WWW- "LEAVING Las Vegas" director Mike Figgis just shot a sexy short film for lingerie line Agent Provocateur, but it doesn't mean he's a fan of pornography. Figgis - whose eight-minute ad, "Tied Up at the Office," hits the Internet Feb. 8 - says he doesn't like to watch X-rated movies:

"It's very apparent that cruelty has crept into the porn world," he says. "Most of the actors look as if they really don't like women or certainly don't like [bleeping] them. The women just seem very contrived in their submissiveness. The act of sex itself comes across as something quite repugnant to both parties."
