I find the idea of total moral responsibility to be a murky affair at best when taking into account both neuroscience and modern cultural anthropology, thus there is a certain ringing truth the statement. You came to a point because of your circumstances where you had limited decisions you could make based on who you were sculpted by life to be. You decided porn. It does not follow truly that you are completely responsible for that decision, there is a lot of nature and nurture in there. The Anonymous poster seems to give Oblowitz the pass on his behaviour as him just being who is so to speak, while in turn condemning you for just being who you are. <br />This is of course the same type of faulty logic employed that let's murdering cops get a slap on the wrist while murdering citizens get life in prison.<br />One group is seen to have the dignity of choice while other is seen to be only acting in natural role in which they are placed.<br />The dignity of choice however comes with a great cost when society deems your choices to be ill fitting with normative behaviour. <br />Thus when a dignified chooser makes a choice the ego must ascribe to them traits as either an actor whom has acted poorly or who is bad, or as a roleplayer who is only embracing their true nature. <br />Meritocracy is a messy busy. <br />Beyond that my comments must speak to the idea that of course mainstream film industry has people with issues. Many people sacrifice much of themselves to be involved with it, and go so far as to create facades to hide behind to stay clean and nice. This is going to wear on the ego and probably create unseen demands from the individuals who participate in the industry. The need to hide desires, ego's, anger, and sexuality is a breeding ground for having those exact desires control oneself.<br />The porn industry much in the same way creates a facade and sexualizes the models and actors in its field. I would not be surprised to find many of its participants bogged down by issues of intimacy and communication because the actors and models are all but torn from their own privacy.<br />In stating this I am not making a case to forgive Oblowitz's behaviour, nor attacking the porn industry and saying they are passive aggressive whatevers, but instead trying to point out that perhaps your experiences are not the experience and that there are most probably good and bad people in both industries. You just seem to have encountered the very bad in one, and represent some of the very best in another.James Parrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133340909986401035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379694290318419234.post-14786408632169653682013-01-08T04:33:30.526-08:002013-01-08T04:33:30.526-08:00oblowitz is a really cool, creepy, twisted, perver...oblowitz is a really cool, creepy, twisted, perverted underground film maker, whose made dozens of great award winning films and music videos...obviously you were neither educated or respectful enough to do your homework...he doesnt give a shit how he is perceived...and will behave however he feels... he is a true anarchist as opposed to a couple of desperate schmucks having to fuck for a living and then pretend they live a normal, petit bourgesois life...go read a book you brain dead imbeciles...pity he didnt masturbate over your self righteous idiotic faces...you two sound like perefect candidates for The Biggest LoosersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379694290318419234.post-45014612994818771562013-01-08T04:26:02.258-08:002013-01-08T04:26:02.258-08:00what a bunch of morons...what a bunch of morons...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379694290318419234.post-32064963385019720142012-03-20T18:06:04.708-07:002012-03-20T18:06:04.708-07:00Great entry!

What an asshat. I was wanting to go to graduate school for film and tv and theatrical costume design, but if assholes like that are still in the business, I think I might just stick with theatre. Yeesh!<br /><br />But to the post at hand. Your girlfriend is a fucking SAINT to put up with that and still give off a good natured face to the whole thing. I don't think I could have ever done anything like that and she deserves kudos. As do you for being blunt to that dickhole. Whatever happens in your life from this point on, I know you'll find your bliss and be happy whatever you do. :)<br /><br />And Anonymous, I feel like you're trying to argue something that no one is really arguing about, and you're being a bit condescending to both Danny and the other posters. I understand your point, I do, but no one here really is that naive. Also, nobody really said that Sasha Grey was the next Emma Stone or anything, but her life experiences did provide her and the audience a sense of realism and believability to the character she played in the movie. In short, you're trying to "educate" us on stuff we're already aware of in kind of a rude way. Of course, it's hard to add inflection and stuff on the internet typing out responses, so I get that. But this isn't really a "poor me" post, it's (to me) a post both promoting awareness and showcasing irony (or whatever the proper word is :P).Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741907494018846221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379694290318419234.post-68369287693655181042011-11-23T12:53:11.140-08:002011-11-23T12:53:11.140-08:00The response to Sasha Grey and The Girlfriend Expe...The response to Sasha Grey and The Girlfriend Experience was tepid at best and like Traci Lords she is pretty much stunt casting. Those are the kinds of parts that 99.999% of porn people get. I don't think you really believe that Sasha Grey will ever be competing for parts with Elizabeth Olsen, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone or any other truly talented young A list actress.<br /><br />Perhaps the treatment of porn performers goes back to the fuck the whore, marry the nice girl mentality that many straight and gay men have. When I was in LA, I saw gay men that were high rollers fuck and date porn stars and often these porn stars would fall in love with these guys, but ultimately they would dump the porn guy and partner with someone who was within their own social/professional/financial circle.<br /><br />I think Howard Stern is a pretty good indicator of how mainstream Hollywood and society think of porn. Howard is fascinated by porn, talks about getting off on porn, and has performers on regularly. At the same time though, he talks about how degrading it is, how ashamed some of these girls mothers must be, and how embarrassed most of these people will be in 20 years about doing porn. I don't agree with it but it all goes back to the fuck the whore marry the nice girl mentality that men have. <br /><br />Seth Rogen was on the Stern show and talking about watching porn and thinking in his head "I can fuck any of these girls if I wanted to now". Meaning that now that he's famous, any of these girls would gladly fuck him with no effort or hesitation. It's probably true, but at the same time his attitude is that these girls are disposable and not people. I've found that kind of attitude is prevalent in Hollywood. <br /><br />TJ Cummings is right. No matter what any kind of success you might have, you will always be placed in the box as a porn performer. I don't think Hollywood will ever let a porn performer make it as a star. Chloe Sevingy paid dearly for doing a blow job scene in a movie (a crummy one at that) and it cost her a lot of work. She was able to come back, but by the time she did, the buzz she had accumulated from Kids and Boys Don't Cry was gone. Even people behind the scenes can get stigmatized. Look at Gregory Dark. <br /><br />I used to know a few guys that did softcore/skinemax porn in the late 90's who desperately wanted to have mainstream success but had to do it in order to pay the the bills. Krista Allen never fully broke the stigma of the one softcore porn she did. <br /><br />Also I think the internet can make it much harder for someone to transition from porn to anything mainstream, including a non entertainment industry career. Gone are the days when someone can make a few movies and disappear into anonymity. Porn wikileaks and the slew of gossip websites took care of that. Look at what happened recently to the son of that soap opera actress that got outed for doing porn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379694290318419234.post-44053653103824865912011-11-22T13:08:52.127-08:002011-11-22T13:08:52.127-08:00To Anonymous,

Porn performers are used for stuff like this all the time (see Pirahna 3D). No one expected to get famous. It's just a nice treat for fans, and a decent paycheck. <br /><br />As for your claim that no one in mainstream will associate themselves with porn people... The only reason Soderberg's "The Girlfriend Experience" got any press is because of Sasha Gray. Some of it was obviously good press. Otherwise she would have never gotten a recurring role on "Entourage." <br /><br />I don't think I'm going to be the next Spielberg. I never did. But working below the line on mainstream films is always a possibility. It's something I do on indie stuff every once in a while. Because no one cares what your past is if you're hauling equipment or setting up lights. <br /><br />It's the above the line people that care about publicity. <br /><br />The point of this blog is that, in my experience, the stereotypes that are often attributed to the porn industry are more likely to be true in mainstream film. <br /><br />We didn't go to an audition. We were there so some guy could get his dick sucked. I don't care what industry you're in. That makes you a piece of shit. <br /><br />Also... That's not my mom. It's my girlfriend's.

I would see a great movie to see a great movie porn actor or no and if the truth be known I'm not a quiet minority. It still amazes me the prejudices we live with in our so called modern world. It is still a world where we are better pretending we're living in the "norm" then that perhaps some things just aren't that big of a deal at the end of the day. You and my girl are the brave ones and I hope you never give anything but attitude back to morons like that producer/director. He's been living in his own crazy fucked up world way too long.

However, some of the most intelligent people that I know of are involved with some kind of sex work, and Danny is definitely in that group. It's thanks to people like him that the wall between porn and everybody else is slowly being broken down. Just because the bridge between the two isn't crossed often doesn't mean he can't do it.

I told myself the same thing, and I even as far as to give myself my own expiration date. And I quote, "If I'm fucking for money when I turn 30 then I'm going to cut my cock off." I'm 31 and I haven't cut off my cock. I wonder and I worry. When isn't porn a part of my life but my life?<br /><br />You wrote about walking away for less money and longer hours. That's true, but... Would you trade the freedom and the pay for... For what? The what might be the mundane, working at a Starbucks, or the what might be the majestic life you've dreamed of. But, the grass isn't always greener... After all, I know you've found a lot of your friends and found love in porn.<br /><br />You and your girlfriend's "meeting" put porn into perspective, or at least society's perception of porn. Adult actors and actresses... We're The Jersey Shore. I don't think I'm out of line typing that the "guidos" and "guidettes" are punch lines to a joke, laughed at like jesters performing for our own amusement. We're that punch line, put into sex's perspective. Society asks "The Situation" to flash his abs and smirk and we're ask to flash our cocks and cunts. "Mainstream" jobs and 220,000 twitter followers and Sasha Grety is still the whore who reads to children. Sadly, we're second class citizens, in the eyes of society.<br /><br />For the record... I'm not telling you or your readers that a pornographic life isn't the good life or that society's treatment of us is tolerable. I am telling everyone that I think a lot of us, my porn peers and I, forget to put our lives into the perspective. Who are we? Who do we want to be?<br /><br />Danny...
