exactly what is "gonzo"?
 

... uh, well?

that guy with the big nose on the muppets

it looks like its unscripted and aguy has avideo camera shooting the sex...I think?

gonzo is porn where the actor is also the cameraman...kind of like "one on one" porn. or "first person shooting" porn

gonzo=just sex scenes with no coherent plot in the video

could be, not sure though.

I love this guy! :thumbsup

Oh the summoned wisdom of GFY.

... and just think of having him go down on you .. that nose looks like a mr.rabbit or something. :Graucho

Why do you think Gonzo and Pinnochio were my favorite growing up! :1orglaugh

Gonzo porn or gonzo journalism?

Gonzo generally in anything means you're a loose cannon, you break the rules, out of control.

In journalism, gonzo journalists cover subjects that they get involved in themselves, they are not detached observers as journalists are taught to be. Hunter S. Thompson is supposedly the inventor of it. His stuff reads more like fiction than truth but that's the point and his craft I think.

Gonzo porn is sort of the same idea, it broke the rules of all porn that came before it. Before gonzo porn XXX movies were like mainstream movies, a plot, people playing characters, loops were vignettes i.e. pizza man knocks on the door, lady in negligee open door, 'oh dear......... i seem to have lost my purse' BOOM CHAKA BOOM BOOM - suck, fuck THE END'

The father of gonzo porn is Buttman. He threw away plots and all that other stuff. No plots, written dialogue or characters - you are watching a professional pornographer doing his work, the girls don't have a character to hide behind other than their stage
name.

Now the ironic thing is that Bangbus and all the copycat sites that came after it are called 'reality sites' , supposedly more amateur than the movies made by the video studios. No way - the 'reality sites' is 'vignette porn', MILFHunter could be 'Pizza Guy', everybody's playing a character, the only difference is the attempt to create the illusion that what they're seeing is reality. 'Fake reality' sites is what they are. Ed Powers is far more reality than Bangbus.

Buttman, Ed Powers, Seymore Butts - gonzo auteurs.

But now gonzo porn just means porn without any plot or written dialogue. It's also cheap as hell to produce. Scenes are shot in
the offices of the porn vid companies, warehouse, people's houses, anywhere will do.

Thats every single porn movie made

glad someone else pointed this out.

Dr Hunter S Thompson was doing Dr Gonzo journalism years before 'Gonzo' porn even came around.

Dr Gonzo rules.

'You're going to need plenty of legal advice before this thing is over. As your attorney I must advise you that you'll need a very fast car with no top and after that, the cocaine. And then the tape recorder, for special music, and some Acapulco shirts...'

bumping threads with the questionmark bubble is fun!

you know...I don't know. It got e-mailed to me a while ago. Loved the book, didn't care for the movie. Bill Murray and Peter Boyle were funnier in Where the Buffalo Roam.

Sounds like normal porn to me.

"We had two bags of Grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cacaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers.... also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls... but the only thing that worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge..."

Classic!
