(The album that defined the band.) 『This album is pure joy, moment by moment, from start to finish. I don't think there's a lacklustre second on the whole album. When I first heard this I was about 13 or 14, and just getting into guitar. I can honestly say that if I hadn't heard this album my life would have been very different.
The energy that the musicians manage to get onto this album is astounding.
Of all the music that the Chili Peppers have done over the years, I think this album is the one that defined the band. Up to this point they were musos that were really into funk and being silly, without depth to their songs. After this point they seem confused and addled by their own success, and have tried to carry the flame that burned so bright on this album for another (nearly) two decades after it was a natural statement. On this album, there is a convergence of forces that is truly rare and extremely special. Things like this don't happen very often.』
(Phenominal) 『Overall, RHCP is probably one of the single most influential bands in the history of music. I've read some reviews stating that the band, (this album in particular) is just another has-been alternative rock band. However, RHCP are way much more than just another alternative rock band. Firstly, John Frusciante was ranked at number 16 on the Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarists of all time. People are really only ragging on this album in particular because it was the first album to REALLY achieve mainstream success. For some reason, people have it in their heads that as soon as a band achieves big success, they stop being good. These people are idiots. The music is undeniably great. It has an edgy tone to it yet certain songs like "Under the Bridge" and "I Could Have Lied" show the versatility of the band. Point and case, don't believe the "this band sucks" hype. They are phenomenal and hopefully will forever be recognized for the great artists they are.』
(Surfie funk metal hits the bright lights) 『Really delivering a smash hit for the band this album captured that California funk rock persona so perfectly it's hit singles are probably forever etched into the memory banks of everyone who was 13-25 years old at the time. Playing it again after all these years is a fun but slightly confusing experience. After all the non single like Mellowship Slinky in B Major, Naked in the Rain, My Lovely Man, The Greeting Song....who on earth was listening to this stuff. Well nobody I know that's for sure. Silly, juvenile, drug addled and overly self conscious (look ma, no brains!).Who was listening to the singles like Suck My Kiss, Under the Bridge, Give It Away etc? Well darn near everybody!! Some of these songs have become radio staples and have entered into popular culture in a multi generational manner.
Ultimately this album was so successful it's hard to review objectively and besides just how many uninitiated people are out there who haven't already heard it? However my two cents worth can be somewhat summed up by a quote from my girlfriend of the time who after hearing Give It Away said `Wow, it sounds like RHCP have finally written an almost normal song.' To expand, what the band had achieved here was to bridge the gap between their more nonsensical slacker/drug loser persona and the mainstream culture that demanded musical signatures that could be used as something to hold onto.
The band achieved this with whimsical lyrics married to a rollicking rhythm section that after a few earlier albums had really hit it's communicative stride. This new found synergy and discipline allowed rockers such as Suck My Kiss to really cut through with identifiable riffs and melodies. It also allowed the more alternative/weird chorus section of Breaking the Girl to be centred in a coherent setting and therefore be even more striking. Not to mention the beautiful Under the Bridge which many probably consider to be the bands best 4:24 even after all these years.
A band that had the surfies fired up, the teenage girls squealing and even the heavy rocker fans on board. What's not to love? Oh year, all those non single songs....well I guess it all still equates to a score of four stars.』
(AN ALBUM THAT SET THE STANDARD FOR FUNK-ROCK) 『This has to be one of the greatest albums ever made , awesome tracks like give it away and suck my kiss and many many more , this is probably the best album they have made next to (californication). Highly recommended.』 『With valuable assistance from producer Rick Rubin, the Peppers find just the right blend of punk, funk, and hip-hop. Even with a running time of 74 minutes, this 1991 breakthrough has continuity and cohesion both within and across the 17 cuts. Riding Flea's surging bass, Anthony Kiedis delivers his explicit lyrics with a rapper's flair, extolling the virtues (and outlining the dangers) of sex and drugs. Plaintive ballads such as "Breaking the Girl," "I Could Have Lied," and the hit "Under the Bridge" give the album depth and provide contrast to the raw energy of "Mellowship Slinky in B Major," "Funky Monks," and "Give It Away." Rubin masterfully fuses John Frusciante's raunchy guitar with the irresistible grooves.--Marc Greilsamer』 『Limited edition Japanese pressing of the 1991 album comes packaged in a miniature LP sleeve. Featuring some of the band's best known moments ('Under The Bridge', 'Give It Away', 'Breaking The Girl' and 'Suck My Kiss', this was the band's breakthrough album that turned them into worldwide arena superstars.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (60's British Comedy with Peter Sellers) 『Lesser known British Comedy film from the earlier days of comedic great Peter Sellers. Here Peter Sellers re-teams with "The Lavender Hill Mob" director Charles Crichton to deliver another biting comedy and examination of culture clashes. Peter Sellers plays a meek accountant in a firm that produces Scottish Kilts. When the ole time owner kicks the bucket, his son inherits control. However, the son comes with his new partner, an American woman! Mrs. Barrows played by Constance Cummings. She has some very different ideas about how to run a business. The old stogie accounting department will never be the same. Sellers, the head of the accounting department has been given the task to acquaint her with the firm. She is rather taken aback by its many arcane ways of doing business and insists on immediate changes. Changes, that the accountant views as a grave threat to his existence.
This classic British comedy is based on the short story "The Catbird Seat" by author James Thurber. Interestingly enough the British horror director and cinematographer Freddie Francis was the director of photography on this 1959 film. Freddie Francis went on to direct some infamous 60's and 70's horror films like Torture Garden, Hysteria, and Girly. He won the OSCAR for his cinematography on the film GLORY (1990) and achieved wide acclaim and nominations for his work on the 1993 CAPE FEAR remake.』 タイトル『 Enrapture >
『Towards the end of his career,former porn director Vincent cranked out a lot of made for cable movies,either comedies or thrillers,but always with a generous helping of T&A. Enrapture certainly beats all those silly Shannon Tweed programmers with its pleasingly dark script and a few surprisingly good acting performances,especially by hardcore doyenne Ona Zee as the duplicitous Chase Webb (love that name!) who gets the ball rolling by seducing her naive young bodyguard. Soon after she turns up dead...or does she? The plot twists and turns all over the place. The simulated sex scenes will leave viewers gasping for air. What more could one possibly ask from this type of fare? An intelligent treat from a late great erotic filmmaker who actually cared about the stuff he put out. Dedication such as this is sorely missed in today's often cynically contrived cable fodder market.』 タイトル『 Sportsheets Dual Showerhead >

(as I remember it) 『Boy, super listening to the simon and garfinkel music again. All the good feelings come back. The picture in blue ray is sharp and the music delightful. Story still holds up. "Plastic" Mrs. Robinson are you trying to seduce me. YES.』
(Poor Quality) 『This Blu-Ray Disk has very poor quality, i thought that i was watching a DVD disk.』
(Didn't meet expectations) 『There's been so much written about this classic movie that I won't bother to write too much more. The movie looks surprisingly fresh for being over 40 years old (especially the blu-ray version). It doesn't look old.
With that said, the movie isn't as funny as I had expected or hoped. Some of it might be Dustin Hoffman's acting - I like him in other movies, but he comes off pretty annoying here. Part of it might be that the movie pushed cultural boundaries and spoke to issues in the 1960s that don't have as much resonance today. Some scenes were just too over the top - like Hoffman's parents forcing him to go scuba-diving in the pool. I just don't get the humor there.
The movie made great use of Simon and Garfunkel songs for the soundtrack! It really becomes part of the film and tells the story. Frankly, it's probably the best part of the movie. It would be nice if more movies weaved pop music in their films.
Bottom line: if you liked The Catcher in the Rye (or stories like it), you'll like The Graduate. If you're like me and hated that book, you won't find the movie that exciting either.』
(Coo coo kechoo Mrs Robinson...Blu-ray loves you more than you will know!) 『I love this movie, always loved it, even in Lo-Def or No Def. Is Anne Bancroft hotter in HD/Blu-Ray? Is mad man Dustin Hoffman's insane screaming, "Eeeeellllaaaaine!" at the top of his lungs as Katherine Ross stands at the alter about to say "I do," more riveting and dramatic in Hi-Def? Very possibly. I don't know, honestly. This movie is so fabulous everytime I watch it though- Bancroft's Mrs. Robinson is the consumate cougar, and her performance is iconic. And she IS hot, as well as deliciously, stalkerishly creepy in this role! You don't need high def to appreciate that. Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of the confused and obsessed Benjamin Braddock is pitch perfect. This story never gets old, it's classic, timeless, and set to a sweet Simon&Garfunkel soundtrack. If you're replacing your collection with blu-ray, or if your looking for something to round out a "buy one-get one" deal, get this. It's an important movie, whatever definition you've got.』 『Studio: Tcfhe/mgm Release Date: 06/02/2009 Run time: 212 minutes Rating: R』

(My Favorite of all Time) 『This is my #1 movie of all time. Filled with John Ford's favorite actors, the director's love of Ireland shines thru. Ford, whose real name was Sean O'Feeney, brings out the best in his stars by allowing them to be what I perceive as "themselves". Their real love and admiration for each other served to give their characters a beleivabilty that comes off the screen and into my heart. The beautiful countryside, village rogues, and touch of religious/political tension makes the story credible. In this movie, the villain is replaced with a stubborness that is based on both pride and love, real human emotions. I have worn out at least 2 VHS tapes of this film and will probably wear out the dvd. While most will consider this a John Wayne movie, I have always considered it what the film industry should produce: entertainment for the purpose of entertaining the family. My children grew up watching this and now my grandchildren are. John Ford and cast, thank you.』
(The Quiet Man) 『I love this movie but have had so much trouble getting a DVD that works! I bought the first copy in a store and it never could be seen. It was totally blank. Same thing happened with the one I ordered on Amazon. I don't know what the deal is, but apparently, there is a production problems somewhere.
The movie is great, though (if you can ever see it!) wonderful Irish story about an American man (John Wayne) who returns to his roots and encounters a very proud, feisty Irish lass (Maureen O'Hara. Beautiful Irish landscape scenes.』

(Love this movie) 『Here is one of the movies I loved. like many of the old time movies it is one you never tier of. The wonderful people of Ierland and it grand coutryside which I wish I could see for real makes you feel warm. A man who need to come back home after his pass did nothing but cause him pain. He fines love and good friends. What more can one ask for. Like other old movies its a keeper. One to show family and friends from time to time when there is nothing on TV that is good and clean to watch.

What he finds there is a fiery prospective spouse (Maureen O'Hara) and a country greener than any Ireland seen before or since--it's no surpriseThe Quiet Manwon an Oscar for cinematography. It also won an Oscar for John Ford's direction, his fourth such award. The film was a deeply personal project for Ford (whose birth name was Sean Aloysius O'Fearna), and he lavished all of his affection for the Irish landscape and Irish people on this film. He also stages perhaps the greatest donnybrook in the history of movies, an epic fistfight between Wayne and the truculent Victor McLaglen--that's Ford's brother, Francis, as the elderly man on his deathbed who miraculously revives when he hears word of the dustup. Barry Fitzgerald, the original Irish elf, gets the movie's biggest laugh when he walks into the newlyweds' bedroom the morning after their wedding, and spots a broken bed. The look on his face says everything.The Quiet Manisn't the real Ireland, but as a delicious never-never land of Ford's imagination, it will do very nicely.--Robert Horton』

They are "My Lord and Master", "I have dreamed" and Anna's soliloquy. Were these filmed and then removed from the final cut of the film? If so, does the 50th anniversary edition of the film provide these songs as "extras"? I think any "special edition" DVD-release of a film MUST include all material that was later removed by the studio for whatever reason; as included in the latest releases of "South Pacific", "Mutiny on the Bounty" and "Bells are Ringing" to name only three.

On a side note, the women thought the game was great!
』
(Can you repeat the question?) 『This is probably a good game for 2 or 3 couples. I have unfortunatly played it twice with a much larger group and been wishing it was over about half way through both times.
I think it has redeeming value however, and here are my suggestions on how to improve this game if you want to play it as a GROUP PARTY GAME:
Instead of having to decide which question to ask the other team (which is coma inducing if you are the team waiting), borrow the Ace, Duce, and Three from a deck of cards, or steal three poker chips and write a 1, 2, 3 on them and put them in a hat. Have the question receiving team draw a card or chip when it is their turn, then ask them that question. Set a one-minute timer. They have only that amount of time to come up with an answer. This will keep the game moving and people from leaving the room for drink refills and potty breaks, and to check the latest scores on the basketball game while waiting for the girls to choose which question to ask the guys. and the girls from going hoarse yelling, "OKAY, we're ready!"
We didn't really understand the rules about "taking a prisoner" or how that prisoner finally escapes, so we just forgot about that and didn't do it. If we landed on a space already occupied by the other team's pawn, we got to have a question asked of our own gender - the other team got to pick which question though, and if we got it right our next two questions came off that same card.
Also, any time we landed on a wild card spot we drew a wild card and followed its directions.
』
(Different STYLES of questions....) 『Know this before buying the game..... the mens' and womens' questions are entirely two different STYLES of questions. The questions that the women have to answer are "object based," such as, "What tool would you use to drive a nail into a piece of wood?" (hammer). The questions the men have to answer are primarily random survey questions that NOBODY knows exactly, such as, "What PERCENTAGE of women say they enjoy romantic movie comedies more than romance novels?" Of course the women kicked our butts with us having to answer questions like those, but we tested our theory...
We switched the questions. Men answer the men questions and women answer the women questions. We beat them worse than they had beaten us (and by a long shot). Why? The women couldn't answer their own questions at all... because NOBODY would know the answers. It was ridiculous. Don't waste your money.』 『Combat was never so fun! The aim of the game is to test your knowledge of the opposite sex through a series of gender-based trivia questions. Does she know what an odometer is? Could he tell you how to stop a hole in your pantyhose from getting any bigger? To spice things up, the battle gets a little tougher with wild cards. These cards could either propel you to an easy victory-- for buying diamonds for her birthday-- or send you catapulting backwards-- for borrowing his razor to shave your legs! For 2 to 6 players or teams. Recommended Age: 12 and up』 『The Battle of the Sexes Game is about defending your gender tooth and nail. It's the perfect game for couples, or groups of couples, who want to have fun and watch the hormones fly while they're at it. As a proponent of your sex, you must test your knowledge of the opposite sex by answering questions from a series of gender-based question cards. Some questions appear terribly easy, until you realize that the opposite sex must answer them. For instance, how easy would it be for a woman to answer the following: "What is Grolsch?" Answer: beer. "What does a Zamboni do?" Answer: resurfaces the ice on hockey rinks. And, what about a man answering these: "Which member of the bridal party usually throws the bridal shower?" Answer: the maid/matron of honor. "How many birth control pills come in a single pack?" Answer: 28. And then there are wild cards for each gender that are good lines of defense against the opposite sex. Examples: "Make her carry your golf clubs? Go back three." "You offer to be his designated driver,again? Move ahead one."
After being given two tokens (red for females, blue for males), flip a coin, shuffle the four subject-decks (separately), and have at it. The battle of the sexes is carried out on a hilarious, cartoonish game board. Extras: You can place a time limit for each answer to really get the drama going, and therewillbe drama. You can also place a side bet on your date or significant other--if for no other reason than to light a fire under his/her chair and profit from it. Guaranteed fun for after dinner or group get-togethers.--Diane Beall』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Cult Classic Adult Game) 『I have to take two stars from the overall rating because it's over a decade since Blue Heat was originally released.
<>It is almost as hard to find the XP patch as it is to find a copy of the game. (One star gone) <>The graphics are by current standards almost unplayable/obsolete on current graphics cards. (For 640x480 movie graphics one star gone)
That said Blue Heat is one of the last great live action adult games that ever made it to mainstream distribution in the 90's. The plot line is comparable to most of the current softcore "Hentia" style Japanese graphic novel games but with the branch of the plot you follow defined more by how well you (as the detective) have solved the case then by the dialog you choose.
Lots of hard bodies, Just the right amount of T&A, and a plot fit for a prime time Crime Drama. Rare in 1997 Blue Heat is Ultra Rare now in 2009, not because of the difficulty in finding a copy but because it really does require you to play the role of detective instead of just clicking dialog. Sit back with a pad of paper, some snacks, and enjoy solving a well planned murder mystery.

First of all, these handcuffs are very durable and look real (i'm no handcuff expert, but i'm pretty convinced these are real). they do double lock, you just have to know how to do it if you read the instructions, although mine didn't seem to work for both handcuffs like it should, it still doesn't make me rate it any worse than the five stars it deserves for its exelent quality.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Lighthearted Swift Kick in the Pants) 『Steve Harvey takes a comical approach to a challenging situation. The truth is that a lot of women single, in a relationship and married want a male's opinion on how to improve or begin a good relationship but noone wants to hear the truth from the male's perspective. Mr. Harvey takes women to task on alot of valid issues that we could benefit from and I love him for it.
As a happily married woman of 10 years, I didn't mind reading some of Steve Harvey's "1950's" approach to relationships because the truth of the matter is that many want the benefits of a 1950's relationship without the responsibility. You can't have your cake and eat it too without remembering that their are sacrifices that come along with it no matter which way you choose. Believe me I have been eating alot of cake but have learned a valuable lesson.
Mr. Harvey lovingly and comically suggests things that will improve or enhance a good woman's arsenal of things to know. Some things that he states sound simple and sometimes downright archaic but then again I point to the fact that it is a man's insight as to how to really get into their loved one's head without manipulating him but simply supporting and respecting him. As a matter of fact what's archaic about needing your partner's support even when you mess up? Why would you tell your man the obvious? It's like telling you that you have a run in your stockings repeatedly by different people. (but I digress)
Even in the points that we disagree on (90 day rule/premarital sex) he still leaves room for the fact that my values says that we have control. Men will only do what we allow them to do in terms of that.
I'll take a light hearted kick in the pants any day that makes me take a long hard look at what I have done or not and say I agree or disagree with these points any day. Here's to Mr. Steve Harvey.』
(I Loved It) 『This is a must read. I couldn't put the book down because it has such great advice and it all makes sense. Steve's being real in this book and I loved it.』
(Steve Harvey hit home on this one...) 『Succumbing to all the hype and hoopla over this Steve Harvey book: "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man," I broke down and ordered this book from Amazon.com over this past summer. My college buddy, Toi, and I decided to read it together, especially since both of us are single, we wanted to find out what men are truly thinking, etc. We needed to hear it from a man's perspective; a man who was secure and open to offer all their secrets.
Needless to say, I was very impressed with this book. I even ear-marked, highlighted and wrote in the margins my little 2 cents, so that I may later read back and either crack up or have a personal "aha moment."
However, I just have one minor critical comment. As an author myself, it was obvious to me that Steve didn't actually write this book, but that it was penned by an ingenious Ghost Writer. Not that I myself is all that brilliant, actually, it's just that the end of the book was written by someone else, as the styles were completely different. Thus, I will deduce that Steve Harvey actually wrote the ending of this book, especially since it could have used some polishing, editing, etc. Now, why didn't this Ghost Writer edit that man's stuff? A real faux paus there, but other than that; a brilliant read.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. You will "laugh" where appropriate; "think" when necessary; and "change" to accommodate.

I honestly thought the series was over when Elena came back in Dark Reunion. I was so excited when I found out there was more! The book started out amazing. I LOVED how Elena was like a baby. It showed how much Stefan loved her because he took care of her. The ending left me breathless though. I have to wait til March to find out what will happen next. I hate these cliffhangers. Overall the book kept me entertained. I read the majority of it over the weekend. To those who say they were disappointed... Well maybe they just didn't understand the book. Idk. I loved it anyway. I'd suggest it to all of The Vampire Diaries fans. I NEED STEFAN BACK!!! I can't wait til March!!!』
(I, for one, enjoyed it!) 『When I heard that the Vampire Diaries TV series was based on a set of books, I decided to read them before the show started. I'm a big Twilight fan, so it wasn't hard to sell me on another teenage vampire series. :-) And I have to say I've grown very fond of this series, both the TV and book versions.
The NUMBER ONE reason to love both TV and books? DAMON. I love this character(!), and Ian Somerhalder's performance on the show nails every aspect of Damon that I've ever imagined. Maybe that's why I liked this book so well . . . because I could "hear" Ian as Damon speaking the words in my head as I read them. The fact that Damon was featured as the "leading man" in this book instead of Stefan also pleased me to no end, as Stefan's stability can come across at times as boring. (I can't help but compare him to Edward in Twilight, who is just so much more interesting to me for some reason, even though they're very similar characters.) But L.J. Smith has indeed done something brilliant with her creation of and focus on Damon.
I don't want to dwell on the plot because I'm sure other reviewers have gone well into detail. I just want to say that I enjoyed this read and was willing to go on the journey that the author put forth. After five books I've now come to think of the core characters as a modern day "Scooby Gang." I just can't help but think of Fred, Thelma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo trying to solve supernatural mysteries when reading about the scrapes that Matt, Meredith, and Bonnie get into because of Elena, Stefan, and Damon in this supernatural universe. And I like it! In this respect, I think this series has the potential to "blow up" in terms of the world L.J. Smith can create and the characters she can develop.
Yes, I do agree that the book was too long for the amount of plot development, but I enjoyed spending time with these characters all the same. Do I want more character development in future books? Yes. But I think this book did an excellent job of paying attention to each of our protagonists and making us WANT to read more about them. That the author teased us with a possible Bonnie/Damon match was just icing on the cake. WHAT IF, as much as Damon wants Elena, he's really meant for our sweet little witch? I know, I know. But what about Bonnie&Matt?! See? The possibilities are so much fun to contemplate!
I'm really looking forward to the next book to be released in March 2010.
』
(Can't bring myself to finish it...) 『I've only gotten through the first 100 pages and I don't think I can go any farther. It is just bad. Poorly written, with little logic for how we went from 1992 to the age of mobile phones and PCs. The plotline is tedious and tiring. I have read the other Vampire Diaries books and they were much better. I don't think the author should have messed with a good thing.』
(Different) 『this book is still good but it's a little different from others. Still worth reading it』
(This is the worst thing I have ever read.) 『I'll be honest, started watching the TV show and I really enjoy it so I thought I'd pick up the books. The first 2 in the series were good.... the 2nd two were kind of going downhill. And THIS one is horrible. It really is the worst thing I have ever read I am sorry to say :( It was confusing, way too long with nothing going on..... I am just so so so so disappointed. :( I'm not sure if I should try her other series or not?』 『
The first book in a new trilogy from L. J. Smith!
Elena Gilbert is aliveâagain.
When Elena sacrificed herself to save the two vampire brothers who love herâthe handsome, brooding Stefan and the sleek and dangerous Damonâshe was consigned to a fate beyond death. Until a powerful supernatural force pulled her back.
Now Elena is notjusthuman. She has powers and gifts that were bestowed on her in the afterlife. What's more, her blood pulses with an overwhelming and unique force that makes her irresistible to any vampire.
Stefan wants to find a way to keep Elena safe so that they can make a life together. Damon, however, is driven by an insatiable desire for power, and wants Elena to rule as his princess. When Stefan is lured away from Fell's Church, Damon seizes his chance to convince her that he is the brother she is meant to be with. . . .
But a darkness is infiltrating the town, and Damon, always the hunter, is now the hunted; he becomes the prey of a malevolent creature that can possess him at will, and who desires not just Elena's blood but her death.

(Couldn't put it down) 『This book was a fantastic read - even if you're not familiar with Jenna Jameson. I had never heard of her yet couldn't put the book down.』
(Kind of a downer...) 『I think my expectations got in the way of my enjoying this book. Jenna Jameson is the ultimate adult actress, and she is also the consumate business woman. In addition to her looks, she is intelligent, otherwise she would not have risen to the top of the adult industry. So I had hoped to read about how she conquered the industry and rose to the top. There is some of that, to be sure, but the lion's share of the book is how she bounced from one bad relationship to another, always self-destructing and falling back in to some sort of addiction. I expected some of that, but it's pretty much the entire book. I actually ended up feeling really bad for her, even at the end with her new found happiness and new husband and all her success. (Knowing that the second marriage she wrote so fondly of at the end of the book ended in divorce after publication didn't help much, either).
On the bright side, there are a lot of extras in the book that I didn't expect, such as the cartoons and the diary entries. There are also a lot of photographs which certainly add to the overall value of the book.
After reading Christy Canyon's book and Ron Jeremy's book, I guess I expected something a bit more positive. Canyon and Jeremy put a human side on pornography, and I expected the same out of Jameson. But after the drugs and bad relationships, there wasn't much time for that. 』
(A Cautionary Tale Indeed!) 『After watching Jenna Jameson's E True hollywood story and hearing about her book I thought I would go ahead and give it a try. Wow! This book more than surpassed my expectations Jenna doesn't hold anything back from talking about the death of her mother at a young age to her leaving home at the age of sixteen to lead a life that would eventually drive her into the world of porn. This book is raw and real and leaves nothing to the imagination. I recommend this book for anyone who wants a good read I couldn't put it down. In my opinion one of the best biographies out there right now.』
(What's The Big Deal) 『I really don't see the value in this book period. First, porn stars get paid to have sex, so what makes them supposedly so sensual? If you think about the premise, to make love like a porn star means having sex as part of a business transaction. Sadly, we admire porn stars thinking they are all sensual and erotic. If you took the money away you think they would still be that "hot?" This book is more an indicement about our voyeristic and puritanical society that is sad.』 『
When the stewardess brought me off the plane in a wheelchair, I lowered my head. I was too scared to even look at my father. I didn't want to see the disappointment and horror on his face. All that hate I had accumulated for him over the years, all the resentment against him for not understanding what I was going through, just released with the tears.
"So, where are your parents?" the stewardess asked me after a few minutes. "I can't wait here with you much longer."
I looked up and wiped my eyes. My father was standing ten feet away. He didn't even recognize me.
In the underbelly of Las Vegas, a cesspool of warring biker gangs and seedy strip clubs transformed the gawky, brace-faced Jenna Massoli into the bombshell Jenna Jameson. Today, Jenna Jameson is the biggest star in the history of adult movies, consistently ranked as one of the most beautiful women alive. But behind the glamour and the meteoric rise to fame was a path paved with tragedy and heartbreak. As a teenager drawn into a chaotic world ruled by rape, abuse, and murder, Jenna plunged into a downward spiral of addiction, even as she became one of the most photographed women in adult magazines.
Determined to overcome this past, Jenna rebounded in the adult-film business, where she encountered sadistic directors, experienced lovers of both sexes, amorous celebrities (from Howard Stern to Marilyn Manson to Tommy Lee), bitter rival starlets, and finally, glory, as she went on to become the biggest porn star the world has ever seen. But her struggle for happiness did not end when the accolades began. For years she wrestled with her resentment at her estranged father, the loneliness of growing up from the age of two without a mother, and her enduring childhood desire to find a man who could give her the security and love she never had.
Her unforgettable memoir is many things at once: a shocking sexual history, an insider's guide to the secret workings of the billion-dollar adult-film industry, and a gripping thriller that probes deep into Jenna's dark past. An unparalleled exploration of sexual freedom, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star ventures far beyond the flesh, into the heart-shredding tragedies and adrenaline-pumping triumphs of a woman who has already lived a hundred lifetimes. Always witty and humorous even as she faces the demons of her past, Jenna offers hilarious anecdotes about one of the most controversial businesses in history, and shares outrageous advice, including her ten commandments of dating and sex, how to become a "suitcase pimp," and how to make it in the business as a female (or a male).
Add to this never-before-seen photographs from Jenna's private collection and others taken exclusively for this book, and the result is certain to be one of the most talked-about books of the year.』
