It's not that the movie looked bad or that the all-female cast couldn't melt stone with one leg wrapped around their collective back; it was just a marketing decision: "Alpha 15, Big Sister And the Trial of Emily LaBore" just didn't sound like a porn title. It had to be changed to something conducive to making high-end adult consumers want to rent it as a precursor to making sweet consensual love. More after the gap. - G. Ponante

"Should it be 'Alpha 15'? Should it be 'Pussy Penal Colony?'" wondered director Cat Purcell after executives at VCA determined that the original number of words might suck up precious boobie real estate on the boxcover. "Is 'Pussy Penal Colony' too dumbed down?"
"Yes," she was told by everyone. "And "When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and if You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and if You Fall It Won't Matter, 'Cuz You'll Know That You're Right" is already taken."
"Alpha 15..." concerns a future society in which virginal Emily (Justine Joli) is brought to trial for not acting on her erotic fantasies. Her accuser is Big Sister (Purcell), who appears all omniscient-like on the wall. It's like those sexy versions of "1984" or "Metropolis" - the ones Queen weren't in. There are also single-fake-eyelash-wearing badass henchbabes.
The movie formerly known as "Alpha 15, Big Sister and the Trial of Emily LaBore" stars Joli, Hollie Stevens, Daisy Layne, Jayna Oso, Lux Kassidy, and Vanessa Lynn. The movie wraps filming this week.
It goes to show one that there is quality control in porn now and then—and definitely in the scene between Joli and Layne our correspondent stumbled onto, in the future.
