I have always wondered why some directors wouldn't go ahead and make real art out of a sexy film. For example, there is "Wild Orchid" in which Carre Otis gets it on with two guys and watches a really good sex scene between two people not really involved in the script. In Wild Orchid, three women are hot and ready to go at the appropriate time. In "Taken", after Alexandra Silk succumbs to her client's payments, it gets raunchy. Not romantic, but raunchy. Then, there is a cut from stock footage from straight porn flicks that really distracts from the art in "Taken." Now, suppose you had this kind of talent and a good script where real action occurred at the end of a romantic prelude and then they went all the way on camera so that we could see the action, not just the implication. I want to see them making love naked, but only after a reasonable amount of foreplay. This film could have made it with just a little tweaking.

I read once that the average time viewing a porn flick in a hotel was something short of ten minutes. I bet it would blow their minds to have romantic porn. Oh, well.
