Hot Girls Wanted

This is a good doc to watch. But with the producer growing up with privilege she didn't portray this very well. She made it out to be that these girls are so deprived and feel stuck that this was their easy outlet to a better life. No, these girls are from middle classed families not deprived. She makes is out to be industry is dangerous and wrong. But, by looking at it in this situation it isn't the case. These girls were there on their own free will. They have a roof over their heads and that scout books their gigs and goes with them to them. That scout does it in such a way that the girls are not forced into anything shady or put them in danger in anyway. If they want to leave or want out he lets them. These girls come to him not vise versa. So I didn't like how they were making it out to be that this industry is a bad situation. The material contradicts the theme of the Documentary. If you want to do a doc about this then use subject that fits your vision. Not the exact opposite.

When I saw that a new documentary just came out and it was gaining a lot of attention in social media, I assumed I knew what the film would be--about countless women being exploited by evil pimp-like guys. Well, the truth for the women in this picture was quite a bit different. Sad, but very different.

A camera crew somehow was allowed into a home owned by a young entrepreneur named Riley. Riley recruits girls 18-25 from Craigslist. However, he doesn't trick them in any way--he offers them airplane tickets to his home in Miami and they move there specifically to make porn. The home is filled with a half dozen or so aspiring 'actresses' and the crew interviews them and follows them on some of their jobs. They are there to have sex on camera and supposedly live an exciting life in the sun.

The part about all this that surprised me is that the film does NOT show strung-out drug addicts or illegal aliens forced into sex slavery. Instead, the girls seem to come from rather normal backgrounds and they want to be porn stars for fast money--bored girls with no thoughts about tomorrow. And, while I am sure some will find my words harsh, they seem incredibly vacuous and selfish. AIDS, pregnancy and the realities of the industry seemed irrelevant to these stars. They are simply out to have a good time and that's all that matters to them...end of story. This brings us to a major weakness in the film. You really don't care about these ladies because they all seemed to know exactly what they were getting into and they weren't very nice folks. They seem completely amoral and self-absorbed, so it really was hard to find much in the way of meaning to all this. As a father of two daughters, I was horrified by these women and their attitudes...but felt at least in these stories, they were involved with their eyes wide open...at least most of the time. The proliferation of rape and violence porn came as a surprise to me and some of them, as their fun lives (as they put it) stopped being fun when they were deliberately hurt or completely degraded in a few of the films. This part was a bit shocking as well as quite sad--and this was one case where I did feel for a couple of the girls, as they were raped or nearly raped to satisfy some guys' bizarre fantasies.

Overall, this film is mildly interesting but overly long. I really think with some editing, it would have been a more impactful film. As it is, I just found myself a bit bored with some of the girls' stories, though I was at least happy to see that a few of them chose to leave this self-imposed life. Technically, the camera-work was okay and the viewing experience was much like watching a reality TV show as opposed to a typical documentary. Interestingly, the film's executive producer is Rashida Jones--yes, Quincy Jones' daughter and who played Ann on Parks and Recreation. You can watch it streaming on Netflix if you'd like.

Hot girls wanted is a documentary about young girls who enter the porn industry. We get to see how everything starts for them (generally via craigslist), what they go through, and how fast the majority tries to get out of there. Hot girls wanted is a bit of an eye opener and some of the things you see will probably make you feel terrible about having watched porn yourself. It makes you understand ever more that most that happen in porn in just acting and nothing else. While you probably knew that, I am not sure that people are aware how much the actresses actually dislike what they do.

As a cinematographic piece, the documentary is not good, and I am not sure it will be very successful as people are probably more interested in watching porn than watching a documentary against it. But if you are mildly curious about this whole industry that has taken over the world by storm, and the effects of an ever increasing number of sexually orientated images in our society, then you should consider watching Hot Girls Wanted. Warning, you may not want to watch porn for a while

I say it should have been called "Young Girls Wanted" because what enabled the objects of this film to make money in the adult industry was definitely not their looks, but their ages.

Hot girls Wanted is an interesting (albeit skewed) documentary about one very small aspect of the adult industry. HGW focuses on a few girls who go off to a flop house in FL to take advantage of the money available to them via making adult videos. The film focuses in on just one or two of these girls, thus giving you an extremely myopic look at what is arguably the biggest, most lucrative industry in history. While you couldn't possible get a feel (pun intended) for the adult industry by following even a hundred or a thousand talents around, just how much can you expect to learn from following a few? And these few are rock bottom amateurs being managed by a rock bottom amateur.

I find it amusing how people rectify capitalism with instances of it where other people are making money doing things that they a) don't like, b) wouldn't do themselves, and/or c) wouldn't want family doing. Seems to me that the phrase "they're being taken advantage of" or "they're being manipulated" comes in quite handy to folks who can't grapple with the fact that quite often, what makes money valuable is that it gets people to do stuff they normally wouldn't do. Maybe it's a plumber who deals with feces on a daily basis, maybe it's the person that's flipping burgers for minimum wage, or maybe it's someone exhibiting sexual behavior on film. And while I'm certain there are people who do all of these jobs and love doing them, the fact is that most are doing it for the money. You could make the same movie and title it "Plumbers Wanted" or "Short Order Cooks Wanted." Either would make the exact same point.

But of course we have the double standard that sex is all at once wonderful and special, but at the same time "bad" to do for money. Please do this little thought experiment... Imagine that there are no more STDs, and that people are able to control their ability to breed 100%. No one ever gets sick, and no one ever gets pregnant (or impregnates someone) if they don't want to. Now ask yourself if it's OK for people (your wife, kid, etc...) to work in this industry. If the answer is "no" then you have some deep thinking to do.

As far as the "morality" of adult content in and of itself, I will offer this... If you wouldn't condone your wife, daughter, mother, son, neighbor, anybody doing it, then you ought not be watching/consuming it.

And I loved the puppy:)

Done by a woman from the Kinsey Institute. Fairly accurate, although a good agent would watch the shoots and not sent a woman from FL to CA for a one hour shoot with a gross guy with a camera and a tripod. A good agent books 3-5 gigs a day and goes WITH for the 10% and protects the woman like high-end merchandise. Especially if she is hot and does anal. The movie research says that 40% of Amateur Teen Porn is exploitive. i.e., having dildoes shoved down their throats until they puke for $300. (More money in turning a trick with a good Escort Service and not "Filmed.") Women are paid 100K a year. They book as many shoots a year as possible to keep their Twitter numbers up in this Miami agency of 8 live-in women. The agent is age 22 and is renting a home. Not a Jewish Macher, but a Newbie himself. Last year he was a busboy at Outback Steak House. A better agent has better women and the gigs pay more. These women are average and open to anything. No bedding as they settle in on bare mattresses. NO condoms. Lots of Pizza & Acne.

This film has a narrow scope as the house of 8 does not represent larger and more seasoned studios and agents that mill the majority of the Amateur Industry through filming. I have been in Adult Industry for over 40-years. As an agent, I know and check out who I send women to. I do not hire women for cam or for porn that are under age 26. This is a decision one must live with for a lifetime. Men record women who do cam and women are often shocked to see their cam session on a paid site. Only WS high court has ordered these removed. Otherwise, they are out there as your history.

The money is in BBW's or Curvey women with a little age. I learned that in the 80's. that most guys who SPEND do NOT fantasize about the teen next door. Men with money do not want to get over, but UNDER. Let's face it, teen porn is equal to recruiting soldiers at 17. EHHH. (Buzz Sound) both are taking advantage of US youth and it is up to us to guide them down a better path.
