"respectable pornography"

There's a misnomer if ever I saw one. The only way those 2 words go side by side is the day a porno wins "Best Picture" at the Academy Awards.

I don't disrespect people who work in the porn industry. However, naivety aside, unless you are lucky enough not to have to deal with Protestant America, your'e better off not going down that road.

Midnight Cowboy received Best Picture in 1970 according to imdb. This movie can hardly be considered pornography by today's standards, but it was about a male prostitute and rated X.

The only difference between porn and art is the lighting :)

And the plot.

And the quality of the plastic surgery.

And the quality of the set.

And the hirsuteness of the male "models" (ugh).

Anatomie L'Enfer is a good mix between both.

Pirates 2: Stagnetti's Revenge was absolutely hilarious. Like a comedy, with free porn.
