Porn with Plot: Difference between revisions

* 1976's ''[http://www.reverseshot.com/article/opening_misty_beethoven The Opening of Misty Beethoven]'' is a sexually-explicit version of ''Pygmalion''/''My Fair Lady''. Unlike later porn "parodies", it is intelligent, witty, and made on a reasonable budget; it's also so well-written and -performed that some viewers feel that the explicit sex gets in the way of the story. It cleverly makes use of its explicit nature not only to titillate, but to lead the viewer into drawing uncomfortable conclusions about Eliza Doolittle in the original.

** Sort-of similarly, 1975's ''Eskimo Nell'' is on the surface the tale of an attempt by a group of schlocky British film-makers to produce a big-screen version of the legendary epic porn comedy poem (featuring an Amazonian heroine who wears down the over-sized manhood of one thug to a thread and then shrugs off his vengeful accomplice's repeated firing of his six-gun up an intimate portion of her anatomy), but in reality is more a genuinely funny and insightful look into British low-budget film-making of the time (leading cast member and writer Michael Armstrong was a real-life veteran of this side of the industry), glossed with some very soft-core sexual shenanigans.

* In the same way that big summer blockbusters inspire hack moviemakers to make schlocky knockoffs in the hopes that confused grandmothers will buy the wrong one as a Christmas gift, they also inspire pornographies. To complement the ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movies, there came out a movie ''Pirates XXX'' (basically, a ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' porn). Where it gets hilarious is that it was then edited into a softcore version for sale to cable networks that didn't run hardcore pornography. It is also [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477457/ among the most expensive adult films ever made.]

** And then they made [[wikipedia:Pirates II|a sequel...]]

* ''Virtual Vegas'' (2001). A woman creates a virtual reality system for sex with simulated people. Her [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] boss fires her so he can keep the profits for himself, then hires thugs to try to kill her. The woman warns that the device needs to be properly tested before it is marketed, which is proven when one guy who uses it goes into a coma. Also, a guy who uses it gets chewed out by his girlfriend for cheating on her, which he tries to claim that it's not cheating because the women are not real.

* ''Room in Rome'', a woman from Spain and a woman from Russia meet in Rome and have an affair. The women discuss art, literature, and their lives, but it soon becomes clear that one or both is lying.
