Title: Stroszek -- Sasha Grey's #1 favorite!!
Post by: daveB from Oakland on May 23, 2009, 11:47:48 PM

"It's such a hard movie not to like."

I have yet to see it, and I have yet to see Clifford. I'm thinking I should see them back-to-back and have a sweet n' sour movie night.

This Sasha Grey girl seems like an asshole.

Like a bigger asshole than her actual asshole, which can get pretty big.

Zing!

I have Clifford at home right now but fell asleep watching it last night (it's good, but I was pretty tired).  I did like Stroszek, though.

Interviews with Sasha Grey go like this:

"(vapid porn star stuff)...'Existentialism'...(vapid porn star stuff)...'Hollywood is full of phonies'...(vapid porn star stuff)...'I'm more like a performance artist than a porn star'...(vapid porn star stuff)"

To her credit, she knows enough to insert certain boilerplate phrases that make herself sound complicated. Also, she won Best Three-Way at the AVN Awards for her work in Fuck Slaves. So she's got that going for her.

But porn stars are modern day gladiators!

Also: Stroszek isn't even close to Herzog's best because it doesn't star Kinski.

KINSKI!

Which is nice.

And really, Fat Girl might be more horrific than Stroszek.

I did think Fat Girl was disturbing, but nowhere near the level of  Phat Girlz (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0490196/).  So...

If she had picked Heart of Glass I would have finally been impressed with her.

She seems like an ideal Mike Show guest. Maybe she could do a Crossfire-type debate with Larry da Perv.

How much Ms. Grey has had a hand in the marketing of her image is hard to tell, but I can only say this: It's genius. She has obviously seen that the whole crazy-hair/piercings/tattoo sleeves image which used to make the cut for Alt-Porn (Suicide Girls), has gone mainstream by this point (Rock of Love Bus), and you gotta up the ante a bit to set yourself apart.

so you read a few Freshman-Lit novels, pepper your speech w/ words like "transgressive" & "dialectic", put some seminal indie cinema titles in your Netflix queue and BAM: we got a Gen-Y Sexual Vanguard.

hey, I like my smut just as much as the next sad lonely basement dweller, but this chick ain't gonna pull one over on me. I can spot a poseur from a mile away.

I am kind of intrigued by the whole hype storm that has formed around her in the past month or so.

From Wikipedia:

Grey claims to have a strong interest in existentialism to which she boasts, "how many 18 year-old porn stars are existentialist?"

I'm with KtB on this.

The mainstream press loves any excuse to talk about porn. And her image is successful in making middle-class types feel more comfortable with the whole idea of porn.

I am proud to say I have never heard of this woman before this thread.

Kudos, me.

edit: nice grammar, me.

Well, straight porn, she might have a point.  But Sartre made his mark on gay porn years ago.

I can imagine Sartre calling into the Best Show to complain about how people keep comparing him to Peter Lorre.

It's not exactly an earth-shattering event that an 18 year old is an existentialist.  With 45 million porn titles coming out every second, one of those existentialists eventually had to be down for a lucrative face-fucking.

I hadn't heard of her either. I wonder if she listens to The Best Show.

She listens to Shut Up, Weirdo. Why?

She must be a fan of excessive use of the word "gay." To each his (or her) own. I guess.

Is there a straight man among us who wouldn't make an exception and hit that?

That's not all she knows how to insert, I bet.




What bad taste.  I am extremely ashamed!   :-[ :-[ :'(

I'm pretty serious when I say that she was good in The Girlfriend Experience.
