Well, the title of the thread IS "Under-rated Pornstar" (singularly).
Just to make you f*****g hate me: it could have also meant "who is the most under-rated pornstar" or "name an under-rated pornstar". Still singular. If you wanted to talk about Rebecca Linares only, you could have wrote for example "is RL an under-rated pornstar?". And as you can see by most of the postings in this thread, most people misread the title. And if nine out of ten people misread such an easy phrase like "under-rated pornstar", well, than perhaps the creator of that phrase should have made himself a little bit more clear.
You seem to look down on gonzo or think it's gutter porn, we'll just have to disagree on that if that's the case. Porn is not good IMO if it looks like acting...as a matter of fact, no acting is good if it looks like acting. If you're mugging for a camera or have a ton of fake ooohs and ahhhs that's no good porn.
Well, I think you misunderstood me completely. I don't look down on gonzo porn in general. There's a lot of gonzo porn I like very much. The things I spoke of can be seen in every porn genre.
I said, that a pornstar, who in almost every or even every scene needs to do deepthroat to the point where she drools half her body fluids out and (nearly) pukes, who does dp or anal gaping in almost every scene, who likes to get spit on or who likes the male performer's stinky, sweaty, dirty foot on her face while getting fucked in the ass...well a pornstar like that is in my opinion not a pornstar whose scenes will target the average porn viewer. To say it with the words of the band System of a Down: "It's a violent pornography, choking chicks and sodomy!". And I'm not even talking about things that are far more out there like scat or donkey punching.
I like Rebecca Linares, but if I stop watching a porn scene (not a boring movie or something, a porn scene!!!) because I'm fed up with the ass rape like scenario or because the girl goes on my nerves because she drools and spits and almost pukes through half the scene, than she's not all time top pornstar material for me personally. And RL falls into that category with at least half of the scenes she's done. And she has done a lot. And if you ask me, my taste is pretty normal in that. I like to see fucking on screen, not constant pain, seas of drool, anal triple penetrations and foot-on-face humiliations, much less our mexican "friend" sanchez..the dirty one...
You should correct your "image" of mainstream porn, if you ask me, because mainstream porn is normal g/g or b/g. And I don't mind if a girl drools or wants to do anal. Still mainstream. But "mainstream" ends at some point.
In short: RL is in my opinion not under-rated, because she has done a lot, is booked regularly and is well-known. But she will not (and deserves not to) rise to a higher level if she keeps doing mostly scenes only a fraction of the porn viewers can truly enjoy.
