The Adams Report by J.C. Adams - November 28 - December 4, 2005

November 28, 2005 | Comments Off

This week, it is my unfortunate duty to report the passing of another valued member of the adult community. Bobby Gallagher, known to many as “Bob Bouchard,” suffered a fatal heart attack November 13th in New York. Mr. Gallagher’s career in erotica stretched back several decades but most filmmakers on the gay and straight sides knew him as the operator of Mid Valley Studios, a soundstage in North Hollywood where literally hundreds of films were lensed over the years. News of his death was announced to the industry by his friend Ron Jeremy.

Another busy week in GayPornLand as we update you on Blue Blake, Hot House sneaks a new movie, Adonis Pictures and Lucas Entertainment and MSR Videos go crazy with their press kits, we fill you in on that ’80s teen idol who became a porn star, and more studios make more gay skin flicks available on the Video iPod and via podcasting. I’d welcome you to the future but it’s already here.

BITS AND BOBS
Soon after director Blue Blake retired last spring, his popular website went offline. Folks have been relentlessly emailing ever since, wondering what happened. I never had anything to report. Well, all of you can head on over to BlueBlake.com right now for an update…

Greetings this week from New York City. The hardworking “Adams Report by J.C. Adams” staffers decamped to the Big Apple to attend a VIP bash for none other than director Jerry Douglas, simultaneously celebrating his 70th birthday and 26 years of matrimonial bliss with his significant other. The party was attended by a large pile of GayPornLand’s best and brightest, as well as friends and loved ones from Mr. Douglas’ life stretching wa-aa-ay back (ha-ha…). In fact, I spent an enjoyable hour chatting with the lovely woman who was Jerry Douglas’ best friend in first grade! (Props to Helen!) But first a bit of business involving performers Ethan Marc and Kris Anthony, agent Dak King and JasonCurious.com host Jason Sechrest.

It was a roller-coaster week in GayPornLand. First came the distressing news that we lost another of our esteemed members, Falcon president Terry Mahaffey, to cancer. The next day, industry legend Jack Fritscher announced that his 23-year-old Palm Drive Video has closed down. And then performer/director Sean Storm sent word that although he survived Hurricane Wilma, his Ft. Lauderdale apartment complex was partially destroyed (the roof was torn off!). On a much brighter note, the party in West Hollywood to celebrate the release of the porn-themed “Warning!” photo book was packed to the rafters. I think we all needed to blow off some steam.
