I don’t understand some people. When the AVN award nominations were announced there were a flood of messages from porn stars thanking AVN for the recognition. Then there was a few messages from a producer with obvious tones of bitterness.
He’s been directing lower budget gonzo movies for a particular studio for about 6 years now. While it is true he has over 200 directorial credits to his name, this is porn and that isn’t really saying much. They are all for the same low budget type movies such as Fuck My Big Gaping Ass Hole volume 316. Beyond that he hasn’t really contributed that much to the betterment of the industry. Yet he felt slighted for not being inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame this year. I can see if maybe he had directed some big budget features or did something, anything that contributed to the betterment of the industry but he hadn’t. So yes, it annoyed me a lot about this guy and how some people have such a feeling of entitlement in this business.
Later that day my attention was drawn to a tweet by another person with the scent of bitterness. She was complaining how her “fans” wouldn’t get the joy of seeing her at the AVN show this year in Vegas because nobody had bothered to hire her for the entire year last year. She would ramble on a bit about how she is sorry to for her fans that wouldn’t get to see her at the awards show this year but maybe next year. I’m sorry but if you can’t get a single booking in an entire year, you might perhaps want to seriously consider a career change. Obviously this business isn’t for you.
Then today we had the post by Mike South who felt slighted for his lack of award nominations or to be blunt, because AVN didn’t see fit to induct him into the AVN Hall of Fame. While it is true Mike South’s efforts in getting PWL taken down were an important contribution to the betterment of the industry ….. is that ONE effort, really worth a Hall of Fame entry?
I mean come on. What else have you done? IAFD shows he has less than 30 directorial credits to his name. That’s not exactly ground breaking. I think the little fuck who used to get me coffee has more than that now with his first month in the business.
So he’s been around a long time. This is true. About 17 years. But in that time what has he specifically done for the betterment of the industry or that was so ground breaking? He posts on a blog and often refers to other blogs as “lessor” despite the fact that the 4 he calls that have 2 and 3 times more traffic than his own.
He doesn’t live in porn valley or ever attend any porn related events. At least not that I’ve heard of. I read his blog quite often and over the years have yet to see any actual talk of him doing anything for the industry other than his rants on a blog. While that’s all well and good, how does that actually entitle him to an induction in the AVN Hall of Fame?
He can lay claim to managing Kayden Kross. That is something but then again about 900 suitcase pimps that are currently active in the business use that same argument to justify their own existence.
So not to be a dick, but really what the fuck makes you people think you are so God damn special that YOU deserve to be in the hall of fame?
Not just Mike South, who out of the three people I spoke about at least can say he picked a fight with Donny Long and got the fucking stupid site taken down. But seriously people, why do you think so fucking highly of yourself? GET OVER IT. YOU AREN’T THAT FUCKING SPECIAL.
You made a few low budget fuck flicks. That doesn’t make you worthy of a hall of fame induction. It just means you did the exact same thing 4,000 other guys did. You aren’t special for it.
So let me tell you all a little secret.
GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELF.
YOU AREN’T HALF AS GREAT AS YOU SEEM TO THINK YOU ARE.
No seriously. You really aren’t.
