KURT LOCKWOOD - Interview With Kurt About His Movie THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION PART 69: THE PORNO YEARS

Behind the Scenes with Kurt Lockwood

Porn’s No. 1 Stud on Western Civilization’s Decline



How did you come up with the concept for the Decline of Western Civilization Part 69: The Porno Years?

Kurt Lockwood: From the original Decline of Western Civilization documentaries, directed by Penelope Spears, who went on to Wayne’s World’s fame and fortune. That’s how she got her start. One is in the late 70s, and one is in the mid-80s, her original Decline movies. The first one deals with the early L.A. punk-rock scene—its great bands like the Germs, Gear, Black Flag. The second movie dealt with the glam-metal scene that was in L.A. at the time. I had been playing in bands a lot and stuff—I was Dee Dee Ramone’s guitar player before he died—so, I always wanted to be in one of those movies. I heard that the music documentaries she originally made, the producers, the people who gave her the money to make them, at first wanted her to make a porno movie but she did those movies instead. I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be neat if I did a third version, another installment of it, and this time we really do a porn,’ which was the original intent of the first ones. This time, what I wanted to do was not focus so much on music but on my idea that there is a scene going on in L.A. It’s not so much a music scene as there’s a porn scene happening which is just as legitimate. There are a couple of porn stars who happen to play in bands. I thought I could keep that element of it—the punk rock ‘n roll—and at the same time, I can add in all the sex. So, sort of have my cake and eat it, too.

Describe then what The Decline of Civilization Part 69 is truly about?

Lockwood: I think it’s a new thing. I call it a pornumentary where it is a slice of life, a moment caught in time, a snapshot caught in time kind of thing, where I do show not only a hot, awesome orgy sex scene—where I have two orgies in there, DPs and girls with strap-on, everything to try to make it really crazy sex—in addition you get to see behind the scenes. You get to see us going to AIM and getting our blood tested for STDs. You get to see us talking in front of the camera and getting beyond . . . it humanizes us instead seeing these two-dimensional sex puppets going at it. It shows you that we’re real people as well, with hopes and dreams and problems just like everybody else. The humanization of it, I liked showing the background of everybody. The whole idea of it was, we did this benefit concert. We raised $5,000 for charity, for detox programs for our industry and my thesis for the movie was, not only is there a scene but we do things like the charity event. You see us giving the check. There’s more to us than just what’s going on. Hopefully, that makes the sex scenes even hotter because it’s hotter to see who we are as people rather than just an anonymous person.

KURT LOCKWOOD - WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE TO TORTURE SOMEONE TIL THEY DIE IN YOUR NAME?

FROM KURT LOCKWOOD:

I have been repeatedly reading stories in the past couple of weeks about the deaths of detainees in our prisons. There is an article about just this subject.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4738008.stm

"Extraordinary rendition" has hardly been mentioned so far. Everyone seems to be obsessed with waterboarding which is only the tip of the iceberg. There is a report obtained by the ACLU under the Freedom of Information Act that indicates the deaths of three detainees at our prison in Bagram, Afghanistan, the direct result of torture. For those who would defend waterboarding, I would ask the question, is the murder of prisoners not considered a breach of our laws??

And what about the prisoners who are MISSING? The Red Cross has been unable to locate some 3 dozen. Their families have no knowledge of their whereabouts. I would suggest that some of these missing people are dead as a result of torture, and that their deaths have been covered up.

This situation is far uglier that most Americans know about!!! We need the mainstream media to do their jobs. Americans deserve to know what atrocities have been committed in our names!!!

E-mail the President here at WWW.WHITEHOUSE.GOV and demand an investigation!

Let's keep up the pressure!

KURT LOCKWOOD - Interview About the Current State Of Porn

From Kurt Lockwood:

The Porn Industry is said to be in crisis: What are - from your personal point of view - the reasons?
#1 The porn industry is in a crisis because of all the free porn on the internet. #2 The porn industry is in a crisis because everybody takes naked or sexy pictures of themselves now. When everyone wasn't so free with their nudity it made those who were more valuable. #3. The porn industry is in a crisis because no one will join together to keep the content (or in performers' cases, themselves) protected legally and the(ir) prices high like OPEC does for oil and thus the free web pornotubes are doing to adult what 'napster' did to the music industry.

- What kind of (technical) innovations in porn movies can be expected in the near future?
Well, in Europe, cellphone pornclips are a lot more popular than here in the U.S. They show porn commercials in clubs over there, too. I could see that,at least in Vegas. But the biggest advance of all in the last few years is probably Blu-Ray. The pornsumer always wants the most life-like picture they can get, though it's not always the most flattering to the girls. I mean, even Pamela Anderson must get shaving bumps from time to time.

- Porn in 10 years from today - in the US & worldwide?
Porn will always be around. The bubble may have burst but porn will never die. The way it has changed though is that people are more interested in their own specific fetish now moreso than particular performers generally. But the thing about porn is that you can only watch the same scene so many times and you are going to want to see something new and that means new porn will always need to be generated though someday it may be by a computer.

- Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In ten years time, I think I will like to have started my own church. I have been studying quantum mechanics, I believe certain quantum principles, the double slit experiment, the observer effect, quantum field theory, etc., have come very close to scientifically espousing what certain religions have been telling us for centuries. It blew my mind. I'd like to share what I have learned, lol.

8. Your favorite drink? It's all about the Pinot Noir or Newcastle beer.

9. Your dream/goal? To see my baby son grow into a happy, healthy, educated, successful man (like his Dad, lol) with a loving family of his own and make me a proud grandpappy of me someday which I will be awesome at.

14. Where were you last night? My answer is boring, I was asleep. No big whoop.

17. Wish list item? More children (I want "Daddy's Little Girl," next sooo bad.)

18. Where you grew up? Dundalk, MD, der hon' (lol.)

19. Last thing you did? Woke up. Caught up.

20. What are you wearing? A smile.

21. Your TV? I had a widescreen plasma hdtv with the home theatre surround sound system but I sold it for a song (!) when I moved to Europe. Big electronics like that don't tend to pack and travel well.

22. Your pets? I travel way too much to have any pets. Maybe I should get one of those Tamagotchi electronic pets, lol.

23. Friends? Yes, all over the world, my support system, I value them nearly as much as my family and if you are reading this I'm probably talking about you. :)

I have lived a Forrest Gump like life in that I have rubbed shoulders with some very famous people in very interesting circumstances, I have lived a life most men only ever fantasize about, yet is has been totally unexpected and as Jim Morrison said, "the strangest life I have ever known," and like Morrison also said, "Did you have a good life when you died?

33. One place that you go to over and over? Whenever I'm in Baltimore, I always drive by my childhood home and my Grandparents' old house where I spent so much time. I always get a little sad and wax nostalgiac but it doesn't stop me from my pilgrimage every time I'm in town.

34. Doing tonight? Wednesday night is generally karaoke night, baby! My next songs to sing are: "Get up Stand Up, Bob Marley; "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me," Mel Carter; and "Lit Up," Buckcherry.) Wanna go?

KURT LOCKWOOD - Kurt on Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"

From Kurt Lockwood:

http://tinyurl.com/3437u4


Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 in C Sharp Minor is my favorite piece of music of all time, it brings me to tears every time I hear it. Sad joy flows from my eyes reflecting the music's sublime reassurance of the nobler aspects of humankind. It is without peer. Still, I know that this arching, beautiful melody was indeed NOT written by a human but is in fact, the voice of God coming thru Beethoven as a human receiver. I am convinced of its divinity. There is such longing, such beauty, such empathy, emotion in each caressing movement, it's depth, so delicate and yet so devastatingly powerful, envelopes me with each phrase, killing me inside note by delicious, poisonous note. One of my life's wishes is to learn how to play this effortlessly from memory on the piano someday.

All art aspires to the level of music...

KURT LOCKWOOD - Kurt Blogs MY ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR BEING A FRIEND OF MINE

From Kurt Lockwood:

MY ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR BEING A FRIEND OF MINE


“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”

Jack Fuckin' Kerouac

KURT LOCKWOOD - GOD AND THE UNIVERSE/ JESUS, THE SHROUD, THE CHURCH- MY TWO CENTS

From Kurt Lockwood:

Here's my two cents...
The universe is a living entity. We are all a part of it. The Big Bang was this Supreme Entity waking up, kinda like when you wake up in the morning and stretch. The Supreme Entity's "body-universe" (also referred to by phyisicists as the "Quantum Field Theory") comprised of everything-the forces of quantum physics, gravity, magnetism, weak and strong nuclear force, etc. He is also light, dark, matter, anti-matter, etc. All part of the entity. After zillions of years, when he learned all that he could from his own form he created life.
When he learned all about life on the microscopic level, he created more complex life forms like the dinosaurs. The problem with the animal kingdom however is that there is no emotional complexity. To wit, there is no murder in a lioness killing a zebra to feed her cubs. So next up is man and to man he gives intelligence and reason, and in that way makes us in his image. Man is the only creature that he can learn complex emotions from such as hope, betrayal, love, sacrifice, etc.
There is a theory popular among astrophysicists today that there are indeed multiple universes, meaning there may be an infinite number of copies of each of us in an infinite number of universes and each version of us makes slightly different decisions in our lives leading to an infinite number of outcomes. Could God then be fascinated by said differences? Does he let us rise or fall on our own merits or lack thereof? Or even if you subscribe to as Keanu said in CONSTANTINE that, "God is a kid with an ant farm." Well, maybe, but like a kid, does he give said ant farm a good whack every now and then? Is there really such a thing as "divine intervention?" Is it like Shakespeare said in Hamlet, "There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will" ?
I believe God can be found everyday in coincidences. I think in coincidence we see providence. In the movie MAGNOLIA, the film's first fifteen minutes portray three true examples of EXTREME, documented, coincidences that are mind blowing. Watch the stories of those three stories of astounding, true coincidences and tell me there is no God. Coincidence is God at work. It's the tools left behind the mason, the brief flash when we see the puppet master tugging at the strings. Coincidence is like the classic scene in the Wizard of Oz where Toto pulls back the curtain and reveals the man operating the Oz machine, "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, I am the great and powerful OZ!"
We are each of examples of extreme coincidence.
I'll explain. The odds that each particular one of us are here, every individual human being living in the first place, the fact that out of the billions of people on Earth our particular mothers and fathers would meet, and out of all the eggs and billions of spermatozoa of our parents, that we particular individuals are what was created, means the odds of just getting born is like hitting the lottery while getting struck by lightning seven days in a row. The odds against all of us even being here in the first place are beyond astronomical. That goes beyond even coincidence, that becomes a MIRACLE. And therein lies God.
Further, onto now the topic of Jesus Christ who was professed as the "son of God." But since, in this theory, we are all made up of God Stuff, then we are ALL, indeed, "sons of God." So why worship Jesus? What was so special about him in particular? Well, in the final analysis, as for me, I do consider myself a Christian. And oddly enough, I found my faith through logic.
It started with a mystery.
And the mystery was that for the life of me I couldn't figure out why Christ made it as big as he has. There are historical records that document other prophets around the same time Jesus was, some with much bigger followings than that of Jesus' small posse of fisherman. Some of these other prophets even are said to have performed miracles just like Jesus. There's even an account in the Gnostic Gospels of one prophet during the time extant of Jesus Christ who could even FLY! (Simon Magus, in Acts of Peter)!
So what was it about Jesus? Why him? Just because he died on the cross? Was it the Kurt Cobain/Heath Ledger hagiography syndrome of delinquent to deity? Now before you say, "Death is a great career move." Well, true, but many of these OTHER prophets were crucified by the Romans as well. So scratch that, too.
More mysteries.
So what was it about Jesus Christ that made him last? For me one of my reasons for believing in Christianity lies with the Shroud of Turin. The Shroud of Turin is a piece of antiquity possessed by the Vatican which is said to be the actual cloth in which the dead body of Jesus was actually wrapped. When an early photographer took a primitive black and white picture of the cloth he saw, to his surprise, that in his picture negative there was a ghostly image of a man, looking exactly as described in the Bible, right down to the wounds of the Roman scourging and of course, the stigmata on Jesus' hands, feet and ribs. There's been some radio carbon dating work done on it that says it's a fraud, not from the first century of Jesus Christ at all but rather of the time of Da Vinci, whom some have postulated may have indeed have been it's actual artist, that only someone of Da Vinci's genius could've created such an early "negative" image.
This radio carbon dating placing it in the wrong era would seemingly kill the idea that it was actually from Jesus. BUT. There's been some debate about whether or not the swatches that were tested from the Shroud were from the original cloth or where it was much later repaired after different fires. Another quick tidbit is that scientists can't explain what makes actually makes the image on the cloth as there is no paint pigment on it on a microscopic level.
Even more mysteries.
This is already a long post (sorry but we ARE discussing religion here) so I won't go any further into the Shroud's many, many mind-blowing features (but I find the topic endlessly fascinating and I highly recommend that the intellectually and spiritually curious to learn more about it, you won't regret it).
I go into all this because I have found that the unexplainability of the Shroud of Turin gives me faith AND marry that to the fact that as I previously noted, that other than the Shroud I just can't explain why Christ made it so big for so long and the other prophets failed both lead me to only one logical answer. To me, it can only mean one thing:
The Shroud is real and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ really happened.
This Shroud actually exists, scientist can't explain it AND Jesus became the most famous person who ever lived in the history of human existence including compared to even today's mega-celebrity status. Not, Obama, not Osama Bin Laden, not even Elvis, none of them even come close to the prophet who became the most famous man of all time, Jesus Christ. WHY HIM??? Because it must've REALLY happened. There is no other answer.
Anyway, since coming to this conclusion, this faith, it would stand to reason that it would be wonderful to follow the church that Jesus founded, the Catholic Church, or even any of the offshoots protestant churches, but I'm afraid the corruption, the crusades, the inquisitions, the witch trials, and the altar boy molestations have totally ruined organized religion for me. But I have come to believe you can be anti-church and still be intensely spiritual.
And as the Bible says Jesus said, "Whosoever shall believeth in me shall be saved."
Well, I believe...
Anyway, that's my two cents...

KURT LOCKWOOD - Life Objectives

Kurt Lockwood - A variation of the old saying "the unexamined life is not worth living" is the philosophical addendum "and the un-lived life is not one that is worth examining." Henry David Thoreau encouraged us to "suck the marrow" out of life lest we be "excommunicated from the Milky Way." That is why punk rock has always appealed to me. Passion. Passion for life. Passion for love. What gets you out of bed in the morning. There is so much tragedy. So much bad news. What keeps you going? What is your personal raison d'etre, you reason for being? So many people sleep walk though life blindly conforming, they're like sheople. I have always marched to the beat of my own drummer. I have always taken that "less beaten path" and like the poem continues, "it has made all the difference." As Freddie Mercury sang, "As for mistakes, I've made a few... I consider it a challege before the whole human raise and I wouldn't lost." So what do I like to see worth challenging? Well, challenging the system wherever and whenever I can where I see things that are that should not be or aren't that should be, I love travelling the world, seeing it's historical wonders, it's amazing feats of engineering, working out, pushing my body and testing it's physical limits, enjoying music, the sweet bromide of the soul, all art does indeed aspire to the level of music, learning new things excites me, the wonder, the thrill of not knowing, current events are massively addicting and endlessly fascinating if altogether fleeting, movies move us, inspire us make us think, make us cry, make us cheer, remind us of the full gamut of the human condition, clothes, yes, I admit to being a bit of a dandy, great dinners, food is a necessity in which I indulge with the utmost pleasure (hence also all those hours spent in the gym, lol) fine wines, developing the pallate to differentiate from one delicious full glass of Pinot Noir to the next, laughing, the music of our hearts, good times with good friends, the human ambrosia of companionship, basically living and loving life to it's fullest, staying in the moment, enjoying each passing breath with my beautiful, sexy, gorgeous, intelligent wife and my Godsend of a son, making each one matter, each one count as if it is your last, life is the most precious of gifts and happiness is a choice that accompanies this mortal coil, this adventure of flesh that is to be human. As the band Muse sings in their classic song, Knights of Cydonia, "Don't waste your time, or time will waste you...."

KURT LOCKWOOD - Trailer for L.A. VICE

KURT LOCKWOOD - Watch the Trailer for Kurt's L.A. VICE!!
Kurt Lockwood: Hey Everybody! This is a movie I directed/starred in called L.A. VICE. It was a parody of the mainstream movie MIAMI VICE. Watch as I play the Sonny Crocket parody and Tee Reel as he hilarioulsy sends up the "Tubbs" character and we square off against L.A. Drug Kingpin Ron Jeremy bad guy and get into various sexual hijinx! Nobody plays a better bad guy than Ron Jeremy. He's really great in this movie. You'll love to hate him! All of the rest of the cast gives really great performances, too. If you look closely you may be able to spot the humorous references we put into it, everything from BOOGIE NIGHTS references to Beastie Boy's Sabotage video reference. We even made the dialogue sound like it came right from the typewriter of Quentin Tarantino himself! Ron Jeremy as the L.A. Cocaine Kingpin Badguy snorts up as much cocaine as you see Al Pacino snort in his famous performance as the deadly iconic cocaine druglord knows as Scarface. Scarface aint got nothin on Ron Jeremy who has sure never uttered the same words as Scarface, "Say Hello to my little friend." This is one of the porn parody movies that kicked off the whole parody revival boom that has been happening over the last few years in the business. This was a really big movie by adult standards. We had a full crew and this was shot over two days in and around L.A., everywhere from sunny sandy Venice Beach to gritty Downtown L.A. to the suburban hell that is San Fernando Valley. This movie was a labor of love. The city of Los Angeles is featured as almost a character in and of itself. It lives, it breathes. It's like a snapshot in time. You will love this movie. You will laugh and you will think it is very, very hot! So do yourself a favor and check it out today. You can order this movie through thousands of websites either as video on demand or dvd, google it! P.S. That's my band PCP performing the theme song!

KURT LOCKWOOD - trailer for TEEN COCK ROCKERS #2

Kurt Lockwood

This is the music video trailer for TEEN COCK ROCKERS #2 from my band PCP (Porn CIty Punx) made up of mostly currently performing porn stars! This is the total non-nudity my-space friendly video taken from footage from two Porn City Punx shows, the first one is the Knitting Factory in Hollywood and the other is the Johnny Depp owned VIPER ROOM also in Hollywood. Borh of these shows really rocked. It was such a dream of mine to finally play the Viper Room. So many great artists have played there. Unfortunately it's also where River Phoenix spent his last night on Earth but that adds to the lore of this most famous club. It's almost like it's the CBGB's of the West Coast. The sound system is really great there and the stage is phenomenal. I wish all clubs had as good a set up as this club does. This was one of my first movies to shoot. I got to have full creative control from everything to directing, starring, writing the soundtrack, casting, just about everything. I took over this series and from what I understand my second installment completely outsold the first installment which is always great when you see that the work you put into something pays off. I modeled the boxcover after the movie poster for one of my favorite movies, National Lampoon's Vacation. The music video was a lot of fun to shoot. One of the great things about life is when you can combine your interests. The movie kicks ass, the music video kicks ass! Once I had directed my first couple of movies I learned so much and couldn't wait to direct more until I had 8 full length features under my belt that were released and sold all over the great big world to last forever and ever. Check it out and I really hope you like it and all the hard work that went into it.

You can buy this video on thousands of websites either video on demand or dvd, google it!

KURT LOCKWOOD BAND - PCP - Music Video For "HERE COME THE DESTRUCTION"

Kurt Lockwood

Here is my band, PCP (Porn City Punx) and the latest version of our video for "Here Come The Destruction" which is the theme song for my movie, L.A. VICE, which is available through thousands of websites either by video on demand or dvd, google it.! L.A. VICE is my parody of the movie MIAMI VICE. It features myself as the send up of the Sonny Crocket character and it features Tee Reel whooping it up as the Tubbs character. It also has Ron Jeremy as the L.A. Cocaine drug Kingpin of Los Angeles. There's lots of action and funny scenes. One of the best things about making your own movies is when you get to write your own music soundtracks to go with it. We really worked hard on the music to get it as cool and rockin as possible. We just wanted it to be nothing but killer sounds and songs from beginning to end.

This gig was a real blast for us. We had a packed house at the Knitting Factory with thousands of people rocking out to us. You should've been there! We had a three camera's following us all over the stage including a crane camera out on the floor of the club for some really great shots. Everyone had a really great time. It was one of the best shows of my life. There's nothing like rocking out to really great rock n roll that you have written yourself and seeing a packed venue just totally getting into it. If I wasn't a porn star I definietly would've like to have been a rockstar. I got to play a lot of great shows when I was on tour with Dee Dee Ramone but this was a show just for Porn City Punx. It was filmed in Hollywood March of 2006 to celebrate the premiere of my first film, THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION PART 69: THE PORNO YEARS which is also can be purchased as video on demand or dvd on thousands of websites, google it, too! Enjoy!

[edit] Biography
Lockwood graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1992 with a B.A. in Theatre. He relocated to San Francisco from Baltimore with his band. A year later he moved to Los Angeles. Lockwood acted as an MTV host and was a raver gang member in America's Most Wanted. In addition, he had an assortment of small roles, including an uncredited role in the Steve Martin movie Mixed Nuts. The roles earned him a Screen Actors Guild card but ultimately didn’t pan out into acting fame and fortune.
Lockwood returned to music by forming the band SexyChrist. In 1999, he toured as the guitarist for Dee Dee Ramone's band .[1] After doing some gonzo scenes for Luc Wylder and Alexandra Silk of Fallen Angels Productions that year Kurt returned to acting and music for the next two years. In addition to those passions, he also did photography and writing, specifically penning a play based on the life of his idol, Kurt Cobain.
In 2002 Hustler director Chris Wood offered him the starring role in his own line for Larry Flynt Digital in a now-defunct online series, www.trailertrash.com. [2] He performed sixty scenes as Johnny Coxville, a parody of the JackAss star Johnny Knoxville. This led to Roy Karch asking Lockwood to perform in his features and his career in adult film was off and running. [3] Since 2002 Kurt has been in close to 1400 scenes with various female adult film stars, both on film/tape and on the Internet. In addition, he was featured on Seymore Butts’ Showtime cable TV show Family Business (TV series) in six episodes in 2005 as well as being featured in pictorial layouts in Penthouse (magazine) and Hustler. [4]
In 2005 Sex-Z Pictures offered Kurt the directing reins as well as the lead in his first full-length feature. “The Decline of Western Civilization, Part 69, The Porno Years” is an homage to one of Penelope Spheeris’ classic rock/metal documentaries, The Decline of Western Civilization II. Lockwood sings and plays guitar for his original punk/rock band Porn City Punx. In addition to his many scenes in other adult movies, Kurt has continued to direct features for Bo Kenney and Sex-Z Pictures. He took the helm with such titles as “L.A. Vice,” a takeoff on Miami Vice, as well as “Lords of Doggie Style Town,” “Thumbsuckers 2,” “Teen Cock Rockers” and his latest release “The Real Boogie Nights,” a parody of Boogie Nights with Kurt assuming the Dirk Diggler role.
In 2007, Lockwood retired from the porn industry and moved to Spain to be with his expecting girlfriend.[5] Lockwood currently lives in the Basque country in the south of France with his fiance and their son. 2009.[7]

As a new director with Sex Z Pictures, what problems have you had to overcome as both director and performer on the set? KL: Well, I'm not exactly a "new" director anymore after two years and eight full length adult features under my belt ( including Decline of Western Civilization Part 69, LA Vice, Thumb Suckers, and the Lords of Doggy Town) . I wouldn't say there were any "problems" to being both director and performer, more like challenges. You obviously can't watch yourself perform as you are performing so you hire camera guys that hopefully you can trust their experience and artistic eye to give you what you need for the movie whether it's a sex scene or a dialogue scene.

Do you find it difficult to separate the performer from the Director and vice versa? KL: Whenever I direct a movie I take it totally seriously and completely invest myself in it and don't get much sleep until it's done. I'm a perfectionist and a control freak which gives me a very clear vision of what I want when I'm directing but doesn't give me much time to fully enjoy the movie making experience. Though I'm doing all the fun stuff like directing, acting, having sex, I probably have the least amount of actual fun on my set because it's constantly crew asking me questions. I will literally be wet-wiping the sweat off of me from my sex scene and I've got ten crew members asking me, "Kurt, where do you want the lights for the next scene?" or "Kurt, we need to go over wardrobe for the next girl," or "Kurt, can I have more cash to get more craft service food?" You wear many hats and you have to be good at switching them quickly, haha. I hire great casts, it's my secret weapon. And my casts always end up in behind-the-scenes orgies which I can never participate in because I'm making a million decisions about the movie, haha.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years down the line? KL: I've got a lot of irons in the fire right now. I could definitely see myself performing for another five or more years and moving on to directing as I am heading now. I could also see myself quitting porn altogether, moving to St. Sebastian Spain and starting a family, just spend my days playing with my kids, surfing and smoking Moroccan hash, haha. I also have a few mainstream media projects in the works I am currently involved with; any one of those could take me in a whole new direction. Then there is always my band Porn City Punx (PCP). We just recently opened for Dave Navarro and we've been getting a lot of music industry attention so who knows? I'm happy with any of those options, haha.

With all the adult movies to your name , which male performer if any do you see yourself drawing from? KL: Hmmm. I just try to be myself. I'm honest about myself and I keep it real. That's all you can be. I've just always done my own thing and not given a fuck what anybody thought if it was right or wrong or not and I'm into my fifth year in the business with nearly 1400 sex scenes under my belt and three AVN awards, so I'm pretty happy with my career and where it is heading. I do hope, however, that I have inspired others with my freedom.

I have seen you in several Playgirl Titles, how do those titles differ from the hardcore titles you are used too doing? KL: The Playgirl Titles are funny. It's porn for women so they care about what the guy looks like. They focus on the guy instead of the girl. I'll have sex with the girl in the same positions as I do for standard porn scenes but the camera will be going up and down my chest and thighs as I thrust into the girl. It's a bit strange actually because like I said, I've shot nearly 1400 sex scenes. So when you do that many sex scenes, it almost becomes like a dance where you lead the girl throughout the scene. These movements include very specific positions which allow for maximum viewing of the female. Okay, I've got that down to fucking "T." Now, throw all of that years of experience of opening up for the camera and displaying the girl away and action! Whenever I work for them, they have to constantly remind me of the different style because I am so trained to open up and display the girl, haha.

Outside of the adult and music industry how do you spend your " down time"? KL: I like to educate myself about the world around me. I love to travel the world. I've been to England, France, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Puerto Rico, etc. If I'm not traveling, a quiet night in with my girlfriend, ordering in, smoke a bowl, catch a movie, hit a club, whatever grabs me...and oh yeah, lots of SEX!!

If you were able to have a scene with any woman, any way you wanted , who would that be? KL: A three-way with Scarlet Johansen and Madonna, and okay make it a four-way and throw in Angelina Jolie too! She and I share the same birthday and I hear she likes to get freaky, haha!


What are you views on porn today compared to the classic porn of the 70's and 80's ? KL: Whenever I watch a classic porn (which I'll admit is rare), I'm always struck by how much slower the pacing was back then. I mean everything about it, too. The dialogues scenes were slower, the sex scenes were slower, even something like a blowjob scene...the girl is moving in slow motion. Speed=energy in today's porn. The modern mainstream media has taught our eyes how to process imagery and information at a much faster rate than ten, twenty or thirty years ago. I think that's reflected in the pornography of the times vs. today as well.

you said you aren't to much of a fan of classic porn, isn't porn from that time considered more sensual, holding the focus of the viewer and there wasn't such a hang up on looks as it is today? KL: Whatever floats your boat... I don't think there is ENOUGH emphasis on looks. We are shooting porn! Porn is naked people having sex. We as porn performers, in theory, are supposed to represent a sexual archetype, an ideal. Since mainstream stars won't do it on camera, we who do should be representative of heightened human sexuality. That's what the market wants so that's what we should give them. I'm not saying that there isn't room for all types, shapes and sizes, like I said, "Whatever floats your boat...," but we should always be reaching for a higher standard. The industry has changed much in this regard over the past five or so years already. There used to be a time when the main joke about porn is that "the guys were all old, ugly, and fat." I don't think anybody would try to level that charge at the industry today. I'd like to think that I played and continue to play a role in that positive male talent industry image makeover.
Credited with winning several awards at the 2007 AVN Show this past January , Kurt has come along way in his fifth year as an adult performer. While Kurt was nominated or in a number of movies that were nominated for awards, he took home an award for Best Supporting Actor for the movie To Die For by Vivid Entertainment, hoping to take home even more awards from the XRCO, FAME, and other organizations throughout the year. Here at X Critic a great many titles with Kurt Lockwood as a performer and Director have been reviewed (
Decline of Western Civilization Part 69, LA Vice, and Thumb Suckers) and can all be purchased at Adult DVD Empire. I want to thank Kurt Lockwood for his most earnest replies to my question and I wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors.

Kurt Lockwood's Bio

I am a multi AVN AWARD WINNING ADULT FILM STAR. The AVN AWARDS are the adult industry's Academy Awards. I have won three times. I won in 2007 for BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A FILM, 2005 BEST THREEWAY, and 2004 for BEST COUPLES SEX SCENE IN A FILM. I was an AVN MALE PERFORMER OF THE YEAR nominee for three straight years in a row (the first year, Best Male Newcomer). In the six years I was in the adult industry I performed in over 1400 sex scenes with nearly 1200 women-most of the biggest (and smallest) names in porn. I have been all over the world, U.S., Hawaii, Buenos Aires, Argentina, San Sebastian, Madrid, and Barcelona in Spain, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Mexico, St. Maartens and Jamaica in the Caribbean, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Hendaye, St Jean De Luz, Biarriz in France and Berlin, Germany. You can see my music videos of some of these trips around the world in my video section of this page. I was featured on the national cable TV show on SHOWTIME's "Family Business" on six episodes. I have also appeared in pictorial layouts in DETAILS, PENTHOUSE and HUSTLER national magazines.

I produced/directed/written/starred in eight full-length adult features for SEX Z PICTURES . My first full length adult feature I directed was called "THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION PART 69: THE PORNO YEARS" and you can see a trailer for it and buy it at www.sexz.com. DECLINE received a four out of five star review from AVN MAGAZINE and a five star review from CHERI MAGAZINE who called it "one of the best movies of the year." DECLINE also stayed on the AVN BESTSELLER charts for two weeks. As for my second full-length directorial effort, click on the clip below to see trailer for "L.A. VICE," which charted on the AVN BESTSELLER LIST as well and can be purchased immediately at www.sexz.com. L.A. VICE also received a four out of five star review from AVN.

I also directed THE REAL BOOGIE NIGHTS, a parody of the mainstream movie with myself in the Dirk Diggler role and Ron Jeremy in the Burt Reynold's part it's also out worldwide on SEX Z PICTURES.

The other movies I directed are "SEX Z PICTURES presents KURT LOCKWOOD'S THUMBSUCKERS, Vol. 1 & 2," I also directed "LORDS OF DOGGIE-STYLE TOWN," and "TEEN COCK ROCKERS 2" .

I also wrote most of the music soundtracks in my movies, particularly the features. In addition to my career as an adult film star/director...

I'm still a huge Kurt Cobain fan. I used to play guitar for DEE DEE RAMONE in his band he formed after the RAMONES. After Dee Dee's suicide, I occassionally played in an all-original Hollywood rock band called PCP (Porn City Punx). You can see a PCP music video "Here Come the Destruction" in my video section now. I love travelling around the world and living life to it's happiest and fullest. I am now retired and living in Spain with my beautiful, loving wife and Godsend of a son and my life is complete.
