So, I notice that Ari Graynor plays the heroine's sister in both Fringe and What's Your Number? That's weird, right? One a suspenseful sci-fi TV show, the other a raunchy female-oriented comedy, yet she plays the same role. I like to imagine this conversation happening at some casting agency.

Casting director 1: Okay, we need someone to play the heroine. How about Ari Graynor?

Casting director 2: Are you kidding me? Look at her nose!



Casting director 1: I like it. It gives her face character.

Casting director 2: Character? We did not invent Photoshop, plastic surgery, and hair dye so that female celebrities could have distinctive appearances! Why don't we make her the heroine's sister? Because she's less attractive than the heroine. And the lead character should always be the most attractive.

Onto porn!

This is an interesting read right here, not just because it's about a male porn star who avoids the usual "six-foot-five ex-con with a tribal tattoo and a shaved head" cliche (uhh... or so I've been told. By box_in_the_box), but because there is a female fandom for the dude. Like, on tumblr. Porn star fangirls just doesn't sound like a real thing, it's like something William Gibson would come up with for Keanu Reeves to deal with (oh, low blow, I know).

Also, I'm embarrassed to know the names of as many female porn stars as I do, even if it's because of stuff like them reading in elementary schools, (random thought process: joke about pornography > use of Lisa Ann as a punchline > "Shit, too niche, too niche!" > change it to Jenna Jameson. Everyone knows about Jenna Jameson. Ladies, I don't care who you are, your boyfriend has probably seen Jenna Jameson naked more times than you). So you can imagine my feelings about knowing Spider-Man XXX is played by Xander Corvus, which I only remembered because it validated my theory that porn is the one place your made-up spy name from sixth grade can come in handy. But anyway, if James Deen doesn't sound like he's smoked since conception, he probably should've gotten the job, since he appears to basically be a Peter Parker who shoots porn films instead of fighting the Rhino.
