"Mo' Better Blues" (1990)

Mo' Better Blues (1990) is a story both about Jazz, and about relationships. I enjoy Spike Lee's work in general, I think Cynda Williams oozes sex appeal, am impressed with the acting of Denzel Washington and Wesley Snipes, and love Jazz. There was no way I wouldn't like the film about a trumpeter/band leader Bleek Gilliam (Washington), his gambling addict manager (Spike Lee), the saxophonist who is constantly trying to outdo him (Snipes), and his two girlfriends - Williams and Joie Lee. The score was written by Spike's father, and many of the songs were performed by Branford Marsalis and his group. Cynda sings an amazing rendition of the WC Handy tune, Harlem Blues.

If you have seen this, any more plot would bore you, and if you haven't, go rent it. What more could you ask for? A great character driven drama, good acting, great music, and Cynda Williams' breasts. IMDB readers have it at 6.5/10. Maltin was unimpressed at 2 stars, but the US gross was a respectable $16.153m. Maltin complained of it being a little long and slow paced. The difference between his view and mine might be appreciation for the music.

    "North Dallas Forty" (1979)

    North Dallas Forty (1979) is a semi-fictional look at professional football, based on a book by a former player for the Dallas Cowboys. The film highlights Nick Nolte as an aging wide receiver with "the best hands in football," who requires drugs to suite up and play pain free due to his many battle scars. He is beginning to dislike the way the owners and the coaches are treating the players, but his best friend and quarterback, Mac Davis, has learned how to play both football and franchise politics, and cheat at both when necessary.

    Despite the age of this film, it holds up well today, and much of what it has to say about professional sports is still going on. This is on my list of the best football films of all time. Which begs the question, what is your pick for the best football film of all time. Send your nominations to tuna@scoopy.com, and we will have a poll later in the week. Films from any era are acceptable. Here are a few to get you started:

    Any Given Sunday
    Brian's Song
    Semi-Tough
    The Longest Yard
    North Dallas Forty
    The Replacements

    Maltin shares my enthusiasm with this film, giving it 3 1/2 stars. IMDB readers say 7.2/10. This is a must see, with comedy, drama, action, and a little sex.

    Here's Altman's Dr. T and the Women, now available on DVD. You have to love Bob Altman. He tells women that if they want to be in his films they're likely to show it all - and by golly a lot of famous ones get their clothes off. In this movie, some pretty damned famous ones. Farrah is now 87 years old, but she looks fantastic. Liv Tyler didn't get naked. She sure looked different. In her final scene, in her bridesmaid dress, she looked like she gained about 40 pounds since "Onegin". Not sure what the deal is.

    Alice's Restaurant, a piece of gentle nostalgia for the hippie times.

     


    New to DVD: Urban Legends: Final Cut, no flesh to speak of, but in one scene a plane experiences turbulence while a woman is receiving oral gratification. Not sure what you can see - but here it is, whatever it is.

    The Sixth Chapter of Volume C is updated. Big sub-edition, nearly 200 new ones.

    Arielle Dombasle
    (1, 2, 3, 4)

    Gettin' in on with everyone's favorite nut-job, Klaus Kinski in scenes from 1981's "Fruits of Passion", aka "The Story of O Continued". I think my favorite is link #4...that one that shows Kinski buck-nekkid except for his knee-high socks and white shoes. Highly fashionable.

    Isabelle Illiers
    (1, 2, 3, 4)

    Much more frontal nudity, and much less Kinski in these 'caps featuring plenty of freaky sexual situations from "Fruits of Passion".

    Charlotte Rampling
    (1, 2)

    Full frontal nudity from 1974's "The Night Porter". Maltin calls this Italian film a "Bizarre drama, about a sadomasochistic relationship between an ex-Nazi and the woman he used to abuse sexually in a concentration camp. Strictly for students of the sleazy."

    So where can I get a copy?

    Kira Reed
    (1, 2, 3, 4)

    The soft core legend showing off her big uns, and performing a lot of simulated sex in "The Price of Desire". Mostly straight sex scenes with your typical buff dude, plus a little lesbo lovin' in link #4.

    Stephanie Swift Full frontal nudity and lesbo scenes, also from "The Price of Desire".

    Paloma Picasso
    (1, 2)

    Yup, that's right, the daughter of Pablo Picasso doing full frontal nude scenes in 1974's "Immoral Tales". It's her only credited role in the IMDb, and she doesn't look too shabby.

    Charlotte Alexandra Topless and a bit of bum exposure, also from "Immoral Tales"

    Florence Bellamy Still more full frontal, and full dorsal nudity from 1974's "Immoral Tales".

    Lisa Danvers Topless 'cap and an extreme close-up view below the equator from "Immoral Tales".

    Pascale Christope The final image from "Immoral Tales", and yes still more nudity!

    Sharon Stone Breast exposure from the little known 1989 movie "Blood and Sand".

    and ...
    Tiffani-Amber Thiessen
    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
    Comments by Mr. T:
    Here are some scans of Tiffani Thiessen (she apparently lost the "Amber") from the March 2001 issue of FHM (US edition.) I didn't finish cleaning up the cover picture (the mailman and the mailing label practically ruined the lower right corner), but it's good enough so I'm including it. There's one more shot of Thiessen in the magazine, but it's a 2-page spread and I can't get a good joined scan without ripping out the pages, and that ain't gonna happen with my only copy.

    Jr. Here...whether it's Tiffani-Amber, Tiffani, or just plain T...who cares when she look this good! These are very hot scans, and despite the lack of nudity, I still highly recommend checking them all out!

    Martina Colombari
    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

    An absolute babe on the cover of as well as inside the Italian GQ. I put these is descending order of nudity. Links #1 and #2 have clear exposure. Links #3-6 have partials. #7 is a picture of her back, and link #8 looks like the cover to the Red Hot Chili Peppers CD "Blood Sugar Sex Magik".

    Clémence Arnaud
    (1, 2, 3)

    I'm not French, nor do I plan on being French anytime in the future. So why this person is a celebrity is lost on me. Regardless here are some paparazzi pics of this "celeb" topless and in a thong at the beach.

    Mr. John Hinckley
    St. Elizabeth Hospital
    Washington D.C.

    Dear John,

    Hillary and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how pleased we are with the great strides you are making in your recovery.

    In our country's new spirit of understanding and forgiveness we want you to know there is a bilateral consensus of compassion and forgiveness abroad throughout the land. Hillary and I want you to know that no grudge is borne against you for shooting President Reagan.

    We, above all, are aware of how the mental stress and pain could have driven you to such an act of desperation. Hillary and I are confident that you will soon make a complete recovery and return to your family to join the world again as a healthy and productive young man.

    Best wishes,

    Bill Clinton
