After reading this thread carefully and checking into the e-mail poster, I have determined it is one and the same Matthew Rush.

I am putting back his comments which I was asked to remove by Falcon. The spokesperson claimed it was an imposter. After review, It matches previous information on file.

I couldn't agree more Joe T. Matt is what all porn models want to be. He is a star and right now the biggest name in porn stars. He is a terrific performer.

Post deleted.

What video were you watching? It's just short of 15 minutes long, and Matt is obviously very upset over this entire Zeb Atlas situation. The video seems to have been shot instead of a webcam show for the members of his website, and to sum up: 1) he's upset that Zeb picked Jake Cruise to be his first over him, believing he is now "sloppy seconds" and feels unattractive because of it; 2) he apparently contracted a virus that resulted in wholesale vomiting and diarrhea because Zeb was unclean when Matt rimmed him for the scene; and 3) he got nasty bug bites from staying in the hotel room where the video was shot.

He also practically begs porn consumers to "support the gay guys in this industry" and not the gay-for-pay performers so that the industry will change and improve.

I have to wonder: how is this going to affect the second scene to be shot sometime down the line??

Bravo Matt. I feel bad for the guy...

I only got a 10-second video as well. I think there must be something wrong with RapidShare's coding. I want to see the long one!!

Wonder if the video played into ATKOL's decision to restore the posts? Who can keep track of this mess any more? Could this spell the end of Falcon?

Wow, this is the hottest thread in gay porn LOL (also the craziest).
It is crazy to have Atlas appear at gay pride but that is up to the venue, not Atlas. As many know, I have constantly fought about straight guys that dont do porn being billed as gay porn stars to collect money at events. I find it ironic that this advertisement (posted by Forrest) bills Atlas as an "erotic star." The promotion "porn star" has been dropped. Based on the upcoming Falcon release and that other one, I suppose Atlas can accurately bill himself as a gay porno star (even though he is not gay). Having said that, I always think gay money should be spent on gay stars for gay pride.

You're preaching to the choir again AFAIC, Porn Review. Just point me in the direction of the HotHouse or RSS booths at Pride...if they have them there. I understand that their ratio of actual gay stars vs. G4P is a lot lower than Falcon's or Colt's - and anyone can chime in here and correct me if I'm wrong.

If anyone is having problems playing the file, it's probably because you're not using the right media player. I would suggest downloading a FLV player, designed to play such files. Just do a search for "flv player" and you should find a download. :o)

Does anyone else see a strange progression in Matt Rush's posts that were pulled from this thread and were reposted separately by ATKOL VIDEO?:

OK, so I have to chime in and put in my two cents. I was excited to work with Zeb because on a personal level, we are friends and I thought the muscle on muscle would be hot and it was. He was the one who chose me as his scene partner and I was flattered. My complaint is that this movie was supposed to be Zeb's first man on man scene, going all the way. Things were set in stone and ready to go then he goes and does the whole thing with Jake Cruise. That was a HUGE slap in the face to me. If Zeb was going to sell out at least sell out to someone other than Jake Cruise! He could have at least waited till our scene was already shot before he did his thing with Jake.
It's the same stunt that Jason Adonis pulled when he did his bottoming scene with Erik Rhodes. Erik was supposed to be his first but he wasn't. If Erik or I would have pulled a stunt like that, we would have been canned. I guess being openly gay and proud and loyal to a company for 9 years means nothing these days.

I don't know why we didn't shoot the scene all at once. The first scene went well and I'm sure the second scene will be even hotter. No matter how hot it turns out to be, the whole scene is tainted because of the Jake Cruise incident. I got stuck in a good deal that went bad.

I felt betrayed by Zeb because he could have anyone in the scene he wanted but he chose me to be in his first man on man scene. Falcon had bent over backwards and met his "demands" then he goes and does his first scene with Jake.
The least Falcon could have done was cut his pay in half. In my opinion, he should have been cut from the scene. Neither happened. Granted I'm old news but I'd still like to think that a company that I have been loyal to for almost 10 years would have handled it in a different manner. I feel I got the short end of the stick and I was royally fucked with a sandpaper dildo.

Everyone goes on and on about gay for pay this and gay for pay that. The thought of a straight guy getting it on with another guy may look hot on paper but when it comes down to it, it makes for a much harder and longer scene to shoot. No one ever takes that into consideration. As long as the gay community keeps supporting "Gay for Pay" actors, they are going to continue to take advantage of us and screw the companies over.

Hey, he picked me to be in the scene. This is what Zeb wanted. I would have been happy to do the scene with Mark Williams.

I don't know if there was a written contract but there was a verbal understanding that this would be his first man on man scene. It's the principal of the matter.

Matt Rush xxx (Posted 6/16/2008 11:23:00 PM)

Yes, I could have backed out of the scene when I found out about it, but I found out about two weeks prior to the shoot. Knowing the stress of putting a movie together, it would have been a pain in the ass to rewrite the script in such short notice. I made the commitment and I followed through with it and I feel Zeb should have done the same thing. You may see it as selfish, but I see it as being professional and honoring verbal commitments. Zeb requested that certain things be done prior to the scene that no other model had to do except for me, so yes, Falcon did in a sense "bend over backward" to make sure he was happy.

When all of this was developing, this was to be the "big" scene. There were meetings, e-mails blah blah blah. Everyone was happy and everyone agreed this was it.
Seriously, how easy could it have been to do the shoot after our scene was shot? Even if Jakes scene came out first, Falcon could still say that Zeb's first experience was shot with them first.

Why am I posting after an absence? Because that's my first amendment right to do so. I may not be the star I use to be and I may be the tired, washed up porn star of yesterdays news but I still have a voice damn it!

I completely understand Sierra. Willgold22 can verify that it's me. Didn't mean to lash out like that.

Zeb is right. Apparently there was e-mail documentation to Todd Montgomery that no one else knew about. (Now we know why he's gone!) Todd was aware but didn't let anyone else know about it. This information was discovered after Todd's departure.

So, with all of facts out on table. My sincere apologizes to Zeb. As the saying goes onward and upward. It will be an amazing scene. The fans will enjoy it, the haters will continue to tear us apart.

Isn't "onward and upward" David Forest's pet phrase?

It sounds strangely like someone got to Matt before he made the last post-- and then there's this post from David Forest:

It appears that NATTHEW RUSH has removed his "real" posting on this thread (I'm assuming that it was real ... it was still there AFTER Jeff/Atkol removed the "fake" Rush posts earlier today).

Good going, MATT. Best to say NOTHING if you don't have something GOOD to say. Right?

At least they didn't stop that video clip eva_nera describes above.

Yet.
