Final Kink.com Film Shot At The Armory Is Released And It's A 'Twin Peaks' Porn Parody
SF-based BDSM porn concern Kink.com, as we now know , is no longer using the historic Armory complex to shoot their array of mostly web-based porn productions, opting instead to move most of the production work to Las Vegas. And now the final Armory-shot porn film is out, and it's a Twin Peaks parody called Damn Fine Pie! .
As XBiz reports (link NSFW), the setting for Damn Fine Pie! is the brothel and casino over the Canadian border called One-Eyed Jacks, which figures into the original TV series. And building off of the plot of the series, the porn parody centers on the character of Audrey Horne (played by Amber Ivy), who goes to One-Eyed Jacks to try out prostitution, curious about the dark side of her dead friend Laura Palmer's life. There she runs into a group of male characters that will be familiar to fans of the show: Dr. Jacoby (Tommy Pistol), James Hurley (Owen Gray), Bobby Briggs (Will Havoc), Ben Horne (Mickey Mod) and Leo Johnson (Jon Jon). And they have a gang bang.
"What could be a more fitting end to the surreal decade we spent at the Kink castle than a tribute to this dark, cult series?β says director Maitresse Madeline Marlowe. "As a huge fan of surrealist films, David Lynch has played a pivotal part in forming my artistic spectrum. Being able to shoot a parody of my favorite TV show is absolutely a high point as a director."
She adds that after the shoot was over the cast and crew had "a champagne toast to the final farewell film at the Armory."
The decision to move production to Las Vegas, originally framed as a protest against growing regulation in California like that recent proposition (which did not pass) mandating condom use on all porn shoots, may actually be a bit more business-minded in the end Β sources within the company have said that they've already overused many of the sets they built in the sprawling building and needed a change, and that the larger issue is really the introduction of new office tenants who likely won't want porn being shot in their midst, and the transition of the massive former drill court space into a concert venue . Liquor sales and nudity don't mix in California, under the law, so the company risked running afoul of the ABC if they continued their shooting schedule in the building with a regular concert schedule happening as well.
Vice looked in on the final shoot and wrote a piece about the shuttering of Kink's SF production studio back in March, looking back on the thousands of porn shoots that took place there.
Vice says that Kink's move out of town after a decade in the Mission is "symptomatic of broader trends of the Silicon Valley-fueled gentrification pushing sex-positive spaces out of San Francisco," but Kink founder Peter Acworth was more pragmatic in talking about it to the Chronicle earlier this year. βPorn is not nearly as profitable as it was,β he said. βWe have had to change our business model.β He noted the incredible expense of maintaining the building without having things like concerts and other tenants to pay the bills. He estimated that the building still needs somewhere between $13 million and $20 million worth of upgrades to be brought up to code, and such expenses will have to be paid by bringing in new tenants.
Kink is still maintaining its offices on one floor of the historic Armory, and nightly tours in the space, and its creepy basement sets, will continue for the foreseeable future Β at least that's what Acworth was saying in January.
If you're interested in seeing porno Audrey Horne and the gang go at it one last time on the Armory's Victorian-styled Upper Floor, you can do so here ( NSFW!! NSFW!! ).
Russian Hill better brace itself, because an ambitious sounding new restaurant/supperclub is headed that way this fall, and it's not like anything we have in the city right now. Not since Supperclub

Kink.com is a San Francisco -based bondage internet pornography company that runs a group of websites devoted to BDSM and related fetishes . Kink.com, along with Kink Studios, LLC, Hogtied.com and Behindkink.com are DBAs for Cybernet Entertainment LLC, the parent company that operates the studio. [1]
In March 2018, Alison Boden, the former VP of Technology, became the new CEO of Kink.com. [2] She helmed the company until Acworth returned in 2021. [3]
Kink.com was started by UK native Peter Acworth in 1997 while he was a doctoral candidate in finance at Columbia University . After reading a story in a British tabloid about a fireman who made Β£250,000 in a short period by starting an Internet pornography website, Acworth decided to start a pornographic web site of his own. Since Acworth had what he described as a lifelong interest in bondage , he oriented the site toward BDSM pornography . [4] The site was called Hogtied.com and initially featured content that was licensed from other primary producers. The site was successful and was soon grossing several thousand dollars per day. Acworth left his graduate studies to work on the site full-time. [4]
In 1998, Acworth moved the company from New York City to San Francisco . [4] Finding that sales were leveling off because other sites were using the same content, Acworth began producing his own material, initially featuring himself with various models whom he found through Craigslist or through his photographer friends. [4] [5] He opened the company's second site, Fucking Machines , in 2000, [6] and has since opened 26 additional subscription Web sites. [7]
Several Web sites under the Kink.com umbrella feature directors who relocated following the demise of Insex as a result of US government pressure in 2005, but offer more of a focus on consensuality than Insex was known for.
In late 2006, Kink.com purchased the San Francisco Armory for $14.5 million, for use as a production studio. A group known as the Mission Armory Community Collective formed to oppose Kink.com's use of the building and in early February 2007 held a public protest in front of the building. [4] [8]
At one point, there were plans to demolish part of the building to make way for a condominium development. Such news brought in supporters who welcomed Kink.com's preservation of the historic building as part of an overall attempt to revitalize and bring back business to the area, without altering the appearance of the historic building. [9]
San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom also expressed concern over the Kink.com purchase, and scheduled a special meeting of the San Francisco Planning Commission in March 2007 to review the company's use of the building. [4] The meeting was well-attended by both supporters and opponents of the Kink.com purchase. One opponent, anti-pornography campaigner Melissa Farley compared the images produced by Kink.com to images of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib , and testified against the purchase. [9] [10]
The Planning Commission ruled that Kink.com was not in violation of any law or zoning requirement. [11] [12] [13]
Although Kink.com has stated that its activities would be invisible to the surrounding neighborhood, La Casa de las Madres , a neighboring women's shelter , announced that they would be leaving the location because of the media scrutiny of Kink.com's presence. [14] In addition to utilizing the Armory for its own productions, Kink.com also rents space in the historic building to local independent filmmakers to use as locations in non-pornographic narrative films and videos.
By 2013 Kink.com was converting rooms at the Armory into webcam studios that independent webcam models could rent. [15] In January 2017, Kink.com announced that it would cease to use the Armory for film production. [16]
In 2018, Acworth sold the Armory for $65 million. [17]
In 2007, the company's web site Fucking Machines was involved in a trademark dispute when the United States Patent and Trademark Office refused to grant a trademark for the name of the site, asserting that it was obscene. [18] Also in 2007, the company began streaming regular live shows, in part as a defense against copyright infringement . [19] By 2008 live shows were being streamed by Device Bondage, a Kink.com bondage site, [20] and erotic wrestling site Ultimate Surrender began streaming its competitive matches live in 2008. [21]
In 2008, the company added on-demand technology to its web sites, selling updates to their websites on a per-episode basis rather than strictly by subscription. [22] This system recently began adding third-party content, including that from Germany's Marquis . [23]
Also in 2008, the company launched a site called Bound Gods, a gay bondage site directed by Van Darkholme (also the director of Naked Kombat). Bound Gods was launched under a new gay-focused division, KinkMen.com. [24]
In 2014, the company announced that it was stopping production on its "wildly popular" Public Disgrace and Bound in Public sites, and changing Hardcore Gangbangs to make it more explicitly the fantasy of the female participant. Kink announced that it was increasing educational efforts, with the aim of "demystifying alternative sexualities " and would be welcoming the public into The Armory. It wished to turn Kink.com into a lifestyle brand Γ la Playboy . [25]
In 2013 Kink , a documentary, was made about the company.
