I apoplogise for my drop in manners, but after shooting five scenes in two days, driving five hundred miles , oh and having the tendons in my left ankle snapped wearing an inflatable cast, in increddible pain, just so I can keep my contractual agreements, my patience for direct insults has left me.
If you are so fucking great Heathray.
My next budget you can plan, and run the whole shoot, come on I am prepared to put my money where your mouyh is. But if the movie fails, you can pay for any fuck ups and re shoots.
There you are! An open challenge to Heathray de Mille, come and produce and direct your version of Top porn at my expense. That way all us useless british producers can learn something.

All I can say Marino is keep going, anyone who says humour doesnt have a place in porn is speaking as a minority I am sure. I think the homour in your films and Ben's and others is one of the reason's it has worked so well. Also one of the reasons that from an outsider's point of view it is the most copied style in porn. If what you were doing was so poor , why would it be copied?

Grandiose generalisations deserve to be flamed IMHO,add in a broad spray for all concerned without naming names and being specific and no wonder a few people get hot under the collar
If I were so peeved off with the Brit Films I'd seen I would have thought a review pointing out the shortcomings would be far better than saying something is piss poor on a forum but not specifying what exactly its being compared to
Who is the benchmark by which everyone else is being judged?

"If what you were doing was so poor , why would it be copied?"
Be good to know who is copying this style other than the few who claim they are not seeling much product?
Awaiting your answer

The only American films I watch now are those that play in the theatres. I longed for British porn and then found hardcore versions of the Ben Dover series and when funds allow I'll be stocking up on other UK producers material. I lot of girls I know prefer the UK titles over American crap as well.
I speak with the British tongue and I expect to get the same back
Respect to all those involved in UK porn. Keep it up (no pun intended).

Take a look around the internet. Ben Dover's style is copied throughout the world.
Streetblowjobs.com (chatting up girls on the street and persuading them into sex)
Milfhunter.com (similar thing)
and many many many others. All doing similar stuff to what Ben and Marino has been doing for 20 or more years.
The internet is full of sites like this

Hey Neil,
Partyhardcore.com is quite a fun site. I'd like to see a UK version of that produced. The music they use throughout the production is hilarious.
You're right about the style of Ben Dover being copied a lot now. The first time I saw that format was in a series called "Excuse Me." I really thought that was for real. Maybe is was in some cases. I never did find out who Harry was though.

You seem to forget that Ben uses a style he copied so what you are saying is its a copy of a copy!
Plus don't you think it's all a bit tired now hence the slow UK sales at the mo?

Nope. Porn is porn, the only thing that matters is the quality of the girl and the enthusiasm she brings to the scene...as well as how the guy gives it good to her to get the desired reaction too. I've said time and time before that you could have a sex scene in an alley way or a squalid flat and it could still be a good scene. Who buys a video for great locations and production values. its about the fucking first and foremost.
There are plenty producers in this game now that are doing variations on the theme of sex.
If you're tired of it all, maybe its not due to the lack of creativity but maybe individuals could be experiencing porn burn out.
TV's the same, movies are the same. Why should porn be any different. I'm gonzo all the way and will defend my interests till I die.

Neil. Ben Dover isn't copied and nor was he the first to pick up a camera and film himself having sex. I doubt Ben even consciously thought about copying Buttman. Lets not trivialise this. TV and movies and music are copying also.
Just like a lot of armchair critics who mud sling from their armchairs, everyone thinks they can make a movie better than the next person. So you bought a crap porn tape? So what. You could go to a restaurant and have a shit meal, its all relative. You could go out take pot luck on a movie and its dull as hell.
Lets face it, the camcorder gave the average man the opportunity to legitimise getting his dick sucked by paying for it. Therein lies your answer and it has nothing to do with Ben Dover.
