Harri Patel Senior Member #SDNY he's all yours. -- Michael Steele 5110 Posts 3/03	Posted - May 26 2009 : 2:37AM Saw the movie. While it suffers from "if we're vague enough, and jump around a lot, people will think we're clever" syndrome, I thought Sasha did a great job. And I think I would have been even more impressed by her performance if she had been a stranger to me, instead of someone whose posts I've been reading here for several years (as well as someone who, twelve hours earlier, I was watching have things done to her butt by John Stagliano).

Cuddly Wombat Senior Member Just another bare bum in the shiower 1739 Posts 12/04	Posted - Sep 6 2009 : 10:08AM The link is still there for me. Here is the article anyway: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adult-film actor Sasha Grey, star of Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience, is cultivating a career in Hollywood. What is a porn star like? Do they fulfil the cliche of ''women in micro-minis and four-inch stilettos and fishnet stockings, actresses … made up in Day-Glo mascara and cornea-damaging, super-reflective lip gloss, [resembling] garish orchids''? This is how Los Angeles Magazine writer Dave Gardetta described them after six months researching a story on porn star Sasha Grey in California's infamous San Fernando Valley. Sitting at the Hilton in Sydney with Sasha Grey is a surprise. First, she is very attractive in a very non-garish way. Second, if you saw her walking down the street in Sydney, with her knee-length boots and her demure face with its oh-so-subtle make-up, you'd think she was just another very successful, pretty, vibrant young executive. There's no hint that this 22-year-old, who was born [deleted] in Sacramento, California, has made, according to the Internet Movie Database, a staggering 176 movies since 2006 including such undoubted classics as My Evil Sluts 3. That's more than twice the movies Paul Newman made in a career lasting 54 years. Even the prolific Jack Nicholson has only made 46 movies in the past 40 years. When asked about this extraordinary level of productivity, Grey smiles and, with a knowing look, observes: ''I think what the outside doesn't understand is that you can shoot a scene in four hours. It might say on your resumé that you've made 160 films but it is actually 160 scenes. So you are not doing five scenes in the one film. It is a lot quicker to shoot, especially because of video.'' And now Grey, who can declare after only three years in the business that she is ''controlling my own product and I have my own company. I am able to create the kind of movies where I have the say from beginning to end as a producer and performer'', has expanded into mainstream movies with the lead role in Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience. For those unfamiliar with the sexual mores of New York, the ''girlfriend experience'' is where a wealthy man hires a hooker on the condition that she behaves as though she is his girlfriend, which usually involves being interested in what he talks about, going out to dinner, being a companion and, almost incidentally, providing sex. The Girlfriend Experience is another contribution to Soderbergh's ''blockbuster-then-art film'' cycle, which has seen his work on Ocean's Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen balanced by low-budget art films such as Full Frontal (2002) and Bubble (2005). As Grey explains, the film was made as a low-budget exercise. ''There was a lot of improvisation,'' she says. ''We had an outline, so it was shot in chronological order, which is quite rare. It was really nice because it kept up the pace and the energy. ''We only did three to four takes per scene. Usually three and that was it. There are a few moments where it was very natural … It allows for the awkwardness that happens in real life. You don't always come up with a perfect result.'' The end result is a film about sex that has no sex scenes. Grey plays high-class (and highly remunerated) New York escort, Chelsea. This invites the cynical observation that, in choosing a porn star to play his main character, Soderbergh was playing an intellectual game: trying to see if he could make a film about sex, starring a porn star, that had no sex in it. When asked about this strange contradiction, Grey explains: ''I think it is about the transaction. It is the one type of prostitute that offers more than just the sex. It is like what Steven said: 'They all have common themes. Let's take that common theme out and show you the relationships that are cultivated with Chelsea and her clients.''' It also means, particularly because of the improvisation, that the film ends up being a savage attack on US capitalism. Grey admits Soderbergh has said of the theme of the movie: ''Everything in life is a transaction, whether you are flipping burgers at McDonald's or you're an escort or you're a girl on the street who has a pimp. Everything is a transaction. Whether you are selling sex or not, you are always selling something.'' When this theme is added to filming at a time when the world economy is in freefall, it ends up being about men with enough money to buy prostitutes for a ''girlfriend experience'' all concerned about how the money markets are behaving. ''By happy accident - it is not happy in real life but for the sake of the film - the economy did crash when we started shooting,'' Grey says. ''So the real-life situations fitted into the film because we were dealing with those kinds of people.'' Most importantly for Grey, it is, hopefully, the beginning of a new stage in her career, with other offers for mainstream films coming in. Anyone who has seen Boogie Nights or Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends television documentary on the US porn industry will know it is a common dream of porn stars that they are biding their time to become mainstream movie stars. Grey, who now would be very wealthy because of her business acumen and her status as one of the US's leading porn stars, doesn't see her career in that way. ''Right now I am really happy being able to challenge the status quo. It never has been done before that you have a woman who is performing in adult films but she is also doing non-adult films. Usually it is the redeemed sinner.'' Edited by - heynow on 9/6/2009 12:29:13 PM [Link]
mandymitchell Member 254 Posts 5/09	Posted - Oct 31 2009 : 3:09PM I finally got around to watching this movie last night. I thought Sasha did a great job, the movie was slow at times but all in all I thought it was cool to see a movie delving into the world of GFE providers and hobbyists. I don't know if the movie is nearly as compelling to people who have not worked as escorts, but I enjoyed it. Does anyone know who the street performers towards the end of the movie were? The kids that looked like hobo's? I couldn't figure it out from the credits. [Link]

They are sexual performers, somewhere between athletes and stuntmen. I have discovered a show that slipped way under my radar called "My Bare Lady". http://www.hulu.com/watch/5290/my-bare-lady-floodlights-and-catfights#s-p3-so-i0 It's a Fox show where they took 4 pornstars and brought them to England to take acting classes and perform at a West End theatre. A Golden opportunity! But at the tryouts, many of them can barely read. None of them can pronounce "Montague", nor even recognize that a capital letter heading the word suggests that it's a name of something. None of them but one memorize the piece (they spend too much time goofing around). And none of them have any non-porn acting experience. Now one would think that porn agents would jump at this chance to get their clients on this mainstream show and give the real actors among their clients to shine. But no. They send these people who don't really care about the craft of acting. Sasha goes and says something like she wants to jump at the opportunity to do a "real play." You live in LA, dear. Anywhere you spit you will hit a theatre. Yet you never got to fulfill your lifelong dream of being in a play? Please don't take us for fools. You are an independent contractor in charge of your own schedule who makes a lot of money: IDEAL conditions for being an actor on the side. A 10-year-old can find his way into a real play in the Valley, as many small theatres as there are there. I guess from the outside, one would suppose "oh these women dance nightly at their stripclubs and they've all acted in porn scenes. Surely they're at least double threats for acting and dancing?" No. On this show, porn is proved to be a job for the undisciplined and flighty where the actors don't have to know how to read and the dancers can't pick up a simple dance. Click to expand First of all, I think it¡¯s highly offensive that you judge the entire industry from ONE reality show. Reality TV is not real. I know plenty of women in this industry who are literate, but it¡¯s a waste of my time to get into a battle of who has a bigger sack of balls contest. There have been a handful of women from the adult industry who have garnered ¡°legit¡± roles, Ashlyn Gere, Traci Lords, etc. and didn¡¯t do a half bad job. Shit, I really enjoyed Space Above and Beyond. Secondly, I¡¯d like to know where you received this certain piece of information: Sasha goes and says something like she wants to jump at the opportunity to do a "real play." I started in theatre at the age of 12; I¡¯ve done plenty of ¡°real plays¡±. Would I take the opportunity to be in another stage play? Yes. I don¡¯t know what bone you have to pick with me, but I¡¯d suggest you¡¯d get some sort of source to cite this ¡°quote¡± of yours before you hypothesize on what ¡°my lifelong dream¡± is. You¡¯re entitled to your own opinion, but it¡¯s pretty lame to fire off when you don¡¯t have your information correct. the fuck junkie ¢¼ Click to expand Sadly this was Sasha's last post and it was defending herself...

Schmse Senior Member I'm not here, this isn't happening! 2571 Posts 6/04	Posted - Jun 7 2010 : 10:02AM Sasha Grey is beautiful. And, like we all can see, she's got the ability to convince producers or directors giving her a role in a movie (if Hollywood would be China or South Korea that'd push your career immediately, but I don't know much of Hollywood). Sasha is ambitious and can act. Hope she'll have success with that. [Link]

twilly Member 9 Posts 8/07	Posted - Jun 8 2010 : 10:05AM I think Sasha can be a great mainstream actress, I don't see why not. Times have changed and I think one of the great breakthroughs was the "other" direction - Chloe Sevigny in that scene in "The Brown Bunny" that she took so much heat for. I think this inadvertently provided a pathway for Sasha in her present endeavors. There are formidable powers that still exist to keep their agenda alive and well in Hollywood - a titanium clad razor-wire fence keeping hardcore activities away from mainstream but they're a dying and decaying bunch. An actress/actor that has done "other" stuff may be, in the future still considered for mainstream. There are people that still believe that Stanly Kubrick's famous film "Eyes Wide Shut" was completely destroyed by Hollywood because his death released the lawyers that hacked this film to death. What we finally saw was washed of any hardcore activity that existed and the removal was against Kubricks wishes. [Link]

raincoater-smutster Member 42 Posts 3/11	Posted - May 3 2012 : 6:10PM Sasha wanted Hollywood, and it looks like she's getting it. She's a cast member in two mainstream films this year, that I know of. They are "The Girl from the Naked Eye", which had a limited release recently, as well as "Would You Rather", which will be released later this year. She's also cast in a 2013 mainstream film titled "Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story". It looks like she may be breaking through. Edited by - raincoater-smutster on 5/3/2012 6:17:41 PM [Link]
Gore Gore Girl Doctor of the Erotic Arts 7238 Posts 1/09	Posted - May 3 2012 : 7:06PM ^ A movie about porn (Inferno) and a movie about a call girl (Naked Eye)...kinda disheartening of this is all she gets offered. However, Would You Rather sounds interesting (not that movies about commercial sex are not interesting), and stars Jeffrey Combs. I'm in! And, as always, I wish Sasha the very best. [Link]

Click to expand That's a good point. However, there's a big difference between acting in a role that portrays someone in a sex industry, and actually being in a sex industry. Also, the film "Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story" is set to cast a number of actors that are at least moderately well known, such as Malin Akerman, Adam Goldberg, Matt Dillon, and Paz de la Huerta. Furthermore, it looks like Sasha will have a higher-level billing in this film. Edited by - raincoater-smutster on 5/3/2012 9:22:33 PM [Link]

pat362 Senior Member 10083 Posts 3/10	Posted - May 4 2012 : 9:42AM The only porn performer to have had a moderately successful mainstresam career is Tracie Lord and that's because she got to play more than just roles where she's a prostitute, stripper or the generic nude scene girl. The jury is still out for Sasha. She has yet to play roles that are more than those stated above. Maybe she can make a decent go at it but I will have to see a lot more before I can say that she has had a similar career as Tracie. Ginger Lynn has managed to play a couple of roles that aren't like those stated above but they are rare and not necessarily well known. [Link]
