In my opinion in terms if cinema it's of the lowest standard.
My stance has always been: If you don't care for it, just ignore it.

Alright there is a difference, but like Sophie I too don't exactly have interest or respect for either. In my opinion in terms if cinema it's of the lowest standard.

I always thought it was just the same thing.Easy you got it in the name Adult cinema wich is the genre of film I watch and review are film with a story where the sex isn't a necessity to the enjoyment, simply said it's a film who rest a film without the harcore parts. Those films were made between 1970 and 1985 with big budget, real actors (from theatre, television, publicity, broadway, ...), talented director and professional crew team working on regular movies.Pornography is made on video with no professional actors where the sex is the only important thing. Most of them are boring, not enjoyable, made on a formula, don't have a real story, fill with lookalike performers, not really well made technically and to be direct nothing more than a masturbation tool for guys. Not the kind of thing I enjoy and review.

Purely out of curiosity. Is adult cinema where the actors are having real sex on screen instead of just acting? For example, if there is a film that has a lot of sex scenes but the actors are just acting then could it still be considered adult cinema, or is it only when the actors actually have sex on screen?
Would you class the movie Shortbus as adult cinema or art-house? The sex scenes in that are all real but given the plot and and style I'm would say more art house.
