Roadhouse 66 (1984) is a kind of buddy movie staring Judge Reinhold as a rich kid working with his father on a fast food chain but itching to break free, and Willem Dafoe as a former music star who gave up on life when his partner was killed in a car crash. They meet when the local bad boy in Kingman, Arizona shoots a hole in the radiator of Reinhold's classic Tbird. Dafoe helps him limp into Kingman, where they try to by a radiator, but end up in stead with the sisters who own the auto parts store, Kaaren Lee and Kate Vernon. They also continue to have problems with the local hood and bully, and the conflict is to be decided with a classic car race on old Route 66.

Lee and Vernon both show breasts, and I suppose I should have added romantic comedy to the genre, as everyone lives happily ever after. IMDB readers have this at 4.3 of 10. Reinhold had a shit eating grin on his face the entire film, and Dafoe didn't do Brando well at all. The plot was rather predictable as well, but some of the supporting cast were colorful, and both woman were hugely appealing. I will give this a C-. Not great film making, but ok as light entertainment.

A note on Rita Jenrette (see Tuna's section above)

John Jenrette and his wife Rita were the perfect young Washington couple in the late 70s.  They were both smart and attractive, and they were known to play well with others. Their future seemed unlimited. Rita might have been our First Lady by now, except that John, a congressman from South Carolina, was caught in the Abscam sting that nailed six members of congress on corruption charges. Their story started to get weird after that. John Jenrette made a strange on-air call to the Phil Donahue show when Rita was the guest. There was a country song commemorating Rita's testimony that she once found $25,000 in one of John's shoes. Rita did a Playboy spread. They separated and divorced.

Instead of being remembered as our sexiest First Couple, they are now most famous for having had sex on the steps of the U.S. Capitol building during a break in an all-night House session.

Rita used the notoriety gained from the Abscam exposure to establish a Grade-Z "acting" career. She posed for Playboy in April of 1981, then did a few episodes of The Edge of Night, an episode of Fantasy Island, and was soon toiling away in the immortal Zombie Island Massacre pictured above.

LASSITER (1984)

I've seen this movie about a bazillion times, usually listening to it while I worked, until the Jane Seymour nudity got to to look at the TV screen. It seems like there were weeks when I was trapped in hotel rooms in places like Nicaragua, and this was the only thing on HBO. It's neither a very good movie nor a very bad one, but I have to say Jane Seymour's tush is definitely the highlight. I made this .wmv from an excellent film clip by Graphic Response.

• If there is a white asterisk, it means that there isn't any significant humor, but I inexplicably determined there might be something else of interest.

ROCKBITCH

• The members of this radical rock band are always fighting with the legal authorities over nudity and obscenity. They believe that nobody in the European public cares about nudity, and to prove their point, they resolved to spend one entire day walking around Amsterdam wearing nothing but high heels. Pretty interesting! I don't know if it's worthwhile to watch all three .wmv files, because it's repetitious, but you might enjoy watching one.

Perhaps these tips will help if you have trouble with the codecs for these movies:

Shiloh says:

FYI when I hypercam vids to make the file size smaller I use DivX MPEG-4 Fast-Motion for the video compressor, then I use virtualdub to compress the audio. The properties for the vids says the video codec:  DivX Decoder Filter & audio codec:  Morgan Stream Switcher which I'm not familiar with. When I compress the audio with virtualdub I use MPEG Layer-3.  A friend of mine told me about compressing the audio about (6) mos. ago. Like I said previously, only been capping for a year & a half & I'm no expert. Hopefully this info will help members with the proper codecs for my vids.

 

When I cap big brother's I use hypercam mostly & sdp & asfrecorder if the set up allows me. I stopped using camtasia cause the file sizes were always too big, could never figure out the process, over my head lol, plus it cost too much to buy in my opinion.

A reader says:

You mentioned that some users were having trouble with the videos on your site. There is a tool designed to determine what codec is needed for a video. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ Hope this is useful to you or your users.

Scoop says:

I made the .wmv versions of each video. The codecs for these: Windows Video V8, Windows Audio 9. The upside of these is that you know the codecs, and they'll play in the Windows Media Player. The downside is that they are slightly larger, and slightly lower quality.

"Intimacy"
This 2001 movie, which had a French writer/directory, tried very hard to be an artsy and erotic French film. While it was certainly explicit in parts (at least the N/R version), it didn't quite pull off the rest.

Set in London, a head bartender who has abandoned his wife and children has weekly sex with a woman who is basically a stranger. They enjoy each other without even knowing one another's name. Then he follows her and learns more about her, which totally screws up the relationship.

This is a tough movie to like, because the main character is a real jerk, and everything built around the very graphic sex scenes is pretty boring. So unless you're very intested in watching Kerry Fox give a blow job, which she does in the N/R version, you'll probably be just as happy looking at the collages.

• Kerry Fox, full frontal nudity, having sex (real, not pseudo) and giving a BJ.
• Rebecca R. Palmer, also full frontal.
