24.2 Are we taken seriously by the industry professionals?
I think we are taken as seriously as fan mail. Well, allow me to
let Bill Majors, a real live industry professional, comment:
The answer is that they DO read this news group. However,
IMHO, most of us tend NOT to regard things here as the bottom
line. We all have one other form of research that works even
better -- it is called the marketplace. That is what we pay
VERY close attention to.
Examples? Many here have been vociferous about natural tits
and NOT wanting big ones. The results? Sorry -- when a gal
gets bigger, so does her pocketbook and that of the producer.
Anal scenes? Some like them some don't, but the marketplace
right now is very hot for them.
I could go on, with complaints about boxes not representing
what is inside them. But when the producer makes a dud, and we
all do from time to time, the glitzy box has been shown to
sell the tape and recover investment. These are just everyday
practical considerations for those of us in the business.
I enjoy reading what you and yours write. However, I don't
think I would allow it to replace the business judgement that
over 20 years has placed our firm pretty much at the top of
the heap when it comes to the specialized product that we
produce.
