Movie titles: from silly and fun to entirely problematic

Well, the porn class is over, and I'm currently writing up my paper on feminist porn. I still intend to continue with this blog, but maybe a touch less formally than my previous posts. I do still want to bring the academic into the discussion, because I think that's really important. But there might be some silly stuff, too.

Speaking of silly. After spending some time clicking around the Internet Adult Film Database (which is a great resource: www.iafd.com), I just can't believe some of these titles. When someone asks what your current project is, how do you say with a straight face, "Jam It All The Way In My Ass" or "Bang My Juiceboxxx" or "Cum In My Mouth I'll Spit It Back In Yours..... 5"? You really couldn't come up with a more creative title?

And how do women of color stand making movies with titles like "Fuckey Fuckey My Asian Ass" and "Slant-Eyed Sluts" or "Black Trash" and "Get That Black Pussy You Big Dick White Bastard Mutha Fucka"? I wish I were making these up. I can't imagine how that feels. I wonder what the white male actors think about enacting these roles of whiteness as well. It all makes me feel very dirty... and not in a good way.
