Blind Date

Just after watching an uncharacteristically satisfying video by the prolific hack Robby D. (Vivid's oldie "Unconscious"), it was back to groansville with this lousy Digital Playground attempt at a rom-com.

Trademarked label contract girl Selena Rose stars as the date arranged for roommate Erik Everhard by stud Manuel Ferrara, after Erik starts moping around the house, losing sleep as Manuel noisily humps sexy babes, including in the first scene the incomparable French import Anissa Kate. Looking at the cover art for the DVD I was taken aback that it looks like Selena's face was put atop Anissa's body to sell the video.

Due to the usual idiotic scripting by director/cameraman Robby, Erik immediately gets Selena to have sex from him but finds out the next day she is too domineering for words, and has got to go. Manuel lectures him on the mistake of not getting rid of the girl immediately after humping (to quote: "Never let them stay the night"), but this contradicts the earlier footage of Manuel's gal Anissa also hanging around the house at breakfast time the morning after their tryst. Robby does not believe in continuity or credibility whatsoever.

So the tired rom-com format has Erik and Manuel intent on solving their problem in getting rid of Selena by having another girl in Erik's life convincing her to take a hike. Brit Porn import Emily B (who visited L.A. to shoot a couple of DP features for Robby back to back with poor results) is enlisted to hump Erik, and even though Robby neglects to include a scene of Selena seeing them the girl is distraught and tearful in the next segment.

Now that she's moping and a wet blanket in the house, they get ever-unpopular (with me, if not with ignoramus porn hounds) James Deen to come over and hump Selena to get rid of her. He succeeds in sex with the star, but Robby just ends it after his money shot, as bored with his story line as most viewers will be by this point.

DP & Robby kept dressing up all-sex content with token, unconvincing "story" material tossed in, but the slide from industry dominance (see: "Pirates" and its sequel) to just another source of wall-to-wall sex junk was well under way.
