Personally, I'd like to roll porn back to the days of 8mm films and VHS tapes. There was a real danger to porn back then, both in performing it and watching it. It weeded out all the pansy casual degenerates, 'cause you had to have some stones to hoof it down to the local smut shop.



Damn straight, that also goes for the retards making it as well. Now any shithead with access to dad's expense account and a handheld can shoot garbage and call it 'porn'. We need Ed Meese to thin out the numbers a little. Did I just say that?

You say Jenna will never win an Academy award, and I agree with you 100%. But neither will Pamela Anderson, and she is considered 'mainstream'. Not Cameron Diaz mainstream, but mainstream nonetheless. Pamela's fame comes from two things (no pun intended! ) her physical appearance, which got her the Playboy and Baywatch gigs, and the Tommy Lee sex tape, which really pushed her into the stratosphere.



I don't know if a Pamela/Jenna comparison is all that accurate one takes dick on film, the other did it for home movies only and was "accidently" released. Neither would get the roll, but if one was to get it, it would go to Pamela. There is a sort of 'totem pole' if you will with actors/actresses. Top is Meryl Streep, middle is Pamela, and below the foundation are porn stars.

They also have to realise it is time to start giving the moviegoers what it is they want to see. Dare I say they could start by bringing a little nudity back in?



Nudity is one thing, but full on fucking/facials is another. What the moviegoers want is quality, you kind of alluded to it in the second/third paragraph about bean counters(I totally agreed BTW). BSG doesn't have nudity(although that would be ), it has quality acting, sripts, and plots. Something Hollywood is lacking. But seeing Chief Tyrol banging Boomer doggy style will only bring in the raincoat crowd, not mainstream american families.

Mainstream Hollywood fare is so sanitized and asinine these days, and they need to punch it up a little. Having Jessica Alba play a stripper that keeps her clothes on in 'Sin City' (because even though the character strips off in the comic, Ms. Alba has a 'no nudity' clause, and she is a serious actress whose appeal stems only from her incredible Oscar-calibre acting ability ) is the perfect metaphor for this situation. If it was being made today, I tend to think a savvy studio exec would say 'top off or the role's going to someone else'. Ditto Jennifer Love Hewitt...couldn't 'open' a picture by herself, but if said film had her nude or topless in it, it would draw a ton of money. It's just a question of when Hollywood is going to knuckle down to the nitty gritty and start giving the audience what they want to see as opposed to what they think the audience wants to see.



I tend to agree seeing Jessica Alba topless would rule. But it is a long jump from topless(or bottomless) to getting a face full of Ron Jeremy's kids.

In order for porn(I don't count nudity as porn) to be mainstream, America would have to change it's culture drastically and I don't see that happening. According to birth records over the years this country will be more conservative, not less(Conservative are punching out more shorties).
