James Jean does a great sketch of Sasha Grey, here. Lucky, talented chap. :)
Speaking of Sasha, I have to say that I watched "The Girlfriend Experience" and was unimpressed. Sasha's best acting was the one in her Belladona video, by far (link needed :)). Sasha is tough, hardworking, and willing, but she needs good acting direction, and that takes both brains and balls. Belladonna has much more balls than Soderbergh (or most other males for that matter) and she has the right kind of brains for squeezing the best out of Sasha.
Frankly, most "serious" movies are discardable, vacuous crap. The only thing I seem to keep right now is the porn and a couple of old flicks (from back then when they still employed writers).
By "Belladona video" you mean the one featuring the "pig" t-shirt? :) That's my favorite movie ever :))))

Precisely. You, Sir, are a scholar. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you could remind me of that materpiece's name I would be forever in your debt.
Nevermind, google is your friend: it was Fetish fanatic 4.
ReplyDeleteThere is a most scholarly article on it here:

excerpt:
"Sasha’s scene with Belladonna in Fetish Fanatic was sizzling from start to finish. Funny when you think that it happened in Sasha’s second week as a porn girl. It was her third or fourth scene. She can’t remember which. As a matter of fact, when Sasha (wearing a tiny t-shirt that says PIG on it) and Bella first meet in a bedroom and start talking the camera is running because they plan on using this as part of the behind the scenes. What happens instead is that Bella can’t keep her hands off Sasha and before you know it they are playing on the bed. Problem is the scene is supposed to take place in the Bath! So the scene’s unplanned new beginning is now in the bedroom and moves to the bathroom."(...)
