Just my opinion
While I agree beggars can't be choosers, I interpreted the original question to be what are we, the members of this board looking for in an ENF video. My earlier rant was not intended to be so finicky, but in a perferct world, some of the sexy scenarios I mentioned would be ideal. Would I settle for less? Sure, we all have and were glad to get what we got. The Juiced ad is a great example. The ENF moments could be so much more, done so much better, with so much more tension, better acting, more realistic women, more creative scenarios, but to date they just simply ARE NOT. THey could be, but ARE NOT. So sure we love Juiced. Could have been better though. For a 30 second commercial it was great. For a video I'm paying for, I would like more than Juiced delivers. And i don't consider myself a killjoy for saying that. I think this is why this thread has received so much attention, and why I personally went in to such detail. Never before has a person, or company in this position cared enough to ask my opinion on this subject, and I for one won't let this opportunity pass to possibly influence a wonderful, yet underdeveloped genre. I remember an Amy Lynn Baxter movie, Bikini Bistro, featuring Isabella Fortea as a waitress who loses a bet and has to take off her top, in front of just one cook, is apprehensive/pensive for about 3 seconds, and then turns nympho on the cook. I must have watched it a thousand times. Was the acting good? No. Girl good looking? yes. Situation sexy? yes. Set design impressive. Absolutely no. Worth buying for those 3 seconds. Hell yes...by comparison. Because of the lack of what I am looking for, that scene made it worth buying. Would you sell a half ass effort to at least every other member on this board. Yes. But with a "babysitting" effort, you would become the leader of a cult. The Skinimax type erotic thriller replaced bawdy 80's T&A comedies after Basic Instinct came out. No one rents those for the story, and the only thing they are thrilled about is seeing nudity. So, you're answer at first in the sense of getting the "company" to go along with a full length video, might be to sell it as a regular sexy thriller chock full of ENF moments rather than telling them you're reinventing the wheel. Rather than having the starlet seduced by the killer, have her completely embarassed by the killer, blackmailed into situations, or whatever. Shannon Tweed's movies often danced around this where she wasn't instantly enamored only to find out she was dating a psycho. Often she was quite reluctant to be in the situation, but far to quickly was overcome with lust in my opinion. T&A comedies like National Lampoon's straight to video, evidently are all aimed at pre-teens. Nothing is more irritating to me to pick up a box at the video store with a cover that looks like the movie is the next "Zapped", I turn it over and it says, rated for A SCENE of sexuality, language. Sorry, getting off the soapbox. My point is that these feeble attempts at T&A comedy are always checked out. Someone is renting them. And I guarantee when they get them home and find that the only nude scene was a 3 second shot of some extra, not the cute actress the story was all about, they are dissapointed. And when it happens to me i remember that "Full Moon Video" never delivers, only teases. So I skip their movies and rent something else. We've all been duped too many timess by Lampoon. Everyone knows now to save your money. Likewise, a good reputation for delivering the goods will go a long way. Google search the name Alain Siritsky, he makes these kinds of films. Some may remember "Le click", which I think was later made into a crappy little series on showtime. While not ENF, he's the only one currently staying true to light hearted T&A, and was involved with the recent video, "Ain't it cool", a Zapped clone. Anyway, I think you can make a lighthearted flic and it will sell to those not interested in ENF just because it's a T&A comedy, if you ever end up thinking about making a full length film full of ENF. Again thanks for reading, and if there is anyway that we can help support your project, don't hesitate to ask, I'll gladly sign the petition.
