Dion, I agree with what you say. Great minds think alike. Dion they are not "basic"...more like amateurs. But you have to hand it to Anabolic, saving money is better than putting out great videos.

He made the Evil Empire what it is by giving an unprecedented ownership deal to a small group of directors who were either already among the best at the time (Leslie, Dark) or soon would be (Joey, of course). He also gave the directors working with him something few other company owners are "smart" enough to give -- respect for them, and for what they do. Instead of claiming it's all "the brand name" (McDonald's is top of the heap in brand-names, too ...). And uh, it seems to have worked out pretty well for Mr. Stag, there ...

I do understand that Anabolic does give their director a dollar per video if it get sold to a certain high quota number. But if what you say is true and Anabolic is a great place to shoot and the budgets are high, why did they pass up on proven directors (when they were free agents before their current new deals) like Jonni Darkko, Justin Slayer, Mr Pete, Van Styles, Skeeter Kerkove, etc.? INSTEAD they gave it to newbies or retreads who would be grateful to make $2,000-3,000 bucks a month. Plus they signed cont...

Those shiny new cars are all owned by Chris and Greg. Ask Chico what kind of car he drives :) It sure aint shiny, new or even luxury.

  [/quote] You mean those stooges are working for 5 bucks an hour? Chris Alexander is sharper than I thought! [/quote] Maybe even less than $5 :) You dont know how many people want to work in porn or even do it for free. Chris is the smartest man I know.

  THE TRUTH ABOUT ANABOLIC: I am getting sick and tired of people asking why Lex, Everhard, Mike John, etc left Anabolic. Here is the answer to your questions: $$$ MONEY. Anabolic has cut their budgets really low plus no ownership rights. If you were Mike John would you work for minimum wage? They found a couple of newbies and friends to shoot for them for minimum wage. They believe their Anabolic logo will sell the same amount regardless of who the director is. They believe their Anabolic logo will sell the same amount regardless of what the content is. Leave them alone. If you dont like it, buy something else.
