From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Gonzo pornography is a filming style of adult video. It is characterized by a filming style that attempts to place the viewer directly into the scene. The name is a reference to gonzo journalism, in which the reporter is part of the event taking place. By analogy, gonzo pornography puts the camera right into the action -- often with one or more of the participants both filming and performing sexual acts -- without the usual separation characteristic of conventional porn and cinema.[citation needed] Deeply influenced by amateur pornography, basic gonzo porn tends to use far fewer full-body/wide shots, and more close-ups (see Reality pornography). The loose and direct camera work often includes "tight" shots of the genitalia, unlike much of traditional porn.

Gonzo videos tend to focus far less on the plots, extended dialogue, elaborate costumes/sets, and artistic camerawork commonly found in conventional porn. However, due to the explosive growth in its popularity since the mid-1990s, gonzo has attained mainstream popularity; several individually distinct styles of no-frills, filmed pornography can be labeled gonzo porn. Today, several companies produce gonzo that has excellent lighting and sound quality, (temporary) lingerie costuming, and is shot in various rooms of luxury homes. One trait that all gonzo films share, though, is a much greater emphasis on intense (almost hyperactive) sexual performance. Regardless of camera techniques or the degree of director involvement in the scenes, a gonzo film has "more sex", per se, than a traditional (e.g., Vivid or Adam&Eve brand) adult video. Gonzo scenes tend to run longer; it is common for a single boy-girl scene to run anywhere from fifteen to thirty minutes.

John Stagliano is considered to have started the Gonzo pornography genre with his Buttman series of films.

And don't forget the real Gonzo:



And a quote from http://www.urbandictionary.com :
A sexual act where a male puts his balls over the partner's eyes and the dick hangs down the nose. This resembles the popular muppet gonzo.

I didn't know about that! Would put face in too close contact with bum though for me so wouldn't have liked it anyway!

Thanks for that, got a friend whose hubby wants to watch gonzo porn with her and she was bit baffled by it...as was I.

Thank you ! x

Because purpose of TV is not to inform but to sell.
I hate those loud commercials so much I instantly turn off the TV sometimes, and if I see anything I am buying on TV I stop buying it. Those are the only ways to boycott the bastards. (edited: except trowing the whole appliance in the garbage, of course)

so true but you, CB, seem to be a lot like me in many ways. Nothing but a commercial box
I am sure you are familiar with "Kill Your TV" and not as a she-male hate thing. I have done many things to "refuse" giving my money to shitty establishments... damn good thing I dont have much money our I would never spend any of it

but please don't tell my you are Amway. If so I will tell you up front I am NOT interested

Re the Gonzo-porn article...

I rather liked the 'loose camera work'-line but can't see how 'tight shots of genitalia' would attract the folks of this community...

Bad pun aside, another thing frequently seen in this kind of production is the use of wide-angle lenses for close-ups. This makes whatever is in the middle of the frame bulge out towards the viewer and everything else look much smaller by comparison. Bangbros or Steve can be seen using this to 'enhance' breasts, butts or mouths. (This distortion is usually seen as a Bad Thing by more 'conventional' photographers and film-makers.)

To complete the background of the word 'gonzo', don't mind me pointing out the man who started it all: Hunter S. Thompson.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_S._Thompson

Hunter was the inventor of gonzo journalism, being the first to place himself in the middle of the action as a journalistic style. The word comes from one of the main characters of Hunter's most famous novel, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, about a journalist, called Raoul Duke (Hunter himself) and his 300-pound Samoan Attorney Dr. Gonzo.

I'm a great admirer of Thompson and he had a large influence on my own writing. He has written terrific novels, essays, short stories. For those who don't have the time (or are too lazy ) to read, there's always the movies 'Where the Buffalo Roam' with a perfectly casted Bill Murray as Hunter and Peter Boyle as Dr. Gonzo, or there's Terry Gilliam's 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' with Johnny Depp as Hunter and Benicio Del Toro as the Dr. Gilliam is at his most brilliant and both Johnny and Benicio are terrific. This is how Fear &... begins: http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=5q-N4_tQ1R8

anything public, i mean related to the State, which involves the name of God in its preambol, it's a scandal
here i see a double scandal because it seems all the power is emanated by the only source of legitimacy "Us, Our Heirs and Successors"

Gni: Sorry mate. We posted at the same time or thereabouts ....... You dont understand mate. Lizzy is THE defender of the faith? Head of the church over here. So; by extension; everything she says is the word of god. She doesnt actually have anything to say herself; because she is just a constitutional monarch; and anything she is allowed to say is told to her by the PM ....... Gordon (now) and announced on the Queens speech. So ..... the word of the Queen (defender of the faith and therefore God's main person in England) is actually dictated by the PM at the time. See ...... you didnt get it mate! The PM is a man of the peeps and he thinks about things and he passes on his thoughts to the queen ..... who is in turn .... the defender of the faith ........ there we go ...... WORD OF GOD ....... is ..... ultimately the world of the people ......... GOD ..... this is difficult! He He ................. but then the truth probably wasnt the truth it started out to be ............ wtf was that about gonzo anyway?

[TBTB]
