Today in Porn, Sundance Edition

The circle is now complete, or something. Twenty years ago, indie director Steven “I Just Want to Remake Ocean’s Eleven for Yuks” Soderbergh showed up at what would become the Sundance Film Festival with his seminal film sex, lies, and videotape. And it was kinda sorta porny – except not really! Because while James Spader’s character did get all steamed up watching home movies of various womenfolk, it wasn’t fleshy exposure he had on tape – it was personal. He got ’em to reveal their secrets, to open up and let him in while the camera was running – a whole ‘nother sort of recorded intimacy (sort of).

This year, Soderbergh showed up with a rough cut of The Girlfriend Experience, which is, again, kinda sorta porny – except not really. Vulture reports that the film, starring home-schooled* porn star Sasha Grey, plays “a high-end call girl who does all the little things that provide the titular experience.” So instead of sexless emo porn, we now get porny emo sex. Yay!

*That’s right! Who says that homeschooling retards socialization?
