the sad demise of britporn

[one eyed jack]

Maybe Daves hit it on the head with the fact there is not (as much) money to be made that there used to be....When there was more money, this was the era when the Sarah Youngs, Charmaine Sinclairs, Stacey Owens and Solange Hops were getting heapfuls of money thrown at them to do the porno...Compoetition just doesnt rest with the producers, its everywhere now...including the models where as back "in the day" less was indeed more and more in demand as such which gave way to todays market.

Exactly my point bemused. I couldn't believe that he can be doing so well with these crettins shooting stuff for him. None them looked like they knew what they were doing.

Again a good point Terry. I was the one who got all of tose girls doing hard-core. And sure back then it was big money for them and indeed me. To compare they probably got back then what the girls get now but back then it was a larger sum of money because the cost of living was a lot less. And movie makers and thus disributors made bigger profits. Apart from a few obvious ones who is making fortunes now ??? Comparitively ??

OK, part the second!

Just watched the Hot Cinders preview

Observations:
Pleasing and well worked storyline - well it would be wouldn't it?
Pretty good cinematography, but some lighting and angles needed work.

But there the positive ends.

I suppose what it boils down to is acting: the delivery of the lines from many of the people was flat and laughable. OK you say, this is a sex film. It is, but when will people realise, that the linking of the sex scenes actually adds enormously to the pleasure of watching. Also there were far too many tattoos and that applies to the men as well.
Whatever, it was by far the best I've seen for a while and I have ordered it just to feel smug LOL

Exactly Buckley, wall to wall shagging is just plain boring in the end

Painfully bad acting intros are no less better Bemused

I find it outrageous that people on this site feel that they have the right to put down models/performers because they don't have the typical blonde hair, inflated boobs and probably minimal brain cells to match - the sad thing is, it is never attractive, intelligent men that make these comments, but balding, fat, middle aged men who would have no chance of pulling one of the "mingers" that they refer to.

I am very much into women - give me a normal girl next door over a jenna jameson lookalike who has probably got less personality and brains than a f**kin goldfish.

Sorry if I have offended anyone but I'm sure you have offended a few people with your comments.

All I am saying is that there are ways of saying things.. not everyone has the same taste.. each to there own.. but the things you have written are simply cruel and ignorant.

Sure Buckley the Brits cannot ever compete with the Yanks when it comes to dialog but you have to remember these people are not actors that fuck. They are just people that fuck with cameras rolling. With very few exceptions of course. Bless Em !

Excuse me buttin in here Terry, but I gotta start somewhere.

Postings on Britporn from guys wearing 'The end is nigh!' sandwich boards have been appearing on the forum since the days when a 56kb modem was fast.

Judging only on the number of new releases I'd say that Britporn is in pretty good shape. There are fresh faces, new producers and new production companies appearing regularly. There are a wide variety of features, subjects and quality. What we don't have are big budget producers, which is, as Dave says, simply down to money.

As someone who has written corporate videos for some time I can tell you that a big company will have 5 or 10 times the budget for a ten minute motivational programme than Tas had for the whole hour and a half of Hot Cinders. And that excludes the fee for a minor tv presenter to do 60 seconds to camera. If punters are prepared to happily shell out ?15 for a one scene film shot in someone's living room in an afternoon who wants to get 10 people together for five days to make a feature selling at the same price? If the punters support the like of Relish, Doll Theatre and Nectas, who want to try something more ambitious and inevitably more expensive, then I'm sure they'll deliver.

And as far as the quality of the our girls go have a look at their American releases, once they've been in makeup for 25 minutes they stand muster with any yank bird. But for some Brit producers they want to shoot the video and two stills sets in that length of time.

One final thought, if all the releases were of Hollywood blockbuster quality, how could one possibly choose which to buy from a list of 10-15 releases a week? At ?20 a time I'd be bankrupt in a month.

"What we don't have are big budget producers, which is, as Dave says, simply down to money." - We do actually Bayleaf - me! I can't shoot crap for crap money! So I sit and wait for a bigger budget to come along. Problem is - it ain't coming.
