I feel like I should say something about Soderbergh's film after watching it but I'm finding myself oddly lost as to why I liked it. But I did like it. It was gorgeous - almost distractingly so; sometimes I was so lost in the way things looked that I realized I'd stopped paying attention to the plot. In my defense the plot's pretty threadbare so it was simple enough to lose. So was the acting as far as I'm concerned - I don't so much get the calls for Sasha Grey to get a nomination beyond what would surely be the stunt-like nature of such a thing ("Oscar goes porn!"). She was fine, good, but hardly spectacular, and there wasn't much in the way of heavy-lifting for her. Everything kept you at a distance, including the entire construction of her character. Which was intentional. And I liked it.

Completely off topic, but I was getting caught up on celebrity gossip after being out of town this weekend, and saw this story on Celebitchy:

I promise you, the first thing I thought when I saw this headline was "I wonder if JA knows about this..."
Heh - oh I knew, Julia, I knew. Somehow or other never I got around to posting on it, but I saw it all. It's a fairly safe assumption to make that I am always abreast of Eli's comings (or, in this case, cummings) and goings. ;-)
I totally loved the Girlfriend Experience. It was so cool/Godard/Sixties translated to America. Spot-on.
