Notability
[edit]This seems pretty notable to me - a production company to which a number of top stars in the genre were signed for a lengthy time, and which introduced a new business model. Should go through the AFD process if deletion is desired. bd2412 T 19:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Removal of quotations with citations.
[edit]I have restored the following, which was removed from the article:
An industry reviewer has noted:
The Evil Angel stable is all name-brand directors, each of whose titles are synonymous with his own particular arsenal of sexual proclivities, his own persona, each a star in his own right whose work carries the implicit message, "You too, can do this, if you dare." [ref: Ian Gittler, Pornstar (1999), p. 152.]
Evil Angel revolutionized the adult industry in the 1990s by introducing the concept of "owning your own movies." The producer-directors at Evil Angel pay to shoot and print their movies, and Evil Angel staffs the sales department to sell the movies. This model encourages directors to spend money to shoot the best movies that they can. Hence:
Big studios, such as Evil Angel, VGA, Vivid, Wicked, and Metro, will have high-budget, polished feature films that use porn stars and employ the standard formula for sex scenes. They contract with in-house directors, who each have their own style.[ref: Violet Blue, The Smart Girl's Guide to Porn (2006), p. 88.]
After a very consistent cast from the late 1990s thru 2003 (the departure of Randy West to New Machine), the next few years saw a lot of change in the Evil Angel array of directors. First came Justin Slayer and Jonni Darkko, followed soon by Manuel Ferrara and Belladonna (Evil's first female director). Later additions included Jake Malone and Erik Everhard (both formerly of Red Light District), and other directors shooting the Buttman Magazine Choice line (Jazz Duro, Steve Holmes, Jay Sin, among others). In early 2006 Jules Jordan left to start his own distribution company, and Everhard soon bolted Evil to join him.
Some of this lacks encyclopedic tone (I added only the actual quotations and lead-ins), but the opinions of third party evaluators of an industry are certainly relevant. Cheers! bd2412 T 16:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've removed all of this again. The two paragraphs that are NOT quotes are POV garbage that should have never been included to begin with. The quotes are badly formatted, and it's hard to see how they're relevant anyway... Valrith (talk) 22:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've re-worked the article. The Ian Glitter quote is relevant because it identifies the type of directors who work in connection with the subject company. The Violet Blue quote is relevant because it describes the type of product that the subject company produces. I have left out the unsourced POV-ish stuff, but presenting third party reviews of the quality of a company's products is not itself POV (I have found no "bad" reviews, except for those from a religious source that described the company as being evil for producing pornography in the first place). With respect to the formatting of the quotes, they are formatted with the quotation template, which uses a standard formatting setup. bd2412 T 22:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Directors = choppy writing
[edit]The section on the directors is too choppy. Can it be made to flow together, perhaps by merging into single paragraphs directors with similar niches, or perhaps bring together the short bits of information on the directors who have left the company? bd2412 T 03:44, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
