Caution: Premise Alert and Bad Camera Angles
I text. Quite a bit as it turns out. I checked my phone, and I've sent or received several hundred texts so far this month. And I've used a total of 6 minutes on voice calls. I hate talking on the phone. Hate it. I can't see the person and that makes context so difficult for me. I also once had a job where I got yelled at for most of the day on the phone, so you can probably understand my reticence. I also use proper punctuation and spelling when I text. I work as a writer. I know language changes over time. But the shortcuts that we're starting to throw around, and the rate at which they change within certain discourse communities, is beyond what we should be then using for general communication beyond that in group. Like here. The title here has two annoying acronyms, and worst of all, it would have to be coming from the older male rather than the hot young little thing. Damn is that ever an amazing photo of Lola Foxx. Sorry, what was I saying? Oh, right, the phone thing. Yeah, the random additional acronyms on the main menu screen are bad. Stop. But you see, Devil's has to keep using the phone. It is their favourite plot device. With a phone, you can setup a plot as complicated as you like and you don't have to build that set or cast those roles. I should start doing the math to figure out what percentage of their scenes use phones for plot. It has to be at the very least one third. Also, the music on the menu screen sounds like someone's Atari threw up. We start with Mia Gold. Mia's not at all hard to look at. Actually, I know someone who looks a great deal like Mia. One annoyance is how badly they honk up the cowgirl and reverse cowgirl shots. The camera is soooooooo low! Bring that back up. Otherwise it's just a penetration shot with a head floating back there somewhere.
Those shots are supposed to show off her body; other positions are there for the penetration zoom. Grr. My biggest pet peeve in porn, because it's fucking up their own product and they don't even realize it. They have no imagination beyond the act of penetration sometimes. A great facial ends this one, though, so it isn't all bad. Skylar Green is new to me, and she does alright. A bit on the timid side, it seems, so maybe there's a learning curve underway here. There's definitely the right raw material here for her to be a star, though. They managed to get the angle wrong on some otherwise great spoon fucking. They almost had it right, as that's a great chance to look at her body while she's getting fucked, but they were too far towards the bottom, making sure to not miss a bit of penetration. This means her leg was kind of in front of her for a lot of this. These aren't hard things to fix. Really. Another good facial. Lia Ezra has the same stuff going on in her scene. In fact, hers has the worst bit of low camera syndrome during her reverse cowgirl segment. I swear the camera is on the floor. It's like they don't want us to see her. Facial. But I would have liked to actually see the talent more. Lola's scene is generally quite good. Same camera bullshit, but otherwise it's more than fine. I just don't get why they can't get something this simple right. It's just bad filmmaking, nothing more. Maybe it's a sign when they can't even spell boner right (check the back of the box cover, upper right-hand corner). Also note that they have to have "BFF" in every bit of description text. All of this together tells me they get a bit obsessive about a concept once they attach themselves to it, whether its penetration at the expense of, you know, everything, or its killing whatever the premise of the film is. These are the things Devil's has seemed to be trying to leave behind as they move to being a more prominent label. Hopefully they take a close look at this one and realize it's part of the problem.
