Consolation Prizes: Love Is On The Menu

GRAM-PONANTE

The self-perpetuating press release engine that is porn becomes even more spirited and terrifying following the AVN Awards, and we have a little game that involves nuking every single press release as soon as it hits our inbox for two weeks following the show, knowing that they will contain things everyone already knows. It's fun. (We call it Deletey™.) But we couldn't but reward perennial Worst Press Release of the Week winner All Media Play for the good-humored Best DVD Menu announcement for its "Not the Bradys XXX".

We followed the august standard set by adult trade magazines to run the unexpurgated version after the gap.

Award Celebration Continues for Not the Bradys XXX

(Hollywood, CA) "We can't stop partying," stated Not the Bradys XXX director Will Ryder as the victory celebration continued a full two weeks following the AVN Awards Show which saw the Brady Bunch porn spoof enter the winner's circle at the Mandalay Events Center in Las Vegas. Now the movie is up for more high profile awards first at the XBiz Awards in Hollywood and later at the Adult DVD Empire Awards somewhere in cyberspace.

"This movie spoof of the Brady Bunch continues to enjoy a tremendous sales run and people just really like it, and to win an AVN Award of this magnitude is remarkable," stated co-producer Scott David of X-Play who was busy looking for more skirts and wallpaper from the 1970s.

With an all-star cast and national television stories that have flooded tabloid news magazine shows, Not the Bradys XXX has received the type of sales and exposure normally reserved for mainstream movies or record companies with deep payola pockets.

"We've not seen anything like this in quite some time and we're extremely proud of Will Ryder for bringing home another big award," stated Drew Rosenfeld of Hustler Video which distributes the DVD.

With thirteen AVN nominations, Not the Bradys XXX took home the coveted Best DVD Menus prize prompting the producers to jump for joy with tearful hugs and heartfelt high fives.

"I almost got knocked down when they announced we won and my suit got wrinkled during a very aggressive low-five from Paulina James but that was one of those moments in time that you just won't forget," stated Ryder who sat at the SexZ Pictures table which was filled with a gaggle of happy award winners most of whom made repeated trips to the stage for the blockbuster sci-fi thriller Upload which won numerous awards including Best Video Feature.

"Anybody can win Best Movie or Best Comedy, but to win for Best DVD Menus is really what we had our sights set on all year," Ryder admitted as he wiped away a tear of joy from his tired, wrinkled but elated face. "People keep asking me if we're going to shoot a sequel and all I can tell them is to stay tuned to TV's The Insider to find out as they pretty much determine what we do."

There is no truth to the rumor that Ryder has been contacted by representatives of the Brady Bunch television show to direct a made-for-TV documentary starring Cousin Oliver.

"We have our entire schedule of porn spoofs ready to go this year so I really don't have much time for outside projects much less this interview because I have to leave some time open to watch Nick at Nite."

Not the Bradys XXX has been named the #1 porn movie of the year by www.XCritic.com and continues to earn praise from adult movie reviewers nationwide. "This movie really set the bar quite high but I think they should get rid of awards like best menus," stated Don Houston of Xcritic.com

"Sales have been so strong that we are constantly forced to order more replication runs of the DVD because it keeps selling out but that's really starting to get expensive so we might have to put an end to re-orders as a way to keep costs down," stated Robert Bobby senior accountant at the X-Play world headquarters in Hollywood.

Not the Bradys XXX is up for more trophies at the upcoming XBiz Awards and also with Adult DVD Empire.com prompting Ryder to say, "I think we're going for the DVD menus hat trick."

Not the Bradys XXX is available in stores everywhere, online and directly from www.bradysxxx.com where you can check out numerous movie trailers including clips from Entertainment Tonight's The Insider.
