It's no bargain

Warning: Spoilers
As usual, poor writing sinks this pair of dissimilar Pure Taboo segments. The guilty party writes under the name "Midnight" and idiotic scripts under that signature are unfortunately very, very common.

Title scene is immediately off-putting due to Midnight's stilted dialog -though we're watching contemporary porn, the cast speaks as if they were in some 1930s Hollywood drawing room comedy. Instead we get a corny story of a golddigger (yes, that's the term popularized in Hollywood 1930s movies) played by Anna De Ville, who is styled/dressed to look like a hooker, portraying the fiancee of Jayden Marcos, a porn actor I had never previously seen, mainly because he's a specialty performer associated with both Gay and Trans videos. He introduces her to his wealthy stepfather Chris Epic (also mainly in Trans videos).

Chris accuses her of being after his family's wealth and is ready to send her packing, but she offers him sex. Jayden catches her humping his stepdad and rather arbitrarily the guys decide to have a threesome with her to determine whether she can stick around with them. Anal sex (but no d.p.) is emphasized for Anna. Misogyny of the scene's ending is predictable.

Somehow Midnight has an even worse story for supporting vignette titled "Immortalized". Keira Croft stars as a girl in Hollywood struggling to get cast at auditions, who is Jessy Jones' new roommate. He has only one stern condition for her: don't go in his room, violating his privacy. So at first chance (to return a piece of laundry of his that gets mixed up in the wash with hers) she goes in his room and can't resist reading his diary. She returns there later to read more of his diary and he catches her. Uh-oh.

My bad luck is that Midnight has written a shaggy-dog story which ends without letting the viewer know any of the relevant mystery information: what is written in the diary?; what does Jessy keep in his suspicious-looking duffel bag; what's going to happen (after sex with Jessy) to our heroine? Nope -segment just ends, leaving us hanging.

Central gimmick of this stinker is ridiculous: after reading the diary, Croft wants to be submissive to him and somehow made immortal. She gets rough sex instead. Pure Taboo and Bree Mills' other porn labels used to credit a makeup artist (often Lisa Sloane), but no more. Poor Keira could have used one here -her face filled with blemishes is a turnoff.
