It’s Not About the Copious Fake Sex. Really.

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

CULVER CITY, Calif.

THE scene, being filmed on a stuffy and intermittently noisy soundstage, involved lots of talking and lots of groping, as many of them do on the new, soon-to-be-controversial Showtime series “Californication.”

David Duchovny, as the occasionally unpleasant antihero of the show, a creatively blocked novelist named Hank Moody, was fully committed to the moment in spite of a real-life cold and a lozenge-coated throat. He and Amy Price-Francis, playing one of the many wrong-for-him sexual diversions who populate the story lines, were going at it in a full-on lip-locking kitchen-sink clinch.

“I love women,” Mr. Duchovny’s congenitally flippant character said after being accused of just using female partners to distract himself from his continuing writer’s block. “I have all their albums.”

“Sex” on the Big Screen! Wait, Didn’t We Know This?

Friday, July 6th, 2007

Two entertainment Web sites set off fireworks on the Fourth of July with reports that Time Warner-owned New Line Cinema was finally moving ahead with Time Warner-owned HBO on the long-time-a-comin’ “Sex and the City” flick, about two years after the idea was hatched.

“Exclusive Major Sex and the City Movie News!” shrieked TVGuide.com, adding, “It’s the climax we were all hoping for,” and urging, nay begging, readers to post their “sure-to-be-orgasmic” reactions.

Trade paper Variety, meanwhile, vamped that New Line Cinema was “getting in bed with HBO” on the movie “after much foreplay.”

Word of the flick first broke in 2004, right around the time HBO was winding down its six-season-old series about the travails of Manhattan sex-advice columnist Carrie Bradshaw and her three BFFs.

Digital Journal — You’re staying at a hotel and feel like watching a movie using on-demand video. But you’re feeling a tad randy so you decide to check out a skin flick. Little do you know this hotel offers video of live sex through its pay-per-view service.

If an adult entertainment industry insider predicts correctly, this scenario will be reality in the near future. According to the New York Times, Gregory Clayman, the owner of the live-action company Video Secrets, anticipated selling not just videos in major hotels, but also images of porn stars having sex live over the hotels’ entertainment systems.

“We feel that live, right now, is coming of age,” Clayman said during a panel discussion at Internext, an annual trade show for sex entertainment industry producers. “We are planning to make the jump to hotel rooms.”
