X-rated movies outsell all the rest combined

[Major Robert Dump]

You guys go ahead and keep living in denial and believing that Shrek 2 sales beats stuff like Barely Legal 6. really, its funny.

Porn: low production cost/ no artistic merit and serving a very distinct purpose/higher sale value/high resale value

Regular movies typically cost more to produce, they cost less new, their value depreciates really quickly after the first 2 months, they have a pathetic resale value, they are easily available which means they will be resold even cheaper, and they have pretty much no reason to be watched more than once unless A:its your favorite movie or B: youre a bad parent who lets your kids watch the came cartoon every night to shut them up.

As far as theatrical numbers go, why are the two even being compared? All of the top grossing porn series are STRAIGHT TO VIDEO or, in some cases, only available for acquisition on licensed sites that require membership to watch.

There are vporn video sites that sell memberships to watch movies that are 10 years old, its like the stuffs ability to generate cash never ever stops.

Oh, and don't forget that all the commerce technology on the internet, all the ways to exchange money and take members and use forms and passwords and verify IPs -- all that started with porn. Skin sells, especially when the people who can afford to buy it are kids with money or bunch of fat asses who will never get the real thing.

Another Org member (unfortunately I can't remember who) said this before and not only is it funny, it's appropriate to the thread:

"If they banned all of the porn sites on the Internet there would only be one website left and it would be an online petition to bring back the porn."

if anyone should be complaining about internet piracy cutting into their sales, it should be these guys.

Let's be honest, porn not only made the video industry into what it is today, it provided a huge boost to the Internet since the start of browsing.

Evilhoof: 'Why do you think the Net was born? Porn, porn, porn.'

Flayed: 'That is just gross... Normal people don't sit at home and look at porn on the Internet.'

Evilhoof: 'Oohh, you have no idea. Ready, normal people?'

Normal people: 'Ready! Ready!'

The solution is quite clearly to make a cleverly plotted, superbly acted porn flick.

That would stomp all over the box office.

I'd link you, but I've been told not to do that kind of a thing here. Anyway, Pirates came out last year, and Re-Penetrator before that. As well, not two months ago, I was watching some pr0n and the girl who had just finished her solo bit looked up at the camera and said, "You're irrelevent. God is dead."

I think we can bet that porn is eventually going to mix with other genres in a mainstream format.

Blimey, now that's what I call a money shot.

I hope not, I want my porn free of any mainstream crap.

[GoreBag]

What do you mean? There's already mainstream porn.

[A.Saturnus]

What I mean is when Disney is starting to make porn, it´s going too far.
