“If it was done once before, it can certainly be done again. Of course, it would take something extremely original, innovative, and incendiary to ignite that kind of flame in the social consciousness again, but just think about what might happen if it did. ”

It could be something quiet, alternative, subversive, clever, endearing with a gentle humour — that sets the world on fire.

Honestly though, I think porn took some sort of a detour when it went from film (which, since it required money, also required thought, care, and planning) to video. Less and less and less became more-more dollars, more movies, more copies. The goal became to appeal to the individual vcr viewer just looking to get off rather than the discriminating filmgoer pursuing an all-around sensual experience.

When I buy an erotic film now it’s either a classic from the 70s or early 80s (and I avidly seek these out), a lushly operatic opus from Tinto Brass, or one of your lovely “pornomentarys”. Having sampled a variety of currently fashionable fare via rental, I’ve decided that I just don’t have any desire to own them and, yeah, they make me grumpy too-but what’s worse, they leave me unaroused, frustrated, and just generally sort of disgusted with humankind (or at least the sort of humans who make and star in these videos.)

I think though that this discontent with the state of porn is evidence that there really is an intelligent, sensitive, searching, and sizeable public out there just waiting for you and filmmakers like you to fill the need they feel for an explicit and genuinely adult erotic cinema.

But sometimes its difficult not to feel the latter.
