Newseater - Adult Edition

Who is turning L.A.’s Asian-loving black men into zombies and/or murdering them? Why doesn’t Mr. Marcus *69 Ange Venus before following her phone calls into an evil sex trap warehouse? Is Coco Velvett really Asian? Learn this and more as we finally review the aptly titled “Asia Noir 6.”

Asia Noir 6: Evil Sex Trap!

Trent (Mr. Marcus) wakes up in his own body, uncertain of who he is. He sees only the slick suit, the police badge, and the sidearm. He’s in a bad part of Los Angeles, the kind where dreams don’t come true, and he’s getting drunk-dialed by a mostly incoherent Oriental Black Widow (Ange Venus), who beckons the amnesiac into her evil sex trap warehouse.

Her evil sex trap warehouse, I add, where things aren’t as they seem. Sex is happening there. Black men on Asian women sex (Dick James and Lana Violet). And does Mr. Marcus start having flashbacks? Does he know, now, why he’s here?

Asia Noir 6, like the best low-budget porn movies, succeeds because it follows certain rules and does not stray from its own economy. For example, most of the important dialogue is in voiceover, which Marcus delivers convincingly, a late-night DJ mixed with a dude you don’t want to mess with.

The noir aspect is also not overwhelming. Director David Aaron Clark realizes that the audience has to see (please tell this to Wicked Pictures), so the noir is more in the mood and the skin tone of the performers than in the lighting.

In the evil sex trap warehouse, Marcus stumbles on a sexual encounter. His LAPD instincts returning, he mostly watches. But when it looks as if things will get ugly for the Destiny, he acts. But the girl disappears, and now Marcus has murdered Dick James.

Meanwhile, Ange Venus continues her cryptic phone calls. Myself, I would have fled, but Marcus is dogged and patient. He continues patrolling the evil sex trap warehouse until he finds Coco Velvett, who is a secretary “down the hall.” Spookily, Velvett’s hair is down on one floor and up on the next. Ange Venus’ dialogue coach must have been handling the continuity.

Velvett fills Marcus in on what goes on in the building. There’s an Import/Export business on this floor and a porn studio, Velvett whispers, in the basement. Marcus gets himself down there fast, where he meets Myla Montez, who doesn’t have to try too hard to seduce him.

I am not making excuses here, but the awkward readings of heightened dialogue by some of the actresses gently nudges the overall creepiness of the movie. It is rare that bad line readings in a serious porn movie actually work. But here they serve to increase Marcus’ -pardon the pun- disorientation. When working with a limited budget, any tool in the shed is helpful.

Upstairs, a frightened Velvett has dreams about Marcus, even as he works on Montez below (so “below” is Marcus’ work on Montez that she doesn’t take her shirt off). But girls keep disappearing after they’ve been serviced by black men in this movie, and Montez vanishes.

Marcus gets dressed and finds Velvett being throttled by Destiny, a strap-on succubus. He’s not a very good cop. Must call William Bratton and tell him that there’s a homicide detective in L.A. letting nice girls get strapped by ghosts.

Destiny, Montez, and Venus are, you see, an evil ghostly trinity bent on vengeance for a crime Trent committed in the conscious world.

When Trent finally figures it out, things have gone irretrievably creepy, and it is too late. He discovers the part he has played, and why he is at least partly responsible for the events. Of course, the vindictive spirits might have forgiven him, but vengeance is a bitch.

Men coming on each other; Jesse Jane pulling a Belladonna on Belladonna; Wholesale Chinese and Armenian stereotypes; David Aaron Clark eating a turkey leg; Slavery; The delightful squishiness of Shay Jordan (not to be confused with this); About as many sex scenes as there were men on the Edmund Fitzgerald; And “The Biggest Adult Production In History.”

Read our review of “Pirates 2: Stagnetti’s Revenge” after the gap.

Pirates 2: Stagnetti’s Revenge

Here’s how much money went into “Pirates 2.” When I opened the 4-disc box, three crisp hundred-dollar bills slid out. There was a code on Disc 1 that allowed me half off a 2008 Saturn Vue at the Porn Valley Galpins. There were free helicopter rides to the Van Nuys airport, and either Stoya or Riley Steele is contractually obligated to deliver your “Pirates 2″ personally, wearing nothing but your family coat of arms or company logo bodypainted across her eager frame.

But I only speak from personal experience. Your mileage may vary.

A movie of excesses, “Pirates 2″ is also an earnest attempt to be a family comedy – much like the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies were, except with rimjobs in it. There are portions of the script devoted to loyalty, believing in oneself, and sticking up for friends that would not be out of place on “Hannah Montana.” That these elements appear discretely between scenes of guys coming on each other (just from a porn angle, “Pirates 2″ is dirtier and riskier than your average mainstream adult movie) was an uncomfortable marriage of childish themes with very adult ones, as if Digital Playground were trying to let the Sarah Palin demographic know that fisting was “super.”

The first joke told by anyone who writes about porn (and a joke he is under the mistaken impression of thinking he has invented) is the one about the sequels. It goes like this: “Whoriental Sex Academy 4 addresses the vital questions left unanswered by Whoriental Sex Academies 1 through 3.”

“Pirates 2,” on the other hand, really does pick up where its predecessor left off, cannily depending on familiarity with (and perhaps ownership of) 2005’s “Pirates” to figure out who “Serena” was and why Captain Evan Stone and First Mate Jesse Jane are searching the Caribbean for her. (Just so you know, Serena is Janine Lindemulder’s character from the original. She doesn’t appear, Jo-rel or Ben Kenobi-like, in “Pirates 2,” however).

An adventure that leads from Jamaica to the (Armenian owned and operated) slave markets to the high seas to the netherworld, where Katsuni’s magical Blue Pearl reanimates Tommy Gunn’s Stagnetti, “Pirates 2: Stagnetti’s Revenge” really is all over the place, and anyone who expects the story to make sense is, I guess, expecting too much. Ditto for the CGI. The pirate hunters’ animated ship moves through animated water, leaving no shadow and displacing none of it. The massive worm slain by Belladonna is about as realistic as Jesse Jane’s boobs.

But if the big effects are not even to the standards of late-night Sci Fi Channel fare, the sex and the scope of “Pirates 2″ are far beyond what you expect and deserve as average porn consumers. You expect an awful porn script? Here you get one that actually expected something of the actors. You expect scenery chewing from the men? Evan Stone and Steven St. Croix ably comply. You want Jesse Jane and Belladonna to fuck the living daylights out of each other? Check.

Not only that, but the strenuous sex scenes we saw in the theatrical (yes, “Pirates 2,” like its predecessor, debuted in a theatre) release are extended in the DVD set. So the thrill you got to see added footage of Minas Tirith when the “Return of the King” Extended Edition came out you can now feel when you see even more of Belladonna’s colon.

But in other areas the sheer quantifiables of the movie are distractions. The Stagnetti of the title is, despite Tommy Gunn’s performance, useless. He appears toward the end and, as it turns out, anticlimactically. Katsuni’s incoherent black widow character was both evil and had boobs. Stagnetti wasn’t necessary. The same goes for Sasha Grey. Sure it makes sense for Sasha Grey to be in the biggest porn movie of the year, but her presence and character are as tacked on as when everybody in class has to be in the school play, so suddenly Snow White has 40 dwarves.

And why was Shay Jordan not listed on the box? Her performance was wonderful. And why was Stoya only in a group scene? Both are criminal acts. Further inexplicability is achieved in non-speaking, non-fucking roles for Ange Venus and Adrianna Nicole (”I fell asleep on set,” Nicole said.)

Regardless, we persevere. We remember that “Pirates 2: Stagnetti’s Revenge” is a porn movie – and an excellent porn movie - with all the usual limitations even if, as shouted from the boxcover, it is “The Biggest Adult Production in History.” We still have four DVDs worth of delightful, turgid nudity.

“Get on that carpet!” growled Max Hardcore to his jittery arm candy as a strolling Mexican family observed. “They need to see you!” The event was the “Pirates II” premiere at downtown L.A.’s jewel box Orpheum Theatre this weekend, and the adult industry was on notice that if they didn’t attend they would be kicked out and banished to perform random blowjobs in Vancouver. Vancouver, Washington, no less. That is why Fleshbot West attended, and brought you the following report.

The biggest American adult industry event prior to January’s AVN Expo, the “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” premiere attracted most of the movie’s stars including Jesse Jane, Katsuni, Stoya, the sylphlike Riley Steele, Evan Stone, Tommy Gunn, Steven St. Croix, and David Aaron Clark, seen here with Jandi Lin, whose process in his pivotal whore-negotiating scene involved eating two turkey legs.

“I was there for two days of shooting,” he said.

The premiere marks the midpoint of “Pirates”-related marketing and publicity, coming more than three years after the debut of its predecessor’s first press release and three years before the collected weight of all its publicity efforts will sink the Pacific Rim (which, considering the analingus involved in this movie, would have made a good subtitle).

The only porn stars to arrive dressed like pirates were the swashbuckling Nicki Hunter and Tommy Gunn, the Stagnetti of the title, who wore his evil glass eye.

“I wasn’t in the movie much,” he said. “But I’m hoping for a Supporting Actor nomination,” Gunn said.

“But you were the title character,” we observed. Hollywood is so unfair.

Former Digital Playground contract performer Teagan prowled the red carpet for XBiz which, like rival AVN, now features video interviews. If only Sophia Santi and Janine had been there, it would have been a “Pirates” reunion.

Other porn luminaries in attendance were publicity magnet Kayden Kross, Aiden Starr, Bobbi Starr (no relation), Ringo Starr (not actually there), Satine Phoenix, Jenna Haze, and Sasha Grey, who came dressed as Sasha Grey.

As usual, Ange Venus, who plays the inscrutable Katsuni’s henchwoman in the movie, attracted most of the attention on the red carpet, wearing almost nothing but her hair. Katsuni by comparison dressed very elegantly. It was as if Venus was going to the MTV Awards and Katsuni to the Golden Globes.

This reporter spent so much time outside that he did not get in on the free bar in the lobby, but by then the movie was starting. The crowd cheered as the first popshot broke over Shay Jordan’s prow. We’ll give you a review of the movie, that may or may not include the blurb Belladonna is salad tosseriffic!, soon.

As we’ve mentioned on Fleshbot several times in the past, reclusive writer-director David Aaron Clark is to Asian women what Nacho Vidal is to transsexuals. So when Metro Interactive bought out ethnic niche company Video Team they continued to allow the master to helm the “Asia Noir series he has so lovingly (and compulsively) crafted over the years. That was a very wise decision indeed. (Which is something we don’t get to say very often when discussing porn.)

Despite its title, however, “Asia Noir 6″ isn’t just for Asianophiles only: its racially transcendant cast stars Coco Velvett, Ange Venus, Destiny, Lana Violet, and Myla Montez in a “Memento”-style thriller about a cop suffering from amnesia, a naïve secretary, and a predator driven to the depths of delusion by one of his victim’s ghosts. And it all goes down in a creepy deserted building a la “The Shining”. Clearly, this is no “Me Love You Long Time” or “Sushi Munching Lesbos 2″.

Given his abilities as a writer (which at least equal any accomplishments he has been recognized for as a director), we’re certain that Clark could have come up with something better for the box copy than the tagline “Vengeance Is A Witch”. Still, if the stills below are any indication of what “Asia Noir 6″ has in store, we’re pretty sure you won’t be paying much attention to the box copy anyway.

As the lithe Audrey Elson might tell you, sometimes the best outfit is no outfit at all. Lounging on the set of the Anabolic production of director Ivan’s “Creampie Explosions 3″ (Yes, they said it couldn’t be made), the 5′10″ Elson makes a good case for never wearing anything again. Join us after the gap for more popshots, in which we show porn stars not as the world sees them but how they really are.

Elson and Sascha - America’s hardest-working male German porn performer! - discuss an issue common to every couple: whither creampie?

Across town, tiny Destiny dons a kabuki mask and a strap-on (read my article in September’s Atlantic Monthly: Rejected Kiss Army Accessories) for David Aaron Clark’s “Asia Noir 6.”

The striking Coco Velvett slowly melted into that couch for the next 45 minutes as Destiny turned into a demon.

In posh Bel-Air, bite-sized Teagan modeled her new breasts for photographer Holly Randall. “They actually bunce when I run,” said Teagan.

Meanwhile, Roxy DeVille says, “Hello, Fleshbot Readers!”

“People would tell me about your ass, Teagan, ” said the towering DeVille, “but I really had to see it to believe it. Oh My Fucking God.”
