So... and I realize this is kind of silly, and we're just fucking around online into the wee hours of Friday morning... are you saying that you basically think women are just there to service men?

Porn says they are. Ancient cultures mainly viewed them as a way of continuing the bloodline. They can't possibly be wrong, never ever.

The industry I work in doesn't exactly have a high view of women. Do you expect none of that not to rub off?

I can safely say as a gay man, I appreciate women more than you EVER will.

If that were true, why do you reject them as life companions?

From my limited experience with the porn industry -- friends and such who've worked in it -- I've been led to believe that women are actually highly respected. They certainly make much, much, much more money than men do.

Because I was born gay and I was raised that I should be who I am. I was also raised to respect people, no matter who they are, something your parents fucked up on majorly.

@ your

Yeah, they make more money because straight men are the main watchers of porn and thus don't much care about the male in the scene. In casting, we judge purely based on their looks whether we want to bring them in for a screen test/further discussion. How is that anything but devaluing them ?

Algren doesn't believe it because he could easily choose to and enjoy having sex with a guy if he wanted to, therefore sexuality is a choice .

Oh I know what he is laughing at. I just REALLY want him to tell me that I'm wrong and I would "choose" to be something many look down on.

And the males in your porn flicks aren't judged on their looks? Forgive me, Joe, but I doubt they run to you to fill in when an actor backs out.

I would prefer he just ignore it. He can think what he wants, though I have no clue how someone could even believe for a second that someone would willingly choose to make their life so much more difficult. That people would commit suicide over something they could so easily change. Common sense should tell you this opinion is ridiculous, but that's something he lacks. I don't know why I'm gay, but I certainly tried to date girls as a teenager and be attracted to them. But eventually I accepted that couldn't happen, after spending most of my teen years being suicidal believing my family would never accept me if they knew. I love women, I'm just not sexually attracted to them.

I'm not bad looking, according to other people on KJ. I would never do it though. Too many risks.

It's such a simple issue. I'm sexually attracted to women, not men. You're sexually attracted to men, not women. *shrug*

But would they ask you?

I'm not bad-looking, either. It's a running joke amongst my friends (and strangers) that I look like James Van Der Beek. But nobody's gonna ask me to do porn.

Why would there be risks in such a fashionable industry?

I'm not sure you are attracted to women. Where's your little black fuck book?

There aren't any if you work behind the scenes like me so I don't care. People make their choices and live with them.

Anyway guys, let's just lay this to rest. No need to keep at it.

I am glad Evil Dead is going to be such a big hit. Can't wait until part 2.

Army of Darkness 2 is where it's at, yo.

From the ads Evil Dead looks visually superb. I love the cinematography. Seems very atmospheric. I'm surprised the budget wasn't even higher. The 2009 Friday The 13th cost 19 Million and looked hideous. Maybe I just had high expectations because I thought the TCM remake looked so stunning, but really it was just so dull looking.

I never saw the first, but I wasn't a huge fan of the first two ED flicks.
