• Melusine / Peekarama (Vinegar Syndrome) on Bluray 5/28/2021 8:33:49 PM
  
  A reminder that SKIN FLICKS, MEMORIES WITHIN MISS AGGIE, and LET MY PUPPETS COME are going OOP. Once they're gone, they're gone forever.

  I would highly recommend this one. One of my favorite movies from last year.

  I would suggest putting a notice ahead of the trailer that includes vomiting... Speaking only for myself, it was a rather [unpleasant] surprise when I unwittingly selected it.

  FORBIDDEN LETTERS is the better of the two but both are well worth watching.

Curious, why do certain title only say x number left then? Sounds deceptive. So Dixie Ray after how many sales still lists at over 300. Yet the 5 film collection is sold out? To me that doesn't make sense. I am betting if the movies were split apart on bluray several of them would have been sold out too. Of course we only have theory vs the title like Dixie Ray not getting a chance right? Can't sell, if it isn't done at all. YET when it did get put out it is GONE. 2) Hardcore DVDs sell about as well as hardcore Blus. And plenty of people who buy 70s/80s hard...

  Amusing recent comments...And some responses: 1) None of the DVD only titles are limited editions, so they're not going to sell out at some point. 2) Hardcore DVDs sell about as well as hardcore Blus. And plenty of people who buy 70s/80s hardcore titles on disc still want DVDs (and not Blus, as strange as that might seem). My best guess is that many are 50+ and just don't have Blu-ray players. 3) As I've said before, if making Blus were the same price as DVDs (rather than 2-3x more expensive), we'd probably do more hardcore Blus.

  Since no one else has yet posted this here (shameful!), we have our two final hardcore releases of 2019 planned for December and they are: Roberta Findlay's JUSTINE and a double feature of Bob Chinn's HARD SOAP HARD SOAP and DISCO LADY. Just as important (perhaps more so?), our Black Friday sale starts this coming Friday (the 29th) and goes through Monday the 2nd. Just about every title in our catalog will be marked down to 50% off SRP. The site is currently offline as we prep it for Black Friday, but it'll be going back up around 12:01 AM EST on Friday the 29th.

  1. I am confused by the horror titles for outselling hardcore titles. Based on what? From what has been released, the horror titles have far out numbered the adult titles on bluray, but also what has been released I wouldn't call exactly sex based. Subjective...sure, but Her Name was Lisa, Corruption...Memories Within Miss Aggie?? Seriously? History based cult status..sure, but spank material really??? Yeah right. This is not a fair comparison at all. Actually, MEMORIES was one of the better selling hardcore Blus of 2018! On the other hand...more sex heavy titles like MARY MARY, TRASHY LADY, and TINSELTOWN haven't performed much better than the misery fueled ones. 2. I love dreary films too, but I love good sex more. Irrelevant? To who?...

  BlackSix wrote: Baby Rosemary is a remarkable horror porno by James Bryan also released by VS as part of their Peekarama series. Two infamous horror pornos are Hardgore from 74' and Sex Psycho by Walt Davis, the latter was released by VS under the alternate title Sex Widow with the cult classic Evil Come, Evil Go. Rosemary is by John Hayes. Bryan only made hardcore musicals and never dabbled in hardcore horror films, though we do sell his 1981 horror 'classic,' DON'T GO IN THE WOODS. We released Sex Psycho under its original/actual title WIDOW BLUE.

  I don't check this forum nearly as much as I used to, unfortunately, but it's always a welcome surprise to log on and see that I've missed an exciting back and forth argument. Anyway, a few (perhaps redundant) points of clarification: 1. We're releasing more horror because horror titles far outsell hardcore titles. Does that mean that EVERY horror title outsells EVERY hardcore title? Of course not. But then there's only three Pretty Peaches films, four (doable) Taboo films, two Candy films, a finite number of Hyapatia Lee starring vehicles, and one Sex World...If you get my drift. 2. The 2019 hardcore Blu-ray schedule is going to focus on films by good directors. Regarding the earlier comment on 'good sex' over 'dreary' films, I love dreary...

I haven't yet screened Ms. Magnificent, however, Vinegar Syndrome has stated the only editing is that which was required by the court judgment so if it was in the original I would expect it to be on the DVD. Vinegar Syndrome is really good about not releasing edited films. Thanks for reply. I did not notice any review of "...Lisa" which specified fisting as part of the "uncut". It seemed to me the drug use may be the only uncut now included. VS release of "Lust at first bite/Dracula Sucks" did not include the golden shower scene with Gillis and Serena AFAIK and uncut referred to hard and longer softer versions. As I stated elsewhere, we scanned the camera negative. ...

• Adult movies with a thicker plot 6/3/2018 9:20:37 AM
  
  For more contemporary stuff (i.e. post 2000), there are a decent number of Paul Thomas movies that have very well developed narratives, particularly: CRY WOLF SEX & VIOLINS HEART OF DARKNESS 8th SIN EMEPROR His re-imaginings of the below (obviously referenced) films are also all excellent and fairly densely plotted, sometimes more subtextually than literally. I'd say that I like them all more than their inspiration films, except for DEVIL. THE NEW BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR DEVIL IN MISS JONES THROAT: A CAUTIONARY TALE Nic Andrews is another contemporary director whose movies are well worth watching. His work mostly feels like mid to late 90s direct to video thrillers and skinemax movies than early 2000s porn. Though he made some all sex ventur...

  He was briefly business partners with Joe Gage and his wife (which is why GIRLS USA shares a soundtrack with HEATSTROKE). Next time I have a reason to chat with Gage, I'll ask him if he has any info on Davian's background.

• Using Explicit Sex as a story-telling technique 11/18/2017 12:23:51 PM
  
  A very key component is the extent to which the actors are directed to stay in character during the sex scenes. One of the issues I have with many modern features, even those driven by strong narratives and with otherwise well integrated sex scenes is that the characters will often cease being characters once the sex scenes begin. It's admittedly difficult to find sex films made during any era where there isn't at least one 'throaway' sex scene intended either to just eat up runtime or provide another requisite coupling. However, to answer your question, films like the already mentioned THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS are crucial in this regard. Damiano's MEMORIES WITHIN MISS AGGIE is another crucial example of a film whose sex scenes are all c...
