Sasha Grey's redefined coolness factor, nicely established by her appearance at Brandeis last week, just dropped about 15 points.

Jeffrey, I must say the mental gymnastics you've been putting yourself through over the past 24 hours over this whole porn thing have been breathtaking to watch.

Remember when a studio could sue the crap out of someone for something like this - like using a trademarked name and having people have sex in your wardrobe.

Was that minute every frame of film that didn't have sex?

Jeff should never see Showtime's 6 part series about the remaking of Deep Throat if he wants to think highly of Sasha. She's a dirty girl with a creepy fiance.

I bet watching the dialogue scenes in this are pretty funny and the sex scenes deliver what they promise but like every porn movie ever made, it will be unwatchable as a whole.

What did you expect Jeff? She's a fucking porn star. Did you expect her next role to be in a David Fincher film?

Get over it Jeff.

Check out the link below if you wanna see Grey at her best. I recommend Finger Fun, Cumpilation, Teen Blowjob Party, and everyone's favorite holiday classic, Black Cock Addiction.

I love how this chick sells herself as a sort of revolutionary figure in the porn industry because she has dark hair, owns some Criterion DVDs, and gets a producer credit on the videos of her drinking her own piss. Same old, same old. I know it's not supposed to be cool for feminists to turn up their noses at mainstream porn these days but seriously, lol.

"I prefer the director of The Limey over the Benjamin Button guy."

So you prefer the guy who made 'Full Frontal', rather than the guy who was merely in it?

Actually, I agree.

Sasha Grey is a lot cooler than those dinks on Gossip Girl. Or Jennifer Aniston. If I was a feminist Jennifer Aniston would make me gag.

Just looking at that still [I'm at work, so I'm not going to watch the video], the Spock make-up on this guy looks better than the Spock make-up in the movie.

That's incredible. I'd watch that for the sets and costumes alone...and somebody went to the trouble of even duplicating Khan's cool tunic from the episode "Space Seed." Totally buying this.

Jason says ...

I've only seen Sasha Grey in one thing: the "Roadside ASS-istance" episode of James Gunn's PG Porn.

http://www.spike.com/video/roadside-ass/3101845

"I thought we were... er... Double entendre?"

She's not bad.

While you're there, check out the other episodes. It's amusing to watch sharp performers like Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, and Craig Armstrong act opposite legit porn starlets like Ms. Grey.

Randy Spears was a much better Captain Kirk in the legendary Sex Trek movies. Evan Stone is just too serious. And kinda gross.

Meanwhile, Jeff and everyone else is missing the Trek story of the day, how it is actually opening today. Thankfully, I read the Studio Brief at IMDB and saw that forget about midnight screenings, the damn movie starts playing at 7pm nationwide it seems.

Circumvrent says ...

I don't understand - I think it's sort of awesome that the woman treats a Soderbergh picture as a break in between hardcore pornography. I didn't expect her to become the new Parker Posey; in fact, I would kinda be upset if she did.

Now, if she can do porn movies AND Soderbergh movies... then she'll be the porn star that the porn world has been waiting and hoping for.

Also, corey - since I saw you mentioned it once or twice, I saw Deeper Throat on demand and checked it out. I'm not sure if it's real or fake, but it's hilarious, and a good watch.

Just to add my voice to the others here: Jeff does seem perculiarly interested in Miss Grey. Even watching some of her earlier work. I imagine he does that with all relatively unknown actors. Doesn't he?

corey3rd says ...

The reality percentage of the Deeper Throat seemed to be about 10% at most. The worst moment is when the Vivid guy's wife complains about him reading a script in bed because he promised not to bring his work into their bedroom. Yet she doesn't have a problem bringing a camera crew into the room to sit at the foot of the bed.

What makes it real is the guy in Vegas is suing Vivid about the movie. After that moment, it's hard to tell what's being staged for the camera.

I want to know who loaned them their Star Trek sets. Must have been some of those freaks that do their own fan fiction series.

Sort of on-topic I guess, but not really: Just got back from Star Trek (the non-porn one). Very underwhelmed. I am pretty much an Abrams devotee, but this one didn't do it for me. Not even close, actually.
