How about a biopic on 'Traci Lords' now?


Traci Lords is only a slightly more believable as a "victim of porn" than Lovelace since she was underage. But it was SHE not the porn industry who falsified her identification, yet it was a lot of THEM not her who went to jail for "distributing child pornography", so the victim-hood is questionable to say the least.

I'm sure such a movie would be as preachy, sanctimonious and outright untrue as this, but it would actually stir up some REAL controversy because they'd either use an actual underage actress, which would outrage a bunch of people even though there would obviously be no nudity--or much more likely, they'd use an over-18 actress with some amount of nudity, which will be equally outrageous because most Americans can't separate reality and fiction when it comes to S-E-X (so an adult actress doing nudity while playing a 16 or 17-year-old porn star, who actually looked like she was about 25, is practically tantamount to child pornography).

This movie was not only boring and very dishonest, but worse, it didn't even wad anyone's panties up too much. So bring on the "Traci Lords Story".

The movie that would make Elle Fanning a superstar.

Have you seen The Neon Demon? Lol.

This movie flopped because it was pretty weak, for starters, but I doubt a Traci Lords film would be much better unless a more competent director were used.

Wouldn't be as interesting except to pornophiles. The whole point of what made Lovelace a cultural icon is not the actress but the cultural popularity of the movie Deep Throat. None of TRacy Lords' movies had the same impact since the novelty and curiosity of porn among the public had passed.

While Linda Lovelace' life became a media circus because of the movie and other controversy in her life, the main attraction of Lords is that she was underage while making pornography. She hasn't done much else controversial besides act in movies.

Well, the target audience may get slightly younger, I guess.

Youre as obvious as Quentin Tarantinos foot fetish.

Agree Tracy Lords FTW. That would be a good biopic. Who would play her?

The biggest problem is portraying a character involved in porn while underage.

It's that man again!!
