Porn Plot. -11/26/03- Ritz


Hello friends.

I was going to let out a rant on the subject of women with this little piece of writing, but decided to tuck that nugget away for another day. More importantly, I was struck by a much more entertaining and interesting issue - plots in porn movies. A good deal of pornography is pretty straightforward, pizza man comes to door, says nice place, chick is like "yeah, the bedroom is really big too" - enough said. But occaisonally you get those movies that go beyond the simple easy premises and seem to strive for something beyond anal penetration and five minute blowjobs. It is these movies that are the subject of my amusement today.

A lot of the time this can just be tedious and annoying, but I can't deny a certain fascination once in a while when they really are trying to add a little bit of actual movie to what they're doing. Like there was this one with pirates in it, I don't really remember the title or anything, but the point is it had pirates and at one point there's this mediocore sword fight and I'm watching it and thinking "hey these guys actually look like they're enjoying themselves". It then struck me that perhaps these plot diversions are essential for some of the actor's/actress's happiness. Since the reality is that most people fucking in your typical porn movie aren't really enjoying themselves all that much, or so I am lead to believe at least, they probably relish those occaisonal moments in time where they actually get called on to act. In a few cases there are probably some of them still in denial who think they'll make it as a "real" actor/actress.

Now while all this is charming, it can go too far. If I'm watching porn I don't want to deal with fifteen minutes of dialogue ok? Let's be reasonable, a five minute fight seen, a cop chasing down some guy (preferably a chick so there's an easy transition) or some sort of dramatic finish is an acceptable plot allotment. I'm sure to some people at this point some people are feeling at least some degree of disgust and/or pity towards me, but hey, if I'm watching porn I like to think my motives are pretty clear and honest, and no one with half a brain is going to be fooled into thinking otherwise. And for those of you that find porn in general disgusting, well, your own fault for reading something that obviously does not pertain to your interests. So yeah, less plot and more clit or something.
