Junior is in Kentucky or some such place, and I , Uncle Scoopy,
am your EmCee for a while.
Stuff
I followed some links to some other links and ended up (don't
ask) on the
official list of Catholic Patron Saints. Here are some you may enjoy:
The Patron Saint
of: |
is: |
Peruvian Television |
St. Martin de Porres |
Dog Bites |
St. Ubald |
Vinegar makers |
St. Vincent of Saragossa |
Dance |
St. Vitus |
Convenience store employees |
St. Eloi |
Hemorrhoid Sufferers |
St. Fiacre |
Venereal Disease |
St. Fiacre |
The Bolivian Navy |
Our Lady of the Copacabana |
I didn't make any of those up. You can find the list
here. The one that puzzles
the hell out of me is the patron saint of the Bolivian Navy. Not only can I not figure out why they need a
patron saint, but if you look at a map, you will join me in wondering exactly
why Bolivia needs a navy. I am guessing that of all the world's navies, they
have the lowest incidence of seasickness.
Hey, I guess that means that the patron saint is
doing her job!
Someday I am going to have to read the hagiography of St Fiacre
to see how he got the job as patron saint of all Naughty Bits. Is that
pronounced "Saint Fucker"?
Hey, Scoop
"This letter is actually for Brainscan
Meg Foster had some other nudity in the 1978 movie "A Different Story" with
Perry King. They play lesbian and gay roommates who marry to keep him in the
country. Look for the scene when they get drunk and celebrate his birthday.
The nudity is breasts only as I recall, and is brief.
She also appeared with her "Adam at 6 A.M." co-star [Michael Douglas], when she
was on his TV show "The Streets of San Francisco" (once). And on a topical
note she was also on "Baretta" a couple of times."

which is dedicated to chanteuses.
Not only them, Howard, but female singers as well.
If that reference is obscure for you, it is a word game that Howard Cosell
and Dandy Don Meredith used to play on Monday Night Football. Here is a typical
exchange:
Howard: that touchdown drive was inexorable.
Dandy: not only that Howard, but the defense couldn't seem to stop it.
- Courtney Love at various sizes. At her max, she was overweight with large
implants. Lately, she is quite slim and had her saline implants removed. I
never thought I'd say it, but she looks pretty good. (1,

- Mica Paris. R&B singer who is better known in the UK, where she's had
four albums sell fairly well. (1,

- Corey Parks of Nashville Pussy. She's 6'3' and street tough, so you can
bet I have only very complimentary things to say. (1,

- Texas Terri. A true part of our Texas heritage, to go with BBQ, Willie
Nelson, and the Alamo. OK, I don't really know who the hell she is, but she's
pretty scary, so I won't give her any lip, especially since her name
indicates that she may live nearby. I guess you can figure it out at
texasterri.com. (1,

- Nikka Costa (1,

godfather is the ultimate godfather - Frank Sinatra himself.
- Jennifer Young, daughter of,
Gig Young, the original Waco Kid in
Blazing Saddles (he
lasted one day of filming - see the story in the
Blazing Saddles
review).
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 I inexplicably determined
there might be something of interest.
- A blue asterisk indicates the review is written by Tuna (or Lawdog or
Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or somebody else besides me)
- If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.

"Cruel and Unusual"
Cruel and Unusual (2001) is a direct to vid Canadian film which has been
released in Australia and the US. IMDB, for some unaccountable reason, has
decided to call it Watchtower. This thriller has absolutely no tension or
suspense, but is full of gorgeous scenics of Vancouver, BC. In scene one, we see
Tom Berenger kill Elizabeth Carol Savenkoff, so, right off, we know he is a
killer. In scene two, we see him kill a man who picked him up hitchhiking with
the same knife to the heart method he used on the woman. We now know he is a
serial killer who befriends his victims, then puts them out of their misery.
We are then introduced to a lovelorn Rachel Hayward and her younger brother, who
is in trouble with the law, and will be half of a lighthouse crew for the year
to avoid jail. The kid has an attitude and a poor self-image. Of course, the
murdered man was to be his partner at the lighthouse, and Berenger takes the
man's place. A clever three-year-old could predict the plot from here, and he
would be exactly right. Savenkoff, who is better known as a voice actress, shows
breasts in a shower scene, then again in bed with Berenger just before he kills
her. Hayward shows breasts in several very dark sex scenes with Berenger.
Not enough have seen this for a score, and the only review I was able to find
agreed completely with me. The DVD transfer is good, the sound track is also
nice, and the scenics are nearly worth the rental price, but a thriller with no
thrills, no action, and no suspense is about as useful as a basketball court
with no baskets. D+.

"Stripes"
Stripes (1981) is one of my favorite Bill Murray comedies, and has a lot of
nudity, so this was an enjoyable day. Bill Murray and best bud Harold Ramis are
going nowhere fast in life, and Murray talks Ramis into joining the Army with
him. They are not ideal recruits in boot camp, and are in an entire company of
equally inept would-be soldiers. They constantly run afoul of their training
Sergeant, Warren Oates, but are befriended by female MPs P.J. Soles and Sean
Young. They pull off a precision drill at graduation, are the platoon is picked
for a choice assignment in Italy with an RV conversion, AKA Urban Assault
Vehicle. Through a comedy of errors, they end up behind the Soviet curtain.
There are many laugh-out-loud situations, and great performances from the likes
of John Candy, John Larroquette and Judge Reinhold. Early in the film, Murray's
then-girlfriend Roberta Leighton is seen in nothing but panties changing
clothes, just before she leaves him. We see the WACs shower room, with several
women naked including full-frontal, and lots of topless women in a club where
John Candy takes on most of them in a mud wrestling contest.
IMDB readers have it at 6.8 of 10, a very good score for a comedy. US gross was
$83.4m against a $10m budget. There is a sanitized TV version without the
nudity. Comedy doesn't get a lot better than this, although it will mean more to
someone who has been through basic training. It is equally popular with men and
women, and voting is even for all ages at IMDB. I give this a B-, as even those
who prefer drama or action will probably enjoy this one.

I'm not sure if this is your cup of tea or not, but I've attached several
photos of Sherry Lynne White that I recently shot for our sites. She is
well known among Playboy enthusiasts and has established a promising
acting and modeling career. This is the write up if you want to use it.
"For those Funhouse readers not familiar with her, Sherry Lynne White was
featured in a Playboy Magazine pictorial in Sept of 2000 while she was still in
the US Navy, has appeared in numerous TV shows including Baywatch Hawaii and
Fantasy Island and done many national commercials including for Miller Beer and
Navy. These are her first non-Playboy nudes ever shot and I did these multiple
images with direct permission from the sites."

Joan
Collins

The venerable actress in 1978's "Fearless". Although Joan is
English, she hasn't done much Shakespeare. Oh, yeah, she always says "I did
Shakespeare", but she ain't talking about acting in his plays. In the same
sense, she also did Chaucer, Homer, Anthony Newley, and nine of Suetonius's
Twelve Caesars, including three at once.
