There is no denying that Digital Playground spent a shit ton of money on the production and marketing of Pirates II.   I heard rumors about their marketing budget but I don’t know for sure.  Let’s just say if the rumors are true, they spent more money on marketing Pirates II than probably 10 normal movies cost to be made.  Anyway the point is, did all of this hoopla really pay off?  Although the movie remains at the top of the charts but you know what’s selling even better?  A movie thrown together almost overnight and rushed into production.  I’m not saying it’s a low quality piece of shit or anything but let’s be real, as fast as this fucker was made, it couldn’t of exactly had the highest of production values.  Of course I speak of the political spoof, Who’s Nailin’ Paylin from Hustler.  Knowing that your super high budget fuck flick is being outsold by this shit, has to be a sore spot of Digital Playground, who currently has their stars like Jenna Jane traveling the globe promoting the mega hit.  Truth is, by far Pirates II is a better movie.  It’s not just because the girls are hotter, which they are but because it’s clear when watching the movies that the overall production values are better with Pirates II than with Hustler’s Sara Palin political porn.  It’s crap.  They threw it together in 5 minutes and you can see it come through in the scenes of the movie.  I get that the idea was funny.  It really is but I still say Pirates II is a better movie and I hope that is reflected come awards time.

With the recent news that Jenna Jameson’s studio (now owned by Playboy) Club Jenna will no longer be producing DVDs, effective almost immediately (to be phased out by the end of this year), it sort of leaves one wondering what is really going on. I spoke to a secret industry insider who has been in the adult video game for more than a decade, he gave me some very insightful information.   He tells me that video on demand has been a long time coming.  Here is what else he had to say ….




We started to phase out the sale of VHS in about 2000, and go exclusively DVD. The same movie on DVD, that we once sold on VHS was able to be produced at a $.50 each instead of $1.50. Beyond that, there was also an improvement in the quality of our product so it just didn’t make any sense to continue stocking VHS. It was that same year that everyone began talking seriously about the Internet as a distribution method and some even set goal dates of 2005 to 2010. It was that year that Larry Flynt himself was in Vegas and said something to the effect of, DVD is nice but VOD is the way of the future. Some idiots laughed him off, sure that DVDs would be around for the next 20 or 30 years. Time would prove Larry Flynt correct.




Club Jenna may be the first major studio (if you can call Club Jenna that) to phase out DVDs but they weren’t the first to think about it or start investing in making it happen.  Studios like Vivid would seriously begin looking into distributing their movies through the Internet this same year.  Through the Vivid website, a member can watch about 800 of the Vivid titles, for one monthly price.




As Internet retailers report in some cases as much as 90% drops in sales, VOD “theaters” that have begun to pop up like AEBN, you can rent thousands and thousands of movies, including all the titles from major studios like Vivid, wicked Pictures and Digital Playground.  Pick the movie you want to watch and download it.  No need for a DVD there and no drop in sales either.  These sites are reporting record growth, despite the sluggish economy.




Truth is, VOD is coming whether we like it or not.   It’s also why you hear rumors like the ones posted at Adult FYI about “secret” meetings by studio heads and other big companies having meetings trying to fix a higher price for current VOD titles.  VOD titles may be cheaper to distribute, but movies still cost money to make and larger studios want a bigger cut per sale.  So what that means is, right now you may be able to get a movie for $7 through those VOD theater websites, but in the future that same movie may cost you $12, that is if these studio heads get their way.




Who knows.  Everything this changing so much right now.  It’s crazy and this Club Jenna thing really just pushed things forward faster than most expected.  With Club Jenna leading the way other studios will follow suit.  It’s al just a matter of time.




DVDs aren’t just out in the porn world either.  Mainstream companies like NetFlix and Blockbuster Online are already toying around with VOD distribution models and by all accounts are having great success with them.




When most assumed the next big thing in porno movies would be hi def or bluray, in reality that’s not a market big enough to invest must time in.   It’s to niche and expensive for most people.  I mean we would all love to be able to afford to pay $70 per movie for the Bluray version, but the reality of the situation is, the economy sucks and people don’t want to pay more for something. If nothing else, we can say that Jenna Jameson may have lead the way for the outing of DVDs, but the economy really is the driving force behind that. People want more porn for less money.

The big question is, with a Internet only distribution model, will studios like Club Jenna still produce quality titles like Jenna Loves Pain 2? Speaking of which, have you seen the movie trailer for Jenna Loves Pain 2? Looks quite interesting. I just so happen to have it for you.

What do Sasha Grey, Jesse Jane and Jenna Haze all have in common? Well a few things starting with the fact that the threesome are hot as fuck but also the fact that they all three grace the cover of the December 2008 issue of Genesis Magazine.  And oh what a cover shot it is.




DIGITAL PLAYGROUND CONTRACT STAR, JESSE JANE® ADORNS THE COVER OF GENESIS December Issue Features Jesse’s Treasure Plundered by “Pirates II” Costars Jenna Haze & Sasha Grey




October 13, 2008 — VAN NUYS, Calif. — The December 2008 issue of GENESIS magazine is dedicated to Digital Playground’s beautiful contract stars, like Jesse Jane®, and the blockbuster film “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge”. On the cover, Jesse is the middle of a sexy sandwich with her “Pirates II” costars Jenna Haze and Sasha Grey. Within the pages, the girls pull out the toys and get frisky with each other in one of the hottest threesomes ever. The issue also includes an erotic interview with Jesse Jane, the first published photo shoot and interview with hot new Digital Playground contract girl Riley Steele™, and an exclusive behind the scenes look at the orgasmic set of “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge”. There is also an amazing contest for fans to win a Blu-ray™ player, a collection of Digital Playground Blu-ray titles, including “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge”, a cast autographed “Pirates II” movie poster, and a 2-year subscription to the magazine. GENESIS created the most spectacular issue ever to honor the biggest adult production in history, “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge”.




“It was a no-brainer to dedicate an issue to the phenomenon that is ‘Pirates II’,” says Dan Davis, the Editor-in-Chief for GENSIS magazine. “In our opinion, this movie will go down as one of the best and most successful adult movies of all time as it is an amazing production that surpassed the expectations set forth from the first movie. The exclusive shoot and cover we have with Jesse, Jenna and Sasha is simply incredible, as well as the layout with Riley, and the Blu-ray contest they are sponsoring with us is a great opportunity for any fan. Digital Playground continues to find incredible contract stars, produce quality movies and because of their presence in this issue of GENESIS, we are sure it will be one of the best-selling issues of the year for us.”




Samantha Lewis, Digital Playground’s CEO, loves the December issue of GENESIS. “What an amazing cover and issue. Thank you so much to Dan Davis and GENESIS for providing us with a beautiful tribute to ‘Pirates II’. We thought their idea for a ‘Pirates II’ contest was wonderful and were happy to provide them with a plethora of goodies. ”




“That was one of my favorite photo shoots ever!” exclaims Jesse Jane. “And you know I love covers! It’s always an honor. Even better is to be in GENESIS with two of the sexiest chicks in porn. I will never forget having Sasha on my face and Jenna buried between my legs. I still have a smile.”

Recently (as in, on October 8 at 2:13 pm) Tim Case posted on Mike South’s blog that he’s been around so long in this business he has great contacts and one of them told him about the new Digital Playground contract girl and that it will be Angelina Armani (aka the renamed Arianna Armani).

Only thing is, this was speculated about up to 4 days prior and actually revealed the day before.  So how great can your contacts me if you reveal something already known to the public?  I’m not trying to be a dick.  I”m just saying I wouldn’t go around bragging about contacts I had that gave me information that everyone already knows.  Here you have an image posted on a fan message board from the previous day showing the information was so common knowledge it was even on the stars MySpace page already. 

To quote him he says “I’ve worked in and around porn for about 8 years now, and I have good contacts.“  That may or may not be true but what we do know is that if you have good information and don’t reveal it until after everyone already knows, then really what is the point?

DIGITAL PLAYGROUND’S “PIRATES II: STAGNETTI’S REVENGE” IS THE MOST PRE-ORDERED ADULT FILM IN HISTORY!

Digital Playground is working around the clock to keep up with the record number of pre-orders for “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge”. Only days before the film’s street date of September 27, “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” is prepared to ship the most copies of an adult film ever at one time. While the mass quantity of “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” on DVD and Blu-ray is guaranteed to also break shipping records, it still may not be enough for every store to meet the growing demand by fans to own a copy. The film is transcending common fan niches and is drawing colossal attention from both the adult and the mainstream entertainment industries.

I’ve been a fan of the Island Fever movies for some time now and recently Island Fever 4 came out and since I haven’t done a movie trailer Friday in awhile I thought this would be a great opportunity to show you the movie trailer (yes pretending like its Friday FFS).  I picked this trailer for two reasons, first because it’s a well high quality, well done theatrical trailer, even longer than most.  And last but not least because Jesse Jane looks so fucking hot in the movie trailer, you just have to see it.  How the fuck is it legal for one girl to be so god damn hot?

Experience a Place Where Your Wildest Fantasies….are only the beginning. Shot In Bora Bora and The Bahamas in HD…From The award winning director of Priates, Comes Island Fever 4. This special triple disc set includes 16 sex scenes, a dozen steamy solo sequences, and one of the most intense all girl orgies ever captured. Packed with over 3 hours of Extreme Erotic action, this unforgeable production. Starring Jesse Jane, Teagan Presley, Sophia Santi, Kinzie Kenner, Jana Cova, Marie Luv, Jean Val Jean, Marco Banderas, Evan Stone, Scott Nails, and Tommy Gunn.

Top three things about this movie?

Jesse Jane is hot as fuck

Teagan Presley’s body has never looked better

Jesse Jane is hot as fuck

Digital Playground has been posting a series of clips from the set of their new Pirates movie. This one in particular is rather good. It’s a chat with Evan Stone talking about how to get into porn and how you suck and fuck if you don’t just have to see it for yourself. Damn funny shit. “Shave your head, have a big cock” Good shit. Good shit. Jesse Jane talks in it too and after their segment, it jumps into one with Steven St. Croix and Katsuni. I didn’t fucking know that boy was even around still. Damn.

I was reading a story by Kayden Kross over at Mike South which talked about something called a Myspace fuck raffel.  Long story short, you buy a ticket for a chance to win, which the prize is you get to do a scene with a porn star.  Kayden Kross was very clear in that she in no way had anything to do with this website or these people and it was a lie that her name was on the prize list.

Fuck Raffle is a Fraud

Kayden blogs : A few months ago I got a number of emails asking if I was in the sex raffle through myspace. I said something to the tune of fuck no. Then yesterday I got two emails about it. Apparently I’m on the list (http://www.fuckraffle.net/?page_id=6). Not cool. Let this first be my absolute denial of any and all involvement in the thing. Mine was not the only name I was surprised to see on the list though. Jesse Jane? I can’t honestly see Digital Playground letting that happen. So obviously the people running the site have no intention of actually following through on their end of the raffle. Maybe it’s an obtuse ploy to just direct traffic to their site or gain media attention for some other half baked idea? I don’t know. Either way it’s fucked up.

I decided to check out this little scam of a website and just like I thought, it was in fact a scam.

Tawny Roberts?  Lanny Barby?  I don’t think so.  Tawny Roberts hasn’t been active since 2005 and Lanny Barby is on leave for at least the last few months and even then, she is still under contract with Vivid so that would legally prevent her from doing any sex scenes with anyone.  Beyond that, she isn’t even in the country right now and my sources say nor does she have plans to be any time soon.

Still not convinced that it’s a fraud?

Aria Giovanni NEVER does sex scenes with anyone.  She is a nude model, not a porn star.  Any Aria Giovanni fan can tell you that.

Bree Olson is under contract with Adam and Eve and also can’t perform on camera with other people due to the restrictions of her contract.  It’s kind of the point of being “exclusive” with a company.

Jesse Jane?  Don’t think so.  A representative from Digital Playground said aboslutely no way, is Jesse Jane or Digital Playground involved in any such thing.

Dasha?  Big no on this one.  Dasha retired years ago, married and moved to Europe.

The MySpace Fuck Raffle is a Fraud

Don’t give these dumb asses any money.  Don’t buy any tickets from them.  Don’t be stupid.

I found a video on YouTube with a behind the scenes kind of tease for Pirates II that I thought you guys might be interested in.  It’s only 1 minute and 19 seconds long but it is still rather interesting. Below that is a second teaser that Digital Playground recently posted. Enjoy!

I don’t normally watch TV during the day simply because there usually isn’t anything on and it’s proven to be more of a distraction but today I turned it on and with it on I was flipping the channel and heard someone say they named their daughter Shaneekwa.  This of course caught my attention.   Turns out the show on the Tyra Banks show today was about names and how people who give their kids stupid fucking names like Tyneka, Moneeka, Rayshalona or Diededra.

This was interesting that I would happen to see a show about names when this very subject would arrive in my email box today.  The other day I asked why Teagan Presley was no longer using her full name.  It annoyed me but not as much as people like August Night doing it.  Marketing wise, it just doesn’t make sense to do something like that as it’s much easier to market someone with a first and last name.  Teagan Presley however may be the rare exception to that simply because her first name is so extremely unique as it is.  She told me in her email that she a) owns her own name, full Teagan Presley and not anyone else.  She is on very good terms with Digital Playground and that she is the one who chose to rename herself based on how many other stars are now using the same last name.  She was trying to avoid any confusion.

It’s sort of like Beyonce.  Sure you know she has a last name but if you just say her first name you know who people are talking about just the same.  That isn’t really the case with most other first name actresses like Peaches or Princess.

Porn Stars tend to pick similar names for some reason.  For example there is Carly Parker, Charlie Parker and a Casey Parker. There is a Lacey Love of the Love Twins and a Lacey Luv.  Why the fuck would you do this?  This makes bad marketing sense.  If there is already a girl named Casey Parker, why name yourself Carly Parker?  And even worse if there is already a Devon, why the fuck would you name yourself Devon?  Here is a great example of this very issue.  There is Devon who is a former Vivid Girl and Penthouse Pet and star of movies like Club Devon, Commercial World or Devon Sent, who’s a hot little blonde who’s been in the business some 10 years now.   And then there is some new chick.  Well not “new”, as by the looks of her she’s about a full decade older than the real Devon and a brunette.  She’s in the movie Her First Lesbian Sex 13 and also Housewife Bangers 8 which includes a photo of her on the box cover and you can at least see that the Devon in this movie isn’t THE Devon.  However that is not the case in the other movies she is in and those fans of the real Devon looking to buy a new movie with their favorite porn star will get their hands on this and go WTF?  Where the fuck is Devon?  They might be a little pissed and then return it to where they bought it and then the vendor who sold it will be a little pissed that they have used product they can’t resell but had to fucking take it back because the box said one person starred in it but that person wasn’t in it.  In reality it was some nobody, brunette chick and not the famous porn star Devon.  So now they return it to their wholesaler who is really fucking not happy about this shit and it goes on and on. Now people are more and more hesitate to book girls with similar names because the people buying the movies are saying we won’t stock movies with <insert fake namer here> in it because it costs us to much money in restocks.  So now the girls are getting less and less work because of the issue of their name.  Sure some companies may book them but eventually it will become more of a problem.

So again, who’s really benefiting from this name issue?  The girls who may get less work?  Their managers or booking agents who now get less money because they can’t book them on as many jobs?  How to fix this? USE FUCKING LAST NAMES ALREADY.  JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HOW COMPLICATED IS THIS?

So back to Teagan.  You may remember from earlier she said she stopped using the name Teagan on her own because to many other pornstars were using it.   So how many porn stars really use the name Presley?  Well as it turns out, quite a few.  There is Dragana Presley, Francine Presley, Heather Presley, Jenna Presley (who besides Teagan seems to be most active), Mia Presley, Presley Maddox, Susan Presley, Teagan Presley, Texas Presley, Bob presley, Daisy Presley, Dale Presley, Franklin Presley, Presley Snait and Seth Presley,  That’s just insane.

I think it’s just crazy how many girls don’t stop and think when it comes to picking a name and even more insane that porno companies, booking agents, managers or PR reps don’t take the time out to teach these new girls what it takes to be a porn star and by that I mean the business side of things.  They should teach them about how to pick a good name, why it’s important to have a unique name, how to secure your name as a domain name before others do.
