First things first: Yes, Thinking XXX features adult film stars. No, the HBO production is not a porno. Nor does it include any clips. The documentary instead offers an introduction to the biggest names in the business, like Gina Lynn and Lukas Ridgeston. For his book, XXX - 30 Porn-Star Portraits, celebrity photographer Timothy Greenfield-Saunders shot the stars both clothed and unclothed. In the film, they talk about their work while getting their hair and make-up done, posing for pictures, playing with their pets, etc. They're presented as real people rather than actors (which just may destroy the fantasy for some fans). In the print edition, 15 writers, including author Nancy Friday, musician Lou Reed, and filmmaker John Waters, contribute their thoughts on pornography. They also appear on screen (fully clothed, of course). Some are quite critical. The biggest revelation isn't the nude bodies, readily available via videos and calendars, but what they have to say. Unlike Star 80 or Inside Deep Throat, there are no horror stories about physical or verbal abuse, but the talk is still frank and uncensored. Sean Michaels, for instance, opens up about race, while Chad Hunt discusses homosexuality. Interestingly, cover model Jenna Jameson doesn’t utter a single word, possibly because she has already told her life story in the bestselling autobiography How to Make Love Like a Porn Star. --Kathleen C.

"Thinking XXX"
Looking at Porn
Amos Lassen
"Thinking XXX" is a documentary film based on a series of interviews with people who are involved in pornography. Most look at what they do with the idea that sex is just a job that must be done well. We meet the stars and see their bodies but do not see them perform and this gives a sense of authenticity to the DVD. I actually learned something by watching this.

Rating: - EXCELLENT INFORMATION
THIS DVD PRESENTS IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING SEX AND THE PROPER REPRESENTATION ABOUT WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO FOR THE VEIWING PUBLIC. THIS INFORMATION PROVIDES QUALITY AND A SAFE MESSAGE THAT SHOULD BE APPLICABLE TO EACH HUMAN BEING ON THIS EARTH. A VITAL DVD TO BE SEEN BY ALL.
Rating: - Lou Reed...
The conceit for this project is trite, and the difference in the respect shown to the commentators and that shown to the performers belies the director's stated aim.
However, do rent this, purchase it used, do whatever you need to do to see Lou Reed's hilarious recitation of porn tropes in the "Extras." It's the Lou you thought you'd never see; relaxed, genial, laughing and genuinely funny, playing off his own myth.
Rating:  - It's about time someone spotlighted the positive side.
Thinking XXX (Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, 2004)
I've been stepping up my watching of documentaries these past few years. Sort of a combination of feeling like too much of the time I spend in front of a screen is wasted and wanting to find out more about subjects that I know nothing, or little, about. It's not that much of a sacrifice when you've got stuff like this out there waiting to be seen. Celebrated photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, while taking the photos for his book XXX: ...

Rating:  - Mindless Spin.
This is a perfect portrait of the way in which our society accepts practically everything from anybody. Personally, I don't have any problems with pornography and I never really have, but I found the rah rah take on the business to be rather offensive. The porn stars profiled here are celebrities and their interviews portray only a kindly spin on the industry as a whole. There is no interlocutor voice so the narrative's angle is entirely positive. In America, people are free to make lifestyle choices ... Read More
