Oct 7th
“Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” Is the 1st Movie to Spend 52+ Weeks on AVN’s Chart Since Joone’s Original “Pirates”!
News release: October 7, 2009 — VAN NUYS, Calif. — Digital Playground’s “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” has officially appeared on the weekly AVN Retail Buzz Top 100 Chart for an entire year. Exactly a year ago, “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” became the first film ever to debut in the number one position on the chart. Digital Playground’s Founder Joone wrote and directed the blockbuster film with the intention of creating a Hollywood-scale experience consumers are eager to own. As a result, “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” received a record-breaking 15 awards at the 2009 AVN show and continues to shatter sales records around the world. “The last movie that made the charts for a full year was ‘Pirates’,” says AVN chairman Paul Fishbein. “So even though everyone complains about lack of DVD sales, great movies with great production values still can become big hits. If anything can save the DVD business, it’s big movies like ‘Pirates II’.”

“It was rewarding to learn that ‘Pirates II’ debuted on the chart at number one a year ago,” says Joone. “For the film to maintain a strong position on the charts for a full year is a testament to our efforts to create a timeless production. ‘Pirates II’ was conceived as a mainstream feature with hot sex, which men and women will enjoy over and over again.”
“Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge” stars Digital Playground’s beautiful contract girls Jesse Jane®, Stoya™, Katsuni, Riley Steele™ and Gabriella Fox™. The film costars the talents of BellaDonna, Sasha Grey, Jenna Haze, Shay Jordan™, Brianna Love, Abbey Brooks, Shawna Lenee, Rhylee Richards, Brea Lynn, Shyla Stylez, and Veronica Rayne. Evan Stone, Tommy Gunn, and Steven St. Croix reprise their ground-breaking roles from the original “Pirates”. The film also includes industry studs Manuel Ferrara, James Deen, Marco Banderas, Mick Blue, Ben English, and Charles Dera.
All hands are on deck for the epic, blockbuster “Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge”, directed by award-winner Joone, and produced by Joone and his business partner Samantha Lewis. The film released in 2008 on DVD and Blu-ray.

Stephen Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience, reviewed. – By Dana Stevens – Slate Magazine
May 25th
The Girlfriend Experience (Magnolia Pictures) is one of Stephen Soderbergh’s sketchbook pictures, the experimental one-offs he directs in between blockbusters. Unlike Soderbergh’s last experiment, the four-hour biopic Che, this one is small in every sense: 77 minutes long, shot on digital video, improvised from a bare-bones script, and cast entirely with unknowns. Well, unknown in some circles: The film stars Sasha Grey, a 21-year-old porn actress who has won a raft of AVN adult-film awards, including best three-way sex scene in 2007 and best oral scene in 2008. (I was rooting for Julie Christie for that last one, but whatever.)
Despite its meager production values, The Girlfriend Experience looks sleek and appealing; it takes place in the same copper-toned cocoon of poshness that envelops the Ocean’s Eleven franchise, as Grey’s character, $2,000-an-hour call girl Chelsea, flits in and out of four-star restaurants and designer boutiques in Manhattan. Grey isn’t exactly an actress, but her aura of impenetrable blankness makes her a curiously entrancing protagonist. Chelsea logs each transaction in her computer diary in between meetings, detailing her designer outfits in an affectless voice-over: “I wore a Michael Kors dress and shoes and La Perla lingerie underneath.” Her job is to provide her clients not just with sex but with the full-service “girlfriend experience”: They take in movies, drink wine, have (stilted) conversations, and share breakfast before she hops in a limo and heads to her next meeting. Fans of Sasha Grey’s oeuvre will be disappointed to learn that this unrated movie contains no sex at all—the most we get is a seconds-long glimpse of Grey’s (refreshingly unaugmented) nude body.

No Concessions: My Porn “Experience” | Popdose
May 22nd
Twenty-five years ago, Brian De Palma planned to give porn star Annette Haven the lead role of “Holly Body” in his film Body Double, but backed off as controversy threatened to erupt. Today, Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh builds a whole movie, The Girlfriend Experience, around porn star Sasha Grey, and no one blinks. Why does the star of Anal Cavity Search 6 and This Ain’t Star Trek XXX land this rare crossover opportunity?
For the same reason that the 21-year-old has appeared in videos by the Smashing Pumpkins and The Roots, sat down with Tyra Banks, and been interviewed/celebrated by publications including Los Angeles magazine, Rolling Stone, and The Wall Street Journal—shaved and airbrushed, the porn industry just isn’t as dirty as it once was. I remember the filthy old days of the ’70s, when the New York Post ran titillating ads for adults-only fare like The Erotic Adventures of Pinocchio (“It’s Not Just His Nose That Grows!”) and the neighborhood cinema where I grew up in sleepy suburban New Jersey went from showing Disney double features one summer to hardcore porn in fall. When Love Muscle replaced The Love Bug, a snake had clearly crawled into the Garden State.
In 1979, when porn was outlaw, it was easy to believe in the premise of Paul Schrader’s Hardcore, which scandalized my high school. “Oh my God, that’s my daughter,” fretted the poster, above an image of an anguished George C. Scott. From what we knew of the sleazy shenanigans out in Hell-A, it was entirely believable that an innocent girl like the one in the movie could be lured from an amusement park in California, drugged and raped on film by “Jism Jim,” then transported south of the border for snuff movie murder at the hands of the fearsome “Ratan.” (It was never believable that Scott, as the girl’s rigidly conservative father, could successfully masquerade as a swinging porn producer to find her, as also happens in the film.) Twenty years later, a similar premise seemed laughably quaint in 8MM, with Nicolas Cage doing the worrying. It wasn’t just that 1997’s Oscar-nominated Boogie Nights had looked at the 70’s porn scene with bemused nostalgia. The entire industry had moved off the streets and onto our VCRs, DVD players, and finally our computers, where it became tamed and domesticated, at least for the viewer. The porn theater merged with the home theater; no need to hide behind a raincoat and join the unwashed at the triple-XXX bijou, or skulk out of the videostore with tapes embarrassingly concealed from passers-by.

Steven Soderbergh and Sasha Grey deliver “The Girlfriend Experience” – Beyond the Multiplex – Salon.com
May 22nd
- Steven Soderbergh: Image via Wikipedia
I don’t necessarily love all of Steven Soderbergh’s movies, but who could? The guy’s career seems devoted to Emerson’s principle that consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. I met Soderbergh recently in New York to talk about his new movie “The Girlfriend Experience,” a quasi-experimental indie drama about a high-end Manhattan call girl. Last fall, I interviewed him by phone for the release of “Che,” his four-hour epic about the career of Latin America’s most famous revolutionary. Here are his five films before that, in reverse chronological order: “Ocean’s Thirteen,” “The Good German,” “Bubble,” “Ocean’s Twelve” and “Solaris.”
That makes two star-studded Hollywood romps, a black-and-white murder mystery set in postwar Berlin, a no-budget working-class drama made with non-actors and an adaptation of Stanislaw Lem’s mystical science-fiction novel (and to some extent a remake of Russian art-film god Andrei Tarkovsky’s most famous picture). As Soderbergh says, he’s inspired by the examples of such legendary Hollywood directors as Howard Hawks and William Wyler, who cranked out films rapidly and often, in every imaginable genre. But Hawks never tried to make anything like “The Girlfriend Experience,” a movie in which a real-life porn star plays a fictional hooker, a movie that bears the unmistakable traces of Godardian postmodern cinema and Marxian social criticism.
To me, Soderbergh always seems betwixt and between; he’s not quite a production-line engineer in the Hollywood model nor is he a completely distinctive artist. You can view that eclecticism as a strength or a weakness, but it is what defines and distinguishes his career as a director, as well as his less-noticed but important and generous career as a producer. (Among the films Soderbergh has helped produce, but did not direct, are Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There” and “Far From Heaven,” George Clooney’s “Good Night, and Good Luck” and “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,” Tony Gilroy’s “Michael Clayton,” Richard Linklater’s “A Scanner Darkly,” Stephen Gaghan’s “Syriana” and Christopher Nolan’s “Insomnia.”)

Speaking about his decision to cast porn star Sasha Grey in his call-girl movie The Girlfriend Experience, Steven Soderbergh said TV anchors look like porn stars these days. See if you can tell the difference!
Soderbergh told the Wall Street Journal that he didn’t expect much of a reaction by casting a world-famous porn star in his sex-free story of a Manhattan call girl, because:
“It’s so mainstream now…. When you look at people who are transmitting the news to you on television they all look like they’re in porn, the way they’re coiffed. It’s really crazy. There’s this like hyper-grooming thing going on now, men and women.
