I'm old enough to have seen porn in theaters, but I never made it past the coming attractions.
>Is there a cinematic art to adult films?
Nope. Art seeks to create an emotional or intellectual response. Porn's intention is sexual gratification. It COULD potentially be art, a lot of things could, but it's not because no one working in the medium uses it in that manner.
>It used to be common for mainstream directors to direct adult films too.
Name five.
Artistic pornography exists. Check out Georges Bataille.
But lust is an emotion. As is disgust. So if you're disgusted by a porn scene then it provoked an emotional response and therefore is art.
>But lust is an emotion.
No it isn't. Do you think hunger is also an emotion?
Ha I see. We have a christcuck in the thread. Abandon ship.
That's your response? What a copout. I'm not even sure I believe in a God but at the same time my IQ is over 90 so I know that lust isn't an emotion.
Lust is not an emotion, Lust is a drive. Fricking autists. Stop trying to tell non-defective people how you fantasize the mind works.

I can only come up with ones from decades ago who did shlock grindhouse horror flicks like Nick Millard, Roberta Findlay, and Tim Kincaid.
That's hardly supporting evidence that it used to "used to be common for mainstream directors to direct adult films."
It was common in France and Spain but nowhere else AFAIK, not even Italy.
>not even Italy
There was Joe D'Amato, I guess.

Beginning a film career by working behind the camera in porn used to be very common. It was like starting your stage career by working off Broadway. You could also include actual porn in more mainstream movies like Vincent Gallo face fricking what’s her name in Brown Bunny.
Starting a film career by going through the porn industry doesn’t exist so much anymore because porn is sought through the sex act rather than watching a story now. We don’t fast forward through a tape or DVD, we just search “chubby teen painal farting cum and eating it” and we fap like kings.
That article only has one example: Barry Sonnefeld and it's not even a proper supporting point because he didn't direct porn, he was DOP for some porn films. Not one of the other directors listed made porn, it's just listing filmmakers that used scenes of unsimulated sex in their movies.
Remember when this fricking homosexual came here and all you bane reddit tourists ate it up so you could desperately justify using this board on your facebook meme groups?
Then he ran away when his niece/daughter or whoever it was got posted
fricking israelite
qrd pls
>here's your auteur, Cinemaphile
Is that Keisha Grey? yikes and oof
Keisha and Eva Lovia used to be roommates and did their first scenes together. It was kino.
she looks even worse now
this photo is ancient, lansky hasn't been involved with porn since 2019
>I'm going to pay women insane money that's way above market rates to have sex with black men in mansions rented off Airbnb
>It's art
>have niche porn idea that most stars refuse to entertain
>money talks, decide to pay the stars astronomical salaries to convice them to work with you
>because you are filling a niche everyone else is afraid/unable to fill and you do this with higher production values your company becomes very popular
>sell your company since it’s a popular, valuable property
>turns out the only reason you were able to pay so much and have those production values is by going into insane debt, company was never profitable
>leave new buyer of the company with the debt while walking away with the money he paid you
Absolute legend. I don’tlike his work but the business strategy is brilliant.
So his business strategy was build a business on unsustainable debt then fleece it off to an unscrupulous buyer that didn't do their due diligence?
Solid grift but hardly brilliant business strategy.
Ha'aretz called it "artful"

It's called blitzscaling. If he was a startup he'd be on Forbes magazine by now
Greg Lansky and Mike Adriano are the only good directors
Not anymore, but in the 70s and 80s yes.
You could argue that anything you film can be art. Porn. Capeshit, snuff films, whatever. It's not really a high bar necessarily.
I’m something of an artist myself; my bed looks like a Jackson Pollock painting if you put it under a black light
People like you are the reason why I could never buy a used mattress or futon or computer chair.
I remember when he used to review pornos
Just like video games, there exists some that's artful but most of it is just cheap entertainment
Love Hotel is one of the greatest films ever made and is wall to wall hardcore sex. That blows the door open for me that it is art indeed
Link?
For me it's Aunt Diane
belladonna and jaysin probably came the closest to making porn into art but all in all it's just another lick on the balls
Pornography is a israeli weapon
It's curious how the majority of Directors are Men and very few are women.
Kendra Lust wanted to follow the path of being a Director but she was very bad.
I really, really wish there were more porn with actual stories and proper immersive elements.
>Aunt Diane
>Sensational Janine
>Homeless in America (JAV)
>That old JAV where the new husband rapes the daughter in the hallway, and then she invites him to frick her in the closet later
SOD DEMAND did a good job with the "Always Frick" series. They have a story if you find it with subtitles.
>if you find it with subtitles
Not to worry, this is the exact thing I studied years and years of moonspeak for.
Also the one where a group of cheerleaders are finding various part time jobs to save up for some trip or something. I think it was just callled "Cheerleaders"?
