MIDWEEK INDUSTRY UPDATES - Wednesday, March 29, 2006

March 29, 2006 | Comments Off

LAMBERT STEPS BEHIND CAMERA
Longtime reviewer Vincent Lambert recently put down his pen and stepped behind the camera to direct his first XXX scene — and he was inspired to do so by, ahem, me (blush). He helmed a scene for the forthcoming ENCOUNTERS 2 for Lucas Entertainment.

“I guess it is just a natural progression of what I have done and what I am interested in doing,” Mr. Lambert told me. “After watching and reviewing so many movies, I have a definite perspective on what I like and don’t like.” He chose Lucas Entertainment for his directing debut after viewing the company’s “top-notch work. [And] porn journalists like J.C. Adams inspired me and made me think that I could direct, too!” ENCOUNTERS 2 will be released April 15th; the first ENCOUNTERS featured a scene directed by dragstress RuPaul.

The Adams Report by J.C. Adams - Sunday, March 26, 2006

March 26, 2006 | Comments Off

It’s been almost two weeks since the rowdiest GAYVN Awards in years and the fallout is still settling over Michael Lucas‘ incendiary comments from the podium which prompted booing, hissing and thrown ice from JD Slater at the Raging Stallion Studios table. Even though various industry bigwigs (Messrs. Lucas and Slater as well as Chi Chi LaRue and Chris Ward) have been kissing and making up — Mr. Slater apologized to Mr. Lucas, who apologized to Ms. LaRue, etc. — there are still some ruffled feathers and hurt feelings that should be soothed before anyone gets in the same room together where alcohol (and ice) is being served.

The 8th Annual GAYVN Awards unspooled Thursday, March 9th at Rage nightclub in West Hollywood. To say it was a rowdy zoo would be an understatement. Did someone spike the punch? Hundreds of gay porn’s hoi polloi were in attendance to witness a night of surprise upsets including the final award when DANGEROUS LIAISONS (Lucas Entertainment) and WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS 1-2 (Rascal Video) tied for Best Picture. The crowd (well-lubricated after two hours of boozing and schmoozing) gasped as one when presenter Dean Phoenix announced the stunning tie. Moments later, bedlam nearly broke loose when LIAISONS producer/director Michael Lucas took the stage and had ice thrown at him by an irate audience member. “Fuck you to everyone who didn’t vote for me!” he declared from the podium to equal parts applause and boos.

The Adams Report by J.C. Adams - Monday, March 06, 2006

March 6, 2006 | Comments Off

As we head into awards week here in GayPornLand, the latest edition of “The Adams Report by J.C. Adams” has Best Actor-GAYVN Awards analysis, tidbits on Tony Cage’s dalliance (of sorts) with Tyra Banks; Sam Dixon’s unique offer to the seven paratroopers facing courts-martial for wanking online; and news on the sad passing of performer Devon Barry.

GAYVN BEST ACTORS
Here’s a quick look at the GAYVN nominees for Best Actor. It’s next-to-impossible to figure out potential winners because the GAYVN judges are not as easy to read as Oscar or Emmy voters. There aren’t exactly established voting patterns to follow. So this is mainly educated guessing from someone who has been around the block. GayvnAwards.com is the official website.

Things have quieted down a bit in advance of the GAYVN Awards on March 9th. Oh, sure, we’ve got the usual online bitchery and ego wars that result in numerous spammed “private” messages that have been blind-copied to everyone and their Aunt Petunia. And a group of seven unfortunate soldiers from the famed 82nd Airborne are facing courts martial for having sex on what is believed to be ActiveDuty.com. What a great use of our tax dollars given the recruitment shortfall faced by our all-volunteer army, eh? So this week, sit back, grab hold of your wiener and thrill to the hot details on the latest flicks from Alpha Male, AMG, Falcon, Lucas, Raging Stallion and South American Pictures. Oh, and I work myself into a frenzy comparing COLT’s Chris Wide to vintage Ken Ryker…
