Has Treasure Island Fallen Off?

I have to agree. The old Cadinot stuff that I jacked off many times was pretty well bareback, with boy-next-door young studs, SO into the sex they were having, in very real situations, not always just in studio.

Definately, I think this one filmed in a gothic reform school was awesome. The scene in the Dorm was awesome, cum everytime, even years later and that Topdog Luigi Di Como is awesome, love him to do me.

Agreed, with a couple of rimming scenes built in.

Hell yeah. The sluts can also rim the assholes that are getting plowed.

You are right. The new porn stars are too pretty. I like real men breeding and fucked up cum hungry bottoms.

The problem is that all the decent porn stars with any personality or difference know they can make more money on Twitter and onlyfans so the studios can only get Ken dolls off the production line or druggies off the street.

I’ve always enjoyed Treasure Island Media’s movies. Just my two cents but from what I’ve seen and heard from some guys I’ve met in the industry, the pornographic film world has just gone through major changes in the past X years , one of which is the fact that most guys who watch porn no longer pay for it since there’s so much  free stuff to see online.  It also doesn’t pay the actors a whole hell of a lot.  They’ll fly you in, put you up in a hotel for the duration of the shoot which is usually 1-4 days and pay you a few hundred. A lot of the guys do it for their ego (self fulfillment) and that they get to indulge in some good sex with hot guys. That said, an  ‘actor’ I met told me that it can be difficult to maintain an erection etc...when you have a camera shoved in your face, right below your ass. Clinical atmosphere.  Then there’s the pullout and cum scenes and I was told that they often have to shoot several of those and edit them in. I think many of the sought after actors prefer to maximize their income through other means; simple micro economics.

I agree. I logged on yesterday and I noticed there’s a lot of skinny effeminate twinks getting fucked.

i've been railing about this for a couple of years on twitter (so much so that TIM has blocked my old account) - but they def are loosing what made them so great.  also, for me personally i hate the drug content/references.  i don't like to see my bottoms so out of their mind there is no connection.  and that's what made TIM so great back in the day - a real, honest, fuck connection between top and bottom.  so much of it now is slam bam thank you maam.  every time jesse o'toole was fucking someone, it was with so much intensity - you know he was so into and pushed his dick so deep when he came, his btm's were always in ecstasy. it's rare to see that now.  and TIMFUCK - the videos are so hit and miss, for every great scene there are 10 lame ones (i unsubscribe and let the content re-build up, then subscribe again - often regretting it because the price isn't worth the sporadic and boring content).  i miss when TIM was great.

Where is the guy that looks like my neighbor, mechanic or hot college professor? Where’s the hot dialog? Feltching, the piginess?

The other was Dick Wadd. Are they still filming?

TIM was clearly successful in their market.  It's been going on a lot longer than a year, but my impression is that they stuck to a formula, and formulas tend to result in the same thing over and over.  The worst thing in commercial porn is pulling out to cum.  Or maybe even a bit worse is what a lot of European studios seem to do: pull-out to jack in a bottom's mouth.

THis is so true! Even though TIM still makes good videos, its something weird about commercial porn and pulling out lately. Its almost like they feel the need to prove that the guys actually cum, so they pull out, just to shove it back in too late (wasting most of the cum on the outside) or even worse, cum all over the chest or face. The whole point of bareback, manly, sleazy sex is the load going in the ass. What happens after that can vary, multiple loads, squirting, felching.. can all be hot. But if the cum doesnt go in the ass, its like the whole video is wasted for me. The best videos are definitely the ones where the guy unloads without pulling out at all. Just recognizing on his body language and verbal language that he filled the slut with fresh hot cum. 😈🐽

To me two of the best films are What I Can’t See 2 and The 1,000 load fuck. Those are what TIM was all about. One with a bottom who was totally into it, and another which was so piggy, no other film studio would even touch it. In what I can’t see, you can laterally hear the joy and inner slut of the bottom. 
 

I also think that while it’s hard to be a porn star thing is an excuse. Get some real horny studs who aren’t a bunch of divas, or worried about how they’ll look in the camera, and I bet the cum will flow. And if your going to go for the “druggie/street” look, go all the way and get guys who are the authentic thing.
 

Guess maybe that’s why I was never into Brad McGuire: calculated and always pulling out.

Watching O'Toole fuck and then seed the bottom in Plowed, and then watch the threeway where they double fuck the bottom later on in that movie was mind-blowing.   Not to mention the scene from Knocked Up where the anonymous guy with the huge pecs steps up, fucks the guy in the sling, and cums inside all the while another guy is massaging him from behind....

That was the pinnacle of what TIM was about.

Yes I agree, Market has changed, I dont visit often, sad to say.

I do watch the old Cadinot movies more frequently these days especially " savauges"

I do however have a passion for Triga films, the guys are run of the mill, normal working blokes however, would love them to do bareback.

Cadinot was a brilliant porn film maker.  I  love watching his movies.

I hate to point it out but no one has brought it up yet: the whole concept of bareback as "wrong" and "other" is over. BB is the norm thanks to PrEP and people just not giving a shit.

My pinnacle film is Viral Loads (I believed the fantasy that Blue Bailey was neg). Today though, if you made a movie about a bunch of undetectable tops fucking an undetectable bottom, it's like "Yeah? Who cares."

To me the whole notion of depravity is washed out by advances in medicine and social understanding about being poz.

Unfortunately, I also think that applies to sites like this one. It's still hot, but the idea of spreading HIV isn't the risky turnon it was.

I always thought Bad McGuire was overrated. I've seen a lot better tops in random amateur porn.
