Oddly enough Jack...you and I saw the same scene. I agree!
You spelled it right, now. It's bated.
The scene didn't do anything for me either. However as you say, tomorrow is another day!
It bothers any us to critique any of Jonny's scenes in a bad light because we think so highly of him and have great faith in his abilities. However I must agree that this one felt like a Clay scene. Especially so with the quick kissing (lip pecking) placed at the very beginning that came across as so superfluous, sterile and forced. The models just seemed to be mentally checking off the list of requirements as they went along. Opening kissing. Check. Oral with one model seated. Check. Oral with the other model standing. Check....
One thing that surprised me though is that Romeo of all the people instantly knew, that in spite of following the script to the letter and two successful cumshots, that the scene had ended with a failure to launch. He correctly sensed it immediately but then was quick to incorrectly put most of the blame on himself. I have to applaud him for his perceptiveness and his eagerness to please. After all...in order for a performer to know what's bad or mediocre, he also has to know first what's good! lol
I happen to like Romeo. I don't think he should beat himself up at all. This may not be one of his better scenes. But it's also not like he had control over all the variables. He will do better work in the future, I'm sure. xo
I mean, let's face it. None of Jaxon's scenes have fared well in the ratings...regardless of who he's been paired with. For reasons already mentioned more thoroughly elsewhere, he just seems like a better fit on College Dudes than here. A handsome, experienced metrosexual guy with lots of tats, who enjoys getting an orgasm wherever he can find one...and can perform the mechanics of gay sex very well, is likely to gain much more of a following on College Dudes.
As others have said about the kissing...if there's not enough chemistry, passion or acting for the models to sell it to the viewers, then it shouldn't be attempted. (Or it could even be edited out later.) Otherwise it can sometimes set a dull, flat tone for the whole scene.
Good PM, Tampa. You are quite observant with Romeo. I do not know if you realize it or not, but as of late, when the videos were less than par re performances, the star model seems to have had an 'off' day. I hope that is not a trend.
As for me, I have no doubt in Johnny's producing and directing prowess. He can lead and guide, but he is unable to get in there and do the scene for the models. Plain and simple, if a scene fails, there is a distinct possibility the models are NOT putting their all into it and are Ray Harryhausening it. The director can want this or that, but as you well know, it is never easy filming such a video (I also know this on a first-hand basis/level.) There are times I am even with the belief the models themselves are becoming quite 'bored' with the same-o/lame-o. Whoever pens the script should get a new pen and different ideas. When a model gets bored, it is reflected in his weakened performance and diminishing attitude.
Then again, perhaps the biggest problem in this particular video was Romeo's playing Juliet...SO out of character.
