We certainly could have different opinions of what constitutes Pornography and that shouldn't put us on different sides of the equation.
One of my sons (a hardened liberal) teaches music at one of the Ivy League schools up in New England.
He and I have had some very heated discussions about this very subject of what constitutes pornography.
He accuses me of being an "Out of Touch Neanderthal".
He may be right on all counts.
Thanks for the back and forth on this subject and you have a great day.

I can't handle another shift. And yet, you persevered. I had to laugh when I saw two more go-rounds since my last post. Someone needs to kill this thing, or at least require that people read all the posts before jumping in. I guarantee that any and all questions and comments on this case have already been made.

Like I said, I'm a masochist, I wanted to see how low the depths of ignorance go.

Hey, my nephew is in film school. (at a Catholic college no less). Evangelicals hate Catholics and people in Hollywood. He is a marked man!

He really wants to do slasher flicks, he loves cheesy stuff like that. Smart guy and its a great private college, he got to interview Quentin Tarantino a few months ago for a project. He geeked out on that.

Very tough business not matter what genre. Highly competitive and no clear career track.

Yeah, he knows, but he is getting a good degree and can always go to grad school.
I have a friend whose dad was lighting specialist for decades, he used to do all the Magnum PI shows, so she grew up in Hawaii.

In my young scuffling years I worked as an extra in a couple films. A hundred bucks a day plus food. Couldn't beat it.

They are always shooting films in Phoenix. We have two productions going on now, a comedy and a terrorist thriller.

This was in NYC. If you got in good with the extra casting director you could go from one film to another for months. Three thousand a month was nothing to sneeze at back then.
Ever hear of Radio Man? A homeless guy that has been showing up on film locations for years. Every director, every star, everybody knows Radio Man. He's even in a couple of movies and TV shows. You'll see him sitting on a bus holding his radio looking serene in the background. He's considered lucky.

I love it.
I hate when extras try to eat up the camera and jostle for a good shot. Usually they don't suceed, but sometimes....
Ever see Russian Ark ? 90 minute movie, filmed in one take on a mile long journey through the Hermitage museum, and there are over a thousand extras, period costumes, live music, etc.
Its a brilliant piece of work, it amazes me every time I watch.

If my feeble memory recalls correctly, the trick to being an extra was to stand next to the prettiest girl and try to pick her up between takes. Usually she was a drama student at NYU or taking acting lessons...but hope springs eternal.

"I want to know, when did pornography become art"
There are thousands of examples of erotic and outright pornographic art predating the antiquity period, some fertility figures going back before the written word.
My opinion on the topic has always been that a vice is something that a person allows themselves to have, be it alcohol, drugs, sex or thrillseaking. Any number of things can be damaging if you allow them to consume you, which is why the concepts of self control and moderation are so important in a free society. I've always considered the thought process of blaming the vice ( sex, tobacco, booze, ect) as a scapegoat for accepting personal responsibility for one's actions
