The other night HBO showed a pretty interesting documentary. It was a short film about the making of photographer Timothy Greenfield's Book "XXX:30 Porn star portraits". This was an artist that had made famous portraits of musicians,writers, even US presidents. But he wanted to do this book with porn stars, because they are the "new celebrities."
The documentary shows the behind the scenes of the shoots and features interviews with the porn stars.But more than that, i shows how porn has become part of the mainstream media and how porn performers are now true celebrities. Regular media outlets such as E! have reports about them. Now you can talk to someone about Jenna Jameson and chances are they will know who you are talking about. Just the fact that a Time Warner outlet like HBO has a show about this subject full of nudity and sexual talk tells you how much this industry has become a regular part of society.
Anyway, this is a documentary that is sure to polarize people into those who think porn is offensive and those who think that it is about time that we stop being so prudish and accept porn as simply entertainment.
Check it out.
