Not Just Movies: Real Film
After reading the NY Times review of this year's porn industry awards, it seems increasingly clear to me that, as we near Oscar season, a likely Best Picture candidate is separating itself from the rest of the pack: "Camp Cuddly Pines Power Tool Massacre", a searing post-Modernist, neo-New Wave statement about the contemporary human condition starring, of course, Stormy Daniels.
The really interesting thing is that the porn video/film industry apparently now grosses about half of what the big Hollywood studios do at the box office. Well, why not? After all, both generally offer thin plot lines, ridiculous dialogue, one-dimensional characters, etc. But somehow the camera work seems much more intriguing on the porn side of the thing. Of course, my concern here is strictly with the art.

Clearly need to check out "Camp Cuddly Pines Power Tool Massacre". You know, when I'm not at work.
