how many zfx movies with her have you seen?

What 2 things do you like best about zfx video? What 2 things do you like least about zfx video?

Why am I asking? might be enlightening. Do you have to limit yourself to 2: No. now discuss :)

A) "...how many zfx videos have you rented? 2 fav's?..." never rented. Wish I could in my area, but none to be found. IF I could rent 2, I guess "SOB 3 and BlountTrauma 3" - hadn't seen 'em, but like what previews I have seen - Christina Anderson's electrical spread & Penelope Pace's ordeal.

B) "...how many...own? 2 fav's?..." 14 ZFX/Shockwave titles. Tough call on favorite 2, though I would have to say Fair Warning and SOB4...Enjoyed watching Tabitha Jordon gang stuffed in FW, and Christina Anderson's cell-bang and screams/whimpers in SOB4 - yeah, yeah - true perv!

C) "...interested titles not yet bought? Most wanted...?" Man! All of 'em! I guess "SOB 6 or 7 and BTrauma 2 or 3". (I know that's 4, but hey, it's my only answer).

D) "...favorite ZFX actress and her movie?" I have always enjoyed watching Penelope Pace tied, banged, tortured and humilated since I've purchased my first ZFX-Minced Meat. Then I've tried getting all of her titles-when she was blonde, that is..though nothing wrong with her hair in Guilty series. I have about 6 of her vids so far. She has a great pair of tits, curves and legs and can gargle and gag loud! She does play the part well, IMO, (though I haven't yet seen SOB6/7 with Elaine Payton yet!!). Penelope shows great expressions of fear, though she can put up a fight in some of her movies, which I'm not too much of a fan of those scenes... She's hot playing the victim/abducted type, with sexy skirts, dress, tight blouse's and looks great in heels. Just right for abduction, tight ties, spread tortures and banging at both ends.

Ok, I like ZFX for pushing the envelope more than once, IMO. Earlier vids seem to show suggestive penetrations, then quickly change scenes, though forced oral seems not to be much of a prob. Later vids seem more daring with insertions of objects, though of course fake penis'.

Least liked about ZFX? None that stand out fiercly...but I guess Rick could try to show each victim portrayed is not only taken, tied and whipped, as well as tortured to some degree, but definitely more penetration and forced oral throughout the movie (ie, "The Plant" - almost every different scene had TJordan raped by the plant or villains). I also like the vids with more than one male villain on one female victim. Otherwise, ZFX seems to be going well - just hope these new moves by other producers won't influence Rick to hide away. Can't wait for some Classic's remakes - BWR in particular! My 2 cents and more....

Greetings! Long time reader and ZFX aficionado, first time poster. As to Scribbler queries: Never rented ZFX but own about 20, almost all bought at discount (2 for $25.) Favorite actress is Lisa Kinkaid--most consistently attractive and hot. (And reading those interviews with her greatly exacerbates her appeal.) Fave vids & scenes are 1) Lisa on knees, roped upright & tape gagged at beginning of "Hard Down Easy." 2) Lisa spread on bed & tape gagged 10 minutes into "The Incubus."

As to breast bondage, Rick rules! The only guy close (but does stills only) is Andy Adler. There IS an interesting B&D Pleasures vid called "Adler Shoots" (from '91 I think) with some stills suitable for video capture, but mostly being him & 2 models shooting stills.

I've been previously fortunate in my personal life to have had romantic relationships with some great and brave women willing to indulge and explore my penchant for bondage. Initially apprehensive, they each ended up enjoying many aspects of the experiences - as, needless to say, did I. Take care to be gradual, careful, safe, and get consent at every stage. The rewards can be transcendental!

Custom Vid
After reading BBFans notes about getting a custom video, I became very interested in having one made for myself. Don't have time for a long post, so I will try to keep it short and sweet. Wish I had $2000 to get a more professional work done, but for the bargain price of $350, I am really happy with the work done by TheBondageChannel.com. I picked them simply because of about 10 websites that I sent my script to, theirs was the only response suggesting that they actually read it. Keep in mind that for $350, you are basically paying for about an hour of a model and cameraman's time. Nevertheless, the model, Raquel, sold the scene better than a lot of more professional models. And the guy that did the work really put on a class act. The lighting, sound, and picture were very good. As soon as I ordered, they let me order 2 free DVDs from their site to enjoy while I waited. They made a photo CD with about 100 stills taken during the shoot. They even tried to help me find some very specific costuming that I wanted. The DVD and photo CD even arrived with labels in a dual CD case. I'm happy with the final product and would order from them again.

Do keep in mind that I kept the script simple - more about roleplay and costuming. If you write them looking for extremely intricate breast bondage, it's probably gonna run you more than the basic $350.

Hope this proves helpful.

Yeah, I contacted them after reading your post about them, and they did come in cheaper for the type of action I requested than others, $800 if they can sell it on their site, and $1,100 if not. (Unfortunately, we are tapped out of disposable funds right now, so we can't pursue anything with them at the present time) This is excluding any travel, etc, but it is still cheaper than the other sites. Although I must say that the $2,000 you refer to is the MOST I have been quoted, and it was for two female victims and one female domme, with travel for both victim models. It would have been more like $1,200 for a simpler script and no travel. The biggest hurdle to getting the kind of video we want done is finding the right model, so travel is often involved.

I am glad you got a custom done for a very reasonable price, and we might work wuth TBC in the future - thanks for the input.

But since we get to pick two, my second favorite would have to be South of the Border 4: Atrocities. It was a tough call, but how can I possibly leave this one off the list? It's wall to wall torture and rape scenes, every one of them good, and most of them great. This is the one where Lisa Kinkaid gets hung upside down and dunked into a barrel of water, and shocked at the same time. She also gets bullwhipped, and zapped with a stun gun until she pisses uncontrollably. And don't forget such honies as Christina Anderson and Kelly McKay also do their fair share of suffering. I think it's one of Rick's best efforts, and it wouldn't surprise me to see this one end up on other people's lists, as well.

Favorite ZFX actress and why: Aw, I get to pick only one? After a hundred plus ZFX vids, I would be hard pressed to narrow it down to just one ZFX babe. And my answer would probably change from day to day. But for tonight, I'll go with Monica Moore, because she's so damn hot, and because she has those big tits, and because I love to hear her scream. Pick any Monica flick except for Incubus 2 and you'll have a winner; best of all is her twin showcase The Reporter and Gangstarr: Reporter 2.

2 things I like best about ZFX: Again, hard to narrow it down to only two. But I would have to say number one is the women that Rick has cast in his shows from his earliest tapes through his current work. For the most part, no tattoo freaks, and generally pretty, often gorgeous girl-next-door types, exactly the kind of girls I like to see bad things happen to. Hiring the right girls is such an important aspect of the process. If you don't start off with pretty girls, it's not likely that the film is going to work, no matter what you do to them.

Second thing I like best about ZFX is the realistic aspect of the storylines. While he still likes to delve into sci-fi material, at the heart of almost every ZFX production is the villain overcoming the innocent girl in natural surroundings, and sometimes the bondage action occurs inside the home, rather than some artificial dungeon-type environment. Realism is important for me in this type of fantasy, even if the tortures sometimes go over the top and stretch the believability a bit.

What do I like least about ZFX? Probably that they put out so few releases anymore. In 2003, we were graced with one...count 'em, one...new title all year. Yeah, I know Rick is working on restoring his old works to DVD, but man...one a year just don't cut it for me. Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to seeing how he tackles HOM in his upcoming Bittersweet project.

Thanks to everyone who's added their feedback to Scribbler's query. Now let's hear from someone else. Surely you must have some opinions, right? Speak up, or I'm not kidding. You'll get nothing but Mad Dog pictures for a month. And no one wants to see that (except for Mad Dog, you egotistical bastard).

To Scribbler's questions. I live in the U.K. and I'm not aware of any places I can rent zfx type films. My first experience was from a seedy London video shop who sold tapes which were copies of copies, the quality being poor. In effect I suppose they were rented because when I returned the tape I could use it in part exchange for another one. So, I've 'rented' about 10 films, my best two being Phantacide Peepshow 2 (for the P. Pace toilet scene with 'the Governer' himself, Rick, and Chandra Sweet's tied to the door episode) and Forced Entry (not for Lisa but the other girl).

Then I found the internet and the zfx site (via GIMP Links, which in turn I found via Lorilee's links. I didn't stop to browse this site because I was in too much of a hurry to get my greedy mits on Ricks films; that came later!). Like a kid in a toy shop, I bought 7 tapes. The best of these are Underland (the tied to the table scene) and SOB 5 (spreadeagled on a bed with three hoods mauling the girl). I've just ordered L.K's Dirty Dreams, so my views might change.

Favorite actress: Drew Pheonix, because she's so 'grabable'. I've only seen Binding Contract, but that was made when Rick had to more cautious than he is now (I liked many of the themes and girls from those older films but none delivered for me because of those restrictions).

I want voluptous women, only men dominating them, the women to be forced by circumstances (e.g. owe money) as well as rope, naked women,mauled, probed, groped in all orifices, no blow jobs, no rape as such, spanking but not wipping, good and variable locations. From the editing point of view, the one thing I find irritating is when a girl is being, er, worked on but we keep jumping from that scene to another, and then back again (classic example SOB 3). I appreciate there is some merit in doing this for the film's sake, but I don't like it! When I transfer this to my highlights tape, I edit them to make one scene.

To summarise, all though I do not usually like a whole zfx film, there is often something in them which works for me, and for that reason I'm grateful for Rick's efforts (to give another idea of my tastes, I found a lot I liked in the (non zfx) film, Kimberley, Princess of Pain, especially a scene where she was fingered from behind whilst tied to a St Andrew's Cross, and another where she was fingered from the front whislt standing up).

A question to the panel please. In the U.S. you have the I.A.F.D. listings of porn films. In the U.K. there is www.bgafd.co.uk.. I know these sites are not spot-on accurate but they're still useful. Are there any others that cover our tastes?

Any word on what Rick is up to? I heard Monica Moore is coming back? She was a hottie!

Sorry, guy, but Rick said just the opposite in a recent post. Monica's not coming back, but we can dream, can't we? Meanwhile, Gangstarr is one of those titles that I'm eagerly awaiting on DVD. It's a lot of fun, and an example of Monica at her best.

I have been lurking around, hadn't had much to post about.

You mentioned reviews, so let me share my thoughts on SOB 6

SOB 6 is worth the purchase. This was my first ZFX DVD. I was not able to get it to work on my desktop, but my laptop ran it fine. Can anyone recommend a DVD viewer for the flick?

Anyway, aside from technial issues, the flim is very good. What I like about this video is how it's like one of the old ones. What I mean by that is I get three different victims. I always feel I get more for my money when I get multiple women.

Here I get two new-comers. Ashley is okay, but not a great actress, can you say bimbo? Nice to look at, and her scenes are good.

The real find here is Elaine Payton. Very sweet. The best looking babe since Monica. My favorite scene is the strip search one. I like humiliation and this is great. Her look and acting are also very good for a ZFX film. I would almost say she is one of the best. We get some force scenes two, which are also big for me

If you are listening Rick, and I can only speak for me here, but make more vids like Forced Entry and more humiliation type scenes like in SOB 6. I know you have recently gotten more in to torture and pain, which is not my thing. I like seeing clothes getting ripped, crying gals and rape. Boy I hope my Mom does not read this *grin*

Lisa's scenes are also good. I am not the biggest fan of Lisa, more because I have seen her so many times now. It's nice to see new blood.

Well that's all I have right now. I will be getting SOB 7 soon.

Later.

You can order CUT by clicking right here:

CUT-MOVIE.COM THE OFFICIAL INDEPENDENT FILM WEBSITE.

It's one I personally recommend highly. But when I ordered back in June or July, they had delays in shipping the DVDs due to some flooding problems.

I got August Underground through:

www.toetagpictures.com

Last time I checked, they didn't have an actual ordering link, but you can send a check for $25 to:

It was, for the most part, a tedious film, but the 14 or so minutes of bondage, humiliation and torture of a tied-up naked woman made it worthwhile for me. But trust me, this is NOT for every audience, even among the pervs who read this board.

Rope Burn was one of my all-time faves. I saw a pictorial from it in an old HOM mag called "Breast Bondage" and couldn't wait to see it after that. Not surprisingly, HOM added that loop to their very first volume of Bondage Classics when they were released on video.

Many people realize how great those old 70s bondage loops were, even though they were made before the advent of home video, so they had no sound, and had to reply on just the moving images for their dramatic appeal. Even though they were silent, I think they hold up remarkably well today, but to me, they're still something missing. I personally think that hearing the mmpphhing and screaming of the bound victims is a very important part of the experience for me, so I'm glad we have someone like Rick who can use today's modern advances to make the kind of bondage entertainment we weren't able to enjoy back in the early days.

I think there's more people who are really excited about his new Bittersweet Revenge project than usual, because the original was made by one of the true bondage pioneers, and Rick is arguably today's heir apparent to Whitman. That's just my opinion; anyone have any opposing views or comments to add? What are some other loops/scenes from that classic era that you'd like to see repeated in today's new releases? Spiked dildos? Severe breast bondage? Outdoor scenes?

I used to love the HOM outdoor stuff. They almost always took full advantage of the setting by having the girl hung upside-down by her ankles from a tree. That and the farmhouse settings were most always really run down looking shacks. Reminiscent of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

What elsse would I like to see? Hummm...Probably a little more peril. If Rick dosen't want to go to the extremes as, let's say EWP, then he could do some Perils of Pauline type stuff...except seriously.

The one in particular I would want to see is one from TAO rather than from HOM, but it was the same era, called "Sink, Sink My Dear". Two reasons I'd want to see it would be, that I've never seen it, and that it seemed a really interesting and perilous short. The girl was tied and gagged and then tied to an inflatable mattress and set afloat. Her mattress was puntured with a small hole to which she would slowly start to go under. How it ended...? Like I said, I've never actually seen it.

Cool magazine cover. I always used to like the "Bondage Classics" series myself.

Later.

Cocktails 3 had one of the roughest scenes I have ever seen, Bisexual Britney getting absolutely POUNDED in the ass while being choked, and appearing to love every minute of it.

Rocco's Animal Trainer 13, a short, mild scene with a cute blonde gagged with an inflatable gag and tied with black electrical tape to a chair. She gets some head from another girl, and then Rocco finger fucks her a little while she's bound. Not the world's greatest scene by any stretch of the imagination, but it's nice how mainstream has gotten a little kinkier.

The last scene in Trained Teens 3 is pretty nice, has some consensual bondage. I know it wouldn't please those of you who like the non-consensual take-down stuff, but for a mainstream it was pretty good. Really really cute girl (IMHO). On her knees with her wrists handcuffed behind her back, blindfolded. Giving head to some guy. Yes, they pulled the mandatory unfortunate "This is mainstream and this country is run by dickheads so we have to untie her halfway along the way just so we don't get arrested by some uptight idiot who thinks this blurs the line too much between consensual and non-consensual" antic about halfway through, but she was bound and sucking for quite a bit longer than this usual type of scene, so it was nice. Plus, cute girl, impeccably filmed, this was mainstream after all.

Ralphus, based on your raves I re-rented Cheerleaders of Perilus U again for the 1st time in a long time. It was excellent, definitely ranks with Forced Entry and Ballista as amongst Rick's best.

zee-ef-ex

Has anyone seen Trained Teens 1 or 2? Any good?

What about Cocktails 2? I liked Cocktails 3, hated Cocktails 1, can't find a copy of Cocktails 2 yet at my local video store.

And, I didn't know that Rocco has gotten to such high numbers in his Animal Trainer series, the only ones I previously had seen were up to Number 4, I think. So, are any of you familiar with numbers 5 through 12, or 14+? Any recommendations?

Any other mainstream ones I should keep an eye out for with good bondage or domination scenes?

zee-ef-ex

What I liked best about Cheerleaders of Perilous U was Chandra, my fave ZFX model of all time, and her acting. She did a great job, really moaned and complained and looked exhausted etc etc to perfection. It was her best work, I think.

I had promised you all a review of Tiffany Twisted and never delivered. I re-saw it recently, and here's the brief take on it - it's good. I think you have to like the girl, she's Asian, with a really slim build and small tight tits. I like the lean, lanky look, hate the big boobs and all, so this girl's appearance was a big plus - for me. I'll post more comments another time, but I really enjoyed it on a re-see.

zee-ef-ex

Taylor Rain I think is a cutie. She has that thin, lean naturally small-titted look that I like. She started out as a Socal Coeds girl, see these web sites for pics:

http://www24.smutserver.com/hardcore/simple/sc/taylor/

http://www.pornstarpro.com/socal/taylor/indexf.htm

She was in one of Joey Silvera's Service Animals movies, I think No. 10. He binds her loosely with some cord. She stands and spins around and around while he wraps this neverending cord around her naked body and her neck, then she blows some guys.

Yes, she could get free if she wanted to, but this is another one of those girls who gives the impression that she doesn't want to be free, she likes it rough. It's a good solid sex scene, Brandon Irons usually does a good job and he did so here.

I also saw her recently in Flesh Hunter 5, the first scene of the flik. Not a bondage scene, but she gets done by half a dozen guys in a car body shop garage. Just a beautiful girl taking it really really hard.

Okay, my work here is done, grin.

zee-ef-ex

This is a firm plea to everyone who stops by, grabs the free pic and leaves without saying anything -- you are strongly encouraged to sign the forum. Don't just read it and go, leave some acknowledgment, even as little as a sentence, that you're also a fan. I'm serious when I say that I've entertained thoughts of pulling the plug on the GIMP because of a lack of support. We have a great site here. Don't let it die out!

New video review of Dan Hawke's latest DVD coming tomorrow.

Dan Hawke has a new release out, DH44: Wounding Wenona. It's about a hot shot Hollywood actress who gets caught shoplifting in an upscale department store, where she's found guilty and forced to spend the next year tied up and tortured by Dan to serve out her sentence...no, wait...that would be Wounding Winona...that's a completely different story. But it would make a hell of a movie, huh?

Nope, this is Wenona, with an "e", and she's a somewhat attractive brunette with an omnipresent tattoo on her left arm, who is brought into Dan's dungeon and tied with her hands over her head to a beam in a ceiling. There's some groping and nice verbal threatening by Dan and some indignant complaining by Wenona, so we're glad when he rips open her dress, tears off her panties and stuffs them into her mouth, sealing them in there with several swatches of duct tape. With her mouth now silent and her looks drastically improved, Dan then ties her on her knees, with her ankles tied together and lifted off the ground, forcing all her weight onto the tips of her knees, a most uncomfortable position. He then enhances her suffering by clamping clips onto her nipples and adding a weight to her nipple chain. She's then left to endure this position as Dan walks away.

The next scene has her laying on her back over a stool, and her wrists and ankles are loosely chained to the stool. She is naked except for gloves and pantyhose and is now ballgagged. A rope goes through her crotch and is tied above to the ceiling. Not much happens here, just several shots of her struggling in her chains, but again, the bondage is not particularly tight.

Dan follows this up by tying Wenona in a seated position on a wooden platform. Her wrists are tightly bound behind her and her legs spread wide, tied to the sides of the platform. She is now adorned with a thick collar and her mouth is filled with a ring gag. Dan then runs a chain from her collar onto the bottom the crate, forcing her to bend forward. He then further secures her in this position by tying a rope to her collar and tightening it to the ceiling above her, making her even more unable to move her head. Then he goes off and lets her stay in this position, as saliva drips down uncontrollably from her gag.

Next, the action moves to the bedroom, where we see Wenona tied spreadeagled to the bed, now ballgagged. She looks good, but Dan decides she could look better, so he proceeds to clamp her flesh with clothespins, beginning with the insides of her spread arms and continuing around her breasts, finishing with a single clothespin onto each nipple. Then he shows her some metal clamps, which he applies to each side of her pussy lips, and pulls them tight with a line to the end of the bed. Now she's forced to endure this treatment, and there's some excellent handheld camerawork and nice whimpering from Wenona as Dan records her reactions. The scene gets even better as she cries out in pain as each clothespin is removed from her body.

This is followed up by Dan dripping candle wax on Wenona's chest. The wax torture is relatively light, but it's a fun scene enhanced by Dan's humorous banter and Wenona's squeals as each droplet lands on her skin.

In the final scene, Wenona is tied in a standing spreadeagle, her arms and legs both tied wide apart. She is gagged with a black bit gag. Dan approaches with a whip, and this overly elongated sequence is, unfortunately, not all that arousing. Wenona's reactions are great, but the floggers Dan uses are rather wimpy and most of his blows are not struck especially hard. Just once, I'd like to see Dan whip out a belt or something and really lay into one of his victims, leaving real marks, or at least simulate the action to make it appear more harsh than what we normally get in a Dan Hawke vid.

Fans of Hawke's work (which include me) will get what they expect from this latest offering. Like a lot of his work, there are some scenes that work better than others, and this one is no exception. There are a couple individual scenes here that make the vid worthwhile, particularly the clothespin segment on the bed, and it's watchable, if not particularly memorable. While Wenona wouldn't be my first choice to appear in a Hawke film, she acquitted herself nicely and gave a decent performance. But next time, Dan, how about giving a call to Ms. Ryder? That's the film I want to see. My grade: C+

She was in her underwear because she was in the bathtub trying to clean up when the stoner chick forced her out and dragged her into the basement. A few people have complained that the film would have been better if she had actually been stripped naked instead. All I can say is that I would have loved to see her get naked, too, but you have to realize this is an independent film that was shown in theaters, not a bondage film. Especially in mainstream films, it's rare to see an actress get tied up AND naked AND tortured, and in multiple scenes, too. I'll take what I can get, and I think CUT had plenty of great stuff in it.

August Underground is another independent film with a definite bondage/torture theme, at least in 3 scenes (about 14 total minutes) with a tied-up naked victim. It was one even I hesitated to write a review about because what they do to her is a little repugnant by most people's standards. She's not bad-looking; her hair is a little short, about shoulder length. But they deliberately make her look dirty, beaten up and bloody, and she's missing a nipple because it was burned off (we don't get to see that part). At one point they dump a bucket of piss on her and try to make her eat her own shit. Degradation is the point of the video and in that respect, they do it right and it's realistic and effective, but it's definitely NOT glamour bondage!

Good to see some new posters joining us. Remember that this forum is for YOU, and your opinions are what make it fun for others to read. So post often and we're glad you came out of the lurking closet. Wasn't so hard, was it? We're glad you're here.

I haven't posted in a while. No good excuse, just busy with stuff, but I wanted to let you all know about a paysite I found called www.teenageobsession.com. They have a fairly decent assortment of mpegs and jpegs for download, mostly revolving around forced sex fantasy with young (but clearly adult) women. The resolution of the mpegs is about the same as the sample mpegs on the brutal violence site, but maybe not quite as good. Some of the mpegs are fairly well acted, though most are not in English. This is a "rape fantasy" type site and may not appeal to the strict bondage/torture crowd, but there is some light bondage in several of the mpegs, and one in particular has a decent looking blond ball gagged and chained to a grimy basement wall while being prodded, assaulted and then raped in a number of long graphic scenes. That mpeg alone was worth the price of a three day membership.

Showing genitalia is illegal in Japan, which still amazes me that the law hasn't been changed in all these years. Occasionally you'll run into some uncensored Japanese tapes. Usually they are of lesser quality and made without the bigger budgets you normally see in most Japanese videos. These are made by private clubs in Japan and they are supposed to be just for members. But eventually, some make their way out to our country.

Hello all,

I just wanted to introduce myself and let everyone know about some new materials that will soon be available. My name is Dave Darke, and I have been working closely with Dan Hawke for the past few months in the production of my own line of bondage images and videos. Dan has been kind enough to provide me with some technical support in addition to a whole bunch of his well-earned industry knowledge.

I will soon be launching my own site (www.davedarke.com), and I think the members of this group will like what they see. I will be offering lots of free pics, not only to generate interest, but also as a way of getting feedback from the group.

The launch of my site will also feature the release of my first bondage video. The style of my work is severe, painful, and above all, real. There will be no BS or wimpy acting in any of my videos. The shots will be clear, and there will be more close-ups than you can count. Some of the videos will feature story lines, while others will be nothing but no-holds-barred bondage.

I hope everyone here will check out my site and let me know what they think.

Thanks.

Dave Darke

A shame your site is MSN, it's got some stupid Dot-net microsoft crap preventing people from accessing the web site, wouldn't let me in without registering. Aint gonna register for nuthin, nevah. Especially with Microcrap.

zee-ef-ex

And those who don't like MSN groups. I put another copy of the video file on a yahoo group,bondageslutslavedove. It's in the files section and named sh1.WMV.

Karl

I'm STILL looking for an adult bondage-fantasy-rape web site to join.

I have been so busy lately with family stuff I haven't even been able to lurk here, let alone contribute anything.

Your site is in the running. Whenever I can scrape together the time to really put the free side of your site through its paces, I'll come up with some questions for you and send an email.

Baronorca: Wish I could see your vid, but I can't see WMV files, oh well.

Dave Darke: best to wait to post your URL when the site is ready to go. Right now it's a popup trap.

Dan Hawke: I like the new site design. I should tell you though that on a mac, #0000ff blue text on black background is very hard to read. Probably different for PC users. The blue text on the icons is good.

Unicoi: teenageobsession.com looks kind of cool. I don't join paysites anymore, but looks cool.

classic HOM: anything I say about this is going to sound like a broken record. I've been talking up HOM classic loops since forever.

Ralphus: I can't think of much classic HOM or EP loops I wouldn't want to see redone, imitated, copied. Including tighter editing (ah, there's that broken record). Outdoor scenes? you bet. Severe breast bondage? not overly severe for me, but yeah, I like some BB. Spiked Dildo? I have to go look at that one again, I never did get around to figuring out how they did that. Liked it though.

Sound: is important. If you think about it, sound is half the picture. Try watching a favorite DVD with the sound turned off. I don't miss the sound on classic HOM loops cause I'm used to those silent (the muzak track they added to the BC videos is worthless). Just about all BD videos could benefit from a better music soundtrack, especially ZFX. Seriously, there's a lot of film library music that would work a lot better than the droning buzz synth. At least mix it's volume way down, that helps a lot (as in High Strung, if I remember right).

Bittersweet Revenge 2006: Yep, kinda looking forward to it, but will wait for the ole Ralphus review. I hope it lives up to the preview photos, those were great. The fact that it's going to be a multi-tape series isn't encouraging (guess that depends how it's handled).

Rick, arguably heir apparent to Whitman?: Maybe, but so is just about every BD video producer who's seen Whitman's work and been inspired by it. I personally still like the Bondage Classics, Erotic Perversion and Punished vids a lot more than any other producer's similar work I own, or have seen. But probably that's just me.

Hey, we broke 40,000!

Thanks for trying. But yahoo groups access requires registration, too.

Homey don't play that.

Okay, hands on the buzzers. Get ready...and go!

And for your Grand Prize, here's a look at the other two damsels in the movie.

Die Watching 1

Die Watching 2

What I think is interesting is that Rick Masters was willing to donate Lisa Kinkaid for a no holds barred evening with the winner, but you chose to just take a couple of pictures instead. Oh well, that's what you asked for. Enjoy.

It's a dirty job, but....

Main stream naked shock scene alert! Thanks to the fine efforts of Mr Hank Hobbs and his vid cap sites, I came accross a movie called "Flesh Hunters". Strictly B horror with aliens a little bit of cannible white trash thrown in. There is a scene though where an attractive woman is stripped and hung up outdoors on a sort of shock tether. The scene is not too long (read not long enough) but the makers of the film deserve credit for recognizing the fact that, if there is going to be a scene with a babe dancing to the old high voltage, it is best done naked.

Great Forum

Saved me a lot of looking and money

Keep up the reviews ... They are important.

SmCyber

Now....let's see if we can get Ralphus to put the pic up!

Damien

Damien, thanks for turning me on to this site. I can't wait to get time to go through it properly!

Maria Shadoes

Looks like they make their own videos there, one that looks pretty dull (or at least the actress does) and another (Paraphobia) that looks much more interesting, with some outdoor bondage/torture scenes, including a forced dunking in a swimming pool. Not sure I'd want to spend 40 bucks on it, but maybe someone else will and he'll review on it on the site. Why should I have all the fun?

Actually, I hope to get some tapes reviewed here before long. I have three more Dan Hawke tapes I haven't seen and the latest Eyewitness release to write about (Here's a sneak preview: It's good). Only problem is finding time. But I do agree with SmCyber. The reviews are important. Speaking of which, RR, have you seen Hatred of a Minute yet?

As requested, here's the pic from Damien's custom vid, and I already want to see it. He didn't tell me the name of the chick being tortured, but suggested we do a Guess The Actress contest on the forum. It will be like our usual contests, with one small change. Fastest person to post with the correct answer wins a no holds barred evening with...Damien. Sorry, Lisa Kinkaid was unavailable this time, but Damien's an okay chap, for a Dutch guy.

Damien

of those, what are your 2 favorite? In terms of how they effected me when I first saw them, Nightprowler and Meanstreak (ny first 2)

how many zfx videos do you own? 6 original titles

of those, what are your 2 favorite? Lois Payne and Xtractor

how many zfx titles are you interested in that you haven't rented or bought yet? Ummm - Only the one coming out Bittersweet - right now I'm into writing my own scripts

of those, what are your 2 most wanted? N/A

who's your favorite zfx actress and why? Tough call - Probably Victoria Vixxen because she provided the most intense breast bondage footage

what's your favorite movie with her in it and why? Lois Payne - the breast bondage

how many zfx movies with her have you seen? Almost all the old ones (1995 & prior), about half of the ones since 1996.

What 2 things do you like best about zfx video? The bold fresh approach bringing the storyline and struggling BACK into bondage videos and my very favorite thing, breast bondage

What 2 things do you like least about zfx video? The Sci/Fi angle, and the fact that Rick is slowing down so much with the new releases.

Wow, long time gone and I have to spend quite a while catching up on all the posts. :) That's a good thing! Just plain awesome to see the site getting so much traffic now. Looks like I missed out on a ZFX questionairre. :)

How many zfx videos have you rented? 6 or 8. There is no place in Eastern Washington that rents ZFX that I know of, which tends to lead to my answer below.

How many zfx videos do you own? About 50 original boxed tapes and DVDs. Currently in the process of repurchasing films that I already own in DVD.

Of those, what are your 2 favorite? Beyond Driven 2: Evil Man is by far my favorite. Alien Probe 1 is a close second.

How many zfx titles are you interested in that you haven't rented or bought yet? Still quite a few, I'm waiting for them on DVD however. Of those, what are your 2 most wanted? Xtractor I think will be the next. Undecided on the one after that however. Who's your favorite zfx actress and why? Ouch. There's quite a few of them that I just couldn't live without. Allison Parrish, Holly Weston, Lisa Kinkaid, etc. I'd have to give a slight nod to Allison Parrish for the sweet body though.

What's your favorite movie with her in it and why? It'd be easier to pick which were my least favorite movies with her in it. :P

How many zfx movies with her have you seen? About 6 or 7 I think.

What 2 things do you like best about zfx video? The entire non-consensual theme is a big plus. And I love the "real-world" costuming.

What 2 things do you like least about zfx video? The whipping scenes don't do a whole lot for me. And I think everyone would have to agree with the general sloooowdown in new releases.

And one last thing. A while back someone was wondering about where Nightcrawler was getting the screencaps for all the "rape" series pictures he likes to put out. Quite a few of the screen caps he uses comes from a director by the name of Mario Salieri. He often has "non-consensual" themed sex scenes in his movies but they are kind of like rape lite. Kind of like a semi-forced date rapeish kind of scene. A few of his movies however are pretty obviously more "rape" themed. As a little bit of trivia, Ron Jeremy plays a part in his Dracula "remake" that has them raping women through most of the movie. Rape-lite however. :P The women's expressions say they don't like it, but there isn't a whole lot of struggling.

SB

Cool!, you got your custom done. The still looks pretty good! Is this from the script I got a chance to see? Give us the low down on what's in it (if different script).

Later.

Looks like they make their own videos there, one that looks pretty dull (or at least the actress does) and another (snip)

I have to laugh. Other than myself, regarding that Xtreme Bondage Master video, I don't think I've been described as 'dull' before. However, that was a custom video where I was instructed to try to act like a submissive japanese woman and move as little possible (not hard since we shot it all in one day and all of it was hanging from ankles only). I agree that its dull though. I HATE watching myself in that movie. I just kind of hang there. Though the wrist/ankle only hogtie suspension is actually pretty good and intense as hell. Thats one painful position there!

I'm glad I have thick skin though.. dull. LMAO

I'm linking this forum though. It seems I have some friends here. *waving to memfan and Damien*

Maria Shadoes

http://www.boundndetermined.com http://www.bondagebarrix.com http://www.amazingties.com (probably foofier than you boys like) http://www.bondagespa.com (probably foofier than you boys like) http://www.bondagespa.com

Since you're actually involved with that site, have you seen that Paraphobia video? The short video clips looked intriguing.

Yes, you have a friend in me. I have been waiting on receiving the final products from everybody I have commissioned videos from to post my reviews of the custom video producers (of which you are one, for the general audience), but I will say right now that you have been the most pleasant to deal with and you work through problems with a Heraclean resolve (Herculean or really, really hard for you George W. Bush fans out there). You were very faithful to the script and you were determined to make sure the result was as awesome as possible. I'm certain you will receive a "thumbs up" on the final product. The only thing pending is whether you get a B+, A-, A, or A+.

To all interested parties

Even though I have not seen the final product, Maria already gets my recommendation.

The story: A secret agent (called Hope) is on a first mission. Shortly after entering a suspicious place, she get's caught (yeah....like you didn't see this comin') by the bad guy, who does all kind of things to pump her for information. Wil she give in?????

She gets penis-, whiffle-, dental-, harness-and ring-gagged, nippleclamped, suspended on one leg, backarched, strappadoed, pussycropped........All the stuff I like, with emphasis on my personal fetishes. (the interrogation-theme beeing one, many close ups beeing another, plenty of tiptoeing, heavy on humiliation and embarresment etc.)

Sp far, all I saw is several hundreds of pics, and they look great! I'm waiting (patiently) for the tape, which might take a couple of weeks to get processed.

I'm all with BB-fan on the pleasant dealings with Maria and Lew from BnD. They're very professional, have an open ear for specific needs, and are willing to bend over backwards to get as close as possible to what the customer has in mind. Though I still haven't seen the final result (and that's what really counts) so far it's been a real pleasure just doing business with them. Highly recommended!!!!!!

But don't be too surprised if Rick gets on you for falling behind on release dates!

Here is a question for all you pro and amature directors out there. How much basic introduction work do you have to do with the models to the genre? Bondage models and lifestyle girls aside, I imagine there would have to be some sort of BDSM 101 before you hoist them from the raftors. I've always wondered how Rick was able to get someone like Elaine Payton or (insert your favorite here) off the street then get a convincing performance out of her right off the bat. Do they sit down and watch some earlier films first? Or what conversations does Dan Hawke have before straddeling a model on a wooden sawhorse and clothespinning her nipples ("This could take awhile" (?) This is going to hurt some" (?) "Its ok to cry"..). I have always been curious about the behind the scenes prior even to filming. Anyone with insights out there?

First time poster, long-time lurker, and though I probably should have added something here long before this, I guess I just don't get much time to see enough of all these new movies coming out--big classic ZFX fan, though!--to contribute much. Thanks to Ralphus (and the rest), who keep Gimp's going strong, and especially the filmmakers themselves, such as Rick the Great One, Dan Hawke and the others who make this forum so special--this is probably the best hangout for us bondage film fans going.

The main reason I'm posting here today, though, is not for praise unfortunately. There's been a lot of hype here the past few months over the CUT dvd, some posts from CP himself about his movie and even some pretty good reviews from the people here who ordered it--the ones who were lucky enough to get their ordered copies, that is. I remember Ralphus posting a while back because he was getting frustrated about a delay with his copy, and then CP came on apologizing about some flooding in their basement, all the copies were ruined, he was very sorry, etc.

I run a little independent video site that appeals to fans of the forum here (I'm not looking for attention for the site so I won't mention the name), and because I saw all this talk about CUT, and also because I'm a bondage/extreme bd fan in general, I thought I'd give the dvd a try and support CP in his efforts by ordering some copies for the site (10 copies). So I sent him the order for the dvd's thru his website, and this was back on 8/11.

Now, because of some of the posts from some readers here complaining about the slow delivery, and also CP's subsequent follow-up apology about his "flooding" problem, I figured not to expect the dvd's anytime soon and just be patient. However, after the package still hadn't arrived come about the 5-6 week--with no follow-up from CP whatsoever, either--I figured I had been patient long enough and I wrote him to see what the hold-up was with the dvd's. I didn't get an answer. So I tried being patient again, figured he might need a few extra days to respond (hey, he's busy filmmaker, right?), and I still got no response. I waited almost 2 weeks before responding again, and by that time I was pretty steamed and I wasn't happy about the way this guy was handling my order. I told him if he didn't let me know immediately what was going on with the status of my order then I would be cancelling the order and filing a complaint with PayPal against him (worked for Ralphus, why not with me?)

This was his "official" response to me:

We at cut-movie.com sincerely apologize for the delay in your shipment of the DVD. We have unable to contact anyone regarding the film and shipment of the products until yesterday. I have been posting via another PC, due to an over-abundance of virus attacks. Please accept our deepest apologies. Your shipment along with all other shipments will be going out this friday. We have had alot of delays and setbacks in the past weeks and can only apologize for the delay.

we are sending you a complimentary t-shirt along with your order.

Sincerely
CP Quiros
Cut-movie.com

*****

So, after all the flooding problems, it seems there were new delays now because of an over-abundance of virus attacks. Note the date from his e-mail...it's days shy of being exactly 2 months since I had first sent him my order. Anyway, in his e-mail he said my order--along with all the others--would be mailing out "this" Friday, which would have been Friday, Oct. 10th.

The package to this day still hasn't arrived, and today is Oct. 25th. It's been over two weeks now since he wrote saying the package would definitely be going out on such day, and still nothing has been delivered. So I wrote him again just a couple days ago stating I wanted an immediate answer on the status of my delivery...he said it was going out on a certain date, and I wanted to verify if it had indeed gone out. My e-mail got bounced back to me (hotmail address). So I wrote him back again using another e-mail address (AOL this time); like before, this e-mail was bounced back to me, this time with the error notice: 550... Host unknown (Name server: cut-movie.com: host not found).

And so, as of right now, I have absolutely no idea of what's going on with my package. If you write to him he doesn't write you back, and even if he did it now seems there's no way for your e-mail to get thru to him. So because of all this I thought I would let the Gimp readers know so they would really think twice before dealing with this guy...obviously he doesn't seem to have a good handle on what he's doing and, even more obviously, he doesn't really seem to care a whole lot about the people who order from him, either. Is this the kind of filmmaker we should support by giving space here on Gimp's forum? From my own online experiences, this is absolutely the worst transaction I've ever had dealing with someone like this...needless to say, if it doesn't arrive within the next couple days then the order is getting cancelled and PayPal will be getting that complaint.

If by chance the package does happen to arrive either today or Monday morning (I'm definitely not going to be holding my breath), then I'll come back and let everybody know and then clear up this mess. If it doesn't--and I'm pretty sure by now it's not going to--then I'll make sure to let everyone know that, too. Until then, all the Gimp readers should stay away from this guy and from ordering his dvd, and we should also stop talking about it, as well...let's protect the hapless newbies to the board from all the praise about the dvd so they don't get suckered into buying it, too.

Hey CP, if you happen to come across this post, then feel free to throw your 2 cents in on the subject. Besides me, I'm sure ALL the Gimp readers would really love to hear your take on the whole situation.

Take care all...I'll post again soon. ~WicMis~

For our purposes two scenes stand out strong: Charlotte naked in a room full of prisoners being processed. The prison official is (with German attention to detail) filming the proceedings when he notices Charlotte and focuses in close. As the other prisoners retreat and Charlotte stands alone, the scene portays an intense vulnerabity.

The second scene is even better but it is short. Charlotte, nude being pursued through an empty looking building, mid point in a "game" with the mail lead character shooting to either side of her. She kneels in terror, once again a scene striking for its vulnerability.

That was about it for me, two very good scenes that left one wanting more. As a "main stream" movie though, it delivered quite well.

Over an unrelated matter, I wrote Carlos last night regarding his website being down. Now, I was already aware that the contents of the site were soon to be moved to www.lostcausefilms.com, because there had been a message on the CUT site a few days before it closed. So, it's not an excuse, but perhaps a reason why there's been no contact is because they are going through the transition of moving and that's probably why the e-mails bounced.

Anyway, I haven't heard from Carlos yet, but you might want to try an alternate e-mail address (above) to contact him. Whether anybody is home is not known, but at least it didn't come back and we know it is a working e-mail, so there's hope.

As far as not ordering from him, right now there really is no way to purchase the DVD anyway until they get the new site set up. Myself, I would cancel the credit card payment right now, and wait on reordering until he gets his shit together. I certainly hope that his major in college is Film Production, and NOT Business :)

Anyway, I used the e-mail address you posted for him and sent him a nice (not so), message, so I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see what he decides to do about it. And though your advice about cancelling the order right away is probably the best thing to do, with all this "new" website stuff he has going on I figure I'll give him another day or two to make things right. Though the last thing he's got coming from me is any kind of benefit of the doubt, I figure if I've been waiting 2 1/2 months already I can wait another day or two. That's all he's getting, though.

Thanks again for the info, Ralphus...I'll be back again in a couple days with the follow-up. Take care all.

Just a quick comment about how much I'm enjoying the discussions here - it's a credit to the world of perverts that there can be such a mix of civility and information ;o)

One quick question about these daily pics we're getting - is the very high quality on some of them (eg the Dreams of LK ones) a result of them being from DVD (as I imagine)? If so, is there an easy way to cap DVD stills onto computer, with as few steps as possible?

Cheers

For anyone who hasn't seen it, the mainstream foreign film Irreversible with the stunning Monica Belluci delivers. Brutal, hand-clamped-over-mouth, face-down-on-a-hard-floor intensity.

It's a treat to sit down to watch a non-specialty title and find some special tidbit. Other favorite mainstream films?

G-in-O brings up a great question about how these girls are interviewed for our little perversion. I know in my own work of trying to save young wayward harlots, that it's not easy suggesting that a little corporal punishment suffered now will smooth the road to heaven later. It's a good way to get hit with your own copy of the New Testament, but the work must continue.

in reguards to model reactions to BDSM. It varies, most of the models (that I have used) are amateurs, who have a little bondage experience. It's amazing what will be intolerable to some and be trivial to others. On my MSn group, I posted a video clip of Angilene, form a shoot earlier this month (sort of a DanHawke style), clothspins on her arm were intolerable, but not on the breasts (20+). Another scene with a weighted crotchrope, breastbondage as nothing, but when banded chopsticks were put on nipples, you could see the strain in her eyes. Everythng was explained and agreed on, but until it happens you don't know exactly how it will feel (and we all seem to think that we are just a lttle tougher that we are).

Always watch the eyes, very hard to act with the eyes, when the eyes roll, they are feeling it! Karl

Thanks for the compliments, dude. But I really don't deserve that much honour. The credits really should go to Lew and Maria (BnD), Jerry (photographer) and last but not least (by far!!!) Karina, the model.

All the input I had was my dirty mind, and look how far that got me....;-))

Damien

BTW, how much did this video custom cost?

Well, if you read my previous posts below then I'm sure you know what I thought about CP coming thru on his end of the deal there, and unfortunately he proved me right, just as I knew he would--and I even gave him an extra day to boot. So today--after almost 11 weeks of waiting--I finally cancelled my order for his CUT movie. I gave him every chance in the world to come thru on his end, gave him every opportunity to respond by e-mail and let me know what was happening...in the end he chose to do neither. So he can take his movie and stick it in the dark place.

Also, I did try and file the complaint against him with PayPal, but it seems they have an ass backward and completely stupid rule of the frauded buyer having to file the complaint against the seller within the first 30 days after purchase. I don't know, to me that seems like an extremely short window of opportunity for someone to complain about a seller using their service--especially when you have the seller himself stringing you along and telling you he promises to have the stuff out very shortly. I guess that's just PayPal's way of being lazy themselves...less complaints they have to deal with that way. At any rate, he slimed thru that one without getting a complaint filed against him or his account.

Anyway, to those of you who got your dvd's (eventually), consider yourself lucky. Doesn't matter to me, he's a thief in my book and you can disagree if you want to, but what else do you call someone who takes your money (he got $200 from me), makes you wait months without ever sending you anything in return and then makes next to no effort to contact you back when you write him? I did have a little laugh, however, when I saw what the web address was for his new site that Ralphus posted...believe me, he didn't get struck by a bolt of inspiration coming up with that one, he's just stating a simple fact; dealing with him is indeed a lost cause.

I'm done with him, though--as should we all be. Like I said in one of my earlier posts, let's keep the frauds and posers off the Gimp board and save the talk and praise for those who really deserve the merit or mention; CP, who's now proven himself as untrustworthy as he is unreliable, doesn't deserve either. And yeah, CP...a prolonged AND repeated lack of response to the customer's queries (note the plural use), does mean you're untrustworthy. So, in other words, take it elsewhere to find attention for your projects because you don't deserve any here. And I'll be more than happy to direct everybody right back to this spot in the Gimp archives if you happen to "forget" about this incident and decide to try your luck again sometime in the future.

Anyway, I promised you all an update and there you go--no package, no e-mail, cancelled order. Thanks to all those who showed support and helped by adding your input because I did appreciate it--it didn't really change anything in the end, but's it's nice to know people are paying attention to the happenings in our little community here. That's what counts. Take care all...I'll post again soon

~WicMis~

As far as him ignoring your e-mails, I doubt he deliberately ignored you. My guess is that he hasn't read them for one reason or another, since he never answered either of my last two e-mails to him either. Where is Carlos Quiros? I dunno, but he has a lot of explaining (and apologizing) to do. There are always two sides to every story. My guess is that eventually he'll turn up and we'll find out what the problem was. Too bad this experience soured at least one potential fan from checking out his movie, but after 11 weeks, I can't say that I blame you.
