Thanks to the changing world, movie studios everywhere are starting to feel the pinch of higher budgets and lower returns.  Nowhere has the internet done more damage than to the adult film industry.  Piracy is rampant, and the old ways aren’t cutting it anymore, so it’s time to turn up the spectacle.  While 3-D was good for Playboy centerfolds, there needs to be more for filmed erotica.  Enter 3-D Sex & Zen: Extreme Ecstasy, the world’s first porn film shot in IMAX 3-D!

“Somehow when you’re doing a 3-D movie you always want to make an impressive image because the viewers … are going to buy tickets with double or even triple the ticket price to get into a world they’ve never seen before,” said the film’s director, Christopher Sun.  “It’s not just erotica, they want some ‘wow factor!.'”  Sun hopes that his film can kick-start a lucrative IMAX 3-D erotica trend thanks to that spectacle.

Unfortunately, that spectacle comes at a cost, as shooting in IMAX 3-D requires both IMAX-quality cameras and film, but also different lighting, set design, and lenses.  Oh yeah, the film also has a budget of $3 million dollars, which is astronomical by adult film standards.  However, that hasn’t stopped other companies from jumping on the 3-D porn bandwagon:  Hustler plans on making a 3-D adult spoof of Avatar, while Tinto Brass plans on marketing a 3-D version of his 1979 film Caligula.

Let’s just hope they stop before they get to 4-D movies.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
