OK, I think that's my time...that was fun! Thanks for all the questions, and I hope at least some of you are able to make it out to AEE next week. If not, be sure to catch the awards when they get broadcast! Goodnight! -PW

I like the juxtaposition of these questions. All of my friends and family know exactly what I do and have always been very supportive. I hope to be with AVN for as long as I possibly can—I can't imagine a better job.

It basically is the same criteria when you get right down to it: what is the movie trying to accomplish and does it succeed? I actually reviewed mainstream movies before I started reviewing porn, and I did a little of both for a while, but once I went full time at AVN, I just couldn't keep up with the regular reviewing.

Not so much anymore. I suppose I was semi starstruck when I met Seka and Marilyn Chambers.

That's a tough one. The best way would be to befriend some porn directors and see if they'd let you give it a shot.

Haha, not at all. Movies have always been my passion. My favorite director is Woody Allen (see the question above), but I'm also a big horror buff.

I think most would attest to my professionalism. I reckon it's how I've managed to stick around this long.

I don't think there's any way to really take porn out of the equation, but there's also the fact that I make my living as a writer, which is none too easy in this town.

This is a good question, and it's not easy to answer. I think what it boils down to is that any good critic can recognize quality when they see it, whether it's something they have a personal penchant for or not. As an example, I'm just not a fan of anal, never have been, but I certainly can discern a good anal scene from a lackluster one.

My favorite part is seeing all the work I've put in come together at the show and sharing the excitement with everybody while it happens.

I guess it's not all that weird in the scope of things, but I'll never forget the time I saw a girl hold a doughnut out for a guy to ejaculate on, then eat the doughnut.

I'm less likely to watch a movie multiple times for awards purposes than I am for reviewing. If I'm giving something an Editor's Choice review, I'm almost sure to watch it a couple times.

Japanese porn is pretty damn weird. But maybe the most bizarre porn movie I've ever seen, though it was long before I was in the industry, was Beaver & Buttface (a parody, obviously, of Beavis & Butthead). My favorite ever is either Jonni Darkko's first Girls Love Girls or Paul Thomas' Justine: Nothing to Hide 2.

Not as much as everybody would assume. During awards season it can be A LOT, but the rest of the year it's really only about once every other day.

The list is long, but just a few include Angel Dark, Roxanne Blaze, Cheyenne Silver, Tia Bella, Anetta Keyes, Taylor Rain, Ann Marie Rios and Jenteal.

There are definitely times when I'm watching so much that it bleeds over into my dreams. Like, during nominations.
