Let me start off by saying that I hate the reputation my site has for being pornographic. Yeah, I shoot naked people from time to time, but the vast majority of stuff on this site has nothing to do with sex or nudity. On top of that my photography, while trashy at times, tends to be pretty tame.  It’s mostly just topless girls.  That being said, I am about to review a porn film so I guess I am just going to have to deal with the haters. At least the nudity brings in a shit load of traffic.

When I was in LA in June, one of the things I did out there was to shoot a spec assignment for Vice that was to ultimately land on the Viceland blog.  Months has passed and my editor took forever to get back to me and he finally just disappeared, so I have no idea what happened to the story.  Hopefully the editor will return one day and at the very least I will get a rejection so I can post the article on here.

The article in question was a behind the scenes look at the filming of a porn feature LA Pink.  LA Pink is a parody of Kat Von D’s show LA Ink and is the most ambitious effort from Brooklyn based alt-porn company Burning Angel.  Director, star and friend Joanna Angel told me that I could hang out on set for a day and shoot photos.  It was pretty exhausting day and 95% of the time was spent shooting dilologue and nearly all of it made it into the film.

LA Pink finally came out last weekend and Joanna gave me a copy. The film is nearly three hours long and has 9 sex scenes in it.  That is crazy.  It is a double disk DVD and has a shit ton of bonus features, which although I haven’t watched yet, I know for a fact has some insane behind the scenes footage. And here is the craziest part… The movie is actually good.

Since I saw a lot of the sex scenes in person I just decided to mostly skip them when watching the movie.  I just watched the story, and it is pretty fucking funny.  The film is well shot despite some of the porn required terrible sets and bad continuity. The acting is surprisingly good with Joanna and boyfriend James Deen delivering solid performances.  James is the star of pretty much every porn parody film, so he has had a lot of practice.  The real star of the movie is porn veteran Sean Michaels who is maybe the greatest living actor.  While on set, he had my cracking up with the seriousness he delivered his ridiculous lines.  I have would give the best supporting actor role to my boy Brian Street Team who while having a minimal role delivered at least 50% of the laughs. He also gets a blow job from three insanely girls which I saw in person and is probably one of the hottest and funniest porn scenes I have watched.

Other sex scenes include Joanna solo, Joanna and Draven doing a lesbian scene, Joanna getting double penetrated by James and Sean, a crazy threesome involving Coco Velvet and Andy San Dimas that almost broke the table, and a lesbian orgy that turns into reverse gang bang involving every girl in the film and James Deen. It also features your standard boy girl sex scenes with Joanna & Sean and James & Misti Dawn, but they were shot at the same time and inter-spliced to form a Voltronesque super scene.

On top of all the laughs and crazy sex you also get to see my feature film debut an extra! I play a guy on a couch who is twittering while he is waiting for a tattoo.  I was actually twittering about playing a twitterer. How fucking meta.  Other interesting notes are the fact that the film was co-written by NYC nightlife icon and good friend DJ Jess. Joanna was actually on LA Ink and has a big Kat Von D tattoo. The film was edited by DBB friend Doug Sakmann and from what I can tell pretty much the only song on the sound track is a ShiraGirl song which features a former intern of mine on bass.  Fucking awesome.

So yeah, go to Burning Angel now and buy your copy.  You can watch the totally safe for work trailer below.
