This isn't a slam on porn itself, or a call for the type of schoolmarmish pseudo-censorship being shoved down the throats of the English-who, thanks to Prime Minister David Cameron, soon will have to notify their ISPs if they want to see things being shoved down others' throats. Whether it's works that inject un-simulated sex into their fictionalized tales, those that cast actual porn stars in a misbegotten bid for extreme-sex credibility ( The Canyons) or those that are specifically about adult entertainment ( Lovelace), porn pretenses are the surest means of making a feature film unsexy, if not downright desperate and more than a little laughable. Porn reinserts itself into the arthouse with this week's The Canyons, co-starring adult-industry stud James Deen, and next week's Lovelace, a biopic of the Deep Throat star-two highly publicized releases that reconfirm the hopelessness of going hardcore in mainstream movies.
