we should be able to get to the bottom of this.

No, I do not consider any film with nudity to be pornography, or for that matter any film with explicit sex scenes. I have learned that difference from you. Last night I saw two or three trailers with Misty and while it is clear she is a fundamentally poor actress when compared with the Ingrid Bergmans and Grace Kellys of this world, it is also clear that sometimes, she has featured in several productions that put a lot of effort into character and story.

I don't want to see such films because I can't see past the basically awful quality and amateurish framing, but that's me, i'm a whore for a Hollywood production.

But that's what you're there for. I know you will defend and support such films without me having to watch them, and I respect you for it because its all part of the cycle in the industry as a whole. Just tell me this and put my mind at rest...

Do you consider "Play-mate of the Apes" and "Lord of the G-Strings" to be valuable films that have something to contribute?

[Jimmy]

say what you like, we've known each other a long time and I think we should be able to get to the bottom of this.

Why it's a lost cause anyway, I'm use to it...

No, I do not consider any film with nudity to be pornography, or for that matter any film with explicit sex scenes.

Funny because this is exactly what you have done here

...which basically looks like ten-a-penny soft-core porn.  

There are no such thing as softcore porn. I tought it was something I did explain quite clearly here time and time again... Guess I didn't.

Last night I saw two or three trailers with Misty and while it is clear she is a fundamentally poor actress when compared with the Ingrid Bergmans and Grace Kellys of this world

I hope you realize how this sentence is over the top... So from now on can we say that Steven spielberg is a bad director because he isn't Orson Wells or that Robert DeNiro is a bad actor because he isn't Laurence Olivier? Seriously Jon...

I don't want to see such films because I can't see past the basically awful quality and amateurish framing, but that's me, i'm a whore for a Hollywood production.

Isn' it funny that it's acceptable to accuse me of all the bad things that happen on earth when I say something like that, but it is perfectly fine when others say the same?

But that's what you're there for.

I'm sure you have realized that I don't really write reviews here anymore (except for special occasion) and in the rare time I do it's a "mainstream" movie. The fact I was accused by two trolls of watching only pornographic movies, something I don't, played a large part in this decision. So no I'm not here for that anymore...

Do you consider "Play-mate of the Apes" and "Lord of the G-Strings" to be valuable films that have something to contribute?

and the point being? Are Spiderman a film that have something to contribute? Are Texas Chainsaw Massacre a film that have something to contribute? Are Necromantik a film that have something to contribute? Are Lord of the Rings a film that have something to contribute? Who cares! If even one person is entertain by them they have contribute something.

As coincidence would have it, Jim Emerson, expanding on a piece by Richard Brody:
On nudity and sex and Shame
Haven't gotten around to read it yet, but maybe it can divert some animosity.

[addicted2dvd]

Wow... I am sorry I even mentioned this gift. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut this time? To me this is nothing more then a friend giving me a gift of a few movies in a genre I am really not familiar with to check it out. So whether I enjoy them or not I will always appreciate them.

But maybe I am being too simple-minded here and should be more critical?

Oh well... either way I am sorry I mentioned them.
