was looking for something to watch on netflix last night and checked this documentary out. It interviews a bunch of former/current porn stars about what got them in the business, their experince with it and how they have tried to move on after it. You get a pretty decent feel for how they view the industry without the film itself trying to hard to show bias in either a negative or positive light.
Some of my thoughts:
john leslie and nina hartley seemed like the two most mentally stable and genuinely content of the actors interviewed. They were very real with what they got out of the industry good and bad and didnt lie to themselves about decisions they made and how it impacts their life. At the end of the day, if a posn star is happy with their life and comfortable with themselves, then it doest matter what others think of them. And both those two genuinely seemed happy and comfortable with life.
Now as for everyone else, you could defenitely see some regret and troubled souls.
Raylene in particular was interesting one. She talked about her drug problems and how she made mistakes. She was trying hard to get out of the industry and got her real estate license and started a family and is seen breaking down in tears talking about how her family means everything. Interesting to note that after the real estate crash, she is now back into porn. So just remeber that when you check out her films, she is not happy to be doing it but has to raise her kid you disgusting pervs.
Mary Carey flat out has rocks for brains. Seriously they show an unedited clip of her asking how to prononuce a basic word. She just comes off as mentally challenged.
Asia carrera apparently was a nerdy smart chick who wanted to be desired and got into the industry to have fun. She mentions being given a full academic scholarship to an ivy league school that she wasted by never going to class and just using the room and board until she bounced to hoolywood. SHe brags about being in mensa having an iq in the op 2% of the world and opening the door for asian actresses to go mainstream in porn mentioning kobe tai in particular who benefitted due to asia establishing herself although that is questionable since they both started filming in 1994 and saw their primes at the same time. Asia now lives in utah trying to stay out of the limelight and lives off of fan donations after her husband passed away and has battled alchohol problems.
randy west had some cool stories about how he got jenna jameson into the industry and really wanted to have a serious relationship with tera patrick and he seemed hurt that she got away from him. Hes single and you can tell he wants to settle down and be a family man, but he seems like a nice guy.
Anyways, some interesting stuff.
