He was inducted into the X-Rated Critics Organization Hall of Fame as well as the Legends of Erotica Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the Adult Video News Hall of Fame.
“We are happy to announce our partnership with actor, director and producer Paul Thomas; a pioneer in the adult industry.” stated Mr. Flynt. “We are confident that together we will produce quality films in keeping with the Hustler brand.”
Based in Los Angeles, Thomas is expected to release his first LFP Video on September 1st, 2010. Throughout the next year, the contract outlines the release of six feature films in which Thomas has full editorial control. "For the first time in my long career I am my own boss. I am free to mine the dark recesses of my soul and create the finest line of sophisticated yet truly erotic films on the market. Larry and I have known and respected one another for many years. It makes me very proud to be a part of the Hustler team, “stated Thomas.
“the dark recesses of my soul?” Now that’s funny.
Does that mean less or more outside scenes, I could never figure out if he shot outside a lot to save money on location and lighting. Is Shylar coming with him too? And will the BTS show them actually caring about the work instead of trying to control the munchies. Did Papa Smurf finally realise that Paul really doesnt add much as a director?
I hope PT writes his autobiography one day. It would make for a very interesting read.
Larry’s observations seem most accurate here. PT has acted as if porn was beneath him, or at very best that he was simply bored with it, and his work often shows that attitude all too much.
I think most people watching it will agree with the quote above though: “We are confident that together we will produce quality films in keeping with the Hustler brand.”
Paul was a prick on the Vivid reality show. He did nothing but bitch and whine like a little girl, and then he left when the sex scenes where filmed. An assistant took care of those for him. Paul’s a real ASS-et, ha ha.
That Showtime reality show about Vivid was a farce. Look at that group, other than the all mighty dollar, why would any one want to work with them. Not sure what the purpose was of Gene Ross’ meal ticket Ray Pistol, I think the producers thought it would be the comic relief needed ala Cousin Stevie from the Seymore Butts’ show. Only comic relief was Papa Smurf’s marriage stuff.
u ever heard of Grecian??
