What exactly goes on during a Nerve editorial meeting? Does Scanner goddess Sarah Hepola always bring in personal lubricant disguised as hair mousse (smells like vanilla!)? Sadly, not this week. In fact, she wasn’t even there…she chose to see Lust, Caution, Ang Lee’s sexy new NC-17 flick, instead.
That’s fine, if you’re into artfully-shot, slow-paced sex and ennui. We’re not. What she missed:
Peter Smith is too damn busy to go to tonight’s screening of Cruising. (Too busy to see Al Pacino playing a cop who goes undercover in gay ’70s nightlife? Crisco-covered forearms? Please.) Thankfully Will Doig will report on all things William Friedkin soon…
Sarah Harrison wants to check out the new Perez Hilton and TMZ TV shows. She just has to get a TV first. Motivating her? The new CW super-rich, super-tramp teen soap Gossip Girls. She’s been singing its slutty praises for awhile now. And now other illustrious media bigwigs agree .
Superhero John Constantine wants us all to get cozy in Nerve’s interview room, pour ourselves some Jameson, and talk about behind-the-scenes life at Nerve for Nerve Insider podcasts. Maybe if we drink enough, someone will finally try out the Size of a Man “phallumeasure” their PR company sent to us. Patent-pending, yo.
We also discussed Canadian bands, the Taliban, and condomless porn. Just another day at the office…check out Nerve in the coming weeks for all this and more. And let us know if you want the phallumeasure. Seriously. -- Nicole Ankowski
