As you can probably tell by some of the reviews I have here on Nerdly, I am a fan of classic pornography. Between the early 70′s and mid 80′s, there were many classics not just being churned out, but being released with as much care and attention as some of the biggest “legitimate” films of the era. Performers who could genuinely act, directors with actual artistic vision, script writers and talented individuals behind the scenes. These were actual films. Fast forward to today and although there is still some genuine talent, one can’t help but feel that the industry has lost some of its artistry and craftsmanship. Instead of performers who can deliver lines, we now have a pretty face with a shelf life...

It’s apt that the horror genre is only a step up from pornography in the minds of critics, because whenever a porn star attempts to carve out a “mainstream” career, they usually end up in horror pictures.
You could explain that in several ways. You could side with the critics and say it’s because both genres wallow in the same gutter, and seguing from one exploitation movie to another isn’t really much of an achievement. Or you could say that it’s because horror is the most liberal genre, and therefore the most welcoming to performers who would elsewhere be held up to ridicule.
Each view has something going for it, depending on the movie you’re talking about. The nicest thing that can be said about Evil Breed: The Legend Of Samhain (2003), which features Ginger Lynn, Chasey Lain and Jenna Jameson, is that the girls all look good.

The adult film industry is back under the spotlight right now thanks to the release of Amanda Seyfried's Lovelace.
The world of porn and Hollywood have frequently intertwined over the last few decades - Deep Throat became a genuine crossover success, Boogie Nights took inspiration from the '70s' 'Golden Age of Porn' and adult stars have frequently crossed over into mainstream movies.
Digital Spy takes a look at 9 porn stars who went "legit"...
James Deen
The Los Angeles-born actor gained porn prominence for his boy next door looks and prolific output. Before long he'd shot to the attention of American Psycho's Bret Easton Ellis, who championed him for the role of Fifty Shades of Grey's Christian Grey before casting him opposite Lindsay Lohan in his own movie The Canyons.
Traci Lords
Lords knocked out a handful of adult movie appearances before walking away from the industry after making 1987's Traci,...

Pahrump - Call it Hof Vegas. Dennis Hof of HBO’s Cathouse no longer wants me to warn readers that his Bunny Ranch empire is in only Reno and not Las Vegas. He’s bringing his style of adult fun to the outskirts of Sin City. He called up the hotline from the middle of Crystal, Nevada to spread the news. The sounds of hammering and drills came from his end of the phone.
“We’re moving around here and getting some things done,” Dennis Hof said. “I bought two 35 year old rundown, rat trap brothels. What you’re buying is the licenses.”
The two old names were Cherry Patch Ranch and Mabel’s Whore House. The new places are Love Ranch and Dennis Hof’s Cathouse. “Those are name that are synonymous with good times.”
There are no good times for the former owner. He got arrested for bribing a county official.
