E ============================================================================ Studio............Top Pro Talent ============================================================================ I received an email from a person telling me that he just had to respond to the comments Mr. Wayne Lewis made on Top Pro Talent. First of all I must say that I have never been to this website and I visited it right away and I like the site. Very informative. I could not find anything about Den or CAVR. So, I send an email back to him and he sent me the gist of the complaint about my review of Totally Tera KSEX radio show. I do not know what the post said about me since I can't find it. But, I will reply to some of the things that Mr. Lewis said. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- First the email: Hi Wayne just wanted to comment on your Den rant. First I have to tell you that I didn't hear the Tera show last night or any other. But,I know for a fact that Den (who I don't know personally) is a huge Tera fan. In his reviews of her on Playboys' Nightcalls 411 he's always been very complimentary of her work. Just because he gave the radio show a bad review has nothing to do with any allegiance to any company. It's just one mans opinion. Why must you bash a fellow critic who doesn't share the same views as you? Does it have to do with YOUR allegiance? As someone who claims to have a journalistic background, you lose alot of credibility for attacking his. Wayne's reply to the above email. Actually I don't really have a problem with Den and negative reviews, I do have a problem with someone reviewing a live, unrehearsed show after only listening to it once. It's not like reviewing a porn. The players are live, unscripted and need to be reviewed as a cluster of shows, not a first time listening. On top of the fact that his point by points were far from accurate accounts of how the show went, to the point where it affected his opinion on the show. In otherwords, he misquoted people, he claimed Tera was doing a DP Bashing show, when all she did was answer an email about DP that lasted no longer the 5 minutes. It was very bias towards DP. Keep in mind, many people in the industry play to the big boys. Den wrote complimentary about her on her Playboy show, wrote good things about her Tera show (which sucked) and even gave her an award for some random thing a while back. Now that she left, he's discusted with her. Siding with the big boys. Honestly, it doesn't warrant this much thought. He gave his opinion, I gave mine. It's really not that big of a deal. Journalist? ROFL! No dude, never claimed to be that. Just a wise ass member of the media who likes to have fun and post interesting stories on a web site. Are there any porn journalists? LOL Thanks man, appreciate you taking the time to write! W ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Den's Reply: * This was the 3rd review of the Totally Tera Patrick radio show: June 25th Show July 2nd Show July 9th Show * Digitial Playground is one of the better production companies in the business. It is a shame that DP and Tera have split. There is no question that 'Team Tera' made Tera one of the top 2 stars. I am not associated with DP or anyone else. In fact, I am one of the few reviewers that visits local video stores and rents tapes to be reviewed. I am one of the very few reviewers that gave both of the Island Fever movies a negative review. I still can not understand why you would release a Tera Patrick movie with no audio? And, quite frankly, as much as I love Tera, neither were her best performances. Island Fever #1 Island Fever #2 I did point out that the best thing about Island Fever #2 DVD was the behind the scenes where we did get audio and where Tera not only looked great, but she appeared to be very happy and commented on that fact a few times. She even commented that all that was lacking in her life was a boyfriend. It was Tera just liked you saw her on her Tera Patrick web show. Island Fever #2 DVD Digital Playground sent me a Christmas gift in 2001 and I can't remember what it was, but I sent it back to them and told them to give it to Tera because I could not accept it. In 2002 they did send me a small clock paper weight that I still use. In 2003 they sent me a brush metal picture frame that I gave to my next door neighbor. Digital Playground has never sent me any money and has never asked me for anything. The CAVR awards that Tera and DP have won were the results of fan voting. When Tera refers to DP 'buying' her awards, I don't think she was talking about me. Tera Patrick was nominated in Jan 2000 for Best New Starlet of 1999. Feb 1, 2000 fan voting results were announced and Tera won. I think it was her first award, but I am not sure. I had never given out throphies, but I wanted to do something special and I had black throphies with the actual winners name engraved on them and I presented Tera with her award in Sept/Oct of 2000 at the East Coast Video Show. * Huge Fan Yes, I am a huge fan of Tera's. I will never forget the time we spent together in Cincinnati, OH and Monroe, OH when Tera was doing a fund raiser for the NYC fireman. Fanatastic! Fan loved. A great person. A great spokesperson for adult industry. Tera in Cincinnati Tera in Monroe Tera's best achievement was being on the cover of Playboy and Penthouse in the same month. 'Team Tera' was number 1 in those days. * Misquotes I am not the most learned person and I am a senior citizen, but I checked my notes and I think I wrote what I heard. At times you have 2 people talking at once and it is hard to tell. I did say that the Tera rant on DP was a result of an email. * Tera Show sucks I liked the show. It always amased me that Tera could do 90 minutes live and never take a break. She was the star and kept the ball rolling all the time. And, man could she get the guests. On her new radio show, she shares the mike. On a couple of the shows, they had no guests. The show is improving and I listened to her last one in LA and it was better. * Tera's main gripe Tera & Evan keep talking about Tera getting ripped off with all the compilation tapes. That is very true and it also upsets me. There is nothing I hate more than to rent a video and find out that I have seen the scene before and that the box cover is deceptive. I know that I have seen the Tera Patrick / Erik Everhard outdoor scene 7 times. I rate compilation tapes very low. The majority of Tera's list of movies on the CAVR Star Cross Reference are compilations. But, not a single compilation tape from Digital Playground. It is good that Tera & Evan warn the new gals about this rip-off. I have noticed that they have already repeated one of the Totally Tera radio shows. I wonder if that is considered compilation and did Tera get paid for it? July 16th Show
* Tera Patrick I and Tera Patrick II I decided to do this so the people will know which Tera we are dealing with. Tera has added new boobs, new hubby and new attitude and thus is now Tera Patrick II. * Tera Patrick I with 'Team Tera' in control made it to the top. * Tera Patrick II with Evan in control has a big challenge ahead of them. * Special Award AVN did a list of the top 50 people in porn. CAVR did a list a few months later. It was a list by decade's and had 4 number one's: Tina Russell, Ginger Lynn, Danni Ashe and Tera Patrick for the 2000's. I sent her a throphy for it and I think that is what he is referring to. I have since revised the list and have dropped Tera from number 1 of the 2000's to honorable mention. (We still have 7 years to go) and I switched Jenna Jameson and Danni Ashe. (Danni doesn't do hardcore and Jenna has moved big time into mainstream). I added the overlooked Kylie Ireland. CAVR Top 50
