Scream Queen Hot Tub Party (1991) was conceived, written, directed and produced by Fred Olin Ray and Jim Wynorski. It was shot on Hi 8mm in one day at Jim Wynorski's home. The women were given a piece of the profit, and Wynorski and Ray did their own distribution. As it never found its way into the rental market, this has always been a rather rare film, other than pirate copies. The plot is a throw-away. Five scream queens are invited to a mansion for a seminar on scream queens. The host isn't around, so they change into negligees, then use an Ouija board to figure out what to do. The answer? Get into the hot tub. Each of the women in turn describe some aspect of scream queen technique, such as the shower scene, chain saw play, firearms, the importance of exercise, etc. The entire thing was padded with clips from other films owned by Ray or Wynorski in which one or more of the girls appeared. These include footage from "Slumber Party Massacre," "Sorority House Massacre II," "Tower of Terror," "Emmanuelle V," "Evil Toons," "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers." .

So, absent plot and acting, why would anyone watch this masterpiece? Brinke Stevens, Monique Gabrielle, Kelli Moroney (Zow Kelly Simon), Michelle Bauer and Roxanne Kernohan, all showing breasts. The women were all in great shape, and had the god sense not to take this seriously.

"Why did we have to change into nighties to reach the spirit world? DO spirits prefer nighties?" No, I think the producer just wanted an excuse to get us to undress."

"I was just thinking ..." "A scream queen never thinks."

The DVD includes a still gallery, a commentary with Ray and Wynorski, and One Million Heels B.C. 25 people have it at 1.5 of 10. I can't possibly give this less than a C. It is easily the best of all scream queen hot tub party films. The idea was so unique that all five girls had to agree not to make another film like it for any other director for at least a year. When others saw how much money it was making, all five girls were approached to make a clone for someone else. The video quality is not great, as the source material was 8 mm, but it is watchable, and the commentary is sometimes interesting.

Eurotrip (2004):

I wrote a long, long review which spoiled many of the best jokes. The review is pretty funny, but my real suggestion is to do whatever you have to do to see this movie, if it sounds like your kind of material. Written by three Seinfeld writers, this is like an episode of Seinfeld with the gloves off. It is raunchy, gross, offensive, sexy, politically incorrect, filled with gratuitous nudity, and deeply cynical. (But not mean-spirited) Of course, those elements make the potential audience quite small, but if you are in that audience, as I am, this is your movie, dudes! It also works like an episode of Seinfeld by weaving all the themes and plots together. And it is totally fucking hilarious, especially if you have lived in Europe for a long time and know the truth underneath the crazy exaggerations.

Non-stop nudity. I expect the DVD will have even more.

(These are not very good quality. Movie still in theaters, not yet on home media. The actual DVD or theatrical print will be in color, and none of these scenes will appear in B&W)

• Jessica Boehrs (1, 2)
• Edita Deveroux and Petra Tomankova (1, 2, 3)
• Molly Schade (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
• beach extras (1, 2, 3, 4)
• sex club extras (1, 2, 3, 4) (every one of these girls has a last name ending in -ova. Most of the European filming was in Prague, although Amsterdam played itself, and there were also location shoots in Germany)

C+. Highly recommended, if your type of movie. A hybrid between Seinfeld and American Pie, but far raunchier than either.

• Kerry promises Pennsylvania 433,000 new jobs. He also promised an additional 13 zillion kajillion dollars to those who don't get any of the new jobs.
  • For the record, Pennsylvania would reach full employment (estimated at 2% unemployment) with about 200,000 new jobs. In order to reach the theoretically unattainable 0% unemployment, they would need 320,000 jobs, so if Kerry creates 433,000 jobs for them, they would have an unemployment rate of about minus 2%, and would need some people to work several jobs (and/or significant immigration from surrounding states).
  • At least he didn't promise 433,000 new jobs to Wyoming, which would have required each and every member of the work force to work about two and a half jobs. At least that would keep them out of mischief.
• Turkmenistan's president has told his people to shun traditional false gold teeth in favor of white ones, the latest eccentric command after moves to ban beards, ballet and circuses. Hey, nothin' wrong with that. I'm with him 100% so far, as long as mimes are covered under either circuses or ballet. The next steps should be to ban house cats and metrosexuals.

MOVIE REVIEWS:

Here are the latest movie reviews available at scoopy.com.

• The yellow asterisks indicate that I wrote the review, and am deluded into thinking it includes humor.
• 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.
• A blue asterisk indicates the review is written by Tuna (or Junior or Brainscan, or somebody else besides me)
• If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.

Words from Scoop.

Victoria Abril

• One of the queenpins of international nudity (on screen and off - she doesn't wear a lot of clothing in public, either!), here is Miss Abril in Tie Me Up, which Tuna and I both consider to be a must-see film from Almodovar. Bizarre, politically incorrect, intriguing, and one of the most beautifully photographed and art-directed films we have ever seen or captured. (.avi version,  .wmv version).

• Here she is in French Twist. (.avi version,  .wmv version). Long download, but lots o' nudity.

• Here she is again in French Twist, this time with Josiane Balasko in some lesbotronic activity. (.avi version,  .wmv version).

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 .wmvversions 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.

"Stealing Candy"
Low-budget doesn't always mean bad, and this 2002 direct-to-video effort is better than you might expect. While it has some nudity, it also has a decent plot and competent acting, so it rises above being simply a sexplotation film. In fact, the nudity and sex are minimal and tasteful, and simply required by the plot.

Three ex-cons devise the ultimate safe score kidnap a popular actress and make millions by forcing her to have live sex on the Internet. Things don't go as planned, of course, and some neat plot twists lead to an interesting ending. Decent enough to be worth a watch.

NAKED POP SINGER NEWS ROUND-UP
Taste Malfunction - Alanis Morissette hosted the Juno Awards, Canada's annual music awards, where she pulled a stunt to protest U.S. "censorship" sparked by Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction." Alanis dropped her gown and stood onstage in a skin-tight body stocking with cartoonishly fake nipples and pubic hair. She declared that there's "lots of fear" in the US, but she was proud to be "in a land where we still think the human body is beautiful and we're not afraid of the female breast."
