Granted, there are some REALLY bad reviews around the net. Working at a place like AVN would really merit one thing and that’s to be able to SAY you worked for them (from a professional standpoint). I would say, then, that the best was to correct that would be to review DVDs/scenes on your own. They would probably be a lot more honest in the long run but not very profitable. That’s really the double edged sword. Yes you can give a DVD a crappy review but at the end of the day, it’s the studios that are adding to the bank account.

Why look forward to a review, when you have THE MOVIE ITSELF…

At the end of the day, the reviews — while nice — are a whole lot of wasted output for something so essentially silly and trite as pornography. Especially, if one isn’t going to factor in how clearly some porn is better than others. Or more to the point, you be a fool to spend more than ten minutes and about 500 words describing ANYTHING morons like Chico Wang, Seymore Butts, Max Hardcore, Justice Young et cetera much less competent directors such as Buttman, John Leslie, Jules Jordan or IVAN produced and directed.

As for the side note, one might rather have a hole installed in their head, than work for AVN. The endless politicking, infighting, shit pay and all the rest, isn’t worth having to then slog through hundreds of shitty porn movies in a year — only to be forced to give most of the slop four to five stars (when you know damn well it barely merits one) simply because the people who make the crap spend tons of money advertising it in the publication you’ve sold your soul to just to look at naked idiots fuck on camera for a meager paycheck.

sglick: I will say that you’ve made some good points there. Yes, I do believe there is a huge difference between directors, lighting quality, and such. I would say that you could make an argument that any movie reviewed here could be seen as a “hidden gem” because not every DVD uploaded is even reviewed (and no, I don’t count the ‘Comment’ option as a review). But if we take your logic, which I’m not disagreeing with, a little bit further then we’d have to ask: Should there even be ANY reviews on here, since only 2 items matter. I would still say yes only because it gives you something to look forward to.
Oh, as a side note: I think ANYONE here would want to work for AVN. Dream job for just about anybody

ScrapperOne — this is pornography, thusly there’s little need to have much if any ‘reasoning’ behind reviewing a pornographic film beyond 1) does it have hot girls 2) is it have good lighting so I can clearly see the ‘hot girls’ doing all manner of sexual acts 3) see one and two.

On the same token, it is idiotic to score each porn movie reviewed so highly as if most every single effort by a hack like Chico Wang is comparable to Jules Jordan on a bad day. While I don’t have a problem with the site reviewing old movies, to treat them as they’re ‘hidden gems’ or ‘classics’ misses the point behind their original creation. Reading these reviews, you’d think the writer is trying to get a job at AVN.

sglick: Rating systems are always difficult to gauge. It does help to have a reasoning on why a full point or half point is given and why points are not awarded. It also helps, however, to give a different approach or another way to go about it. I think you also need to keep in mind that all DVDs on here are not first run deals. Any DVD site that you go to will be like that. If you want first run/original content, try out VideoBox’s affiliates located on the Specials tab. Cost you a little more…or you can just enjoy what you have for the price.

Rope: Yeah, it sucked not having internet. Between the porn missed (since caught up) and the sports scores, I was probably losing more hair then I already have! Stupid trees and their falling down onto lines…

Surprise…yet another batch of scenes that are rated 4.5.

Maybe it’s time for a new scoring system, a more critical reviewer, or some combination of the two…

Well, at least this fuck flick isn’t over two years old and populated with girls who are long gone, one fuck wonders with bad tit jobs, or on their fifth attempt to quit meth.

@ Ken – No, it’s not just you. I find background music annoying as well. However, it’s all relative. Of the videos I’ve reviewed recently, I haven’t found any where the music ruined the scene. But I would certainly prefer if it weren’t there in the first place.

@ trinioutlaw – Thank you. I looked up I Wanna Get Face Fucked #1, and see it’s from Anabolic. AFAIK, we do not currently have an agreement with Anabolic. But I’m pretty sure The Content Dude will try to bring them aboard, if it is possible. Evidently there is a difference in the ownership of Anabolic and Diabolic, however, I’m not intimately familiar with the details. This particular video looks very rough, based on the reviews I found. Not my personal cup of tea, although that won’t have any bearing on whether or not we obtain the title. And if it does eventually make its way to the site, I’ll have to view the Nautica Thorn scene just out of curiosity.

Is it just me or the background sound effect/music is distracting? I know that you can turn the volume down, but it is nice to hear the girl moan and groan.

@ HotScooter2 – Hahaha, I’ll have to find more of her scenes if she puts Eva, Jenna, and Amy to shame.

@ mircalla – More proof of different strokes for different folks. If I saw Jenna and Eva listed in the cast, and found only a girl – girl scene between them, I’d be hugely disappointed. However, as long as they each did an additional boy – girl scene, I wouldn’t mind.

@ garbman – My diagnosis is porn burnout. Has affected me on several occasions. How many months left on your subscription? My recommendation is to take 30 – 60 days before your next log-in. Don’t even visit the site, check for updates, etc. Clear your mind completely. Then come back. For what it’s worth, I’m extremely happy with the current batch of updates.

This is the first chance I’ve had to respond to you since our 50,000 scene contest. I wanted to say well done for your prediction of 7/3, which turned out to be only two days beyond the winning date. Good job my friend.
