The Adult Film Database is a website that attempts to keep records of all pornographic movies and adult film stars. This includes filmographies, partial biographies, reviews, labeled and categorized adult film stills, as well as a regularly updated adult industry blog which features the latest news about adult performers, movies, directors, studios, web site updates and sundry adult news from around the world.
It was originally created in 1991 under the name Sodomite by a college student. This was an attempt to fill the void of the temporary absence of the Internet Adult Film Database and as a project in web development. In 1999 its name was changed to the AdultFilmDatabase.com. Today, the AdultFilmDatabase.com is a major competitor to the Internet Adult Film Database.
Taking inspiration from both the Internet Adult Film Database and IMDB and forging ties with industry mainstays like Vivid Entertainment, Hustler, Wicked and Digital Playground the AdultFilmDatabase.com currently features information on over 90,000 adult movies and 50,000 performers.
Run by a husband and wife team, the AdultFilmDatabase.com was the first online adult database to include both straight and gay videos and performers. The site is rich in galleries and original articles, also setting it apart from other databases.
On October 1, 2007, the AdultFilmDatabase.com was mentioned in an article about the Internet Adult Film Database from the online equivalent of Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo.
Also, in October 2007, the AdultFilmDatabase.com debunked rumors that legendary adult film performer Tamara Lee had died from AIDS. The news was covered by Adult Video News (AVN) in an article on October 23, 2007.
Famous quotes containing the words adult and/or film:
“The quickness with which all the “stuff” from childhood can reduce adult siblings to kids again underscores the strong and complex connections between brothers and sisters.... It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled. Our brothers and sisters bring us face to face with our former selves and remind us how intricately bound up we are in each other’s lives.”
—Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
“Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man’s ken now are but poor- mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and cliché-shouting publicity agents.
Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance,
Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
