Monday Yasbeck Elliffen points out in his e-mail that there are no known nudes of Amy Yasbeck, so these caps from "Denial" seem to corner the market on Yasbeck nudity. Her breasts are clearly visible beneath a semi-transparent top. another Yasbeck collage ... three diferent frames . a single frame. the last solo shot of Amy . Great Danes One guy wrote in to say ...hey, Scoop, you run tons of pictures and links to Germans and French babes and even mention Estonia once in a while, but where's the Danes? Well, there are two reasons why no Danes (1) as you Dutch and Danes know, Americans think Denmark and Holland are the same country. We ran some Dutch babes, so that should be enough for you Danes. (2) Brigitte Neilsen already met the entire quota of nudity for your country until 2003. .... OK, I'm just kidding. TheDane on parade is one of the three best women in the world at her racket sport. Unfortunately for her pocketbook, her sport is not tennis, but badminton. Camilla Martin. See how educational this page is? Yesterday, could you name a top-seeded women's badminton player? Here's another glam shot of Camilla, and the insert is a picture of her in fast-paced badminton action. Hey, scoff if you will, you macho fans, but 50 or 60 players die each year in badminton games, not to mention countless fans. When one of those little shuttlecocks rages out of control, it can take out an entire section of the stands and thousands of spectators with it. And that's not even mentioning those rowdy out-of-town British badminton fans terrorizing small European towns when their team loses. The final Dane today is calendar babe, Tina Kjaer. These first three are from her 1998 calendar. I haven't seen the 1999 one yet. Tina Kjaer. Tina Kjaer. All joking aside, you folks who haven't been to Denmark, you must go someday. In summer it is absolutely delightful, whether you go with your family or as a stag. The Danish people have hospitality down to a science, and might be the most fun-loving on the Continent. When I discussed taking another European assignment, I told my former company it was Copenhagen or not at all. One more of Tina. This time from the 1997 calendar. One more cool memory of Denmark. I once had a flight out of Copenhagen very early in the morning. I was checked in by 05:30, headed to my gate, and 1) I passed an open bar 2) there were a bunch of people sitting there with beers in front of them. To hell with Starbucks ... those Danes know how to start the morning. One more Tina, 1997. Vidcap round-up From Flurk: Juliette Binoche in "The English Patient". There are so many fine French actresses in their twenties and thirties, I cannot fathom why this wooden woman with a minimalist acting style is getting the roles and the awards. It is a mystery. I watched "Damage" recently, with Binoche and Jeremy Irons, and she was completely inexpressive throughout. She didn't even change her facial expression when her boyfriend caught her in bed with his father (the ever-lusty Irons). Her movements are always constricted and self-conscious. I find her irritating and not at all credible. Roger Ebert is not an inobservant man. He noticed how she seems paralyzed on camera, but he defends it as subtlely .... "because she can convince you that she is thinking and feeling, she doesn't need to 'do' things". Well, OK, Rog, if you say so. All I know is that I seem to be in the minority on this ... she won an Oscar in 1996. Although I'm sure 95% of the voters never watched "The English Patient", the Oscar still reflects the fact that she has an excellent reputation as an actress. But she drives me crazy. She even looks wooden in these vidcaps ... look at the shot with the army helmet on ... looks like Dukakis coming out of the tank. Nice caps by Flurk, though. From Flurk: Kristin Scott-Thomas in "The English Patient" . From Flurk: Francesca Van Thielen in "Licht" From Flurk: Tatiana Patitz in "The Rising Sun". The bottom half of this is the best job I've seen on the dimly-lit tabletop scene. From Freakie 2: nice caps of Chrissy Schultz in the wide-screen version of "Traumfrau ...". From PAL: Karin Schubert in "Morbosamente Vostra". For some reason, this title ending in "mente" reminded me of the only official commercial I can recall where the announcer mispronounces the name of the product. "Mentos .. the Freshmaker". God these commercials are irritating. They obviously hired some guy whose native language is something other than English, and in his heavy accent he says it as if the word was spelled "Mentoce". Hey, dudes, get a clue .. it ain't all that hard to listen to a Cheetos or Cheerios ad if you want to learn how to pronounce English words ending on "os". It rhymes with "doze", not with "dose". I once mentioned this to the Mentos guys at a c-store convention, and was pleased to know that they also found it embarrassing. They reminded me that the announcer doesn't do all that good a job on "maker" either. From PAL: Liliana Komorowska in "Astonished" From PAL: Sammi Davis in "Four Rooms". I've been up and down this crazy old world a bit, and I have seen a movie or two. I haven't seen many worse than this one. It is always a bizarre effort when non-funny filmmakers decide that they must do a comedy. Poor Tim Roth turns in a performance of mugging and tripping that would embarrass Shemp Howard. The directors had no clue how to make his part funny, so they let him make faces. The all-time example of a pseudo-comedy by a guy with no sense of humor has to be Ingmar Bergman's "Now about all these women" (now there's a funny guy!), which is a worthy candidate as the worst comedy ever made. From PAL: more of "Four Rooms". This time, Ione Skye. Strangely, Antonio Banderas (of all people) was sorta funny in his segment. Perhaps he will be the Leslie Nielsen of the future From PAL: Isabella Rosselini in "Dames Galantes" From Figgis: Figgis' own version of Isabella Rosselini in "Dames Galantes". From Figgis: more of Isabella Rosselini in "Dames Galantes" . from Figgis: Jennifer Nitsch in "Pirates of the Caribbean". Figgis says this is an Italian-German pirate movie that is even worse than it sounds. I mean, really, does this guy look like a pirate to you? Where's the eyepatch? where's the Parrot? Maybe I would be convinced if I could just hear him say "Har" with an Italian accent. from Figgis: more of Nitsch in "Pirates ...." From BFD. Jennifer Rubin in "The Fear Inside". From BFD. Jennifer Rubin in "The Fear Inside". The frame sequencing is beautifully planned and presented. From Blackshine. Tina Plate shower scene. Beautiful, clear vidcaps and good story-telling presentation. From Blackshine: Jamie Lee Curtis strips off her shirt in "Trading Places" . from JW: Caren Kaye in the r-rated trailer for "My Tutor". from Donbun: Dolly Read in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". Not to be confused with the trashy and serious original, this goofy film was the brainchild of Russ Meyer (filmmaker obsessed with large breasts), and Roger Ebert (film critic with large breasts). Ebert actually co-wrote this thing in his pre-critic days, which goes to prove that recognizing a great movie and creating one require vastly different skills. Haji in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". The movie's tagline: "breasts and drugs and rock 'n roll" Haji in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". Looks like the same cameraman who did the Batman TV series former playmate Cynthia Myers in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls". Sandra Hess in "Endangered". from RDO: Nancy Allen in "Dressed to Kill" from RDO: Angie Dickinson (and her recognized body double) in "Dressed to Kill". Graphic Response GR has been a busy beaver this week (well, come to think of it, it's pretty much like any other week). "Desert Hearts" is an infamous film, in a sense. It's kind of the same concept as The Fugitive Kind, the steamy flick where the drifter Brando wanders into a small Southern town and changes all the preconceptions of its inhabitants, most notably stirring up lusts long held in check. "Desert Hearts" chose to make Brando's part a lesbian. This makes it all the more amazing when she brings out the cloaked lust of the schoolmarm. (The plot is different, of course. Helen Shaver is the elegant teacher who is staying in Reno long enough to meet the Nevada residency requirement for her divorce.) Anyway, the movie contained an explicit and unapologetic lesbian love scene for which mainstream 1985 filmgoers were unprepared. This is Helen Shaver, as the refined professor. And this is Patricia Charbonneau as the tomboy drifter. Another look at Irene Jacob in "The Double Life of Veronique" Susan Sarandon in "Pretty Baby". This is the movie that made Brooke Shields famous. She did some nude scenes, but I have never run them on this page. She was about 12 at the time ... and I guess they just make me uncomfortable. In addition, I just don't know the nuances of the law in this regard. Jodie Fisher in "Intimate Obsession" Susan Sarandon in "The Hunger". This movie also included an infamous all-female love scene, between the beautiful Catherine Deneuve and Sarandon. It also included a more philosophical view of the eternal lives of vampires. Despite a good cast and concept, it really had no plot, so the director tried to drown you in atmosphere. (It was a first effort from Tony Scott, the same guy who recently directed "Enemy of the State". I haven't seen "Enemy", but I don't think I've ever liked one of his films: Days of Thunder, The Last Boy Scout, The Fan ...) Pics and info from Honte Honte's comments: "You wanted info on the movie "Hotel St. Pauli" so here you go; Yes, it was controversial and a lot of people commented on the fact that a movie like that could come from Norway. Let's face it, hardcore sex movies are not even allowed in that country (or at least they weren't at the time). I don't think the controversy was regarding this oral sex scene but rather the nudity in the rest of the movie. How this scene could slip through the tough Norwegian censorship, I don't know. The movie is about an artist guy who is in love with Amanda's odd character. They meet a weird other guy from the countryside whose biggest idol is Elvis and who still is a virgin. He gets to have sex with Amanda but the artist guy whips him with something when they are having sex so it becomes something of a sadist/machosistic thing. Later, the confused country boy is alone in a car with Amanda and forces her to have oral sex with him. Amanda's character figures that he is deeply unhappy, because he made her do something like that so she kills him to put him out of his misery. The artist guy however thought that the country guy just wanted to have sex really badly..." Ah, those Scandinavians and their cheerful outlook on life. Stringberg, Munch, Bergman ... wacky, fun-loving guys all. Anyway, here's Honte's capture of the oral sex scene Just in passing, I lived in Norway when that movie was made, and I don't remember it even being shown there. If you are from North America, you probably think of Norway and Sweden as one joined ice flow, but the countries are quite different. Although it has changed somewhat, Norway then was about the most conservative whitebread place you could imagine. No adult films, no strip clubs ... get this .... I couldn't take my eight year old son to see Kevin Costner's "Dances with Wolves" - even with me accompanying him - do you believe it? Anyway, here's another sample of Honte's work, this one from Honte's own page. I'll bet you didn't know former BondBabe Iza Scorupco is Swedish ... well, sort of. (Her family name is Ukrainian. She was born in Poland, raised in Sweden, and as you already know, speaks reasonably good English as well). Except for "Golden Eye", her most famous role is in "Petri Tears". Here's a sample Scorupco in "Petri Tears". I don't know why she still wants to act. After all, she has already reached the pinnacle of mankind's cinematic aspirations ... a movie with the Fun House's hero, Joe Don Baker. Scorupco in "Petri Tears" Scorupco naked in a European rock video speaking of European rock videos, here's MTVJ Maiken Wexo. Plenty more of her on Honte's own site Sigrid Thornton in "Snapshot" Cougar I moved these from the Saturday section because Cougar is announcing the grand opening of his own site. Here's three on a surprisingly underexposed subject: Rebecca Demornay in "Risky Business" Here's the collage. Cougar's work is premiered on our site. One enlargement another enlargement Some new scans This is from a theme layout on Estella Warren. I guess it is from the German edition of GQ Arianna David without her shirt. She's the model who was Miss Italy in 1993. Dolly Chaplin in a sheer top. She is the granddaughter of THE Chaplin, and was named Dolores in honor of Dolores Del Rio. Glynis Barber. She's the South African native who starred in the BBC series, "Jane". Porn star Debi Diamond, from Satan The next few are from Magicman, and the first three are 1950's starlet Diana Dors. Although she started as a child actress, she underwent a metamorphosis into kind of a Grade-Z Jane Mansfield with a British accent. In many old pictures of them, you often can't tell which one of them it is. She was born with about the most unfortunate name you can imagine. Gentlemen, meet Mavis Fluck Here's Mavis Fluck again, aka Diana Dors one more of Miss Fluck. Upon her untimely death at age 53, she left all her wealth to establish a university in her name. Fluck U. Catch of the Day We don't run all that many caps from Sing, but whenever his work appears, it always appears as the lead story of the day. First caps from American History X on this site. First caps I've seen of Fairuza Balk without a body double. What more can ya say? Sing's gallery may be found at Star Net, alongside free galleries of the works of Donbun, Valentino, and a whole bunch of other talented guys. Here's the mammoth-chested Lisa Nichole Carson. maybe I was wrong about Mimi Rogers. This lady may have a bigger chest. Anyway, if you look closely, you'll see that her blouse is translucent. You don't have to see through on this one of Carson. Her right nipple is just (barely) visible Devin DeVasquez hasn't done any new topless shots in a long time, so this picture of her in June, 1998 is a real treasure from the new issue of Celebrity Sleuth. Back in the 1980's, I worked in the magazine business, and I love magazines, but there are only two magazines of which I read every word of every single issue: Vanity Fair and Celebrity Sleuth. That's how much I like Sleuth's presentation. Here's his website. WOW! Master Bagger hasn't been at the vidcapping game that long, but this collage really puts him in the big leagues. A lovely presentation of Elizabeth Shue in "Cousin Bette". Rich colors, sharp images, and a great choice of frames. Shue is breathtakingly beautiful here, but I think she's ready to challenge Rose McGowan for the award for "least tanned celebrity". I guess that would make her the anti-George Hamilton Here's a good reason to watch NBC. Jenna von Oy standing on the dining room table in bikini underwear. Beats the hell out of George Costanza in his briefs. Amber Smith in an episode of Red Shoe Diaries. Gail Porter's rear, from the Dec '98 edition of GQ-UK. Chumba Chumba has done some new scans from the new Pirelli calendar. Here's a sample. Shirley Mallman Michele Hicks Elsa Benitez also from Chumba ... kinda cool picture from FHM ... the sexy babes of Brit TV in white undies. Full Body Massage from Aesthete You thought Aesthete was finished with Full Body Massage? Hah! As of yesterday we had not even started on the actual masssaging. Here's Mimi in a rarely-capped outdoor scene. a massage for Mimi's mammoth chest a message for the Rogers rump more rump massaging Mimi, back to the camera Mimi, walking fromt he camera Mimi in underwear, inspecting herself in the mirror Same scene, she takes off the bra Freakie 2 Here's a quick new gallery from Freakie 2. Tara Fitzgerald is rapidly establishing a fine legacy of screen nudity. Here's her skinny dip in "The Student Prince". Here is Amanda Ooms sipping from the love-Slurpee in "Hotel St. Pauli". I didn't know this scene existed. I am surprised to see this in a 1988 Norwegian film that was rated "Age 15" in Sweden. ????? Can anybody tell me a bit about the context? Was it controversial? Alexandra Maria Lara in "The Bubi Scholtz Story" Alexandra Maria Lara in "The Bubi Scholtz Story" Renee Soutendijk in "Hauptsache Leben" #german-celebs The various members of the #german-celebs channel on the Undernet are producing in profusion lately.
