AVN has recently published an article stating that Mr. Marcus has become the NEW Ron Jeremy. In NBA terms, this comparison is similar to the ones made constantly between Lakers star Kobe Bryant and the king of B-ball kings, Michael Jordan.
Rather than fill this article with a bunch of personal opinion about how Ron Jeremy could do an “NBA Jam On-fire Triple Summersault Dunk with Dick Vitale screaming Baby in the background” on Mr. Marcus, I’ll just let the stats speak for themselves.

We’re rooting for you Mr. Marcus, but as the scoreboard goes…it seems you still have about 600 performances and a little over 200 directing gigs to go. There is definitely something to be said about the 17 year jump on the business Ron was granted by birth. Although that gap may sound like enough time to complete the remaining goal, this would mean that Mr. Marcus would be performing and directing in the adult industry through the age of 57. There’s just no telling what affect the test of time will have on any man or woman.
The HotMovies.com crew rolled into Miami Beach in May for the fifth anniversary of Exxxotica Miami and its own fifth anniversary as the Presenting Sponsor of one of the best adult shows in the world.
We gathered around the dinner table one night on the patio at Maxine’s, a South Beach mainstay for late eats. We prepared to break bread with an eclectic group of industry stars including HotMovies spokesperson Ron Jeremy and the incomparable Sunny Lane.
As drinks were served, we took the opportunity to speak with Mr. Jeremy about the legendary Cecil Howard and the making of Scoundrels, Howard’s AVN Award-winning epic about to be released for the first time in 25 years on HotMovies.com and Ron Jeremy’s Video Theater.
HM: Ron, it’s great to see you, as always. Please talk a little about your experience working with Cecil Howardon Scoundrels.
RJ: I was always doing comedy. All the Chuck Vincent comedies, I was known for that. Sizzle, Fascination, you know…. And then Cecil Howard has me do this movie where he goes, “No jokes, no cracking jokes, no typical Ron Jeremy laughing…” and I went along with it. It was a very, very serious psychodrama…. People are gonna see this film and say, damn, they made movies as good as Pirates back in those days.
Cecil Howard was one of the really good filmmakers. He never compromised. He did Neon Nights, he did Babylon Pink. He didn’t sacrifice for the video market, which started to take over.
Howard is actually the Burt Reynolds character from Boogie Nights. He refused to jump on that shooting videos format. He wanted to make motion pictures on FILM, not video. Babylon Pink, with Ron Sullivan (AKA Henri Pachard) directing and Cecil Howard producing, won so many awards in that era. Read the rest of this entry »

With a part in “Finding Bliss,” adult movie legend Ron Jeremy is still seeking to show the world that he can do mainstream movies.
Even as “Bliss” depicts the life of an aspiring director (Leelee Sobieski) who is forced to edit adult movies for a day job, Jeremy manages to stay fully clothed on camera — while mainstream actors like Jamie Kennedy take it all off.
“In ‘Finding Bliss’ I spend my entire scene on stage in a tuxedo,” Jeremy tells PopcornBiz of the movie opening on Friday. “I actually kind of prefer it that way.”
Ron Jeremy has consulted Hollywood cast and directors during the odd foray into the adult world. On “Boogie Nights” he received a consulting credit and recalls that most every cast member sat in on one of his adult film sets to get an idea of the real world they were about to portray.
“They all showed up except for Burt Reynolds. He didn’t think he needed to,” Ron Jeremy laughs. “Julianne Moore was a good sport. She was in this small hotel room and had to keep moving out of the way of camera so she wouldn’t end up in the shot.”
He even gave consulting time to Jamie Kennedy who plays a dimwitted porn star in “Finding Bliss.”
“I gave him the ins and outs of the business,” says Ron Jeremy.
“Bliss” director Judy Davis says she wanted to give Ron Jeremy a bigger part in the movie, but he’s actually too well-known to play a adult film character other than himself. “There wasn’t a part for him, because he’s so famous,” says Davis. “He has to play himself.”
But Jeremy points to at least three films that he’s appeared in with his clothes fully intact which live on — “Detroit Rock City” (1999), “Orgasmo” (1997) and “Boondock Saints” (1999).
“These are three films I did that I kept my clothes on and they are huge films,” says Ron Jeremy. “They are cult films.”
They were an odd couple: a porn star whose sexual partners number over 2,000 and a former child star who was a real-life 40-year-old virgin. But when news hit about the death of former child star Gary Coleman, his passing struck up some fond remembrances for Ron Jeremy.
“I loved his smile,” said Ron Jeremy, who worked with the diminutive star of Diff’rent Strokes professionally in four projects.
“Getting to know Coleman wasn’t easy,” Ron Jeremy told AVN. “Gary was very serious sometimes. … If he didn’t know you, he’d say hi and just keep walking. … He didn’t want to spend a lot of time with people he didn’t know.”
Underneath that shy exterior was a playful soul. “He loved toys,” Ron Jeremy said. “He didn’t experience a real childhood,” he added, as explanation for why Coleman found such satisfaction in such pursuits as playing with model trains.
The differences between the unlikely partners were highlighted when they both appeared on The Weakest Link in 2002. Talking about their stint on the game show, Jeremy recalled, “I voted him off, and then Corey Feldman voted me off. That was the show where after Annie announced that I had been with thousands of women, Gary said, ‘I’m the opposite of Ron Jeremy—I’m a virgin.’ ”
And, added Ron Jeremy, Coleman was “happy to be so.”
Coleman also shared a television set with Jeremy in 2004, when the porn star was on The Surreal Life with an oddball assortment of characters that included Tammy Faye Messner (formerly Bakker), Vanilla Ice and Erik Estrada. Gary Coleman had a guest-starring role, but he stormed off the set. According to Ron Jeremy, Coleman was annoyed when Vanilla Ice repeatedly repeated Coleman’s catch phrase from Diff’rent Strokes, “Whatchu talking’ ’bout, Willis?”…
Congratulations to DJ for picking up on “52 Pick-Up”! I’m about to send his free Ron Jeremy Autographed 8×10 poster this afternoon, all the way to Illinois. My personal favorite clue from that round was “Brody”, which DJ snooped out the “Jaws” reference to Roy Scheider’s character. Ron Jeremy played a party goer in the 1986 film about Roy Scheider’s character, Harry Mitchell, being blackmailed for $100,000 in trade for protection of his wife’s political ambitions.
“Axel spared no effort in rounding out the rest of this star-spangled cast. James Deen plays Batman’s trusty sidekick, Robin, and sultry seductress Tori Black scratches her sex kitten claws into the role of Catwoman. Wait, there’s more! Batman just wouldn’t be the same without his fun-loving female counter-part, Bat Girl, played by the beautiful Lexi Belle. Not to mention the cackling evil duo of The Riddler and The Joker, played by Evan Stone and Randy Spears. Rumor also has it that the legendary Ron Jeremy may have a cameo as the Penguin in “Batman XXX“.
This is building up to possibly be Axel Braun’s most impressive parody to date.” - HotMoviesBlog.com
Ron Jeremy and his bevy of ultra-popular Adult Industry friends speak out against content theft.
Tube and Torrent sites may seem harmless because of how easy and friendly they come off as to lovers of “free stuff.” Unfortunately, having your personal work stolen and sold for free is anything but friendly. For the same reasons that the music industry fought to shut down Napster, the adult industry needs your help to stop content theft. Please don’t settle for inferior quality when watching Ron Jeremy’s movies. He has put a lifetime’s worth of work into bringing you the best in Adult Entertainment, pay him back with your patronage and support.
I watched “Spun”, the answer to 5 Alive, and it sent me into a short downward spiral. Crazy confused nightmares of Brittany Murphy stripping while John Leguizamo was half-and-half between Empire and Moulin Rouge. Meth smoke was making clouds that Ron Jeremy was using to bang out the green Absinthe fairy and stuff. Anyway, needless to say…i’m glad i’m back.
Now I can deal out another chance for a Free Ron Jeremy Autographed poster
I will give you fair warning on this one, because I feel it might have gone under even people who have seen this movie’s radar. This is another one from way back in the 80′s, but it’s after Ghostbusters.
