Willie writes: I appreciate all the knife fights going on around the fringes of the Lackwood-Poonante story. It’s quintessentially porn, just like going to collect your A/R with a baseball bat, and the clap.

It occurs to me one issue has not yet been addressed: who in the hell wrote a movie about a male pornodude? Which brainiac at Egoist Entertainment had the rare instance of all three synapses firing to think up a movie centered around a guy?

Oh, not just any guy, a mentally disturbed one, and a not-so-vaguely homoerotic one. Someone obviously thought this would sell. Lackwood’s ego would easily eclipse any prurient interest I’d have in such a movie, even if you assembled the five best whores in the business. Your typical porn degenerate like me is not going to buy anything which had to be sold in the “demilitarized zone” between the straight and gay porn at the video store. I have an exceptional idea: how about a porno centered around a woman? Like the old “Deep Inside….” series.

I also don’t believe a word of that nonsense about Lackwood being irreplaceable; they SHOULD have called Nick Manning in an instant. At least I can have a laugh when the inevitable “dropping fucking loads” line comes around (pun not intended). The only laugh I get out of Skurt is wondering why he chose that adorable choo-choo train on his forearm.

By the way, I know at least two other directors who were accosted by Lackwood at the AEE, trying to convince them that it’s perfectly acceptable behavior for a man to accept dildos in his backside.

Keep up the good work Gene, Willie
