An X-rated picture is worth a thousand words

Just as I am putting the finishing touches to my first feature-length porn screenplay, there is this:

The industry that has given us such celebrated works as All that Jizm, American Booty, and Asswoman in Wonderland, is "focusing even less on narrative arcs these days" according to a front-page story in today's New York Times.

The Internet, it seems, that scourge of so many other word-related adult activities, has also killed off the porno script.

The demands of technology and the seven to 13-minute attention span of the American dirty movie watching audience, apparently, have conspired to render plot and character development obsolete in the world of adult entertainment. 

I have to face it: Dirty Laundry, my moody, XXX-istential period piece about a bored housewife in post-partisan Midwestern America, has been hung out to dry. 

The months of my life devoted to careful study of the dialectal eccentricities of pizza boys, cable installers and scultped pool maintenance specialists have been for naught.

My timing is so, so bad.

I’m always the first to comment.

I’m not a user of porn. I don’t have interest in limiting assorted possible experiences by someone else’s bounded imagination to the repetitive. If you want imagination watch these three films back-to-back and then call me. 9 1/2 Weeks, Dangerous Beauty and Taming of the Shrew (Taylor/Burton).

I'd say your research was well worth it, even if you don't write a script.

You need star power in your film. How about Daniel Craig, " I'll cum back for you!". With Pussy Galore...been done.
cheers,
Bondage.... James Bondage

I don't know, it has a bit of a Schwarzenegger ring to it... But "James Bondage" has real potential.

maybe if you set the script in the white house?
