Alice in Wonderland (1976) (day two). Alice is taken by the white rabbit to meet the Mad Hatter, who proudly displays is penis length on his hat. He gives her a lesson in sucking, but they rush to the aid of Humpty Dumpty. He had a great fall, and sprained a ball, and that's not all. His ding-a-ling doesn't work either. They call in the singing nurses, who strip in time to a rousing song, "He can't get his ding-a-ling up," then they try a little 69, but he is not fazed. Then Alice tries her new found oral skills on him with more success.

Next Alice meets Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee, who cavort mostly naked all day and have sex together. They decide to demonstrate just how for Alice, and she pays close attention. Then she meets the king, and finally the queen, who wants her head -- not cut off, but buried in her snatch. The queen cums, and Alice goes, waking up back in the library.

Tweedle-dum is played by Sue Tsengoles, the queen is played by Juliet Graham, and the nurses aren't identified. All show everything, including hard core sex acts. This is arguably the best film ever made that is also a hard core adult film. Even in the R version, it was well liked by both men and women, showing that the 10 hard core minutes are not necessary to the enjoyment of the film. IMDb readers have this at 5.6 of 10, but IMDb has applied the double secret formula here. The mean score is 7.5 and 33% of voters gave it a ten. The film is out of print, although Amazon has a few used copies in the $50.00 price range, however, there is good news. I found someone who has ripped this to DVD, and will sell it for under $20.00. If anyone would like contact info, send me a private Email. The quality is no better or worse than any VHS copy I have seen. In other words, it is not very good. I don't expect to ever see a cleaner version. On the other hand, at least you can stop the action and see every frame, etc, making it a much better idea than a $50.00 used VHS copy.

I have said in the past that C+ was the highest score possible for a hard or soft core film, but I am giving this one a B-. It did very well with people who usually do not like adult films due to the plentiful humor and clever parody of the Lewis Carol classic. I will caution that, if you are a big fan of modern porn, this will be far too tame for your tastes.

• Cheney's energy task force case: A Vision of Power. I believe that this essay is exactly correct, and gets right to the heart of the matter. It states that there are three possible reasons why the administration is defending its right to privacy in this matter. (1) there is a smoking gun hidden in the records (2) the records will show the cozy relationship between the administration and big oil (3) the executive is acting on principle.
  • The essay goes on to state that, contrary to what you are probably thinking at the moment, it is not the first two but the third one that should frighten you.
  • After all, what could that principle be? There is no question of separation of powers (it is about public access, not Congressional access), and there is no question of national security (there are no revelations that could aid America's enemies), so the only possible principle to be defended is the right of the President and his advisors to act as they please, and to take secret counsel, with the public having no right to know what they are doing.
  • Think of the implications of that. Assume for a moment that Dick Cheney has done something very awful in those proceedings, whatever it might be. Probably not true, but assume it as a hypothetical. If he is allowed to keep that info from the American public on the grounds of secrecy and confidentiality alone, it means that any elected official at a high enough level can do any dirty deal he pleases, and can never be caught, because the American public has no right to know about those proceedings. Do you believe that? I surely don't, and I don't believe Madison and Jefferson would have either.

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.

• You can't go wrong with Jennifer Connelly in Of Love and Shadows (.avi, .wmv)

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.

The Corruptor (1999) is one of those white-man-out-of-his-element cop movies. Everyone does them. Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes, Danny Glover and that Aussie dude with the Christ complex, and now Mark Wahlberg. Someday, someone is going to explain what Wahlberg is doing in movies, but until then all of them... this one in particular... completely evade me.

Marky Mark starts out all clean and virtuous as he investigates Asian smugglers of Asian products and Asian women. One slip and down the greased pole of illicit sex and money he goes. If I cared a rat's ass about his character I would have been interested. And if the action sequences had anything resembling pace and tension, I would have liked watching it. And if a whole lot more gals would have gotten nekkid and done delightfully risque things, I would have liked it even more. But none of the above is true. An IMDb rating of 5.5 is just fine, then, because that's a failing grade, which is appropriate for a failed movie.

A few women go topless. Alice Poon gives the Markster a massage after she removes her top. You'll remember Alice as the camerawoman from Crash. Am I the only one who thinks a powdered, citrus-flavored breakfast drink consumed by astronauts has seriously screwed up by not hiring her as its spoke person? They could not-so-subtly associate the product with sex, all the while appearing so very innocent. "But it's her real name."

And then some nameless Asian sex workers show off their knockers as the cops round them up. That's it. Nuthin else to look at.

The bottom line here is one of confusion. I cannot determine at whom this movie was targeted and I cannot imagine who in his right mind would watch it... unless he wanted to capture some images of nekkid Asian women. Maybe then.

"FRIENDS" FINALE PULLS RECORD AD DOLLARS
Best Friends Money Can Buy - Next week's final episode of "Friends" is expected to draw up to 50 million viewers, and NBC is cashing in by charging $2 million for a 30-second commercial. That's a sitcom record: in today's dollars, an ad during the finale of "MASH" would cost $840,000, and that drew 106 million viewers. But some advertisers are willing to pay it: "Friends" has already sold ad time to GE, Allstate and Anheuser-Busch.
