Tonight is the pilot for The Deuce HBO Chronicling the legalization and subsequent rise of the porn industry in New York's Times Square from the early 1970's through the mid-1980's. I did catch the pilot preview they ran prior to tonight's official launch and it really isn't my cup of tea but others may be interested in it.
Sidebar: If you're interested in the porn industry, research a woman named Candida Royalle. She was an producer and director of couples-oriented pornography, a sex educator, sex-positive feminist, and pornographic actress. She realized that porn was made for men by men and they really didn't address women's fantasies. She also saw how men were making all the money so she decided to leave the acting and get behind the camera. She directed 17 movies, several of which we carried at Video Vision and whenever women came in and wanted to rent porn I often directed them to her films.
