Interview: Director Paul Thomas

Interview by Corva Siouan

Throughout a porn career that has lasted over 35 years, Paul Thomas has racked up more than 600 titles as a performer and over 325 as a director. The word “legend” is used often when describing him and rightly so. Last year Thomas left Vivid Entertainment after almost 25 years of directing for them exclusively, and last July he signed a six-picture deal with Larry Flynt’s LFP Video. Thomas moves into a new and different phase of his career at age 63.

Born Philip Toubus on April 17, 1947 in Winnetka, IL, Toubus found mainstream acting success on Broadway with a starring role in Hair and played Peter in the 1973 film of Jesus Christ Superstar. He signed with the William Morris Agency, moved to Hollywood, and landed roles in TV shows such as “Mannix” and “Police Story.”

Frustrated with competition and impatient for success, Toubus grew disenchanted with mainstream Hollywood. While in San Francisco performing in a musical, he met the famous Mitchell Brothers (“Behind the Green Door”) in 1974. It was the height of porno chic and Toubus found the adult industry appealing, so he began appearing in film loops for the Mitchell Brothers. In 1976 he did his first XXX feature, “The Autobiography of a Flea,” which was based on an 1887 erotic novel. Through the ’70s and ’80s, Toubus was one of the perennial porn studs. He mainly used the name Paul Thomas (aka PT), but aliases included Grady Sutton, Russell Ellison, Phil Tobias, and Paul Tanner. Thomas mostly stopped performing after he began directing in the mid-’80s, although he has appeared in non-sex roles.

Thomas is the most award-winning director in the industry, with spots in the AVN, XRCO, and Legends of Erotica Halls of Fame as well as countless trophies for his individual works. In the last decade alone, he’s won Best Director and Best Film at AVN five times each. Thomas’ mainstream notoriety includes the Showtime series “Deeper Throat,” which documented the struggles he and Vivid had with remaking “Deep Throat” as 2008’s XXX murder mystery “Throat: A Cautionary Tale.”

One of Thomas’s recent films is “The Twilight Zone Parody,” released this past August by Paul Thomas Presents and Hustler. We spoke with him about his past, his present, and his future.

“The Twilight Zone Parody” takes a different approach to parody from most, which are simply copying plots from the original.

This actually was based on a “Twilight Zone” episode called “Monsters on Maple Street,” but instead of swingers moving into the neighborhood they were aliens. It is a different approach… I don’t like to be silly. I don’t think silly makes good pornography, I don’t think silly makes good eroticism, and I didn’t want to have to copy characters. I copied a style and I copied a tone and an era, even, but I wanted to have to copy as little as possible. My heart’s not in the parodies, what can I tell you. If it’s successful I’ll do another “Twilight Zone.”

Mandingo Size Does Matter (West Coast Productions)

Some would argue it’s not the size, but how you use a cock that really makes the difference. That may be so, but the fact remains a tiny cock, even one that pushes maximum efficiency, can’t stimulate what it can’t reach. That means these girls, all of whom love the feeling of a fallopian flesh skewer driving up inside them, need a guy like Mandingo to hit all the right spots. And, boy, does he ever.

What is a Mandingo, exactly? It’s hard to say, but it’s guaranteed that Summer Bailey, Sunset Diamond, Ashley Edmonds, Leeza Lovette, and Sephora Amor will know it the next time they feel it. They say that big things come in small packages. Sometimes, though, they cum all over them too.

America’s Top Tranny 8 (Goodfellas)

“Top Tranny” is an interesting choice of terms for the eighth volume of this popular series. As it so happens, Morgan Bailey gets in on with a woman for the first time, giving the pairing a whole new meaning.  It seems the lovely Carrie Ann has a case of the greenies, getting all jealous over about a slick-talking camera guy. Carrie has blissfully wished for a girl to fuck for quite some time and she finally gets half of what she wanted.

As far as trannies go, they don’t come much cuter or harder than Carmen Moore. Just ask Christian XXX who pounds Carmen’s tight butthole and cums into Carmen’s mouth after sucking a little cock himself, getting some oral pleasure and a bit of ball sack sucking satisfaction. Say that five times fast! For the record, no matter how quickly your tongue forms syllables, Foxxy will turn you on quicker with her solo work. In this one, she models, fondles her tits and masturbates for your entertainment.

ATT 8, like the other installments, will take you on an invigorating trip to tranny town. Just be sure to cast your vote for your favorite!

Young Harlots: Foreign Exchange (Harmony Films)

Harmony Films brings to you a film with tons of discord. Well, it’s not really Harmony’s fault. The problem is these young scamps, off in a foreign land all by their lonesome, simply haven’t learned basic survival skills. They barely know how to tie their shoes, complete their homework or sneak out to parties without finding dicks in their asses. They learn some hard lessons in the finer art of higher education,  with massive emphasis on the word “hard”.

There is so much great action in this one it’s almost impossible to cover it all. Let’s just say that in compiling a list, we’ve left out the generic stuff to make room for threesomes, fingercuffing, anal fucking, domination, double penetration and jousting that takes place. In the end, the headmaster is pleased at their progress, though it appears the girls are the true masters of head. Do not skip out on this one. Let this be your warning bell.

Featured Studio: Cal Vista Pictures

As a top producer of sensual, couple-friendly porn since the 1970s, Cal Vista Pictures has been home to some of the best XXX features of recent decades. The studio, a line from industry powerhouse Metro Media Entertainment, continues to release great new plot-based porn titles that seem destined to become future classics.

The latest release is “Blu Dreams 2,” a totally stunning collection of female fantasies that achieve the heights of ecstasy for performer and viewer alike. Just over two hours long, it features scenes from twelve of today’s most beautiful women in porn, seducing you through the screen while they reveal their hottest sexual dreams. There are lots of masturbation titles around, but this one will blow you away.

Summer 2010 saw the release of “Alice,” an unforgettable, must-see hybrid of eroticism, art, and adult humor. It’s a retelling of the Lewis Carroll “Alice” stories with an appropriately skewed perspective. Director Erica McLean found the perfect hardcore Alice in Sunny Lane. Don’t let the fact that it’s a feature fool you into thinking these scenes are tame – far from it! Sunny has three phenomenal scenes with some of the industry’s leading men, including an inspired Evan Stone as the Mad Hatter.

Those are just the latest in a long line of Cal Vista titles that go above and beyond the currently wall-to-wall sex norm. For years, the studio has been putting out movies that will especially appeal to couples. In 1993 a Paul Thomas feature for Cal Vista called “Justine: Nothing to Hide 2” won acclaim and awards, including XRCO’s Best Film of the Year, thanks to its signature Thomas blend of emotional depth and gorgeously filmed sex scenes.

A year later, Cal Vista released “Zazel,” a blockbuster adult feature that won seven AVN Awards and inspired knockoffs. Visually groundbreaking in its day and still stunning today, “Zazel” is packed with beautiful Penthouse Pets in mostly girl/girl action but it ends with a scene that includes anal and DP for those who’d like something harder. When the Pets appeared in “Zazel” it was the first time most of us got to see them doing anything remotely hardcore, so it was a turn-on to see them in action.

In April 2000, the feature “La Femme Chameleon” brought together an interesting plot, some porn legends, and more visually stunning filmmaking, resulting in a great couples movie that got the AAAA rating from AVN. A married couple discovers that the wife has developed an intriguing condition that causes her to morph into a different woman after each orgasm, meaning that the hubby gets to fuck such babes as Nina Hartley and the late legend Anna Malle before it’s all over.

Cal Vista Pictures continues to make us all hot and bothered with some of the finest erotic imagery ever caught on film. Guys, get your girls to watch a CVP title with you and you just might find she does like watching porn after all!

Amy Fisher Talks ‘Deep Inside’

via our friends at xBiz

NEW YORK — Amy Fisher admits that doing porn scenes is “a little bit surreal.”

The New York native who has lived most of her adult life in the public eye recently made her professional adult movie debut in “Deep Inside Amy Fisher,” which is available now on the AEBN Network.

“These are beautiful men, just meeting them is exciting anyway,” Fisher told XBIZ. “I wanted to do a really good job filming. I didn’t want to be difficult. I wanted everything to go really smoothly. I have a lot of vested in this.”

Fisher, whose amateur porn video “Amy Fisher Caught On Tape” sold upward of 200,000 copies worldwide after its release in 2007, exclusively partnered with the recently launched Dreamzone to shoot eight films over the next two years.

The notorious Fisher hand-picked the all-star cast for “Deep Inside,” working with the likes of Tommy Gunn, Marcus London, Dale DaBone and Lisa Ann in her first professionally produced XXX effort. Fisher took on Evan Stone, among others, in her second movie, shooting enough content for her first three films during her summer trip to Los Angeles.

“I filmed with a lot of different people when I was out there,” she said. “They’re very sexual movies, exploring more of Southern California and my sexuality. I’d like to get into more of the parodies but right now these movies are strictly hardcore sex. They won’t disappoint.”

The demand for Fisher to do porn has been steady on the heels of the huge sales figures her sex tape generated. Her naughty softcore pay-per-view special — “Amy Fisher: Totally Nude & Exposed” — also added to the buzz last year.

“Every major adult entertainment company in the world at one point has wanted me to do something with them in the last two years because that amateur DVD sold phenomenally well,” Fisher said. But the mother of three waited for the right situation before making the move because she wanted to do porn on her own terms.

“Dreamzone Entertainment has been good to me. They let me pick who I want to work with and I get 50 percent of the profits,” Fisher noted.

Dreamzone spared no expense on the productions, hiring what essentially was the entire Club Jenna crew to shoot Fisher’s exploits. Adult veteran Jim Enright produced and directed.

“All the guys came in with Club Jenna t-shirts. These were all the Club Jenna guys,” Fisher said. “Jenna doesn’t do movies any more but they still need to be employed.”

Once dubbed by the New York media in the early ’90s as the “Long Island Lolita,” — a nickname she doesn’t like to this day — Fisher served seven years in prison after shooting the wife of her then lover Joey Buttafuoco when she was 17. Not long after her release from incarceration, Fisher became a columnist for the Long Island Press, writing something for print every week without even having formally trained in journalism.

“I had a BBA in Marketing, go figure,” she joked. “I wrote human interest columns on controversial issues — you pick a side. I interviewed famous people, which was kind of cool. I did a little of everything. I did that for almost five years. But that was hard for me. It was actually a blessing when it ended, I was happy.”

Fisher last year embarked on what quickly became a popular feature dancing tour that is ongoing. “I love it,” she said, adding that her next booking “is wherever my little dancing shoes will take me.”

So far her legion of fans has been giving her plenty of feedback on her decision to pursue porn.

“They’re thanking me for doing it,” Fisher said. “I’ve gotten only positives. So far it’s gone really well.”

Fisher, who still receives a royalty check every month for her amateur sex tape, calls her adult entertainment career “the greatest job in the world.”

Also a published author — she wrote a book called If I Knew Then… in 2004 — she says she likes living in the moment.

“Life moves on for everybody. I kind of just live for the here and now,” Fisher said. “It doesn’t turn out how you expect. If someone would’ve said I’d be a porn star five years ago I wouldn’t have believed them.”

She added, “I feel really honored to be doing this. There are a lot of really pretty girls that pound the pavement for years and get no recognition. And because I get a ton of mainstream press I was able to come in at a higher level. So I feel very fortunate and I don’t take it for granted.”

Blow Him & Then You Can Fuck Me 3

What would you be willing to do to get a shot at the hottest pussy around? Would you give up your car? How about your house? Would you lie, cheat or steal? Would you forfeit future rights to any and all Klondike Bars, despite having already done a bunch of crazy shit to get those?  Could we possibly ask any more questions?

The fellas in this movie are fully prepared to go beyond indecent proposals, resorting to cock dog eating contests just for chance to score with the babe of their dreams. Imagine taking a truckload of humiliation and a face load of cum, all for the sake of a fleeting few minutes with some maliciously mal-aligned femme. I mean, at least get some cash out of the deal. No, it won’t buy back your dignity, but it would at least get you a nicely forged man card to replace the one that will surely be revoked after your dick-drunk hangover passes.

Blow Him and Then You Can Fuck Me 3 is Indecent Proposal without the money, bi-fucking without the remorse and wimpy, cuckolded men without the spines. That’s a deal you can’t possibly refuse.

It’s a Mommy Thing

Not that porn gets talked about around the water cooler on  Mondays, but if there were some water cooler chat that needed to be chatted about in regards to It’s a Mommy Thing, besides an appearance by smoking hot Kristal Summers, porn legend Nina Hartley’s return to Elegant Angel, MILF extraordinaire Nicole Moore sporting a backpack, the two scenes with threesomes, Angelica Sin’s teaching spicy teenager Alexis Love how to suck cock like an adult, or how this blog entry seems hellbent on trying to say what it needs to say in a single sentence, it’s Patrick Collins’ hatred of couches.

Here, Collins goes out of his way to supplement the ridiculous beauty of his female subjects by non-conforming to the most bland and ubiquitous of all porn props. Instead he concentrates his faculties on creativity, chemistry, and cumming, especially on the part of the women.

IAMT, according to the box blurb is an “assemblage of the most beautiful and depraved MILF’s in the industry…a sexually sophisticated depiction of fantasy role-playing at its best.” Translation: This movie is ranked #3 in our most-watched movie of all-time category. It is time you found out why.
