The worst thing to happen to porn was buying that whole idea about going mainstream.

While the mainstream might still love Sally Fields, it doesn’t necessarily share the same feelings about pornographers. When porn was tucked away in a nice little boiler room in Chatsworth minding its own business everyone made money and every one had fun doing it. Then along came AVN.

I remember having a Christmas Day conversation 20 years ago with a porn vet named Phil Vozo. An editor in the business from way back, Vozo, whose face might be right at home in a Sopranos episode, would occasionally direct under the name Jean Pierre Ferrand and make some pretty good movies in the bargain.

Even so, it was Vozo’s opinion that AVN was the worst thing that ever happened to the business.

Being the editor-in-chief of AVN, I wasn’t inclined to disagree with him. You don’t disagree with a guy especially one who looks like he should be in a Sopranos episode. Yet, Vozo who’d been around long enough to know, had a good point. He felt that porn stopped being fun when companies began obsessing about winning awards.
