“I’m not that *strong* a swimmer…” Please watch this classic clip from Saturday Night Live featuring Martin Short, Harry Shearer and a pre-Corky-St.Clair Christopher Guest as the pink-sweatshirted dance coach of the first Men’s synchronized swimming team.
In this clip from The Tim & Roma Show from their trip to New York last year, Dark Alley Media founders Matthias vonFistenberg and Owen Hawk talk about the studio’s dimly lit, semi-German aesthetic and about what hard work it is running a porn company. Owen, once a model himself, has decided that the models need to stop complaining and realize they’re only a small piece of producing a movie.
Before they made the switch to the dark side, NY-Based Dark Alley Media was one of our favorites and this clip from their auspicious 2005 debut Mutiny reminds us why: their movies had an artsy, gritty edge that no one else could duplicate. While far from perfect, the non-sequitur dialogue, dim-orangey lighting and shaky cameras give the work almost a Dogma 95 feel-but we digress…
Multiple GayVN winner [for Best Sex Comedy, Best Renting Title, Best Supporting Actor (Christian Cruz, pictured at right) and Best Non-Sex Performance- Joe Shepard, (pictured at left as the queeny receptionist)], THE INTERN from Lucas Entertainment follows the rise of Benny (Ben Andrews) from lowly office slave to porn star, all thanks to the enormous surprise in his pants.
Before he
won a GayVN for Raging Stallion’s GRUNTS, Ricky Sinz was an actual grunt in the
US Army. Shortly after leaving the service, the bisexual wunderkind started
making porn with Corkscrew Media, including “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t
Stop!” Here they go behind-the-scenes on the insurgent shoot, to the
sound of Tchaikovsky’s “Dance of the Skin Flutes” – er – “Reed Flutes,” from “The Nutcracker Suite.”
Multiple 2008 GayVN winner (for Lifetime Achievement and Best Ethnic-Themed Video) Tiger Tyson, talks about why he loves New York (“People always got secrets. New York is one big secret.”), how he got started in porn (“I just knew I liked to fuck a lot.”) and how he eventually started his company Pitbull Productions with some money he made dancing.
And you were feeling insecure about your Oscar Party? We found this queen on YouTube doing his best Joan-and-Melissa with the C-list frumps of the Orlando social scene. Scintillating? Not exactly. But does will it make us feel better about passing out with a bottle of video head-cleaner while they do the “In Memoriam” segment this Sunday. You betcha.
When approached by our Tim and Roma cameras to describe the satisfaction of winning some of the night’s most coveted statues, the GayVN Award winners gave us varied responses. They did, however, manage to have one thing in common despite their reactions to the show: they were all definitely, irrefutably, adorably, and totally shitfaced. Check out this exclusive clip on The Sword of how some of your favorite industry vets and newcomers toasted the ceremony with glee, confusion, ambivalence,before the cameras switched off.
Reality TV just got a little gay pornier. Our friends at Dirty Boy Video alerted us to the fact that ‘James’ on CBS’s Big Brother 9 is one and the same with ‘Alex’ on the upcoming East Village-based gay soap opera Dirty Tricks (co-produced by Dirty Boy Video and NakedSword). The online-only soap is scheduled to be launched next month, but for now you can see James getting blown by cutey Schuyler in this NSFW preview from Dirty Boy Video.
So, the actual halftime show and highlight of the GayVN Awards (aside from our guerrilla photo shoot) was the Laugh-In-style roast that co-host Lady Bunny had prepared in honor of this industry we all hate to love. Tim & Roma‘s mr. Pam caught it all on video for your viewing pleasure.
Whoa! We thought the GayVNs were going to be TOTALLY BORING, so imagine our surprise when Rod Barry trotted out this gorgeous glamazon and told us not only that it was his wife, but that she was going to crank dat hippie-hippie-shake to La Isla Bonita while dressed in last season’s My Little Pony outfit. NUTRAGEOUS. Fuck Kathy Griffin-this was the best awards show ever!
GayVN-host and friend-of-flora Derek Hartley may not be instantly recognizable-unless you were a fan of Buckshot’s Big Rig (2005). In this clip, he turns off a radio show featuring real-life radio co-host Romaine (“I’m so sick of her voice!” he huffs before turning off the dial on a diatribe about lesbian astronauts) and leaves a snail trail on NakedSwordsman 2008 Colby Taylor, all while wearing some pleather confection. Charmed, we’re sure.
Who needs roses and chocolate when you’ve got lube and cock-rings? Porn legend Chad “10-inch” Donovan and real-life porn star lover Antonio Madiera discuss their fateful first meeting (on a set, natch) as Roma confesses to her preference for erection over affection.
Nineties porn legend Lou Cass is nominated this year for a GayVN-unfortunately for his fans, it’s for best NON-SEX performance. In this clip from Falcon’s GayVN-nominated Dare, the matinee idol buys some unspecified drugs hidden in a teddybear with a GPS system, then shanks GayPornBlog editor Jack Shamama. Sounds like a typical weekend for us…
Do you feel like a bigger nerd if you’re jerking off in front of your computer instead of in front of your TV? In this excerpt from Tim & Roma’s new State of the Industry episode, director/producer Chi Chi LaRue and amateur producer Andy Fair from Dirty Boy Video engage in a virtual debate about the future of the DVD market in gay porn. Chi Chi says there will be more made-for-the-internet content until DVDs go the way of 8-tracks, while Andy Fair points out that radio still hasn’t gone away, despite many predictions to the contrary, and maybe new media don’t always destroy old media.
Fifth time’s a charm! Although Link III was touted as the “Final Link,” and then a few years later Link IV appeared (“The Missing Link”), the Channel 1 merger with All Worlds allowed Chi Chi LaRue to milk the franchise one last time with “Link V: The Evolution,” an epic three disc raunch-o-rama that features a cast of over 30 men in various “kinky” scenarios including Steve Cruz as a dog boy on all fours pissing on a fire hydrant and a Cole Ryan getting a beer bottle enema. (Wouldn’t mama be proud!)
You’re stuck on a cross-country trip with a drugged out passenger and a hankering for gang rape. In this brief bit of glorious b-roll from Falcon’s GayVN-nominated release, Dare, Braxton Bond discovers it’s as simple as ordering a strawberry margarita—with a sugar rim. Ooh la la! We love a good fight scene as much as the next guy, but there had to have been hazard pay for tangling with Matthew Rush’s arms. Are we watching porn or Cloverfield?
Most of us know Mark Kliem as that guy with a camera in his bedroom, a hot tub in his basement and a box of nickels that he uses to lure urchins from the St. Vincent de Paul shelter. We kid, of course — but did you know he’s also a talented sketch-comedy maker? According to Kliem, who presented Lavender Lounge at Outfest in LA, there was a period in the 90s when you could watch his Lavender Lounge TV show anywhere in the fifty states — but evidently we spent the cable money on smack that year. In this signature clip, the delightful Wenda Watch shows us how to make some food, talks about putting pig fat in her hair and consoles her friend Clarice after a long night. It’s not just TV, it’s LLTV!
With his latest video blog, our secret lover Jason Sechrest once again brings us all the decrepit glamour of Cojo’s diseased kidney. When the gossip-for-pay isn’t sending us stalkerish txts at happy hour or knocking at our hotel room door with a tiny baggie and a scat video, he’s sending us 3AM emails from his high-fellatin’ glory hole next to the Abbey dumpster. Our intrepid little nugget crawled out a few nights ago for the Cybersocket Awards and, in a drunken stupor, attempted to tongue kiss Chi Chi LaRue-who burped in his face. Thankfully, it’s all on film. We apologize in advance.
In the latest movie from underground gay cinema auteur Bruce LaBruce, we meet Otto, an un-dead boy with a taste for roadkill, gay sex, violence, and nu-goth Rick Owens outfits. Panned by Sundance audiences and exalted by LaBruce’s radical homo film following, Otto; or, Up With Dead People should be the perfect mix of moodiness and male flesh to get us through the winter. This new extended trailer has us bloodthirsty for more.
We’re not actually old enough to remember much of Anita Bryant, but re-enacting 70s-era gay rights marches in the Castro for the Harvey Milk movie have us thinking about her again for the first time. Props to our homo brethren who came before us for nailing the bitch in the face with a pie during this 1977 interview. We especially love how she says, “At least it’s a fruit pie.” Get it? And we also love how as she’s wiping the cream from her face she’s saving face by saying, “Let us pray for them.”

We generally don’t like other human beings either, but given the choice between Julian in marketing and a headless torso with a detachable penis, well… we’re picking Julian. At least he moans when you stick your finger in. OR SO WE HEAR.
Our last trip to the Adult Entertainment Expo in Vegas resulted in us bringing home a high-energy Latvian, a prescription for Valtrex and a bad case of identity theft. Granted, we may not have gotten it from fingering silicon anuses, but seriously, you don’t know where those things have been!
Why no studio has mined the campy get-lei’d depths of Fantasy Island before now, we have no idea. Leave it to Buckshot Productions to reinterpret the show with Alex Chandler as a lecherous Mr. Roarke and twink gremlin Tory Mason as a nudist Tattoo. Add in a well-stroked cat and a leather-based kidnapping and voila: Fantasy Resorts!
Even though Kathy Griffin is too busy to host the GayVN Awards this year, we still have a feeling it’s going to be a laugh-riot. In this yesteryear clip from the Tim and Roma Show, Sister Roma braves the crowd at the 2007 GayVN Awards so that she can get all of the inside scoop on Kathy from our hopped-up “hot link” Jasmine, before greeting the fabulous Ms. Griffin herself.
One Night Only! One Night Only! Our favorite homosexual suitcase pimp videoBLOOGGGGer is back for the second time in as many days—but like a crack dealer peddling a rock of concrete, he won’t actually let us get hooked. La Curiousity, it seems, doesn’t want us to get used to these daily updates, but he SO doesn’t like the news from GayVN Central about newly announced award hosts Derek and Romaine he just could not stay mum. Watch as he demonstrates, in an innovative blend of manic pantomime, storysong and slapstick, how he and fellow red carpetbagger Angel Benton might improve over the current hosts of GayVN. Hint: Tori Amos medleys. “I’m not a racehorse!” he proclaims in a flawless Judy Garland, but that doesn’t mean the glue factory’s not around the corner! We kid, we kid … just give us an update tomorrow, J.

What is the measure of a man? While some might answer “his cock” or “his bank account,” this trailer from Red Devil Entertainment and co-directors Jett Blakk and Ty Hudson poses some more complicated answers, which apparently have something to do with a wizard cloak, a chess game, a spooky dragon stamp and lots of butt sex. The movie is based (loosely?) on Dante’s Inferno and stars Chad Hunt, Trevor Knight, Trent Atkins, Damon Phoenix, and Eddie Stone.
In Jason Sechrest (alias Jason Curious)’s latest video blog, he sounds off on a defensive blog comment left for him by Jason Ridge of Ridgeline Films. It seems as though Ridge took issue with being brought up in Sechrest’s previous video blog, associating him with Erik Rhodes’ ongoing relationship struggle and bout of public self-loathing. “I consider Erik a friend of mine in this industry and you will not fuck it up,” Ridge declared.
“Something tells me that I won’t be doing PR for him as of this post,” Sechrest responded. “Oh well. He can fire me if he wants. I’ve been good to him and haven’t even told the half of it to you guys — nor do I intend to.” He then went on to post a lengthy and meticulously edited response video to our gross delight and later took it all back. “I spoke with Jason Ridge this morning and he took the video in good humor, saying he’d laughed and watched it a few times. We both apologized for any outbursts,” he blogged in an Update. Whatever the outcome, it doesn’t make Jason’s hissy fit on YouTube any less grotesque and/or funny.
In this classic clip from The Tim and Roma Show, porn star, man-about-town, and village drunk Rod Barry takes to the streets (Castro Street, to be exact) to figure out what the porn-crazed public thinks of performers who are purloined from the hetero- market to play Gay-For-Pay. From “straight” pedestrians naming their prices to opinionated pornophiles, Mr. Barry stops at nothing– except every bar that’s open at 3PM– to uncover the truth.
Resident porn industry drama queen, self-congratulatory friend to the stars, and bastard child of Bobby Trendy and Liza Minelli, Jason Curious, has started a video blog and let’s be real: we’re hooked! In fact, we think maybe Jason has found his perfect medium. He gets to have a one-sided conversation (which is something every queen wants sometimes), burst into random song whether you like it or not, pull those jazz hands out of retirement, and it’s only 5 minutes long! Just when you think that if he says one more word you’re going to slam your laptop shut, it’s over as quickly as it began, and all that’s left is the foggy image of a fairy with too much hair gel dancing in your head.
While electro-torture is nothing new to porn fans (witness Dark Alley’s Gaytanamo or Titan Media’s Folsom Filth), fans of gay independent cinema are in for a shock with Socket, TLA Releasing’s new queer horror flick. Then again, most of you are more perverse that we give you credit for.
While in NYC, The Tim and Roma Show decided to pay a visit to the offices of Lucas Entertainment, where Michael told us about what it’s like growing up with a sophisticated appreciation for fashion, and also took us inside his exclusive wardrobe department. Buy it all on Ebay now!
Porn star, former gubernatorial candidate, and Mariah-Carey-lawsuit victim, gorgeous Mary Carey swings her pendulous breasts by the Tim and Roma Show cameras to discuss her stint in Celebrity Rehab (check your local listings!) and how it helped her kick that gosh darned Xanax habit (as well as the vodka, Jager, wine and Champagne … we think) to the curb! Regardless of oddly-phrased sobriety and failed political platforms, she’s still one of our favorite starlets. Mimi ain’t got nothing on Mary’s raspy vocal talent!
Nevermind the fact that he was once known as Rod Majors on the gay porn circuit nor that his Manhunt profile professes that he can “get into fucking,” preferably “Bottoms who Want to Get plowed”. The real reason Republican convert and Marine reservist Matt Sanchez is fielding lascivious phone calls from a supposed horned-up gay in Iowa? Why, it’s because it’s really an undercover gay jihadist trying to defame him! How said jihadist got Sanchez’s number, why he allegedly recorded the conversation and sent it to Sanchez, and the fact that our Republican hero asks for sexy pix notwithstanding, we’re certain that our former Rod is truly the victim of a stalker. What is the world coming to?
Before announcing their divorce from COLT Studio Group, real-life couple Adam Champ and Carlo Masi sit down on The Tim and Roma Show to talk about their partnership with the studio, and Sister Roma gushes about how they define the COLT aesthetic for the modern day. Oops! For more of this episode, check out the archived episode on TimandRoma.com!
Keep them away from bright lights. Don’t get them get wet. But most of all, you can never, ever let a twink drink after midnight. While bouncing on a bed with a pool cue at Monday night’s Cybersocket Party in Vegas, CockyBoys contract star Tory Mason gave us and agent Howard (of Fabscout fame), a sobering glimpse into his future.
Raging Stallion presents the trailer for their forthcoming epic, GRUNTS! Starring over 20 stars in 40-plus scenes, this is certainly the title to beat at the 2008 GayVN Awards. Co-produced by NakedSword and directed by Raging Stallion’s Chris Ward.
Raging Stallion’s Man of the Year, Steve Cruz, pulls out his bass guitar in order to prove that he’s capable of stroking more than one instrument. The song is a Stevie original, part of the score for his upcoming RS directorial debut, and already has our pulses racing.
Jason Crew can fuck himself with his own dick. And yes, he does leave
the house less often than the rest of us. (However, we suspect at least
in part it’s because his pot dealer delivers.)
