I was talking to my porn-star friend the other day (and I challenge myself to ever come up with a cooler opening line than that) about how pornos could have vastly-improved acting.I told her that it seemed to me that the people in these films are simply "doing" instead of "feeling" when it comes to delivering their lines. If they created some emotional specificity behind each word, they'd instantly upgrade their performances.
The problem, my friend explained to me, is that these actors for the most part don't enjoy what they must go through to earn a buck, so they purposely shut down their feelings in order to get through some rather challenging occupational hazzards.
Very interesting. And a teeny bit depressing. Unfortunately, every day my friend dispels the cool myths about adult film actresses with that damn brain of hers.
