Rob Spallone Shoots Interracial Movie
2003-09-26 12:53:39
I walk in before 10AM, 9/26/03, before the first scene of the day - a threeway lesbian scene between white girl Cherry Poppins, dark girl Sah from Madagascar, and black American girl Adora.
Daniel, a French civil engineer, discovered Sah during a work trip to Madagascar. They married. He enjoyed taking nude photos of her. He got her into some amateur porn. Six weeks ago, they flew to Florida and shot for Big Top. Four days ago, they flew to LA and Sah has done four scenes.
I talk to Adora's boyfriend Cory. They've lived together in Seattle two years. Cory says it turns him on when Adora works with other guys. He's done some scenes. He accompanied her on this trip because there are so many porn talent agents who take advantage of the girls. Cory says an agent named Tera left Adora stranded at the Hollywood bus station.
DUC chats with Daniel: "Isn't it weird to have your wife have sex with other men?"
Daniel: "No, it's for work."
Luke: "Was this her idea or yours?"
Daniel: "Both of our ideas. When she was looking at her pictures, she said, Wow, that's good. Also my idea, because I love it. Let's do more. Let's photograph you for magazines."
The first thing I saw when I walked into the house at 10AM was Ron Sullivan joking with a brunette. Later I ask him about her.
DUC to Ron Sullivan: "When did you meet Jynx?"
Ron: "I met her when I shot her at this house a couple of months ago. She lives here. My take on her is that she's smart. When I picked her up at the hotel she was staying in, I said, I will leave it to you to call me and remind me to pick you up. And she called me.
"It wasn't so much what she talked about, but what she didn't talk about as I drove her to the set. I picked her up twice and dropped her off twice, just enough to get people gossiping.
"I took her to breakfast one day. She talked about the practical jokes she likes to do and how she likes to tease the guys. She said, 'Max Hardcore will never shoot me. I'm not dumb enough.' I knew exactly what she meant.
"In our business, women instinctively know that if they are intelligent, they have to hide it. They sense that a lot of guys are intimidated by smart women."
Luke: "Tell me about your trip to New York."
Ron: "The best part of New York is its comeback. I write for yesportal.com. Bartolo wanted me to pick up a copy of New York Hot Sex, a magazine given away at Starbucks. Of course it was sold out. I think the magazine signals that the city has awaken again after 9/11.
"Fifteen years ago, when I lived in the Penn Station, Madison Square Garden area, it was not a safe place to be after midnight. Today it is different. There are upgraded restaurants and more bars than you could believe.
"What has revived it is the no-smoking rule. If you want to smoke, you have to step out to the sidewalk. So now what you see at all the bars is a line of people outside smoking and chatting. It keeps the streets safe. The women are gorgeous. At 3AM, there were people hanging out and talking."
Luke: "What were you doing on the Maury Povich Show?"
Ron: "It was a scam. I was to be the older guy who fell in love with a young dominatrix, only she wasn't so young and she wasn't much of a dominatrix and I'm not much of a submissive.
"There were eight couples, and three were a scam. We were the last shot and I think they're going to cut us out."
Luke: "What's the name of that blonde girl [Cherry Poppins]?"
Ron: "I don't know. Her name is Honey or Sweetheart and the guys are Buddy and Pal."
Rob and Jim operate this house. Porn girls stay here. It's run by Rob's production manager Kenny, who also lives here.
AVN Publisher Tim Connelly Cleans House

Tim Connelly today fired Tod Hunter from AVN. On Monday, Tim fired Wayne Hentai, the DVD editor. Tim wants to bring in his own people.
Tod was a non-controversial, non-confrontational writer. He has a high IQ and a deep knowledge of pop culture. He used to work on the gameshow Jeopardy. He will be missed by many in porn. Tod was a regular at the show now called "DP Tonight" at Digital Playground twice a month.
At first, Tod was thrilled with Connelly taking over as editor and publisher. After a while, Tod became blase. Tod struck Connelly as bored and ready to move on. The stress of working at AVN was killing Tod.
Tod and Tim did not have any clashes.
Tim keeps a short leash. AVN is now a tighter ship, a tenser place, since Connelly took over.
I've not had a chance to communicate with Tod Hunter in weeks.
I remember I first met him on a Saturday afternoon in, I think, July, 1997, at a mansion on Mulholland Drive. It was a Zane orgy with hundreds of people looking on, that was busted up by the LAPD. Tod was running around in bare feet, decrying the police crackdown. Helicopters buzzed overhead.
I suspect that Connelly will shift AVN's focus from features to hard-edged gonzo.
Many suspect this firing will motivate Tod Hunter to go on to do better things. Some are shocked that Heidi Pike is still there and that Mikey Ramone has allowed himself to be castrated. Like Ramone, it was Wayne Heintai's dream job. He was like a pig in slop around all those porn girls.
