Yay!
I do rather like the Big Wet Butts series from Brazzers, but that isn't much of a surprise, now, is it? The number of reviews I do celebrating all things asses should make that clear. I also have to credit Brazzers for growing up quite a bit since their days of being internet-only frat boys. They're getting better, though they do still have some faults, and that combination of quality and a bit still yet to go is clear in volume 9 of Big Wet Butts. Item number one on the corrections list for Brazzers is to calm the hell down. In Christy Mack's scene in particular the camera operator is zipping around all over the place, giving me the impression of someone drinking too much Red Bull or perhaps something a bit less legal. Honestly, slow down. This gets into putz territory. Item number two is to stop dressing up each scene with so much premise. Your acting isn't good enough, your writing isn't good enough, and your editing isn't good enough to tell most of this as that in-depth of a story. Keep it simpler and we'll still like you. I'll probably like you more.
Yes, like many of you, Christy Mack is the reason I bought this film. It's nice to get an anal scene from her somewhat away from Mike Adriano's weirdness. Hooray. Generally this scene works, too, though hyper-zoom boy does keep this from being perfect. A calmer approach to moving the camera would be nice. They get most of the positions right, though, so that's cool. It's a pretty good mouth shot in the end, too, and the position they use to build up to it is nice as well. Again, this is pretty damn good, though a few small things could make it that much better still
The next scene? Liza del Sierra. Oh hell yes. Liza is quickly turning into one of my favourites. She's cute, she's dirty, and she's built to perform. Two complaints on the tease sequence: One, why is it that in almost every ass film the director doesn't seem to know how to actually film an ass during the tease? Putting us too far below, like down below her knees, for a camera angle means we can't tell anything of the shape. How can they not realize this? I know that Low Camera Angle Syndrome has completely infested the porn industry, but this particular example is just inexcusable. And it's only for the tight shots, too. From a distance we actually get to look at the awesomeness of her ass. Worse? That low angle plus shooting this outside means everything is lost in shadow anyhow. Honestly, don't just shoot what everyone else shoots. Think and show the talent to us. It shouldn't be that hard. Do I have to move out there and just do it myself? So many bad directors out there these days... Incidentally, LCAS afflicts breast shots in tease sequences, too. The tease just keeps going, and at no point does it get to be different or better. Just end it. And I say that as someone who wants to just sit and stare at Liza. Oh, now it's going split screen. Congratulations for figuring out where that button is. This is seriously pissing me off. Now we move inside, where the lighting is better but the camera angles still suck. Why does this tease sequence keep going, especially with editing that they're trying to make vaguely cool in an irritatingly dub-step kind of way. I don't have epilepsy, but this might be what it feels like to have it. It's like those people who use Prezi in the same way people used to use PowerPoint with all of the sounds and transitions. If you don't know Prezi, people tend to make it a rollercoaster ride to move from slide to slide. It hurts. The remixed video here has much the same feel. It says a lot when Liza is dressed the way I want and she's going to do what I want and I can't even bother to get to the fun parts.
Brazzers is still over-produced, over-thought, and manages to get some of the most important basics wrong. Yes, it's still better than most studios (I'm looking at you, New Sensations/Digital Sin and your painfully overwrought releases), but the fact that it could be so much better and isn't is a massive source of frustration for me.
