Sasha Grey, starlet of the year some time ago and starlet of mainstream film now in Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience, is a curious case indeed. Part Tracy Lords, part Paris Hilton in terms of her marketability for being absolutely nothing, part Maria Braun as in the eponymous Fassbinder film about women and ambition, and 100% guttersnipe, Sasha lucked out when both the LA Times and LA Magazine ran out of ideas for a feature and did the obligatory story about the 18 year old porn “star”. Not that there is any shortage of 18 year old porn stars. Supposedly what was unique about Ms Grey is that she is a fan of art film like Pasolini and Godard, wanted to use “Anna Karina” (Godard’s wife) as her porn name, and was able to talk plenty of bollocks about “existentialism”. All her intellectual pretensiousness seemed to look like the joke was on her for when she wasn’t spouting nonsense about performance art and postmodern theory she was also starring in such ‘existentialist’ films like “Anal Cavity Search”, “Black Cocks, Tiny Teens 4″ and “Gangbang My Face”. All that changed recently when she was cast by another pretentious wanker, Soderbergh in his latest ‘masterpiece’. What cums around, goes around and looks like the joke is actually not on her after all but for the people who fall for her and Steve’s schtick. I say let Sasha do what she does best. I just hoped she warned Steve about her anal warts when she was on his casting couch. Anyway here’s a clip. I’d scroll down in about 10 seconds for the good stuff:
I would save my money on a movie ticket for Soderbergh’s latest drivel and instead check out some of Sasha Grey’s 20+ “films” that you can rent by the minute here. I really did not try to rip Sasha a new asshole, although at the pace she’s going, she might need a new one soon enough. In this case I would definitely choose porn over ‘art’. Case in point:
Although who knows… Maybe soon enough like Hilton, she’ll soon have a music record, a line of shoes, handbags, perfume, etc., and be yet another role model for America’s youth. Call me old fashioned but filth is only one component of porn. But we’ll be talking more about that later.
