Somebody just sent me a cover for a porn DVD, which obviously I can't post here, laughing at it, because it had director's commentary listed as a feature.

What the hell kind of commentary could you have for that?

"Yeah, it was at this point that we had to get the ice packs for her asshole because she started bleeding. The crew was pretty mad, the eight guys who were tag-teaming her went to play some pool while she recuperated, but through the magic of editing it looks like nothing happened."

"I wanted to slow this money shot down and do a rotation like The Matrix, but we didn't have the budget."

Don't be shocked. Porn has been on the cutting edge of video (DVD in particular) for awhile. The industry was doing things like branching chapters and such while companies like Disney were just porting laserdisc transfers and fighting the move towards DVD.

I'm aware the porn industry drives technology like the net and DVD, but what the fuck kind of commentary could you have for a gangbang scene?

"If you freeze frame it here you can see that we forgot to take a nipple ring off the stunt double."

 

[ge-man]

I'd imagine that they talk about a lot of the same stuff you see in regular commentaries. As cheaply as much porn is made today, there is still technique involved and there are quite a few directors in the industry that fashion themselves as auteurs (Jules Jordan for instance).

Who wants to listen to that? Some guy talking about the technique he used or how he angled the shot; yeah, that gets me going.

I can't imagine there being many things of interest on a porn set. So, I guess they'd interview the cast, ask how they prepare for a scene, what's going on in their personal lives etc.

I recall seeing a "bonus scene" where Taylor Rain -I'm pretty sure that's her name- talked about taking cocaine straight up the ass. 0_o

Now, that does nothing for me, but I'm sure they're people out there who'd find that of interest.

I was more surprised by dolby 5.1 tracks.

LOL! Ejaculation-Time? This I have to see.

Says "director commentary" in the title.

VCA put out a bunch of classic (shot on film) titles back in 97-98 with commentary from Jim Holliday, a self-purported expert on porn history.

The commentaries are pretty entertaining because Holliday is such a self-absorbed nut.

There is a pretty good one called Love's Passion or something like that and the director is a woman. Her and the female star of the thing talk all about making the movie and why they did what they did. The star sounds like a total dingbat but the director is pretty good (for the material). Hearing 2 women talk about sex was actually hotter than the movie was.

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

Now-a-days I think the damn commentary would work better.

"Here you can see the boom-mike in the shot. The reason why we didn't redo the scene is because, well, I don't give a shit"

Haha

 

[Flynn]

One director, Quazarman, always noted to me shoots in which stray bodily fluids got on his shoes or pants. That's the kind of thing porn commentaries should have.

Sadly, most of the time you get self-aggrandizing commentary from blow-hard directors who think they're hot shit.

Yeah, it was at this point that we had to get the ice packs for her asshole because she started bleeding.

....dude, thats.....thats something.
