It's Just "Content"—But It's Really Hot

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:00:00 EDT

Eon McKai has said that his latest feature "Content" is altporn's answer to the recession. We'd offer, additionally, that it's Eon McKai's answer to gonzo porn.

"It's just content," we (and the performers) are repeatedly told. Translation: this is just stripped down sex. There's no plot, there's no "meaning," there are no grand conceits (well, aside from the general conceit of this being a stripped down, bare bones, sex-only release, which is certainly played up knowingly). Granted, this is not just another gonzo release: Eon's signature style is ever present. Even when it's just "content," it's style Eon's content.

So how does Eon's work fair when it's nothing but content? Quite well, actually. Eon elicits stellar performances from each and every cast member: from the almost-possessed Kimberly Kane, who shot "Content" after a month of no sex; to the playfully rough Madison Young and Dane Cross; to the top-notch final scene featuring Kitty "Meow" McMuffin and Sherwood getting rough and nasty with each other.

The sex in this release tends towards the rougher end of the spectrum: spanking and slapping abound, and there's a bit of namecalling and cockchoking thrown into the mix (the violence is not solely directed towards the female cast members, however: some of you will no doubt be pleased to learn that Madison Young gives Dane Cross's face a nice, hard slap). But unlike some releases, where this kind of affectation seems put on, a bit of a performance, most everything we see in "Content" feels extremely real.

There are a few moments throughout the film—particularly in the scene between Kimberly Kane and Mr. Pete—where it almost seems as though the performers have forgotten the camera. In those moments, where it feels like the performers are fucking more for themselves than for us, there's a true bit of porn greatness. It may be just "content"—but it's achieved a level of intimacy most porn only dreams of.

Stills From The Set Of Eon McKai's "Content"

You've seen the trailer for the hardcore masterpiece allegedly containing Kimberly Kane's best anal scene ever, now see photos from the set. Don't worry, that lightheadedness you're feeling is normal. A double dose of altporn should fix you right up.

Kimberly Kane's Best Anal Scene Ever?

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:00:00 EDT

At long last, Eon McKai's "Content" is finally available for all us pervs to get our dirty little hands on. But wait, there's more: Fleshbot Crush Object Kimberly Kane is claiming it contains her best anal scene ever.

As Kimberly sees it, it was a relatively simple formula: "Content" was shot after she hadn't had sex for a month, and was—naturally—extremely horny...and paired her with her favorite male performer of all time (lucky devil Mr. Pete)...and, well, magic (and amazing chemistry) just ensued.

Although... best ever is still a pretty big claim. We might have to arrange for a comparison of each and every anal scene she's ever shot...you know, just to be really, really sure. (For science!)

Postcards From Vegas: A Word Of Caution From Sasha Grey

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:30:01 EST

Standing by the Vivid Video booth, we couldn't help but notice the poster for "Throat: A Cautionary Tale." Nor could we help but wonder what, exactly, the cautionary lesson one learns from "Throat" could be.

Being prone to just cutting to the chase, we decided to go to the source and just ask Sasha Grey herself.

So what's the lesson learned from cautionary tale?

"Uh, don't be a dumb girl who gets abused by men."

A wise lesson indeed.

Sneak Peek Exclusive: Eon McKai's "On My Dirty Knees"

DCypher — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 13:30:10 EST

It's not every day that celebrated alt inventor Eon McKai releases a new vehicle for his pornographic expression—and it's not everyone who gets a sneak peek at his upcoming releases, either. That's why we consider ourselves true insiders for being the first in the industry (or the world, for that matter) to be offered the privilege of screening the new trailer for his latest altporn epic, "On My Dirty Knees." Amazing, we know, but it's all in a day's work for a Fleshbot contributor. Happy Tuesday 'bating, and season's beatings from McKai & Co!

Dave Naz Takes Us Down To "Sugar Town"

DCypher — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:00:00 EST

Call us crazy, but we’re pretty sure that when sultry sexpot Nancy Sinatra released her feel good pop hit back in 1967, she wasn’t thinking of the same city Dave Naz describes in his latest offering. For starters, Nancy swears it never rains in Sugar Town—and yet Dave predicts steamy precipitation in his fair city, with a 100 percent chance of fat loads raining down on scintillating young divas. Could this be an early indicator of global warming?

To be totally honest, we’re not really sure what the erotic artist extraordinaire is trying to say with his new Vivid Alt release. On the surface it seems like yet another flashback to a forgotten era (this time deep in the funky 70’s), with Mr. Marcus and friends reliving some serious blaxploitation antics, "Charlie’s Angels" style, once more asking the same question Olivia Newton John posed to her generation; would a little more love make it right? Judging from the looks on the faces of starlets Tori Black, Ashley Blue, Britney Stevens, Veronica Hart, Jada Fire, and Whitney Stevens, the answer is a definitive "YES!" Those extra black inches seem to hit the spot just right, as our brave girls proudly crank out one ear splitting orgasm after another, making the accompanying bells and whistles (or in this case afro picks, Mercury land-yachts, and butterfly collars) nothing more than pleasant accoutrement.

One thing is for sure, however-–spend some time with this gallery, and we guarantee that your troubles will be a thing of the past. That’s one score on which both Nancy and Naz can most certainly agree.

"Sugar Town" is out now from Vivid Alt.

Mandy Morbid Faces Her Inner Demons In "Hospital"

DCypher — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 17:20:55 EDT

It’s hard not to think of any porn movie that bills itself as “dark, squalid, and ominous” as missing another adjective: pretentious. But even after struggling our way through the copy that adorns the (rather gorgeous) box cover of "Hospital" along with assorted surgical implements and bloody smears, the only word that describes how director Benny Profane’s new Vivid Alt release makes us feel is excited. Then again, Mandy Morbid always makes us feel that way anyway.

The plot, such as it is, involves Our Mandy being punished for past misdeeds she cannot recall by an evil (and diabolically horny) hospital staff. It seems that Mandy and her con artist boyfriend (played by Fleshbot superhero and Mandy's real-life beau Zak Sabbath) did some Bad Things which earned Mandy a semi-private room in the hospital of the title, where her doctor tells her she's to undergo treatment for being a "drug addict and a sexual deviant". Not one to let other people decide what's best for her or her body, Mandy jams a pencil into his skull: "No one fucks with me! I just want to go home!" She is then rescued by her boyfriend and the two celebrate her homecoming with a hot threeway with Coco Velvett. And that's pretty much it. End credits.

So we have to say that "Hospital" wasn't nearly as dark and ominous as the box cover led us to expect. But here's the good part: it isn't pretentious either. To its credit, the movie doesn't take itself seriously at all: everyone seems to be having an absolute hoot playing doctor and/or nurse—especially the delightful Caroline Pierce, who has a grand old time in a supply room with fellow bad nurse Sochee Mala and a strapon while Mandy watches confusedly (and turned on-edly) from a shower stall. (And we can't even begin to describe how we feel about hot newcomer Marie McCray, so we won't even try. Let's just say hot and dizzy are the least of our symptoms.)

It's the kind of hospital we certainly wouldn't mind checking in to for a while, so long as we weren't just tied to the bed or had a hole drilled into our skulls or anything. Too bad we're pretty sure our insurance wouldn't cover our stay.

The "Hospital" DVD includes extras like a making-of documentary and a bonus featurette, "Mandy Morbid's Trepanation Video". No, we have not watched it yet.

"Hospital" hits the shelves this week.

Dave Naz' "Circa '82": Bring Your Own Pop Rocks

DCypher — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 19:30:52 EDT

Superstar erotic photographer turned porn director Dave Naz has released his latest opus for Vivid Alt: it's called "Circa '82" and it focuses on the generation of disenchanted young adults who rejected both the hippy values of the counterculture that failed their parents and the rampant materialism of the Reagan years while embracing and angry punk rock music and hot experimental sex instead. Filled with period costumes and set decor, we're sure it reflects precisely the way things were back then ... only since we're too young to remember those years firsthand (don't forget, all of us here at Fleshbot are barely legal ourselves) we can't really be sure.

Matters of verisimilitude aside, it's still beyond entertaining to see the cast reenact those heady years of social malaise and heavy eyeliner: Sasha Gray fits right into 1982 with her radical pre-Brazilian era bush, while Fleshbot faves Madison Young, Ashley Blue (who helped write the screenplay), Lexi Belle, and newcomer Maya Hills turn in stellar performances as well, all to a soundtrack featuring punk rock legends Keith Morris, Don Bolles, and Jim Lane from Circle Jerks along with 45 Grave, Germs, and Killroy. We'll be posting an in-depth review of this thought-provoking sex-packed time capsule as soon as we manage to watch the whole thing without getting ... uh, caught up in the nostalgia; talk a walk down memory lane with our exclusive preview gallery below in the meantime.

Kimberly Kane's "Morphine" Party: White Trash And Black Eyes Add Up To Altporn Paradise

DCypher — Fri, 23 May 2008 08:05:38 EDT

Fleshbot Crush Object turned director extraordinaire (though she's still remained a crush object) Kimberly Kane and altporn majordomo Eon McKai threw a party this week at South Hollywood's Beauty Bar for the release of Kane's latest grungy orgy of opulent dissidence for Vivid Alt, "Morphine". The festivities included an onsite makeup artist who dispensed colorfully bloody black eyes to guests who later participated in the first ever (that we know of) Black Eye Beauty Pageant, gloriously emceed by Kane who declared it a testament to how delightfully white trash her new release is. Seriously, how can you not love this girl?

Altporn princess and noted tentacle canoodler Mandy Morbid took home the tiara amidst applause from the crowd, outshining such luminaries as art star (and boyfriend!) Zak Smith and fellow Fleshbot fantasy gal April Flores. Needless to say, we wish you were there .... and thanks to a couple of photos we managed to shoot in between jostling all the other photographers who were trying to get close to Kane & company over the course of the evening, you totally are!

Usually when we get our paws on a new porn DVD here at Fleshbot Central we don't do much by way of preparation when it comes time to review it aside from making sure the fast forward button is in working order on our remote and that we have a supply of Handi Wipes at the ready just in case we ... uh, spill our caipirinhas while we're watching it. But when the delightful Kimberly Kane sent us a copy of her new Vivid Alt joint "Morphine" this week, it arrived with a suggestion that we check out this video clip first to better understand her reasons for making it. And now that we've heard Kimberly tell us all about her days working in a strip mall strip club-cum-quickie bordello ... well, we're more intrigued about "Morphine" than ever. (We also can't wait to see more of her flashing her panties at us. Pour yourself a caipirinha and join us after the jump so we can watch that clip together, won't you?)

The Revolution Will Be Capitalized: "The Doll Underground" Release Party

DCypher — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:31:07 EDT

Plucky emo upstart-turned-media magnate Eon McKai regaled a small but dedicated gathering of erotic counterculture types and fellow oligarchs on a chilly spring evening in opulent Highland Park last night at a party celebrating the release of his foray into post-Marxist pornography, "The Doll Underground". You could have been there too, but you probably weren't; see what you missed after the jump.

. . .

Despite the exhortations to "rise up" contained in the title being feted, those present at "The Doll Underground" release party seemed to openly mock the very suggestion of class warfare and sexual redistribution of capital as they nibbled on truffled foie gras and quaffed liberally from Waterford crystal flacons of 1995 Chateau Margaux. After showing up to the party in his custom Hummer stretch limousine, McKai exerted a Svengali-like hold on starlets Lexi Belle and Reagan Maddux throughout the evening, never allowing reporters to approach them directly and openly dictating their responses to them instead.

Also spotted at the gala were such prominent members of Old Los Angeles society as Ed Fox, Dave Naz, Ashley Blue, Zack Sabbath, Mandy Morbid, Kimberly Kane, Carlos Batts, and April Flores, all of whom listened in rapt attention as McKai described the splendor of his new palatial estate in Cap d'Antibes while feeding mouthfuls of gold leaf-encrusted cake to three or four waifish models inked from head to toe in "rebellious" tattoos and splayed at his feet. Later, after a shower of $1000 bills descended from the ceiling of the Little Cave upon the heads of the delighted guests, a Vivid Alt-branded personal helicopter spirited him away from the festivities. What will he think of next?

Rise Up: Eon McKai's "The Doll Underground"

Jonnobot — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:51:18 EDT

When we say that you might forget that you're watching a dirty movie during the first several minutes of Eon McKai's new hallucinatory agitporn masterpiece "The Doll Underground" — all recycled stock footage and fuzzy credits and screeching filmstrip soundtrack — that's meant as a compliment; McKai has never made porn movies that look like anyone else's, and while there's something to be said for the straight-up smut style of your typical gonzo production, that's probably not why you watch one of his films in the first place. So even if "The Doll Underground" isn't likely to win over any existing alt-haters to his camp, we think it's the best example yet of why McKai remains one of the most singular and distinctive artists working in the adult industry today.

Early reports about the movie, which has been over a year in the making, described it as a story about tutu-clad suburban Gothic hotties being recruited for some sort of anti-capitalist terrorist cell. That's true enough, we guess, though the finished project is a lot more disjointed and impressionistic than that: if "The Doll Underground" is "about" anything, it's that sex is as much about power as it is about pleasure, maybe even more so. From our eminent colleague Violet Blue's five-star review:

Pulsing with energy, eerie visuals, clever pacing and deliberate editing, the film is a haiku telling the story of five young women tired of being controlled by society ("buy nothing" is repeated as a mantra) who emulate a mashup of the Weather Underground and Patty Hearst's SLA ideals. They band together in the Belmont Tunnel in Los Angeles under the direction of uber-sexy goth Lorna Adorn (Pixie Pearl), create and distribute anti-capitalist and anti-conformity propaganda (podcasts and screenprint pasteup art), build bombs and make things go boom ... Visually and throughout the delivery of the minimalistic story arc, it plays like a long, gorgeous, lush yet also somehow dark, saturated but bleak music video.
(... ) I wonder, did The Doll Underground *actually* come from porn valley? There are no blondes, no long fingernails, no fake breasts, no skinny girls, no big boobs, no fake female orgasms. The soundtrack never interrupts the sex; the sounds of sex are the focus. The women's bodies look like regular *hot* girls; the have ass, thigh, meat on those bones that make you want to cuddle and fuck and snuggle. Half the cast, at most, is tattooed; many are pierced, and two of the men are uncut. There are no unsafe or scary sex acts; no anal, no "gapes" and thankfuckinggawd no ATMs. The negative? People still wear white belts.

But let's talk about the sex; the mood is disaffected, the visuals dream-like, but the sex is riveting. Besides Pixie's solo masturbation scene (a Goth dream come true), the performers do not acknowledge the camera during sex scenes — with one deliberate exception. Outside of sex, the performers have direct viewer "eye contact" as part of the narrative. The storytelling is for the viewer; for the sex we are but voyeurs. The editing is tight yet deliberate.

(... ) The Doll Underground is one of the best porn films I've ever seen, and it feels like anti-porn — it's almost against the system it came from by being all that it is — a deep investigation of culture from an industry we regard as being utterly bereft of culture beyond the superficial. Rise up, indeed. Highly recommended.

We couldn't have said it better ourselves, except maybe to add that "The Doll Underground" is one of those rare porn movies that we find ourselves watching as much for the interstitial parts and high style as for the fucking itself ... although once we remember how hot the fucking is, we find ourselves wanting to fast forward to that again too. It might not be everyone's cup of dirt pipe milkshake, but if you're looking for an utterly original porn experience that'll leave you with something more than just a sticky feeling in your pants, "The Doll Underground" is the place to be. Anti-capitalist gothic Lolitas never looked so good.

"Bad Luck Betties" Make Tough Times Look Good

Jonnobot — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 13:25:54 EST

"When four aspiring starlets find themselves in the seedy underbelly of show business, their dreams of stardom turn into a living hell. Once deemed 'damaged goods', they end up fending for themselves on the margins of society!"

OK, so the box cover copy might make it sound like a film noir version of "Valley Of The Dolls" by way of the Lifetime Network, but don't be fooled: "The Bad Luck Betties" is a sexy porn romp chock full of pinup photographer extraordinaire-turned-director Winkytiki's trademark wit and style ... not to mention welcome appearances by a bevy of Fleshbot crush objects including Mika Tan, Smoking Mary Jane, Marie Luv, and Pinky Lee. Come to think of it, a noir version of "Valley Of The Dolls" might not be too much off the mark. But we doubt anything on Lifetime could get away with this much naked boobage.

Dana DeArmond Is "Role Modeling" (And You Get To Watch)

Jonnobot — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 22:26:56 EST

DCypher reports: Finally arriving on shelves this week complete with a killer punky-slash-emo soundtrack and some pretty amazing packaging, "Dana DeArmond's Role Modeling"—a title you might have seen us mention here once or twice before—is everything we've come to expect from those crazy kids at Vivid Alt.

See why "Role Modeling" is an example to us all after the jump.

. . .

According to Vivid Alt majordomo Eon McKai, the idea for "Role Modeling" first started to hatch when he noticed the interminable tide of requests flooding his inbox from hot tattooed and pierced hopefuls begging to get into porn after watching his work. Likewise, Dana DeArmond found that she too was fooded by a virtual sea of amateur filth from aspiring sex stars after "Dana DeArmond Does the Internet" was released. What's an alt porn impresario and his muse to do?

Then, one balmy Silverlake evening over a meal of strong fondue and l33tspeak while Dana bemoaned her lack of free time to masturbate due to having to dispense advice to fledgling starlets, a collective light bulb flashed over their heads and, like Athena springing fully grown in all her lusciousness from the forehead of Zeus, "Role Modeling" was born with Dana (naturally) being the role model.

Despite what can only be imagined as a super difficult task of wading through stacks of naked pictures of gorgeous, barely legal porn starlets-in-training, Eon and Dana finally cast the stellar cast of promising talent, which includes Apple McCall, Rory Tonic, Casper Vice, and Andy San Dimas. (Where do they come up with those awesome pomo names anyway?)

Watching these newbies take the plunge from discussion board lurkers to full-blown sex stars will make you say w00t. Or whatever the kids are saying these days.
