Pornstar: The Legend of Ron Jeremy?

It' s in my Blockbuster que.
Is it even worth a watch??

Oh yeah, if any one is intersted in checking it out 'Riding Giants', I highly reccomend checking it out.

It's one of the best docs. i've seen in a while...besides Supersize Me

No Dice for me, though it's languishing at 50+ in my Netflix queue...

I saw the ron jeremy movie in an indie theater..

was fun...but something probably better suited for the compfort of your own home, and not in a theater full of strangers...thats kind of awkward.

Me too. There is a very long wait for it.


That is the only thing I dont like about online renting.
Most of the dvds I want have a short to a very long wait.

What is "Riding Giants"?

Then again, I thought "Supersize Me" was pretty weak.

Documentery on the history of surfing.
It's great!


You thought it was weak...really??

What did'nt you like about it?
I really liked it.

Pornstar gives a different insight into the life of Ron and pornstars in general. it's a good documentary.

Riding Giants is fantastic! I'm a sucker for surfing docs, but this is one of my favs [as well as Thicker Than Water].

Is "Riding Giants" the one where they also go to Wisconsin and surf Lake Michigan? If so, I think I saw part of it OnDemand and meant to go back later.

As for Supersize Me, it's been a while since I saw it and little of it has actually stuck in my gourd, so forgive me if this isn't fleshed out too well.

I think my main problem is it left me wanting something more insightful or researched. It seemed to be afflicted with the backwards compatible method of documentary making which finds a position and then works to build the movie to support this position, rather than starting with a problem and hypothesis and working forward to a conclusion.

I thought the premise was amusing, but just fell flat. He wasn't seeking to show why or how moreso than complain about his physical ailments that are frightening yet unquantifiable (see: headache, fatigue, loss of libido) and suddently develop chest pains, which, rightfully or not, I tend to believe were added for dramatic effect.

I may be wrong, but I also didn't buy the whole fry experiment. If memory serves, I remember reading an article about McDonalds fries years ago that offered up one reason why their fries taste different than other fast food joints. This article stated that McDonalds dehydrates the potatoes before processing them into fries, while other restaurants do not go through this extra process.

If that is the case, wouldn't it be a reasonable assumption that with a lower concentration of water plus more salt, a preservative, heaped onto a shoestring potato fried crispy in oil would make the shelf-life considerably longer than that of another non-fast food restaurant's steak fry? The steak fry would be thicker, containing less oil and likely less salt, plus the potato would have a higher concentration of water with the lack of dehydration process.

To me, to act as if the fries are otherworldly somehow for their lack of decompsition is disingenuous. He acts as if they are still in their original state months later, yet if you picked one up and ate it, I'm sure that assumption would fly out the window immediately. It would be stale, it just appears to be in the same condition.

Riding Giants is about Big Wave surfing...not just surfing in general.

Riding Giants is done by the same crew as Dog Town and the Z Boys, and has a similar x factor that made both awesomly awesome.

i think that x factor is a bit of excited hyperbole that you can't help but smile and agree with.

I agree with j. santana's 'awesomely awesome' endorsement.
