The Grotesque
The Grotesque (1995), also known as Gentlemen Don't Eat Poets and Grave
Indiscretion, is a Gothic dark comedy/mystery.
Paleontologist Sir Hugo Coal (Alan Bates), his adult daughter (Lena Headey)
and his American wife (Theresa Russell) live together in a stately old country
mansion. Also living on the premises is George (Jim Carter), who was with Sir
Hugo on his bone collecting expeditions, and now serves as his hog-keeper and
butcher. His daughter's young man - a wannabee poet- arrives, much to Sir Alan's
dismay, and a new butler (Sting) and cook (Trudie Styler, aka Mrs. Sting) also
arrive.
The wife is the one with the money, and old Sir Hugo is far more interested
in his paleontology than any of his wife's body parts, so she makes an
attractive target for seduction by Sting. When Sting learns that Sir Hugo is
set against the poet, he also seduces him - and the young man goes missing.
The poet's mother arrives on the scene to help with the investigation, and a
body is eventually found, with the flesh eaten by pigs, and the bones showing
lots of tooth marks. Sting then pushes Sir Hugo, who falls into a coma, and
the police arrest George the hog-keeper for the crime. What happens after that
is somewhat arguable due to an ambiguous ending.
The ending was disappointing, and the long process of getting there wasn't
much fun either. I did enjoy several of the characters, but the plot was not
at all engrossing. Not only that, but I am reasonably sure the butler did it.
The film does have one genuine plus. Theresa Russell was once close to
stardom, and she did full frontal nudity here which has rarely been seen
anywhere,
This is a low C-, but offers some very rare nudity, available only on a
Region 2 PAL DVD. If interested, click on this image:

Schulmädchen - Report 11.
Teil - Probieren
geht über Studieren
(Experimenting is more important than
studying.)
A group of experts gather around a radio show to tell some stories of
what's wrong with young people. The subjects range from a girl who accuses her teacher of molesting her to another girl who is forced into prostitution by blackmail.
Lots of nudity and a big headache for me, since the movie has no credits at all.
Finding who the girls were was a miracle, since some of the usual places that report nudity have all the names mixed up, but in the end I got all but one.
If anyone knows her name let me know and I'll put it on the caps.

Here are the video clips of Joanne
Whalley and Jemima Rooper in
Life Line, a new two-part supernatural love story from BBC. (Press
Release) There's no real nudity from Whalley (she's topless, but in a dark
scene with her chest pressed against the guy), but there is a fairly erotic if
overdressed sex
scene with Jemima, followed by a partial breast apres-sex (pictured right). |

European astronomers announced that they had discovered a planet that is more
similar to Earth than any known planet, which bolsters the chances of life
existing there. It's 20.5 light years away, and 1.5 times as big as Earth.
Most other planets are just massive balls of gas, but they believe this one has
a substantial atmosphere, possibly large amounts of water, a rocky core, gravity
twice that of Earth, and a temperature similar to ours. It is much closer to
its sun, which is smaller than ours, and its "year" is only 13 days long. One
of the discoverers said that "on the treasure map of the Universe, one would be
tempted to mark this planet with an X."
* We need to try sending someone there right away. I
suggest Sanjaya.
Wal-Mart, which is already offering $4 generic prescription drugs, announced
Tuesday that it will make deals with local hospitals to open health clinics
inside 400 stores. If it goes over well, they'll open 2,000 clinics. Wal-Mart
said they believe the clinics will draw consumers into their stores while also
providing something communities desperately need: affordable access to quality
health care.
* Within 50 feet of a bakery, a cigarette rack and a gun
counter.
One of the more ludicrous reactions to the VT shooting has been
reversed. Yale's Dean of Student Affairs Betty Trachtenberg told acting
students that they could not use prop weapons on stage; then agreed to let them
use weapons, but only if they were obviously fake, such as having King Henry V
brandish a purple plastic sword. After a wave of ridicule, administrators
reversed the policy Monday, although Trachtenberg criticized the drama students
for being more concerned with their own free speech and creativity than with how
they might be traumatizing the audience.
* Imagine those foolish kids thinking that a college
campus is a place for free speech and creativity!
* Also, after every death scene, the actors have to sit up and tell the
audience, "I'm not REALLY dead!"
