This Week’s Finishers: 11/15 - 11/21

There were a lot of finishers this week. Twenty four, to be exact. I also tried out a new format this week. Let me know if you like it!


Fresh Faces #6, Scene 1 starring Gwen

I guess Gwen didn’t want cum in her hair (she held it back). Or in her eyes (squeezed shut). Or on her face (moved out of the line of fire).
Hand To Hand Combat, Scene 10 starring
Brianna Love

Brianna Love is really cute. But some of the faces she’s making here are not. Getting this guy to cum seems like squeezing water from a stone. This is a great movie in which every girl finishes, but this is not my favorite scene.
Hand To Hand Combat, Scene 9 starring
Crista Moore and Shawna Lenee

Christa bobs Shawna’s head on the cock for a while, but when he starts coming, they seem slightly surprised and and up licking it off their fingers.

Holly Randall: Where Did the Real Pornstars Go?


Holly Randall is a great photographer who’s worked in porn for about 10 years (oh, and she’s the daughter of legendary photographer Suze Randall).

During her time in the business, she’s seen the changes the industry has undergone and has an interesting perspective on how the girls have changed over the years that she wrote about in her XBiz column a couple weeks ago.

What happened to the few, the proud, the real pornstars? Back in the Golden Age of the adult industry, the performers were mostly a small community of women who truly loved sex and enjoyed showing their passion for it on camera. They were often older than the typical just-turned-18 fresh meat that I see so frequently these days, and lasted much longer.



She goes on to talk about how gonzo has basically become a competition in which the girls are expected to do ever-more extreme circus acts for their money.

I think this resonated with me because I’ve met these hollow-eyed girls who don’t even try to hide the fact that they’re just there to get paid and have no sexual passion whatsoever. It’s not hot and I think it’s one of the main reasons that I find 85% of porn completely boring and unsexy.

What do you guys think? Is porn really in a race to the bottom or are people just overreacting to the natural evolution of the industry?

New Content Dilemma

H2 Video
I have been considering adding H2 Video to our catalog. Surprisingly, this has led to a little debate in-house about it’s likely reception by our members.

So I wanted you to play my role for a minute. You need to remove yourself from your own personal interest and look at these previews from my perspective. The question I ask myself is, “on the whole will the community of users on VideoBox enjoy these titles?”

The production is generally the first thing I look at. This stuff is pretty well-lit and the camera work is good. There are some different girls than the normal Valley talent and the action doesn’t look so canned that it’s predictable. An extra plus is the light fetish for some of the users on the site that like that. What do you guys think?

Should We Get H2 Video?

DVSX Preview: Sakura Tales #10

Tia TanakaI am excited today to present my first preview of a DVSX movie. My two previous preview posts were for Combat Zone titles that I already owned. For this article, VideoBox was kind enough to give me a sneak peek at a DVD which will be uploaded to the site within the next few days. The first DVSX title was added to the site six weeks ago and we’ve received two dozen updates from the studio thus far. I’ve been extremely impressed with the DVSX offerings. Let’s see what this release has in store for us.

She’s gracing the cover of First Date from the site’s hot new studio - DVSX. Surrounding Sativa on the cover are Kat, Jessica Sweet, and Brodi(e). We note there are six scenes on the DVD as Trista Post and Trinity Post are also on board. You immediately say to yourself, let me get at that Sativa scene. However, there is a problem.

The Most Downloaded Scene Last Week

I’m always interested to see (in aggregate) what our members are downloading. It gives me a pretty good idea of what people like and what sorts of things we should be looking for more of. I thought that maybe you’d be interested in seeing that information too.

Last week, the most downloaded scene on the website was School Girls Love Cum Too!, Scene 4 starring Cody Lane. In fact, it’s the top Cody Lane scene on the site, after My Dirty Angels #3, Scene 5.

If this sort of thing really interests you, check out the top 10 downloaded scenes last week after the jump.

Ropeadope’s Preview: Plucked Then Fucked

In late January, I had the pleasure of previewing Cumaholics for the blog. Cumaholics was the second movie that Melissa Lauren directed for Combat Zone. Her first directorial effort for the studio was Plucked Then Fucked, which we’ll be looking at today. For Cumaholics, Melissa assembled a veteran all-star cast. The cast of Plucked Then Fucked were mostly newcomers at the time of filming. Cumaholics proved to be a very popular addition to VideoBox. Let’s see if we can expect the same from Plucked Then Fucked.

I’ve included screencap collages to help us visualize the action. Alison has been kind enough to embed thumbnail images within the body of this preview. Please click on the thumbnails to enlarge to original image size. Of course, my thanks to Alison and the blog team for the opportunity to present this preview.

We all know that Ropeadope is a big fan of the studio Combat Zone, but he’s gone the extra mile this time and put together a video slideshow preview of the upcoming movie Brown Eyed Girl starring Isabella Summers, Misti Love, Renae Cruz, Savana Lane, and Veronique Vega.

To get Rope’s masterpiece in all it’s glory, you can use this link to download it from rapidshare.

It’ll be going up on the site this weekend, so keep your eyes peeled!

New Studio Announcement: DVSX!

You may have noticed last week’s posting spree stopped pretty abruptly. I apologize for that. I unexpectedly had to make a trip back east and didn’t have much time for blogging. Thankfully, everyone else was still here working hard while I was gone. Especially Content Dude, who just signed an exclusive deal to get DVSX videos on VideoBox!

Check out the trailers for a couple of the movies we’ll be posting in a couple weeks:

Fine Ass Bitches 4

I’m pretty excited about this deal. DVSX has solid content with a lot of really great girls. What do you guys think?

Confessions of a VideoBox Content Buyer

Who’s That Girl?
There’s a bit of mystery, I think, surrounding how we get content for VideoBox. There are many theories, I’m sure, but I think it’s time to set the record straight on a few things. In order to crack open the process a bit to the people it matters to, I asked our content buyer a few questions that will hopefully shed a little light on the topic.

Ropeadope’s Combat Zone Preview: Cumaholics

Cumaholics Cover
In mid December, VideoBox started adding titles from the studio Combat Zone. Membership reaction has been overwhelmingly positive and Combat Zone has quickly climbed toward the top of the site’s most desired studio list. My reaction has been more reserved, because I already own all of them. However, this does allow me to present a preview of some upcoming Combat Zone DVD’s.

The first movie we’ll look at is Cumaholics, directed by veteran adult performer Melissa Lauren. She’s assembled an all-star cast for this video and the action promises to be interesting. I’ve written a scene-by-scene synopsis and provided a few pictures to help us visualize the proceedings. See the glossary at the very bottom for those troublesome abbreviations.

The Elusive Oral Creampie

Cream Pie
oral cream pie (n): a pop shot that occurs inside the closed mouth of a porn star

Often searched for, but seldom found, the oral cream pie is a fan favorite that directors seem to be totally oblivious to. Read on for some scenes where you can find this mythical act.

So You Want to See Some Fisting?

Candy Stripers
As many of you have already learned, Candy Stripers #1 is completely screwed up. Our encoding manager is going to redo the files, but in the meantime, if you’d like to see the famous fisting scenes, they’re only available in flash. In fact, they’re the only part of the movie available in flash.

Most DVD copies of this film had the fisting scenes edited out (for reasons I’ll explain later in this post). Some, however, included them as hidden features. We encode Windows Media and flash files separately, which can sometimes lead to differences in the files, but never to this degree. What we’re guessing happened is that our encoding machines were confused by the hidden scene and had completely opposite reactions: one (wmv) didn’t encode the hidden scene at all and the other (flash) only encoded the hidden scene.

We will try to re-encode the movie, but because of the holidays, it might take a few weeks to complete. I will, of course, post an announcement when the new files are uploaded.

Because several members expressed concern about the legal status of fisting porn in the US, I’ve included a short explanation after the jump.

New Studio Announcement: Combat Zone!

Combat Zone Logo
As loyal blog readers, you get to be the first to know that we recently (today!) inked a deal to bring the studio Combat Zone to VideoBox. If you haven’t seen their stuff, it’s really excellent. Especially the girls - Amy Ried, Sasha Grey, Bree Olsen and Micah Moore, just to name a few.

As you can probably tell, I’m really excited about this deal. Their movies should start hitting the site in a few weeks (if you want a heads up, I can post it in the blog the day before), so keep an eye out for them. And let me know what you think!
