Jul 30 2010Sasha Grey Edges Closer to Acting Legitimacy
There's still a reason to hold on to your classic, laughable aspiration of making the transition from gangbangs to legitimate acting, porn stars: it seems to be happening for Sasha Grey. The star of Sasha Grey Superslut has just been cast in Mark Pellington's I Melt with You, joining Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe and Jeremy Piven (who's already thinking of douchey techniques to get her in bed). Grey will "play a character named Raven, described as a free spirit who helps one of the men realize that nirvana can only be achieved by death."
As you may recall, Grey recently won some respect for her work in another non-porn film, Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience, in which she played an escort. And you know what? For my money, she wasn't too shabby in Blow Me Sandwich 11, either.

Generic not-megan-fox girl is generic.

She is waaay to chatty & loud in her porn - but I can see how that might help in an actual film. That is if they have her say "F@&k Yeah!" over and over again.

Raven?
Is she going to get the poison out of her system?

After I saw some porn with her sucking on a big fake rabbit poop that came out of some other chicks asshole (they were dressed up like rabbits) then putting back in and repeating this several times, I am completely sickened by this human being.

actually, all i heard was that she was bland in "girlfriend experience". not much appraisal. but yes ladies and gentlemen, ITS just that easy to get into hollywood. i fucking hated "henry poole is here" btw

Why is it that I felt the need to Google Sasha Grey rabbit, find the video, watch it, vomit knowing I would do so even before opening a new tab. I hate my curiosity.

@ justinknots,
Told ya dude.

@The Mantis
Dude, you're exaggerating. Just watched that (as excruciatingly dull as it was) and at no point did I see her repeatedly sucking on the balls coming out of the other chick's ass. All she did was barely (unenthusiastically) lick a few things, and with the camera angles you couldn't even say conclusively that she was doing THAT every time. Now, I'm not saying that Sasha Grey has NEVER sucked anything that's been in another person's (or her own) ass, but please don't blow things out of proportion.
That stuff is mild compared to a lot of the other stuff out there.

Unenlightened pricks.

@Mantis, you should be sick of yourself for watching it. If you can't handle it, don't watch it. Stop complaining.

She looks conceited but man can she suck a %#$^.
15. SirRobinTheNotSoBrave - August 1, 2010 8:28 PM
she wasn't bad in the Girlfriend Experience... but the movie on a whole wasn't terribly interesting. damn is she hot though.
16. SynchG - August 1, 2010 9:21 PM
Apparently it was Jeremy Piven who got her the role in that movie. Since she has an upcoming guest spot on Entourage. And to add to my original post. it's obviously WHO YOU KNOW as well. douches befriends douches

Hey IWS writer,
Sasha Grey is Vince's girlfriend in Entourage. Piven's been around her for the last 3 or 4 months.
