Rotten, Runaway, Tanks, And Tattoos

Gram Ponante — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 11:30:01 EST

Night vision didn't work in the Paris Hilton sex tape, and it doesn't work for Rob Rotten. But at least Rotten figured it out eventually and we, the consumer, can rest assured that "Rotten Home Videos" was made with love.

Rob Rotten is the kind of maverick whose roguery I heartily endorse now or in 2012. This casually-produced (read: ultra low budget) collection of trysts with hookers, porn drifters, and other intriguing types might not win any awards whatsoever, but it does underline the fact that Rotten has the type of friends who have sex with him if he pays them, and who like him enough to not upstage his tattoos.

Ruby Knox and Daisy Tanks are both Rotten standbys from previous movies, and these scenes appear to have been shot around the time these women were working with Rotten already. India Summer and Faye Runaway both have impressive tattoos of their own, and Rotten's interlude with the latter (now out of the porn business), with his ink explosion and her lace up work on both of her pale legs, looks just about artful.

Maybe that wasn't the intention (in fact, I'm sure of it), but we have to find something to enjoy in other people's home movies, don't we?

The Joys Of Ass Eating

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:00:00 EDT

It's unanimous: we love girls' asses...and so do Faye and Tatiana, judging by the enthusiasm with which they go after each other's. With that kind of gusto, it's no wonder they ended up in Asseaters Uanaimous.

(That is a support group for girls addicted to ass, right? Because a few more clips like this one, and we might need the number for the New York chapter...if you know what we're saying.)

Audrey Hollander Brings Home The Bacon

Gram Ponante — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 18:08:57 EDT

Way to put poor Faye Runaway on the defensive, Audrey Hollander: "Do you like taking cocks that belong to other people?" Hollander asks in "Otto And Audrey On the Prowl," a collection of vignettes featuring Audrey cruelly procuring innocents for her husband's delectation, in much the same way I employ carhops at Rally's. "Um. Yes?" Runaway replies, sealing her fate.

It looks like the ladies resolved their differences, though.

2007: Popshots of the Year!

Gram Ponante — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 15:00:39 EST

The Cavalcade of Boobage that is Fleshbot's beloved Popshots series has brought us nigh-on 200 turgidifying snapshots of What Porn Is this year. How do we choose the best ones? The answer: We don't! Instead, we choose the ones next to the best ones in our photo library, because we assume you've already got your personal best in your RSS reader and we didn't want to gyp you. Here, for example, are Micah Moore and Jack Lawrence engaging in some pillow talk.

See more snaps after the gap.

The delightful Page Morgan couldn't even get into the bar where the party for Vena Virago's "Eastside Story" was held. Why? Because she was only 19, the poor thing. She gamely posed on some motorcycles outside. When we attempted the same pose, we were beaten and horribly mutilated.

Karlie Montana, Ava Rose, and Tommy Gunn discuss their motivation for an upcoming scene. Strangely enough, those are the outfits they were wearing on the way in.

Kylie Ireland explains the finer points of applied dildology to Lorelei Lee and Princess Donna on the set of a Slutwerks movie.

We were just a little bit in love with this series of photos from the filming of "Barely Legal 75" this summer, as well we should have been. Here I ask the girls to channel their favorite emo artists.

Newly-minted Fleshbot Crush Object Jenny Hendrix on one of her phones wearing one of her extensions. Both the extensions and the phone were gone by the end of the year.

Finally, evil pixie Aiden Starr stopped by the offices of Fleshbot West recently and just stood there. That's all we really needed.

Thanks so much for a wonderful year, Fleshbot readers!

"Barely Legal 75" (And They Don't Look A Day Over 20!)

Gram Ponante — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 22:06:29 EDT

In that Jenny Hendrix admits in the behind the scenes featurette that she's 21, we wonder if Hustler flirted with the idea of calling this movie "Barely Drinking Age". But as we shall see, it is less important that this movie be fair and accurate than it is that the movie be. For "Barely Legal 75" comes chock fuil of everything that's good and everything that's ridiculous about porn. Read more after the gap.

Barely Legal 75

Studio: Hustler
Director: Erica McLean
Cast: Jenny Hendrix, Faye Runaway, Alexandra, McKenzee Miles, Alexis Love, Aurora,

Review by Gram Ponante

Let's say every fourth in a porn series, such as "Barely Legal" or (make up hilarious porn series title for inevitable studio audience whooping sitcom joke here) is brilliant. This would tend to devalue the intervening three and capsize the line. So it's probably good that "Barely Legal 75" is important just because it is rather than because it's great. More than any other series in porn, "Barely Legal" underlines the fact that all porn is good - just don't expect your brain to melt.

This 75th installment comes eight years after the late Clive McLean founded the series, and #75 was filmed by his widow, Erica, at their home in stark, scrubby, and altitudinous Sunland, CA. In addition to the video there is a bonus documentary about the series.

Perhaps symbolic of the movie's importance, the theme is a flashback. A group of girls get together around the pool to dish about their "first time". A plot bomb goes off almost immediately, as Jenny Hendrix talks about how her dad invites a local swain over to sunbathe nude at the family pool. "He's really hot," Hendrix extemporizes, adding, "and so's my dad."

Hendrix has explained that she walked down to the pool that day ready to go swimming, only to find her naked neighbor. Quickly she is undressed, stripping off her bikini top and bottom, though she is wearing panties underneath. If she was ready to go swimming, why is she wearing panties?

Even asking a question like this is so beside the point as to be meaningless. The point is that she becomes naked immediately. We shouldn't worry about how the dad should be jailed, or why the neighbor is sunbathing with an erection.

Next up is the bite-sized Alexis Love, who instead of relating her encounter with a greasemonkey, says "greasy monkey guy". Her partner looks positively ancient by comparison. Is this how we all look? (I am 22.)

The chipper, moon-faced and juicy Aurora is next, telling a tale of fucking "the help" at her parents' ranch. She has to be wearing Memphis Monroe's castoff clothing, including the Daisy Dukes. In fact, Aurora fully embodies the Daisy Duke spirit. In this thoughtful journalist's opinion, too many of the wrong people wear Daisy Dukes these days.

Regardless, an inexplicable tinny guitar soundtrack plays through this scene.

Hendrix is the ringleader, so she points to various of the girls around the pool for their stories. Until McKenzee Miles comes up, she has pointed to people and said, "You." I was on the set that day, and it is easy to remember why Hendrix knew some names but not others - because it's not as if everyone got together for a barbecue in the back field. Some people hung out in one building on the McLeans' property and others were around the pool or in another building. Again, does it matter that these women would never get together for a pool party in real life? No it does not.

McKenzee is supposed to be the wild one. She has a standard sex scene with Otto Bauer. While she is not wild, she appears just a little more substantive than Alexis Love, but not by much. We can use her ribs as a xylophone.

Like so many porn movies, the best material in "Barely Legal 75" is in the behind the scenes feature. Here McKenzee sits on a toilet while getting her hair done (it is an established fact that all the makeup and hair people in the porn industry should really be in front of the camera) and talks about how chocolate soy milk makes one's boobs grow, and how all one has to do to get to first base with her is to tell her she's pretty. It's a great interview, and it is revealing that the real people are more interesting than their characters.

In the next scene, tattooed imp Faye Runaway, the smallest of all the cast, is paired with the massive Lee Stone. Were Stone not such a gentleman, we would fear for Runaway's safety. My sister, my daughter.

Finally, Alexandra, the only Girls Only performer, leads the group in a lesbian orgy by the pool. Alexandra is tall and tasty, and it is a shame the girls have a monopoly on her.

A documentary disc accompanies this movie, which is well worth the purchase price, not only for the scenes, which are not surprising and therefore just as they should be, but also for the behind the scenes featurette, which is a great documentary on its own, all the women comfortable in the presence of Erica McLean.

The Barely Legal Yearbook bonus disc is a tribute to the late Clive McLean and his successors. I will cover that separately.
