Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I just wanted to know which chanel is better for movies, nothing else just movies? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Theyre about the same, though HBO seems to get the top movies on it channel last. Actually starz is the best IMO, but I only have HBO at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Cinemax gets you softcore porn, hence the "Skinemax" nickname. HBO is better for mainstream movies, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Back when I was 13, Skinemax was the shit-and-a-half. Five years later, I would find the interweb and all its glory which made the porn on Skinemax seem as tame as an episode of "Friends" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 HBO Zone shows some pretty epic softcore flicks everynight anyway, so really, you don't need Cinemax at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I gotta go with HBO, boxing, better movies and original series. Real Sex is more entertaining than softcore porn (Mind you I say entertaining not neccesarily titallating) Now if it were between HBO and Showtime, there would be a debate.

Epic Reine 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Cinemax is better to an extent because they seem to show more older movies and usually have a better selection on InDemand than HBO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I disagree. Cinemax's selection, both on the air and OnDemand, suck. Get HBO and Starz also, if you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikki Fritz 0wns all of them though. I also enjoy Pleasure Zone and Black Tie Nights Erotica. As far as movies, you can't go wrong with HBO and/or Starz. I give HBO the slight edge for it's original programming like Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire (best show on TV BTW) along with the boxing and documentary series like Real Sports.

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I dunno about Starz, but HBO and Showtime seem to love to play the shit out of movies from 10+ years ago. When I first got DirecTV, I got 3 months of free HBO. You know what movie was on? "Hot to Trot". I turned to the installer and said, "This is the exact same movie they were showing when I was 14."

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 Actually some of those hbo or max sotcore porns are pretty freakin hilarious. Some oft he worst acting ever seen, where they actually try to have a plot. Most of them seem to be about murders and mysteries, that just happen to have people having sex every few scenes.

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 HBO has The Sopranos (when its on) Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under, plus lots of Boxing (and replays ppv fights a week later like mentioned above). Showtime also has boxing but that is about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Ocean 3 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 And what's with episodes of Penn and Teller being pulled? The ones about Mother Theresa and bleeding statues were replaced, apparently by my cable company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2005 Showtime has Penn and Teller besides boxing, but that's about it. Showtime had the last Dave Chappelle standup comedy special. I still have to go with HBO just by a bit though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, Nikki Fritz is verrah nice. Something about Kim Yates though.. Ah well, I'm still a Kira Reed fan. Now that I've shown that I know WAYYY to much about softcore porn, I will let you get back to your regularly scheduled discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2005 If you're looking for something titillating, HBO's "Cathouse" is where it's at. It's tremendously entertaining from a non-sexual perspective, and it can turn you on as well. On the whole, I'd say HBO has the more entertaining package, as almost all of their originial programming ranges from good to great, but if anyone competes, it's Showtime. Penn and Teller is one of my favorite shows, and they, along with HBO are about the only places you can find a decent title fight. As far as the actual movies go, I'm pretty sure that they all recycle each other's shit, but HBO probably gets it a couple weeks ahead of the rest of them.

Guest StylesMark Report post Posted July 11, 2005 Over the last few months, I think new movies have been hitting Cinemax first, then to HBO. I could be wrong. I'd go with HBO. For the series and sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The black one's got horrible teeth. The show's actually occasionally amusing making it the second funniest adult entertainment reality show on TV (Behind Family Business, which I completely forgot about until YnA mentioned it). Family Business kicks ass, it isn't really titillating, but it's pretty funny. Cousin Stevie is easily the best character in reality TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2005 Ah well, I'm still a Kira Reed fan. Totally forgot about her. She is still hot, but ranks 3rd on my personal fave list behind Nikki Fritz and Kim Yates. Fritz comes off like she's a pro and Yates seems like the innocent gal who loves sex. She reminds me of Kristin Davis's character from Sex in the City in that she comes off conservative in general, but can be a cat in the sack. I used to have Kira Reed at the top of my list because she sort of looked like Jules Asner from E!, but the other 2 gals just have more for me IMO. Not that Kira has anything wrong. She looks like she legit loves what she's doing, but the other 2 just do it for me. As for Tane McClure, she is excellent, but she has had a ton of work (plastic surgery) done that makes her come off really fake. I know Nikki Fritz has probrably had just as much work done, but she's brunnette and that does it for me whereas Tane is blonde and comes off more fake to me. Plus while most of these gals can't act out of a paperbag, Tane is the worst of these 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
