In addition to a teeny-tiny cheapo flat-screen and DVD setup, I also
have two VCRs. There’s still so much cool, old porn—for way
cheap—on VHS. Sometimes it’s nicer, in the same way you often
look better in a color-saturated fuzzy Polaroid than in an ultra-sharp
digital photo. Sometimes we just don’t need all that information. I
mean, we could tell Linda Lovelace had no gag reflex on VHS. John
Holmes—do we even WANT to see that in high-def?
HD DVD is definitely here to stay, though. And now the American porn
industry is dipping its big slutty toe in the Blu-ray pool. That’s
right, here come extreme coochie close-ups on crystal-crisp Blu-ray.
The Japanese are already all over it, but we’re just getting started
stateside. There’s only one title available for purchase right
now—2005’s gooey all-girl gangbang, the Jenna Haze Oil
Orgy—but almost available, pre-orders only, is the brand-new
punky Eon McKai version of Debbie Does Dallas. His version, with
hotter-than-hell newcomers Tommy Pistol and Dana DeArmond, is called
Debbie LOVES Dallas. Will it be worth it? I might have to buy a
better TV to find out.
