Finally, an appropriate guest. We heartily endorse this visit over such luminaries as Jimmy Carter, for instance. At least Sasha Grey actually has a useful purpose in life, bringing pleasure to people. [h/t to Seva]: Porn star to visit Brandeis
In another coup for Brandeis film studies chairwoman Alice Kelikian, adult film star Sasha Grey is set to visit the Waltham campus this month. The 21-year-old porn star is coming to screen Steven Soderbergh's new film, "The Girlfriend Experience," in which Grey plays - wait for it - a prostitute. The film, which won raves at a test screening at the Sundance Film Festival, is having its world premiere April 29 at the Tribeca Film Festival. Grey will be at Brandeis the very next night, and will do a Q&A with film industry analyst and Brandeis alum Scott Feinberg. Grey is just the latest high-profile actor or director or writer to screen their work at Brandeis. In the past year, Kelikian has hosted Richard Jenkins, Melissa Leo, Michael Shannon, Kate Beckinsale, Alan Alda, Brian Goodman, Mark Ruffalo, Errol Morris, Werner Herzog, Barbet Schroeder, and "Friends" creator Marta Kauffman, who, we're told, will be coming to Brandeis soon to teach.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

She is no doubt a "method" actress.
The difference between Carter and Grey is superficial.
Ha! Superficial. You might say skin deep...
