taw·dry (adjective): showy but cheap and of poor quality.
ex: "tawdry jewelry"
Similar: gaudy, flashy, showy, garish, loud, tasteless, vulgar, brashYou were making art. Now it's just cheap, tawdry, 3D porn.
More or less (wouldn;t use the word tawdry, but rather "less grand"). Used to have an annual sub at Wankz/MILFVR because they used to pump out really good sscenes with good actresses (Kali Roses, Gina Valentina being regulars) and good stories (Stepmom's Little Helper, the Easter/Xmas scenes, Downward Doggystyle, Circle of Wife, Bargain Banging...) Now most scenes are around 40-50 mins (as if they have some "limit"), rather vanilla without much innovation.
Similarly for SLRO, just getting the feeling that scenes are shorter lately, with 1 hr+ grand productions rarer and rarer (the most recent decent watchable FFM production being the Lexi Stone+Jill Kassidy scene, which by the way was good, the Mile High Club simply wasn't watchable for me). Is it because Nash is in Europe and other directors do not like to shoot long scenes? Good storylines are more and more sparse (with the exception of the Blake series). I know these are trends and hopefully do not reflect a real change in direction (e.g. pump out more shorter scenes in exchange for less longer grand productions)
