When Steven Soderbergh cast squinty porn star Sasha Grey in his film The Girlfriend Experience, I thought, “Wow, what an easy way to bump up my page views.”  More importantly I thought it was interesting choice – Grey’s willing to do pretty much anything on camera (she supposedly asked Rocco Siffredi to punch her in the stomach during fellatio in her first scene). But she never really seems to be enjoying herself. Unlike, say, Jenna Haze.  …Um, so I’ve heard.  But maybe that’s what Soderbergh wanted.  Some guys are into that.

Set in the weeks leading up to the 2008 presidential election, the film tells the story of five days in the life of Chelsea, an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who offers more than sex to her clients, but companionship and conversation – “the girlfriend experience.”  Chelsea thinks she has her life totally under control—she feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend who accepts her lifestyle. But when you’re in the business of meeting people, you never know who you’re going to meet…

Could it be a UPS guy with freakishly large genitals?  We’ll have to wait and see.  The trailer doesn’t tell us much of anything, except that she seems to be incapable of opening her eyes.  If her and Josh Hartnett had a kid you could play jump rope with its eyelids.
