Yes yes, of course this was all a clever ruse, Ms. Grey you're the Andy Kaufman of the porn world. Please tell your rapt audiences more as they sip green tea in dimly lit bookstores. And hey, if the checks are clearing then kudos to you. But I don't buy it for a second. This is a classic example of arriving at one's “original intention” after a long period of rationalizing. I will admit that Sasha Grey has always been an articulate speaker, even in the early days of her career. However, her pornographic performances are PROFOUNDLY JOYLESS and impossible to watch. She doesn't use her body like a canvas, she uses it like punching bag, a backstop or a trash bag for medical waste in a hospital. I tip my hat to porn stars, they do something exciting for the rest of us to watch and that we couldn't do, because it would ruin some part of our lives; marriage, career, sanity, etc. And judging people simply because they are porn stars or even gagging, fluid soaked gangbang porn stars like Sasha Grey is wrong. The problem here pertains less to the category of her craft and more to her contribution to it; it is that she absolutely despises what she does. Looking akin to something like a shark that's been rolled onto its back underwater, there is an inky eyed vacancy within her during sex. No lust, no hunger, no laughter, no smiling, nothing to vicariously imagine, just vacancy and repetition. I don't blame her for this, not at all, but it's not the least bit arousing. Ultimately it may be telling that she chose to describe her sexual persona as a canvas. An inanimate object. I think she was great in The Girlfriend Experience and in Entourage. She is far more suited for acting in regular films and will probably have a much better time.
