Get Spread To Go

Advertorial/Competition: Get Intimate With Spread On Us

Get Flash player


"This is getting really uncomfortable," says Spread star Ashton Kutcher after watching his character get fucked in a leather chair during commentary embedded in the special features of the DVD version the film. Indeed Kutcher complains that acting in the film often caused him intense discomfort -- "agony" even -- brought on by frequent and severe bouts of vasocongestion in his nether regions (a condition more commonly referred to as blue balls).

Those who watched the film in theaters earlier this year may empathize as the film features some of the hottest sex scenes seen in a mainstream film in recent years. Thus, as Kutcher waited until the cameras stopped rolling to work out frustrations brought on by the day's acting off set with his wife Demi Moore, many cinemagoers had similarly uncomfortable commutes home. Needless to say, Spread is likely to do considerably better when it's released on DVD and Blu-Ray on Nov 10th than it did at the box office, for this is a film best experienced in the private confines of your own home (preferably with relief close at hand if you catch our drift).

In Spread, Kutcher plays Nikki a charming freeloader who hopes to get ahead by getting head -- and servicing the needs of his wealthy female companions. Co-star Anne Heche is perhaps the film's biggest surprise however. She plays Samantha, one of Nikki's well-heeled marks. It's without doubt the Sappho-esque actresses' most erotic role to date. "I've gone further in this movie than I have ever before," says Heche, before adding, "Why didn't I do this when I was 22?"

The actress and mother of two, who hit forty in May of this year, confronts the no holes barred (pun intended) sex scenes with a refreshing honesty. Though the action is often graphic, Heche's toned body shows scant evidence of the two children it bore, and the numerous encounters with Kutcher's character are both hyper-erotic and hyper-real.

Samantha may accuse Nikki of being "nothing but six inches and a pretty face," but it's his mastery of the art of the pick-up that gives the Hollywood player -- and therefore the film -- an edge. Indeed, in the aforementioned commentary, Kutcher fesses up to being a student of The Game, journalist Neill Strauss' infamous seduction bible (which spawned the VH1 reality show The Pick-Up Artist).

Throughout the film, Kutcher's character schools us on the basics of The Game: "There is only one pick up line -- Hi, what's your name? -- everything else is cheese." Player-centric tips such as "Never show her you're impressed -- it lowers your market value" and "You want to give them a good fucking, but not too good -- leave a little room for the relationship to grow" keep the dialog sharp and heighten the irony when the master player ultimately gets outplayed.

Visually, the third character in the plot is Samantha's sleek and stunning, glass-walled Hollywood Hills home -- Nikki's Spread du jour -- which serves as the film's sensual playground. However, for drama's sake, emotionally, the love triangle is completed by newcomer Margarita Levieva's character, Heather, who brings unexpected chaos to Nikki's highly controlled world.

Though Spread is an erotic comedy caper that celebrates all that is wrong with Los Angeles -- a metropolis that idolizes the beautiful and superficial -- Kutcher, unlike his character, is wise enough to keep his baser Hollywood instincts in check. "I've played the game enough to know it doesn't end well," says Kutcher, who married his smokin' hot older women in 2005. "The only way to win is through true passion and love*."

Footnote:

Spread The Love With Ashton Kutcher and Win A Signed Fine Art Print

Get Flash player


SuicideGirls has teamed up with the folks behind the new film Spread to bring you a special movie themed competition. Winners will receive a giclee fine art print of the Spread poster image signed the artist, David Ellis, and the star of Spread, Ashton Kutcher.

Spread is an erotic caper and cautionary Hollywood tale. Think Red Shoe Diaries meets Cruel Intentions -- or a Wild Orchid for Generation Z. It stars Ashton Kutcher, who plays Nikki, a charming freeloader, who trades his sexual prowess for the financial advantages ladies of a certain age and position can provide. As the film heats up, Nikki gets caught in a love/lust triangle between Samantha (Anne Heche), a mature woman with a sleek car, beautiful property and a well balanced portfolio, and Heather (Margarita Levieva), a hot young waitress who may just end up beating him at his own game. However, Nikki's tried and tested dating technique will always mean he'll end up on top -- with the object of his affections underneath:

Nikki's Top Ten Pickup Tips:


    1. There's only one opening line: "Hi, I'm Nikki." Everything else is cheese.
    2. Never show her you're impressed. It lowers your market value.
    3. You've got to look like a rebel before you look like a sensitive guy.
    4. You can't go wrong with girls' tennis.
    5. Cook her dinner. It doesn't matter if you can cook or not. Girls grade on effort. It is almost better when the meal is a flop.
    6. When a girl tells you you're not getting any, before you ask....before you even try...you're getting some.
    7. You want to give them a good fucking. But not too good. Leave a little room for the relationship to grow.
    8. I always follow up a meaningless fuck with a chatty phone call. An easy call after a lay can go a long way.
    9. I am homeless, carless, and completely unreliable. But I do have a cell phone, that happens to be right beside her. That is right baby, 19 other offers and I am here creating equity with you.
    10. Think of it as an point system: 1 for flowers. 2 dinner. 3 for an orgasm. You need 26 points for them to trust you. Then you can go back to watching football.



Have you got a line that's guaranteed to open more than a conversation that you'd like to share with the world?

Miss Truth Hurts: Advice That Rocks by Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna


For this month's Miss Truth Hurts column SuicideGirls has teamed up with the folks behind the new romantic comedy Spread to bring you questions and advice inspired by the film.

Spread
stars Ashton Kutcher who plays Nikki, a charming freeloader, who trades his sexual prowess for the financial advantages ladies of a certain age and position can provide. As the film heats up, Nikki gets caught in a love/lust triangle between Samantha (Anne Heche), a mature woman with a sleek car, beautiful property and a well balanced portfolio, and Heather (Margarita Levieva), a hot young waitress who may just end up beating him at his own game.



Here's some nuggets of advice that the three leading characters in the film could do with swallowing:


Q: I used to do bar work and wait tables, but now get by thanks to the significantly richer partners I date. No money changes hands, but I make sure all my bills get paid. Does this make me a whore? And isn't everyone to some extent? There's always some kind of a trade off in a relationship right? Do you think there's anything wrong with seeking relationships based on money rather than this abstract and unreliable feeling we call love?

A: I just finished co-writing porn star Tera Patrick's memoir, Sinner Takes All: A Memoir of Love, Marriage & Porn (shameless self-plug: out Jan. 5 via Gotham/Penguin), and she talks about this very subject. To paraphrase her, she says, "We're all 'hos on this bus, whether you're a porn star, a prostitute, a stripper, or a girl dating a rich guy who buys her things." Everyone is a whore in some way at some point in their life, whether it's whoring your talent or skills out to the corporate man for a nice salary or accepting an expensive dinner date from a guy you don't really like, we've all been there. But, true love is amazing and having a fulfilling career where you can support yourself is equally as satisfying, so don't give up on that too soon. It's not as abstract and unreliable as you think.


Q: I'm looking for the perfect pick up line to hone my dating technique. My buddy Nikki says there's only on pick up line, “Hi, what’s your name?” and that everything else is cheese. What do you think?

A: Remember what I said about everyone's a whore at some point in their life in the first question above? Well, I'm a plug whore right now. Go ahead and send hate mail. I don't care. The, "Hi, what's your name?" line is an example I actually have in my book, Cherry Bomb: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Better Flirt, a Tougher Chick and a Hotter Girlfriend and to Living Life Like a Rock Star, and it truly is the simplest, most charming, and honest way to meet someone. Try it and you'll see.


Q: I've heard that you should never show a woman that you’re impressed since it lowers your market value. The strategy works really well for my pal Nikki. Why do women go for men who pull these kind of mind games?

A: I hate to admit it and it's shameful to my gender, but the truth is, yes, it does work. Why do women like guys who act like they don't give a damn? It's because most women love a challenge and think they can turn a bad boy good. So, if you're not interested, she will try harder to make you interested whether she really likes you or just wants to prove she can turn a negative into a positive. But, think of it this way: Do you really want a woman like this?


Q: My sometime roommate is a bar crawling philosopher. He says, “When a girl tells you that you're not getting any before you ask, before you even try, it means you’re getting some.” Do you agree?

A: Uh, sometimes no means no. If a woman says "no way" right away, you are probably not even on a real date with her. That said, most women love being pursued and seduced, so there is always room for that "no" to turn into a "yes" if you make the right moves. There is an art to seduction.


Q: My friend has this point system theory: 1 for flowers, 2 for dinner, 3 for an orgasm. He figures you need to get 12 points in the love bank before a woman will trust you -- then you can go back to watching football. Do you think this is wrong, right, cynical, or all of the above?

A: First of all, if you're with a girl who doesn't let you watch football or join you at a game now and then, you're with a bitch. Second, lose the point system. It's a wee bit immature and frat-boy-ish.


Q: I've just turned 40 and am attracted to younger men, who always end up leaving me for younger women. Some might call me a cougar, but do you think I'm really the immature one here since I'm unable to find happiness with men my own age?

A: If you want hot sex only, keep dating the young studs. If you want a real relationship, date someone on your own level and that usually (emphasis on usually) means someone with similar life experiences, who's in the same place in life that you are, and, yes, who is within five years of your age either way. There's nothing immature about dating younger. What you need to think about is what you want: fun, sexy flings or a serious commitment.


Q: I'm considering vaginal rejuvenation to keep my younger man happy in bed. What's your advice? Should I go for it? My doctor tells me I'll be out of action for five days, but it'll be "well worth the wait."

A: If you can afford it and have thoroughly done your research on doctors, then go for it! But, don't do it for your younger man. Do it for yourself. And, ask yourself this question: if your man did NOT want you to do it, would you still do it? If the answer is no, then you're doing it for the wrong reason. You're a brave woman to even consider it. Ouch!


Q: Often I can envision my future with a girl before they cum. Then afterwards I just want them to stop touching me. Do you think there's something wrong with me?

A: You're fucked up, my friend. See a shrink.
