As a tie-in with its current Film Issue, Nerve.com's sex advice column this week reveals the wit and wisdom of video store clerks. Here's a clip, or you can read the whole thing here. Pervs.
Describe the sexual proclivities of a woman whose favorite actress is:
Angelina Jolie?
A few years ago, I would have said this person was a little freaky and interesting, but now it would probably be some nineteen-year-old suburban girl who wants to make out with other girls at bars. She thinks she's wild and hot, but lacks any real finesse.
Tilda Swinton?
I'm tempted to say lesbian, but I shouldn't generalize. "Open-minded."
Chloe Sevigny?
She used to be a dirty girl, but now she seems a little controlling. Very specific. "Only pee on me here, and not too much" and whatnot.
Kids these days.... Now, long ago, the cinetrix worked for a snotty well-regarded video store, but discretion prohibits her from confirming or denying any of these observations. She can offer you only this advice: Be kind, rewind.
Oh, and don't get lube on the pornos. Your mother does not work at the store, and no one else wants to clean up after you.
