Somehow I missed this one:"Looking for a change, photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders started a series of portraits of porn stars, to be displayed in pairs – clothed and unclothed. Thinking XXX is a sort of bonus feature to his show, a documentary that cuts between the photos shoots and interviews with his subjects, as well as a slightly idiosyncratic group of talking heads who are, one supposes, supposed to provide the 'Thinking' part of the title."
Why is it strange I missed it? Well:
"The talking head segments are a mixed bag; author Gore Vidal doesn’t have much new to say; director John Waters does, with characteristic wry humour. The best of all doesn’t even appear in the film, but as a group of bonus extended interviews – singer Lou Reed reading out a collage of porn spam he’s received, trying and failing to keep a straight face."
I guess I'm going to have to watch this. (It's always nice to get a valid excuse to watch a dirty movie.)
