The Girlfriend Experience Trailer

Soderbergh Does Porn

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (20)

Below I’ve got for you the trailer for the next Steven Soderbergh flick, The Girlfriend Experience. It’s a five-day snapshot into the life of a $2000 an hour call girl (played by real-life porn star, Sasha Grey).

There’s not much I can say about Soderbergh that you don’t already know. He makes two kinds of films: 1) Smart, stylish films that are mainstream accessible and highly entertaining (Oceans 11, Out of Sight, Erin Brockovich) or smart, stylish films that are willfully obtuse (Full Frontal, Solaris, Che). This one, I suspect, falls into the latter category. But the man has made enough good movies, and has enough talent, to do what he damn well pleases, whether the masses see it or not.

Where is the Underappreciated Gems on Schizopolis, already?

I believe, so strongly, in Mayonnaise!

Why would I PAY this asshole to tease me with the life of some overpriced hooker when I can download porn for... FREE.

How much porn did you ever see directed by Steven Soderbergh??

Ooooh, a better one: Porn by Spielberg "Once more but with Feeling".

Hehehehehe we would also get the Speilberg patented "stare" at the camera anytime the actress reveals her vagina or as penises are about to be unholstered or a massive cumshot is about to be unleashed.

Still wouldn't pay for it though.

I'm sorry I mistook him for Sommers, once again. That drum solo was pretty good though, nice and funky.

You forgot Traffic, the oscar nominee.

Why do you hate non-Americans Hulu? You can cram it in your cram hole!

If I got bored just watching the 2 minute trailer, what the hell's the other (probably) 2 hours going to do?

I can barely stand Sasha Grey's pornos since she usually overacts in those, like when she screams "use this pussy up!" over and over again. But at least they are not as pretensious as this looks to be.

like when she screams "use this pussy up!"

Is that supposed to be hot? That makes her sound like rollover minutes. Silly porn star.

I will never look at an AT&T commercial the same way again.

I tried to watch Sasha Grey and she's just not that interesting. She's hot as hell, but most of her screentime is either low energy or ridiculously fake. I have to believe the folks in porn are actually enjoying themselves, or else I can't watch it.

Hooker: Hey, fella. Wanna good time? Only twenty bucks.

Man: I am married.

Hooker: So?

Man: So my wife will do it for ten.

I know this is a petty an insignificant thing, but I can't really think about Sasha Grey for too long because she is YOUNGER THAN ME and it's disturbing to think that someone born after me is doing the kinds of things she's doing and being so famous for it when she's barely 21. Like, prior to last month the girl couldn't even drink at her release parties for hard core porn, how weird is that?

And that's my ridiculous and non-sensical rant for the day.

I totally agree with your nonsense, Genny. But porn does great business with the folks that are into the "barely legal".

I recently realized that an actor who I may or may not think dirty thoughts about was starting junior high when I was in college. That wasn't that long ago! Again though, the barely legal thing.

I'm quite surprised that no one has noted how Soderbergh sounds like the kind of name you'd find in a porn. Especially the kind of porn you'd see Sasha Grey in, if you know her resume. And that's to say, "messy"...

2 grand would get you laid for a year in my town.

I'd rather watch The Wedding Date.

That trailer looks like it was cut by a high school student. I nearly fell asleep.

This TOTALLY looks like a rip off of "Secret Diary of a Callgirl" just one episode stretched to two hours. The envelope, the bedroom, the lingerie are almost identical. I'd expect a law suit if I were Soderbergh.

I thought that it was a fairly accurate character study of an "upscale" escort and the daily business duties of such an escort
