2008 in Review: Small studios of the year

As Master Yoda said, happy I was with Pirates 2, but off at me these Japanese Bitches pissed are.

Small studios that fully commit to a niche provided some of the fun, funniest, and fappable fare this year. The following are my three favorites.

1. Third World Media

It is not possible for you to imagine my joy when I open a box full of porn to find titles like Hairless Asian Clams, Japanese Whale Watch, Miss Big Ass Brazil, and Pissed Off Japanese Bitches. With subtitling, humor, and a guarantee that each scene will actually relate to the title, Third World’s follow-through is remarkable.

And even their gay and tranny products are compelling enough for me to get over my queasiness (for a while, anyway), like the Japanese belt sander to the scrotum think piece Rice Rockets (pictured), the horrifying Foreskin Frenzy, and the Double-whammy domme and tranny exercise Gia Darling Will Kick Your Ass.

2. Harmony Films


It is the humor and choice of talent that distinguishes Harmony Films from its higher-overhead competitors. Guided by madman Scots director Gazzman and the level-headed, Priva-drowning Dave West, Harmony Films is distributed in the U.S. by Evil Angel and has tentacles reaching around the world, including Porn Week.

A personality-driven company with the likes of Poppy Morgan and Bobbi Starr competing with the scene-stealing Gazzman for attention (a difficult task), Harmony Films often breaks talent that become famous elsewhere, such as Vivid’s Nikki Jayne and Jean Jacobs.

3. Chatsworth Pictures

If comedy is tragedy + time, Chatsworth Pictures posits that Porn is tragedy2 + time – health insurance and pants.

To call someone in porn an “industry veteran” carries about the same amount of enjoyment and emotional uplift as going to a high school reunion, single and successful, and finding all your ex-girlfriends fat, fat, fat.

Yet Chatsworth Pictures’ impresarios Cram and Grip Johnson are industry veterans, and their world-weary cynicism bleeds through every frame of movies like the Cuckold series and its spinoffs, including Mandinka Parties and I Can’t Believe You Sucked A Negro.

If more small studios produced porn like those listed above, well, it would take me longer to write this list. But note my cultural sensitivity displayed in the top picture from Pissed Off Japanese Bitches in which I substitute a Honda Ridgeline for my traditional cockblocking Hummer 2.
