Film School Rejects: Shouting Match: Can Porn Stars Change the Mainstream?

  • Tristan · 1 year ago
    i don't wanna be the weird guy who knows more than he should about the pornstars, but Katie Morgan has a genius IQ.
    At least from what I've heard.

    if they can act then sure I don't see a problem with it because I have seen some porno's based on major Hollywood hits and to be completely honest the acting was better in the porno.

    I'm not weird, but I know a lot about porn stars, and Katie Morgan says she has a genius IQ. That's where that started, on an HBO special interview. Is she that smart? Don't know. She's hot and I had my arm around her at Comic-Con, so whether or not we can discuss string theory is irrelevant. My brain turns off when she's around.

    Porn stars will never change the mainstream - anyone who can act won't do porn and anyone who does porn generally can't act. But cameos will probably increase more as people are more open about wanking it to porn all the time. But this is no game changer.

    Yeah the overarching thing here is that in porn the acting is terrible - which doesn't really matter because it most films the sex is terrible.

    have no aversion to pornstars in mainstream. In fact, they will probably be in a perfect fit in most of the sex scenes. How about replacing Gwyneth Paltrow with Eva Angelina as Pepper Potts, Marvel?! seeing as you're already on a switching rollercoaster!

    Agent : Helen, I have some bad news.
    Helen Mirren : Are they canceling The Queen sequel?
    Agent : Not exactly, apparently Jenna Jameson was offered the lead, she tested though the roof. She ah... blew their... minds.
    Helen Mirren : BLOODY HELL

    Traci Lords was the strongest argument, yes. However, I'm not sure why Rob was saying she didn't move past the confines of Rosanne. Don't get me wrong, she hasn't necessarily had much commercial success since then, but she's been busy. I don't remember if First Wave was any good, but as most televised sci-fi, even if it's half good, she's probably got a cult following (who may not know about her being an underage porn star). I wouldn't dismiss her so easily. That and if you're going to bring up Katie Morgan in Zack & Miri, you should probably mention Lords there as well.

    I doubt it'll make any difference having porn stars cross over. They aren't famous for their acting, and more than likely whatever film they did that week for Reality Kings whatever is probably a lot more "interesting" then watching them deliver lines awkwardly. I guess you could flip this around and say that Ron Jeremy was pretty awesome in Boondock Saints as a cameo, but that was more of a "Hey sweet, that's fucking Ron Jeremy" than anything else.

    Okay, I will admit that i'm no stranger to the adult film world.

    That being said I think there are some beautiful girls in that biz who would probably have a career in the "mainstream" if they didn't go into porn.

    Granted, they're probably not going to be doing MacBeth, but gals like Carmen Electra have gotten very far guest starring as the token hot girl on some sitcom.

    I love how you two, Cole and Rob, rip into each other. That is so great!

    I'll be the third to point out that Katie Morgan has an IQ of 165. I just watched that HBO interview last night. Considering she links to this site from hers (probably increasing your traffic tenfold), I'd think you'd be nicer to her. ;)

    Sam makes a valid point about how much of the crossover appeal depends on that ever thin line between celebrities and porn stars. Yes, there is a "prestige" market for plot-driven porn for the couples trade and industry awards. Too much of the gonzo categories dispense with scripts and even the cheezy music.

    Traci Lords is probably an outlier given her controversial relationship with the adult industry. Director Kevin Smith admits that he was going for some stunt casting for Traci and initially thought she would refuse because she continues to distance herself from her porn past. But as several folks point out, she has remained busy.

    Katie Morgan could be another exception. I too have watched too much porn and recall how Ed Powers admitted that he kept turning her down. She persisted and got an agent. Obviously, she is very shrewd and has shown talent for managing her post-porn career. (And her link is why I am here.) I may express skepticism about her IQ score, but I cannot argue with her resume with the HRO work and now the mainstream role.

    IT WILL NEVER BECAUSE MOST NORMAL PEOPLE KNOW THAT PORN IS NOT MORALY GOOD. THE PORN INDUSTRY WILL NEVER GO MAIN STREEM. PLUSE THE ACTORS SUCK! ALL WOMAN IN PORN ARE SLUTS.
