I am sorry, but I feel this is a self-serving thread. It is started by one of the 'old guys' asking for comments and except for the one lone brave guy who said 'new guys by a mile' the rest are all obvious fans of the original site so what are you going to expect from the comments. I think most of the people reading the Rhett/SCM thread just wait for camperjoe to post links to the newer vids when he finds them and aren't members of the old site. I didn't see whole vids available for download 2 years ago.
Also, it seems many of these 'old guys' seemed to get into some kind of trouble (jail or drugs or after taking it up the butt one too many times finally decided to say no or probably asked for more money to do it). As much as you all say the new guys are younger and inexperienced, I do not see any of them jumping on the bandwagon to go any further than they have or want to. It is talked about in all of the vids how there is a pay schedule posted with the amounts of money listed next to the tasks. I am sure Matt has listed the butt pirate option, just none of the 'kids' have taken him up on it (yet). It's obvious they are all in it for the money (with maybe the exception of Erik and Max) by the fact that more kids from the twink HS keep coming (although I think they were filmed some time ago and Matt is just releasing them slowly) even after all the crap Erik and Cole and Rhett and Kevin got from doing it first. But if they see Rhett can buy a BMW with just jerking and hand jobs and occasionally blow jobs, why should they do more? I think some of the 'old guys' are probably upset that they may have gone a little farther than they really wanted to, and for probably less money than is now being offered, and there may be a little sour grapes. They seemed to be getting paid good money too, but several seemed to be in debt to Matt for loaning money against future shoots. Then when those shoots came along their perfomance was lacking because they saw it as a debt payment and didn't just 'have fun' like it seemed they were doing before. Others used their money to engage in illegl activities-so why shouldn't Matt ask them to leave? They also seemed to be sloshed many of the times. I don't know if that was supposed to make it easier for them to justify to themselves why they were doing certain things or they used it as the oldest line in the book to say 'I don't remember what happened'. Either way, Dean, Brett, Rocky and Sonny to some extent enjoyed what they were doing. It was evident on their faces and the fact that they had to have no direction to initiate some of the more 'non-str8' stuff. Ashton and Duke were in it because they constantly owed Matt money and Caleb I think was one of the few who just had the I don't give a f**k attitude what anybody thought and just went with it.
All that said, I did enjoy the older guys for what they brought to the table and how they set the stage for what SCM is today. I liked it most of the time when they were supposedly doing something that was not 'normal' for them. I like many of the new guys for what they bring to the table as a fresh new bunch of guys who aren't the wild partiers and look at it as a business and I respect them for that. Yes I would like to see one of the current crop go a little further. For the twinks I think are just bumps on a log-I do not watch. Why put yourself through something you know you are not going to enjoy? Do you need to have something to complain about? I think the rash of twinks all happened last year and are just being dragged out for distribution purposes to keep that going. I think some of the newer crop of younger guys might just be the ones who take it to the next level (not the ones all from the same school-others that don't know each other). I wish he would stop taking almost anybody for the auditions. There have been some pretty scary guys taped there. Just because they are a Marine doesn't automatically make them Hott!
Also Matt needs to take filming lessons or bring in someone who knows what they are doing. His fumbling around at the bottom of the bed filming the guys ankle and calf while he is sucking off someone is not kool. Like has been mentioned-those kinds of things are rare and should be caught on tape to the full extent. Panning up and down the body works better for a solo, but also needs to happen before the money shot happens and not distract from the pleasure the guys is getting near that moment. I would rather see the look on his face than his knee cap or the back of his leg.
Done with the novellette for now. I know this isn't what you wanted to hear Dean (or Dean fanatics) and if you have read it through this far then you are a different person than I give you credit for. I am happy you are getting what you want out of the business, I just think it is petty to say I took all this money, but I really didn't want to do any of that so I am a victim. That's BS! You made the decision to do it. You could have walked away sooner if it got beyond what you say you wanted to do. You could have done less and accepted less money. Yet you started your own site and are doing the same if not more than what you did at SCM, so where is the going beyond the boundaries issue now? The only thing different is now you keep most of the money for yourself. Good for you and shame on you at the same time. Use it as a learning experience and move on and stop trying to hi-jack this thread for personal gain. If you are so upset with what happened with your time at SCM I would think you could care less how things are going over there.
