2009, directed by Steven Soderbergh, stars Sasha Grey. #Watch instantly – Netflix Surprisingly I really liked this film, didn’t hit me as gimmicky at all (Big director casts popular pornstar). Sasha plays a high paid escort that is a committed relationship, yes her boyfriend knows her job, which we don’t know how but he accepts her doing this line of work. Pretty much the film contrasted these two young professionals lives while they both attempt to push their careers to another limit. It was edited well to just hinted on this dualism between their careers, but after fully watching the film I see where Soderbergh was going. From professionalism, working the account books, gaining contacts and keeping a well documented journal of her client’s “meetings,” she shows how escorting is as much a serious business as any career. The girlfriend experience doesn’t hit on any thoughts of role playing, instead she comes off as a hired therapist in these rich man’s lives which sometimes spend more time talking about their lives with her then actually having sex. Because of that this film comes off as a period piece, its already dated with the amount of heavy dialogue that goes into talking about 2008 presidential election and the failing economy. I really believe this film hits you off its emotions instead of some logic in the story. Even though some may say the moments seem to be randomly placed, I think they were well aligned to foreshadow events in the story. The timeline doesn't hinge on any moment or event, even though she is being interviewed throughout the film, they don’t use that as a datum for moments to derive from but instead it holds the same hierarchy as most the moments in the film. I don’t think this editing style is easy to achieve but was amazing done to create a puzzle for the viewer to piece together themselves. I think this sort of disconnect in the storyline suits well with Sasha’s character’s personality where she lives a disconnected lives with different clients, maintaining her business and her home life with her boyfriend. The Girlfriend Experience - Amazon This is probably a recurring phrase in my head, “I played my cards wrong.” mmm… Last night was the eve of Thanksgiving, I choose to go out to the key on a bar hop with friends. I sort of changed, maybe I haven’t but some nights I am really cool with “reliving” my past and saying hi to old friends from high school, but last night I was kind of over it, maybe I have been harden after hearing how others coldly interact with old classmates. It makes sense, most the people you run into you never had a full conversation with ever, and the only connection you share is your alma mater and hometown. After 4-5 years you have created stronger connections with people you meet while in college, seriously you both have changed greatly in the last few years, you are practically strangers to each others. But in turn isn’t this the same reason you should try reconnecting, maybe now you are both better people and share more commonalities then before. So back to last night, I picked and choose who I wanted to confront, I had no issues with people I choose not to approach, I just didn’t find any connection worth pushing the effort to say hi and to have an additional few seconds of random banter. So why is this an issue for me? I am
I don’t know, its nothing really special or of substance because the love on twitter is fleeting. But it definitely made my day. Really I never use itunes for music, but today I happened to open it up and started to listen to some Colin Monroe, then another track came on with Wale spitting on it, and I heard that line I posted above, and it hit me. Seriously I can recall scenarios like that in my life more times then one. So I posted it on twitter with a @reply to Mr. Wale himself. Before I knew it I had 3 pages of RTs and @ replies hitting me, I was so surprised. Later I check up Search.twitter and did search on people @replying Wale and I was stun, damn, it ridiculous how many people tweet back to celebrities. I don’t know how they get through the chatter or if they even care too. Makes me think of the 1 in a million chance my tweet could be seen. Sidenote: I am a little greedy on numbers, I have a website, lets call that Iconology.therndm.com which is getting booms of traffic, but I am not satisfied 1 bit, I feel like I have hit a ceiling on the limit we can grow, and its killing me. I want @replies back like crazy. (I just came up with an idea when writing the last sentence.) anyway, I going to calm down with my greed and with this little fleeting highlight of yesterday, and Peace Out, till another time. mmm. I have been waiting to massively update my blog with new features for awhile now. I am still unsure what I am going to do with my older blog I haven't updated in ages. I might bring some posts back, like my travels in Europe, maybe one of these days I will finish posting them all up too. I am really trying to make this blog as barebones as possible versus a lot of the weird features and tools I created in my last attempt. Plus I am crossing my fingers that my grammer on this attempt is way better.
