Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
Just a big name for AVN to use in their promos.

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
Who knows wtf AVN is thinking, they've never really had a firm grasp of anything beyond the video/dvd part of the biz.

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
Well, when you look at the new newsletters that AVN is sending out, it sure looks like they've giving up on the Internet and on novelty. It's all Video and even the websites they promote are mainly "Porn Star". Just another nail in the coffin for AVN industry support.

Different perspectives are good, and while Sasha may not be everyone's cuppa, she is fairly intelligent. I respect the hell out of you, but I think we do ourselves and our industry a disservice when we presume that because someone fucks on film they are incapable of having anything to contribute.

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
That depends entirely on which "industry leader". A great many of them got to where they are simply by being there first years ago and becoming an 800 lb. gorilla.

I mean, clearly, that would be the only motivation I would have for wanting to hear what someone who has some pretty solid mainstream recognition under her belt just for being exactly who she is, without trying to sanitise herself, and has been featured in more non-porn outlets than anyone in years. Obviously. But, no, EJ, this time, it's not about "girl power." 'Cos I am not a Spice Girl. *ding*

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
Not what I would call mainstream. Interviews don't qualify....tittilating movies don't qualify.... Fringy maybe. Mainstream.....hmmmmm
Let me put it this way. Before I was in the porn racket, I would never have said this girl was anything but a porn queen. Mainstream is a term used only by porn people. |

She may be a porn queen - I'm ok with that. But she's the most recognisable porn queen in non-adult media since Little Miss Underage, bar none. I've never seen any other porn personality get as much attention in m/s ad campaigns, movies, or press. Sure, it's all due to porn, but that's kinda an interesting tell in and of itself, I think. I'm not saying she is mainstream - I'm saying that she's had more wide-spread (heh, pun not actually intended) exposure in non-porn media than any starlet I can think of. And yes, I include Jenna Jameson and Stormy here.

We work in a "entrance at the rear" (no pun intended) kind of business. Murky is what we strive for. I am not quit sure why so many porn guys seem to need validation from the square world. And that would be the only reason to make her a keynote speaker and even that is a stretch. Sure I would like to hear her story but more out of curiosity if I happened to be at the show. It wouldn't attract me. She is surfer bait as far as I can see. |

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show

The part for me that makes this make sense is that she is an intelligent woman in this business (if a bit pretentious in her "I'm 21 and know everything and am VERY SMART LOOK AT ME" kinda way), on a side we don't usually look at, with avenues open to her that have been unexplored. It feels like a way to break out of our shuttered world with blinders - and I think we must be honest, that as an industry, we very much are that way. We have a corner, and we like to stay there. Perhaps the shake up is a way to show us that won't work anymore. Perhaps because she isn't what we've looked to in the past as a key note is precisely what will make her valuable.

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
Keep in mind that "mainstream" industry use celebrities all the time as keynote speakers. It's all too common at large conventions to get the people out. But it has always been something I have been against in business. Used properly, a keynote speaker should start off the seminar and guide it in the selected direction, including acting as moderator. Of course, to do that, you should actually know something about the industry you are speaking too.
My problem is that while she may be articulate, Sasha Grey is no genius by any stretch of the imagination. For one thing, and as Liz pointed out, she is much too young and inexperienced to be taken the least bit seriously. For another, she doesn't know or understand a thing about what any of us actually do. May as well just hired a D list celebrity (which would actually be a step up!). I really believes it does belittle our industry to have her give the keynote address. This has nothing to do with her being a Porn Star and spreading her legs to make a living. My wife has been doing that since Sasha was 4 years old! It has to do with the perception within and without the industry. I would hope by now we could show professionalism at shows and keep the eye candy in the background. We want to show the world that we are a legitimate and real industry, but every time we do something as ridiculous as this, we just backslide in everyone's eyes. This is just another example on how AVN has lost touch with everything! |

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
And I guess the parent company that owns AEE declairing bankruptcy is just a further indication of that....
And you know if AEE is having it tough ... Internext is got to be hurting.

But I think you'll see the overall perception is WTF is up with choosing her as keynote. She's 21. She's been in the business 3 years. I had to look her up to see who she was, apparently her mainstream celebrity is one of the bands included their favorite porn chick to spank it to in a video. Oh, and a couple of shots on talk shows sensationalizing "teens in porn" when she was still 18-19. I guess she could talk about what it takes to win the AVN award for best 3 way. Maybe she really is smart and we're all really underestimating her. It's still yet another highly questionable decision by AVN. The keynote doesn't target the fans, it targets business. Whether it be video, web or whatever, none of us are typically awestruck by talent. |

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
I will turn around and argue the other side here and say AVN has no good choices for keynote.
We have NO true industry leaders. This industry doesn't work as an industry. We work as a collection of businesses all selling the same thing. We're cut throat though, there's NO cooperation even when it would be in everyone's best interest. Many of our "successful" business people as has already been pointed out just were in right place at right time. Others just want to "big dick" tell you how much they've made and that it cant be done now. And the ones who actually know a little something and have some really good ideas are damned sure not going to get up in front of a room and tell you about them. See above, there's NO benefit for them to do so and a zillion reasons NOT to. |

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
Imagine making the first Death Wish movie today! (there is a remake in production BTW) The graphic rape scene at the beginning would get nixed right off the top! Many of the movies made in the 1960's and 1970's couldn't be done today. They would offend our sensibilities and political correctness!

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
I've seen Joanna in action on a panel at a show (Cybernet '06, Tampa). She's not a good choice for a keynote speaker, trust me on this one.

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
I have said it a million times
If you play a hooker, a stripper or a porn star it isnt mainstream, its just type casting. That said this is the most retarded thing I have heard in a long time but oddly it doesn't surprise me. Sasha is a bit like Forest Gump, say a bunch of pseudo intellectual claptrap and people think you have some sort of intelligence....says a lot more about people than it does Sash and Forest carry on |

Re: Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show
I think Sasha Grey seems pretty cool, but being able to keep a head on her shoulders about being a porn star is not the same as being expert in traffic or any of the sorts of information which would get me to a panel at a trade show. I find it kind of depressing that so many of the industry trade shows are treating professional webmasters like surfer customers.
