back in 95-97 the only porn worth watching was early JM/Jim Powers, Max Steiner/Hardcore’s post LBO stuff, John T. Bone pre-gang bang downfall & Gregory Dark’s contemptuous last gonzo au go-go. At the time, the term “gonzo” wasn’t being hurled around like it is now, but if you look back on it, this stuff was the birthing place of today’s extreme gonzo featuring psychosexual feats, powerfucking as fun and degredation as a thrill for spills that pay the bills. Jim Power’s Perverted Stories opened the door to surrelistic dementia first paved by Gregory Dark before his last gonzo au go-go. It’s almost hard to believe now that Max Hardcore porn was once exciting and erotic if you could handle his abusive style. No doubt John T. Bone’s Candy Apples years were the groundwork of the current fashion trends Skeeter has gifted porn with whilst realizing that Jules Jordan made fishnet asses an artform that became a norm. Buttman lost all respect through HIV, but he’s keen enough to see how Jules made girl worship gonzo. Speaking o’ Stag, early Rob Black used fresh Tricia Deverauix w/ skill in some of his best work. His Dark imitations utilized spitting before it was cool to overuse and flirted w/ choking now almost pc in extreme porn. If you don’t believe me, three pieces of evidence I’d present to the Pervert Court would be the following, but forgive me it’s been years since I’ve seen this stuff, potheads:
1. Sexual Atrocities where Candy Apples and a squid stole the show, but the scene w/ the guys fucking with fishbowls of goldfish floating around their heads ruled as well. Not to mention perhaps the best scene where Deveraux gets fucked by gargoyles interspersed in flickering mm-gloom. Or was that in Cellar Dweller?
2. War Whores is best summed up by the Black box cover note partially quoted here: “I told my surrogate father, Patrick Collins, that this film would push the envelope of normalcy” And better demonstrated by Rob Black smearing Tricia’s face in his cumload shot on a truck window.
3. A Week And a half in the Life Of A Prostitute was rife w/ rough sex and disturbing visual subtleties that serial killers might dream about. Well done exploitation porn, but grim.

What do I know anyway?

yep, fond memories there Jamie... Also, Sally Layd as a a hooker in boots & a few sinister frames of the door being pulled down on the rental garage are seared in my memory for some reason.... Plus, the Crayola Blue scene had some heavy hate fuck vibes not that I got off on that part b/c I didn't like the way they treated my girl Crayola. Hey, I once was a caring & sensitive smutmutant that oddly enough really liked Max Hardcore at the same time... almost a perfect paradox.

shit I'm glad I didn't recognize Tom Byron's leathery ballsack in that scene.
However, I think the scene in the other flick w/ Tricia and the gargoyles is perhaps Black's best piece of art, if I dare sully things by calling it that, though I think his best piece of porn has yet to cum....
