We talked about this movie ages ago. This film clip from the Region 2 DVD is in response to a reader request. (Apparently the Region 1 DVD has hard-coded subtitles.)

Leelee Sobieski stark naked. Zipped .wmv It came out great. 640x360. This may be worth a look even if you already have the clip.

• Supreme Court allows prosecution of medical marijuana users.
  • Contrary to the common misunderstanding floating around the internet, this was the work of the liberal members of the court. The liberals voted 4-0 in favor of the ruling. The conservatives voted 3-2 against. The very conservative Justice Thomas wrote in his DISSENT exactly what the conservatives and libertarians(including me) believe:
    "Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything—and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers."
  • What should happen is this: Congress should pass a law exempting the medical use of marijuana from Federal control. Then the states would be free to allow it or not allow it. That would make medical marijuana just like medical use morphine which (to my admittedly limited knowledge) causes no problems of any significance.
  • Here is the full text of the opinion in .pdf format.
  • I have a barometer for reviewing the Supreme Court's decisions. While eight members are essentially partisans who look for tenuous legal justifications to support their pre-conceived notions, Judge Souter's decisions can always be counted on to be his best possible impartial analysis of the applicable law. (Hey, an honest man can sneak into government once in a while. It isn't likely, but it can happen.) At any rate, Souter did not write a separate opinion on this case, but he did side with the majority, which leads me to believe that it is the correct legal opinion, irrespective of how I feel about it. As the court pointed out, Congress can resolve the controversy (if it chooses) by passing a bill allowing the medical use of marijuana.

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.

Maui Heat (1996) is a made for cable softcore. A host of naked heffers head to Maui to shoot a swimsuit edition cover, and have sex with as many men as possible. Naked women include Kim Yates, Kimberly Dawson, Kimberly Rowe, Katelin Brennan and Teresa Langly. There is also a pecker contest between Michael Andercon and  T.R. Smith, who also do all of the sport humping.

There really isn't much more to it than that.

IMDb readers wisely have this at 3.5. While there is no shortage of beaver and pickle, the sex scenes, for the most part, are not especially believable, and fail to generate heat. The entire film is intercut with extreme sports, Maui style, giving a very MTV-like feeling to the editing. Character development is nearly non-existent.

This is a D.

BBC says: "A low-key drama about faith-healing set inside a women's prison, In Your Hands has been made according to the back-to-basics principles of Lars Von Trier's Dogme 95 movement. "

This is a memorable film written by Woody Allen and starring Woody, Peter O'Toole, and Peter Sellers. Actually, that description makes it sound better than it actually is.

Katie's great topless scene in this movie was the subject of a funny exchange of dialogue in another movie, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. One stoner asks, "how was that Kate Holmes topless scene?" His bud responds, "You know the holocaust? The opposite of that."
