Michael Ninn's Catherine

Ninn’s Catherine, The Unique

Catherine — DAY ONE

I arrived at the set of Ninn Worx’ Catherine, a movie loosely based on the life of Catherine The Great [well, that was the plan very early on in the process when Michael shot this part], soon after they began filming. Michael Ninn was shooting dialogue and cutaways in Los Angeles, with the “commercial” scenes, i.e. sex scenes, to be shot in Budapest the following month. The set was a huge, furnished, unoccupied mansion high in the Hollywood hills. And when I say high, I mean high. The road to the house was at about a 180-degree angle. I just kept thinking that if I were walking Lucky’s dogs there I’d have to pick up his “speed bump of a Maltese” Petulant and carry her to flat spots to pee. She’d never be able to walk up or down the hill. Heck, I barely could! [Truth be told, I’m fairly sure that Petulant thinks that through some quirk of nature, her legs magically disappear whenever DM is around. I’ve never actually seen both of them walking at the same time. Maybe they share a set of (appropriate) legs and it’s just that none of us knows it.]

“The Catalyst”

Some porn sets are creepy like the old meat packing plant, and some are uncomfortable like the mansions that won’t allow people to sit on the furniture, but some are happy and welcoming and feel like home. My new “best friend,” Tall Goddess had chosen a feels-like-home set to shoot her new movie The Catalyst with Ninn Worx. It was a loft/studio in downtown Los Angeles. Anais had shot part of Inside Myself there, and I had loved it then. The owner is very porn-friendly, has all sorts of interesting collectibles sitting around, and has a cute, shy puppy named “Aussie.” 'The Catalyst' from Lorraine Sisco. Risque.com photographs by D.MinionWhat more could you ask for? [Well, the NFL package comes to mind, but maybe that’s just because it’s Draft Day. Oh, and presumably this would be Aussie. (We’ve warned you previously about the weirdness of these photographs.)]

Michael Ninn’s Catherine — Overloaded

Catherine — The Finished

Did you ever look at a word for so long that you were convinced it had to be spelled wrong, even though you “knew” it was correct? I don’t care what those geniuses out there think; too much concentration may not be a good thing. Pretty soon we’re on that slippery slope of fixation, and we should “shun” that any way we can, right?

Well, I don’t think I really understood this concept in other applications prior to the last couple of months, but I sure get it now. When we had to write the first “story” for michaelninn.com about Catherine, we just described it this way: We haven’t the vaguest idea what to say about this movie yet. We’ve seen it so many times that we’re positive it’s either ground-breakingly wonderful in its combination of raw, lustful, sex and immense “Feature” production values and art direction … or it could be awful. On the upside, we’re very honest .”

Risque Luck on Friday the 13th

Personal Insights

Friday the 13th seemed like a good day for a chap named “Lucky” to come clean for a moment. So we’re going to spend some time on a difficult subject for any of us that have been fired from a job in our lives. If you don’t understand this concept, consider yourself fortunate (“Lucky” being already taken around here), and just realize that these days are probably not the fondest you’ll recall whenever you take out a little time for retrospect.

It happened on the last Michael Ninn shoot, and I’m really trying to feel bad about it. Really. Swear.

You see, D.Minion had a bunch of work to do capturing video to the edit machines for Michael, so I said I’d cover the first couple of days of the shoot. The Ninn Worx team was shooting a movie starring Phoenix Ray called (at least for the moment) Phoenix Rising, and they were to begin the actual shooting of Michael’s big Film for the year called Catherine — show you may recall hearing about. Now I began with the best of intentions, and I took pictures. See?
