A Sexiest® Movie Premiere: Quarantena

We truly live in interesting times, and if there is a genre of entertainment who is known to stay on top of the news and tackle any kind of subject, often from unusual angles, that is... porn movies, of course! It was only a matter of time then before we'd cover some SL adult movie about the most significant event of 2020 (besides Kanye running for President). But don't let this theme scare you off: we're in SL and we do not need to practice social distancing. In fact I am inviting you to a PARTY today Saturday 18th, a MOVIE PREMIERE!

We'll start gathering around 7:15 PM SLT for the first display in-world of QUARANTENA, the newest Filthy Penny Production from Rude Runner Studios. Of course it means it is a Mitzy Broadway movie. Mitzy has been one of the brightest stars on the porn scene not just for the obvious top quality of her filming, but also for her embracing the star system playful dynamic that helps having a 'porn scene' to begin with. The party will then begin with DJ Zuby Gloom at the console. Late entrants will get the chance to watch the movie of course: don't worry about it, as obviously these parties are meant to essentialy celebrate the efforts of the filmaker, staff and cast. And...to meet them and who knows, be part of their next effort!

Because the movie is again a group effort. Starting with Mitzy' staff (executive director Heather Ashford and casting director Rachel Avro) and with everyone on the roster as on screen talent, plus the golden voice of the one and only mr. Rysan Fall. What IS this movie about though? The COVID-19 emergency is no laughing matter, but porn is known for not shying away from any topic in a liberating, apotropaic fashion. Is this movie then a little bit of a farce where people play doctor and crack some topical joke while jumping at the chance to get people to boink, perhaps wearing some misplaced protective gear? Actually, not quite! Sorry, no hazmat suit shagging, fellas. But here's the good news...

As usual I don't want to read deeply into a porn movie script and give myself through my interpretation of the material more 'importance'. It's a super enjoyable porn movie with some of the best visuals that Mitzy put together. Mitzy has been doing some truly majestic and visionary set and costume design in the past, while this is set in our reality and time. However, the focus is truly on the bodies, the lighting, the mood: dealing with a material so close to home made the camera explore the sensuality and the intimacy. A sense of fonder rather than wonder.

The story is simple: in a way there is none, since through the fil rouge of the radio speaker voiced by Rysan the movie explores the way different people around the world deal with the isolation dictated by the safety precautions. We have two people from different walks of life living on opposite sides of the same street in Manhattan, a couple frustrated by the lack of access to Miami Beach, a couple in London dealing with distance regulations in the kitchen, two women having a wild time in lockdown during a safari in South Africa, and finally a sax-and-sex time at the imaginary adult resort "Quarantena" on the Tuscany coast.

To put it simply: the movie is beautiful on many levels. Aesthetically as I already mentioned, but also for its ability to be tactful in its brazen porny handling of the subject matter. It's easy to make a 'porn parody' of anything, it is much harder to depict situations that evoke real intimacy, quirks and deep needs of human beings forced in a less than optimal situation but that go ahead living their lives - particularly beautiful in this sense the first episode, featuring Heather Ashford and Damien Godard in a relationship not physically consummated, and the last one, with Mitzy and Max in the quintessential erotic/exotic dream setting.

Every episode shows a subtly different aspect of human nature and relationships, does it gracefully and sensuously, it has plenty moments that make you smile, even more than flat out arouse, and has a positive and hopeful message even throughout the occasional melancholic moment - and all of this without trying to drive anything home heavily. It has one of the best ending sections too - which may seem surprising since I said that there's no real 'story' - even if Mitzy and Rysan do give continuity to segments. The various characters get to have a very fitting curtain call through mock videos of popular social networks. The 'backstage' feature contributes to the intimate and personal focus on the characters.

There would still be plenty more to say, especially in a movie like this with no large group scenes and with so much screen time and close attention to the various characters, but as usual, watching the movie is the best tribute to this effort. Here's the full credits for the movie, and meet you after the jump as usual!

That's it, folks! But it is only the beginning, actually! You have to watch this movie. And I suggest to do it at the premiere. Come on over for the party, meet Mitzy and the rest of the cast. Remember that parties like this are truly the best way to network. Mitzy's movies have involved a cast of dozens of people, and being part of it is far from an impossible dream. Even if movies are not your focus or you don't think you'd be a good fit (as I said before, you probably are -wrong!-), I still hope you'll consider showing up, since movie premieres are the most unique events for our community, they are sadly infrequent and they help supporting the creators' efforts. Join us at 7:15 PM on site - and we'll have all the fun and music of the pornstar party right after!

And remember to wash your hands! 

A Sexiest® Movie Premiere: Planet of Women

Ready for a trip into the future? Oh, I already used this line actually a couple of these posts ago, but hey, what can I do, sci-fi is inspiring, and Mitzy Broadway is ready to bring another exceptional movie event to the community! I say movie event because, the movie itself is nicely wrapped up and packaged as we speak, and it's time to cap months of hard work with a MOVIE PREMIERE!

Here's then a shoutout for the premiere, happening today Saturday September 14th, at 7 PM SLT for PLANET OF WOMEN, the latest Filthy Penny production (music entertainment will begin close to the usual 8 PM time). It will be a perfect chance for you to dress up and meet the director and the cast! Heck, if you are part of the cast, it'll be a good chance for you to meet everyone else without strange appendages sticking out of your dress ! Yes, because, the women of this planet, are sort of the evolution of the species...

"Again man has destroyed the one thing we needed most, a home.  Their wars and posturing have polluted our ecosystem with devastating radioactive fallout.  So much so that there have been document mutations within the human genome.  With insects no less.  I guess it was just a matter of time until we came to this. Some insects have been known to survive anything.

I met one, a honey bee, in the wastelands.  She was part of a movement to leave this dying world for someplace out there, anywhere out there really.  Anywhere that they would be able to terraform and make into the new world.
She talked for hours about how a group of scientists had it all worked out.  They had been able to find viable rocket parts to build their own ship.  Only problem was that it would only hold  eight people, four women, and four men. 

About a year later I wondered what happened, and I had some time, so I figured I would hop on over there and take a look.
The rocket had gotten them to Planet V, but the whole sling shot idea didn’t pan out so well.  They ended up colliding with a larger asteroid, and with no way off anytime soon, they started their own little society.   The women all survived, but the men weren’t so lucky.  So much for being the stronger sex and all. "
This is just an abridged version of the intro, but you do get the idea! And if you don't, and you are still trying to wrap your head around it all, rest assured, you'll understand the rules of this world soon!

In our chats about the movie, Mitzy jokingly said that at the very least she must have set a record in this movie for "first bug sex in a SL Porn movie". While I am not as big of a SL porn historian to be able to properly certify this Guinness world record, I can tell you it won't take you several pints of the eponymous beer to fancy getting down and dirty with the bugs appearing here. This is the kind of inventiveness and quirk that only SL movies can quite dare to bring to porn.

This may be hardcore sci-fi, but not 'hard sci-fi': the premise of the story is carried out with the levity that would have made Melies proud, as the rocket is launched into space in an ill-advised plan and happens to plop onto a celestial body big enough to host life. The intro takes its time introducing a narrating entity (played once more by the golden voiced Rysan Fall) whose fate, no spoiler, may be linked to the one of the valiant volunteers who leave a dying Earth to start anew somewhere else, and dividing into four factions: Bees, Steam punks, Scarabs, Fembots.

And then the fascination of pure experimentation begins. Mitzy's movies always involve a sizeable cast, and this time the idea of splitting it in four factions allows for a variety of combinations and permutations that truly let her imagination go wild. Clocking in at just over 40 minutes, half an hour of the movie is devoted to joys of sex with never a dull moment or a sensation of repetition, even when the structure of the plot seems headed for it, with each faction being quite literally spawned, and introduced. And well, with everyone being you know, a woman! Oh but girls know how to get their fun, especially when mutations are a factor and tools are abundant.

And not every character belongs to the framing: I need to give more than a passing mention (again without spoiling the story) to the fact that a wild card is introduced in the power struggle tipping balances. "Planet of women" does in fact have a charismatic male actor in a pivotal role, and it's that man Larry Vinaver to be tasked the role of a Yojimbo-like character playing each faction. A honor that shares quite admirably with another addition to the cast, the lovely Shae Bellambi, a talent that has been around the world of porn for a long time and that answered the call pulling the role off admirably.

The movie has four Queens who are indeed at the top of the porn world today, but the cast as a whole is pure porn royalty, even those who have only dabbled in the 7th art briefly or debut with this: the unenviable task to oversee to the complex scheduling of this movie ('aggressive scheduling' as it was dubbed!) was once more performed by casting director Rachel Avro. There would be so much to tell about this movie: a selection of screenshots is already, I hope, pretty telling of the wonders brought by pure set making happening. Being on set at the Aquilae sim has been a true experience.

Special thanks have to go to the executive director (not to mention, gorgeous Egyptian queen!) Heather Ashford, making possible a production that looks and feels great already at first glance. Her collaboration with Mitzy have always produced outstanding results in every aspect, and this is yet another gem in the crown. I realize I said so very little about the direction itself (I particularly appreciated the composition in group shots, for instance), but, you know what, the brilliant visuals deserve being seen in motion, and that's exactly what I want to promote here so, here the credits for the movie, and I'll see you after the proverbial jump for the rest!

And that's all for now! You just have to actually watch the movie, hm? We always say it when it comes to the regular pornstar parties, but a movie premiere is without a doubt a key opportunity for anyone who wants to be in the business: many people that have been in this flick have had a chance exactly because they made their presence, and appreciation, known in the past. And even if movies are not your focus or you don't think you'd be a good fit (you may be wrong there, just saying!), showing up for one of the few events truly specific of our porn universe is a way to support the great effort that moviemaking is, in every aspect. Join us at 7 PM on site - and we'll have all the fun and music of the pornstar party right after!
Every gender welcome, I promise! We have a breathable atmosphere! (bring your own oxygen just in case?)
