I'm sure old Mr. Velvet has VERY credible sources. In reading through some of his postings I had to laugh because I KNOW some of the things he is posting is 1000% dead on true. I also know from my "almost" dealings with Eli that it looked pretty shitty right out of the gate... So ANY and ALL involvement was Order 66'd, dead on the spot.

No, it was nothing seriously bad, just tons of email cross talk -- a lot of he said/she said type of grade school shit that can't be involved during the making of these movies... At least when I'm the guy behind the camera.

Personally, I have nothing bad to say about the man... I would venture to put in my two cents worth of free advice to him by saying: "Dude, if it's YOUR business, RUN YOUR BUSINESS!!!! Never give one of the inmates the fucking keys to the asylum, and lastly, KNOW everything you can possibly know about the deal that's on the table, before jumping into something, demanding changes, rate increases, travel expenses (when I book a girl to work with me on a movie that lives well outside of my home turf, I'll gladly have her flown in on our own plane at my cost, but NEVER tell me that on top of that, I'm to pay travel expenses as well... That got the door slammed in your face real fast didn't it...? And the girl I was booking for a simple G/G + G/B pair of scenes, was recently featured on hardcore junky doing a $500 bukkake shoot...! I bet she stood proud of her "manager" on that one.)

But I honestly don't know the man personally... and have never worked with him professionally.
