However, things have changed. The game really has not but the product and the distribution method has radically changed. "Art" of the 70's and 80's looks it and this can be said as well for mainstream movies and music. The best survive like Frank Sinatra songs but Dina Shore is forgotten in the past.
We dinosaurs might appreciate the art of the past but our contempories want a raunchy real product it seems. I remember the airbrushed centerfold of mens magazines of the 60's and 70's. Retro art maybe but John Q Wanker ain't fapping to that today. It seems so tame -- even the raunchiest of Hustler magazine seems tame today. |
Ugly George wasn't raunchy and real???
There was another reason film was dictating the style. Getting to see a movie like you watched, meant a theatre. At home all people had were 8mm movie projectors and the longest most of the movies sold were ten minutes. So what you were looking at was "movies" single scenes were for the home based market in countries where film theatres couldn't show full length porn films. However if you knew where to go, there were little operations where you could watch lots of the 10 minute movies. Amongst a group of 20 guys jerking off.
Yes it was scary, thanks for reminding me.
I don't know what it was like in the US, I have a very intimate knowledge of the market here in Europe and we did have more niches than glam. Maybe you are talking about that you saw in the US.
