Porn Film Director catches shit for crossover

[gonzo]

Lionsgate seems to have an iron stomach for brutally graphic, sado-sexual material (Hard Candy's extended castration sequence, the Hostel ball gag torture, virtually any scene in Madea's Family Reunion, etc...), so you'd think their people wouldn't be the least bit uptight about the director of their latest gorefest's XXX past. Not so, says Page Six:

LIONS Gate is hiding the sleazy porn past of the director of its new horror flick "See No Evil," which opens today, without advance screenings, starring wrestler Kane . While the studio's Web site gushes about Gregory Dark's degrees from Stanford and NYU, his paintings owned by the Whitney, and his video work with Britney Spears and Snoop Dogg, there's not a single word about his 13 years of grinding out ultra-raunchy XXX fare like "Black Throat," "Dr. Penetration" and "White Bunbusters." "We didn't feel it had anything to do with this film," said a Lions Gate rep. Sure.

Nah, sex as a business will always be sleazy. It will be populated by pimps and night club owners. It will never be respectable. Why? Because no one, including the customers, really want it to be. It has to have an element of danger to make it exciting. If it becomes wholesome, Disney takes over and we are fucked.

Porn will NEVER be completely mainstream. It will gain more acceptance over time but it will never lose the stigma it has attached to it.

Page Six is a gossip rag.

wouldn't expect anything else from a tabloid column.
