"[A]s in the movie musical, the episodic structure of the hard-core narrative is something more than a flimsy excuse for sexual numbers: it is part and parcel of the way the genre goes about resolving the often contradictory desires of its characters" (134). Linda Williams, Hard Core: Power, Pleasure, and the "Frenzy of the Visible." 1989.
Thanks to FanGirlTastic, who flatteringly asked me to start reviewing XXX new releases for them, I received a glitzy DVD of Vivid's second superhero "parody" (this term is becoming meaningless), Superman XXX: A Porn Parody. Over the last couple of years (since 2008's Cry Wolf, I guess), I have witnessed feature porn deteriorate at an alarming pace, seemingly in a panic to emulate the high octane sex of gonzo, as...

2010 was the year of the porn parody. That part is in thanks to SuperXXXHeroes and Vivid Entertainment, who has brought us the hits Batman XXX, Superman XXX, and the upcoming Spider-Man XXX. Hulking out and ‘Hulk Smash!’ has all-new meanings now.
“There’s been lots of superhero parodies from other companies, but they always end up just parodying the character. I’m remaking [the ‘Hulk’ TV pilot] almost exactly, but with sex,” says the film’s director, B. Skow to the La Times. “Instead of making it a joke, I’m trying to keep the drama of it.”
Porn star/actor Lee Stone plays the Hulk and Dale DaBone plays the David Banner character, for the film mimics the TV pilot of the popular 1980s series. “I’m never going to be called to be in a movie with Julia Roberts, so this is my chance to see how I would have done,” DaBone says.

This Saturday, Elvis Presley would have been seventy-six years old. And Vivid Entertainment has a present for the late sweet-toothed crooner. It's Elvis XXX: A Porn Parody, the latest from future Avf Hall of Famer Axel Braun. And let's just get it out of the way: Ron Jeremy's in it. Because if "The Hedgehog" isn't in it, it doesn't really count, does it? Two adult actors will portray Elvis at different ages, with Dale DaBone getting stuck with the part of the "less slender" 1970s Elvis. The film is a fictionalized version of Elvis' life, so Elvis diehards sniffing sacrilege can rest easy. Vivid continues to be a juggernaut in the adult industry, and capitalizing on the beloved singer will only add to their bottom line. All pre-release copies of the DVD have apparently already been sold. Crass commercialism aside, [...]...

This is a Recap of Top Chef All-Stars (Season 8), Episode 3, entitled “New York’s Finest”, originally airing December 15th, 2010. Shockingly, they do not have to cook any dishes based on New York Police Precincts – that’ll be next week, in the episode “Seriously Though We Mean Cops”. Quickfire time! First, Padma picks the teams by saying “You walked in here in a random order, and that’s how we’re gonna split these teams up.” What?? Where’s the 4-minute montage of people opening up Russian nesting dolls to find skeleton keys that open cobwebbed treasure chests that contain the names of U.S. Secretaries of Agriculture and the teams are based on which vegetable those secretaries subsidized the most during their tenure? Top Chef, I don’t even know you anymore. The chefs get the chance to rave about their teammates, and Fabio is pumped, even though “Angelo wears...

New York -- If the new "Date Night" DVD had sold only 25,000 copies, there would have been hell to pay for studio executives. But for Steven Hirsch -- or anyone else in the adult entertainment business, for that matter -- that figure represents a blockbuster.
The founder of Vivid Entertainment, the leading purveyor of pornographic videos, has built a business estimated to pull in as much as a $100 million slice of an industry estimated to bring in as much as $13 billion a year (compared to mainstream box office of $10.6 billion). The key to thriving even as free online porn services eat away at the DVD market is being nimble enough to adapt principles familiar to the rest of the showbiz world: celebrity scandal and superhero tentpoles. Laurence Fishburne's daughter Montana's sex tape and "Batman: a XXX Porn Parody" -- both from Vivid...

Well they are doing it again. After the success of the Batman porno, they have made... Superman XXX.
With an all-star cast including Alexis Texas, Lexi Belle, Kristina Rose, Zoe Voss, and Andy San Dimas as Lois Lane, Superman XXX: A Porn Parody is taking the parody genre to a whole new level. Featuring state-of-the-art special effects and Braun's legendary attention for details, the movie will be shot with Red cameras and will once more raise the bar for adult parodies.
"The enormous success of Batman XXX: A Porn Parody made this project very exciting," said Braun. "As usual, I'm trying to recreate the look and feel of the source material and have some fun with it without offending the fans, but while the Batman TV show was shot in studio with a relatively low budget, Richard Donner's movie was a huge production with plenty of exteriors and groundbreaking special effects,...

Jennifer Capriati's Ex -- 'Perfect Storm' Caused Od
Jennifer Capriati's ex-boyfriend says he believes two big things went down in her life that caused her to accidentally Od on prescription drugs -- his return to porn and her depression over tennis.
Dale DaBone dated Jen from 2003-2009 -- if DaBone sounds like a porn star name ... that's because it is -- and DaBone has 443 films under DaBelt.
DaBone claims Jen got horribly depressed every time a grand slam event went down. Interestingly, the Od occurred Sunday, during the time Wimbledon was on. Jen would always complain she was forced out of tennis because of injuries and began taking prescription meds.
But there's something else that DaBone says sent Jen on a downward spiral -- his recent return to porn ... something Jen despised. DaBone signed on with Vivid Entertainment to star in "Batman XXX: A Porn Parody."

Former tennis prodigy Jennifer Capriati, who is as notorious for her youthful indiscretions with marijuana and shoplifting as she is for her athleticism, is in the news again today. Sadly, it appears that Capriati overdosed on pills and was hospitalized yesterday, but her condition is now stable. Capriati’s father claims that an accidental Od of prescription medications is to blame, but judging from the Twitter account of Jennifer’s ex-boyfriend, porn star Dale DaBone, it appears that the Od was intentional and a result of their breakup. DaBone (whose real is name Dale Rutter) has been tweeting all day about Capriati’s condition and at one point wrote “I just talked to her…she said it was because of me…I wanna puke right now.” In spite of his porny name and the fact that he’s taking such a serious matter to the Twitterverse, DaBone seems truly broken up about Capriati’s condition.

When we last left our caped crusaders, they were merely static stalwarts. Trapped in the second dimension, against ghastly typography, word balloons, and credits! But then, in the nick of time, Dale DaBone, err... Batman used his Bat-Trailer Transmogrification Ray to transfer his two-dimensional troop of titillating players from poster to full motion trailer. For those of you not in-the-know, we're talking about Batman:XXX, A Porn Parody. Flying atomic batteries at full power, this "Vivid Video takes the campy Adam West styled Batman universe and give all of nerds a little chance to see just how much in the tights was the man, and how much was... bat-padding. The costumes are amazingly well done, and we dare you not to marvel at the acting skill that dare we say.... out West's Adam West! That's right folks. Same Bat-Porn, new Bat-Porn-Channel. Enjoy the clip below.
And to our utter horror.

Biff! Pow! Bam! Not in the face!
File this under the "Well, finally!" pile, folks. After parodying basically everything else in pop culture, the adult film industry has finally parodied the Adam West Batman franchise. Batman: XXX by folks at Vivid VIdeo will hit the shelves (behind beaded curtains) in May. You can't make this stuff up kids. Thanks to folks at iesb, here's a little promotion from the films producers:
"The cast was just incredible," said director, Axel Braun. "Dale DaBone literally became Adam West, turning in one of the most electrifying comeback performances I've ever seen in my 20 years in the industry, and James Deen was just outstanding as Robin. Tori Black, who plays Catwoman, showed us exactly why she's the reigning Performer of the Year. This girl is so gorgeous and talented, and her sexual energy is just unbelievable."
While there's not a complete synopsis of the plot,...
