I was really disappointed in this movie. I have such high expectations when it comes to anything James Franco does, but this movie was horrifyingly terrible. It also didn't help that the lead actor, Val Lauren, acted like a little bitch through out the entire thing.

imdb lists Val Lauren's role as "Val / Steve". imdb also lists the movie as a drama, no a documentary. So was this a 100% scripted film shot as a documentary? Because I also thought Val was quite whiny and felt frustrated that he had been cast to do this movie and seemed not at all open to what the movie was about. So did the writer create a straight guy as the lead who was uncomfortable with the subject matter...to represent the audience and their lack of comfort with the topic of gay sex and/or kinky sex? If that's the case, then it's the role of "Val / Steve" that we have a problem with, not the actor Val Lauren. I'm asking because I'm not sure how much of the movie was scripted and how much was truly what these guys felt and thought.
shareAnything Val Lauren has done with Franco has been awful.He kisses Franco's ass, obviously, for accepting this kind of crap. No shame. No integrity.
Lauren is Franco's "Go To Boy" in casting leads in Franco's experimental freak shows, usually all shot in less than a week, for less than $25,000.
And all go straight to video. Some never get picked-up.
For good reason.
Yeah, that actor sucked. I could tolerate the "film" because it was only an hour long. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
