Deadwood
Season Three
I normally cover the entire season at once, but in this case I screwed up.
I picked up four disks at Blockbuster, and it turns out there are five, and I missed the last two
episodes, which include the famous nude scene from Paula Malcolmson (she gets
naked to distract Hearst, then shoots him), and a nice topless scene from
Sarah Pacelli. I'll try to get those tomorrow, along with the details and
collages. For now, here are the videos from episodes 1-10.
Personally, I think the series went on after it ran out of ideas. By the
end it had plenty of atmosphere, but not much else. Of course, it was
semi-historical, so it had to follow reality, and reality wasn't as
interesting after Hickok died and the town became more civilized.
- Episode 2, Robin Weigert as
Calamity Jane, with a brief hint of bush! (For a completely different
look at Weigert, see Tuna's captures from The Gopd German.)
- Episode 4: Cynthia
Ettinger as a whore. The very fleshy Ettinger can also be seen in Tuna's
captures from Carnivale
- Episode 5: Whore. Frankly, this
is WAY more flesh than I really care to see from a very fleshy and grossly
overweight woman. I'm not sure who it is. This woman has the same body as
Cynthia Ettinger, but the script seems to indicate that it is a different
person. I couldn't say for sure, so I changed my ID from Ettinger to
"whore." It may be she, but I think not.
- Episode 7: Weigert again.

Walnut Creek
Walnut Creek (1996) is yet another couples erotic thriller on a dual region
DVD
As the film opens, a woman issues a verbal put-down to some punks that want
to pick her up, and is about to be beaten for her trouble when a very tough
hombre rescues her.
Cut to different characters, three years later. The Styles family has lots of
advantages, including the huge Walnut Creek Ranch and a successful development
business, but everything is not rosy. David Christensen and wife Rochelle
Swanson have grown apart, largely due to his tendency to be a workaholic.
Daughter Renee Weldon doesn't like her stepmother, and makes no bones about it.
She seems to be an equal opportunity hater, except when it comes to the hired
hand, Alton Butler.
It is into this mix that the woman from the opening scene arrives as the new
ranch manager. It seems that the ranch has always been a tax write-off, but now
they need it in the black, and Kate Rodger, with the perfect resume, has
been hired. This resume seems unlikely from someone who was a heroin junky
living on the streets only three years before. We fairly quickly learn that the
nasty man who saved her has groomed her for this job because Styles once put him
in jail with some testimony. Kate's assignment is to get dirt on Mr. Styles so
her benefactor can crush him and his new business venture. Rodger soon
discovers that she likes Walnut Creek, and likes Mr. Styles, so she pursues her
own personal agenda, but there are many loose ends to tie up, like her
benefactor, her intended's wife, the hired hand, and the daughter.
IMDb readers say 4.1 with only 40 votes. This is an adequate couples erotica
- - moderately erotic;
barely thrilling - made more desirable by the nude appearance of Kate Rodger, veteran of General
Hospital and others.
This is a C.
- Regions one and four
- 4/3 Fullscreen
- English Stereo Dolby
- Optional Spanish Subtitles
- English trailer
- Spanish text synopsis
- Behind the scenes special (5 minutes)
Purchase info from the image above.
Rochelle Swanson shows breasts and buns, as do Renee Weldon and Jacqueline
Lovell as a masseuse. Kate Rodger does full frontal and rear nudity.

The Comedy Wire
Comments in yellow...
A coalition of US government watchdog groups reported that federal farm
subsidy money is going to some surprising people who apparently own rural land.
For instance, David Letterman got $8,000
in farm subsidies, but gave it to charity. One real sheep farmer got only $500,
which was far less than went to the estate of long-dead comedian Jack Benny. And
NBA star Scotty Pippen got $289,000 in taxpayer farm subsidies.
* I think that's a good idea, paying NBA players not to
plant their seed.
* It's ironic because the only celebrity who actually grows his own crop is
Willie Nelson, and the government took money away from him.
Staten Island, New York, borough president James Molinaro called for a boycott
of 5 Boroughs Ice Cream, which sells ice creams inspired by New York
neighborhoods, such as "South Bronx Cha Cha Chocolate" and "Upper East Side Rich
White Vanilla." Molinaro is angry about "Staten Island Landfill," which is
vanilla with crunchy brownie chunks and cherries. He calls it an ignorant
insult to the "greenest, cleanest and safest" borough. He suggested an
alternate name: "Ferry Berry," after the Staten Island Ferry. But most
customers say they don't care, as long as "Staten Island Landfill" tastes good.
One said it's not like he expects to find "a syringe or a rubber boot in there."
* It's not THAT authentic.
* It's not as bad as "Grand Central Station Piss...tachio." Or "Soho Chunky
Junkie."
* Besides, they already have a "Fairy Berry;" it's named after
Greenwich Village.
Having quit "The Apprentice," Donald Trump is teaming up with Fox for a new
reality show called "Lady or a Tramp." Based on the British show "Ladette to
Lady," it will follow a group of slutty party girls who are sent to a strict
charm school to learn how to behave like debutantes. They have to wear tweeds
and pearls, and learn flower arranging and needlework and how to host a tea
party instead of a kegger. Trump might even appear occasionally to evaluate the
girls' progress. He said he's tired of TV glamorizing out-of-control tarts, so
he wants to do something about it.
* By glamorizing out-of-control tarts.
Two Florida women are suing "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis, accusing him
of giving them booze, coercing them into exposing themselves and engaging in
sexual activities, then releasing it on video without their consent
* They never imagined that when the "Girls Gone Wild"
producer taped them having naked, drunken sex, he planned to SELL it!
A multi-million dollar Broadway musical version of the Olivia Newton-John
roller-disco movie "Xanadu" postponed its opening after one of the stars injured
his foot
* After being temporarily blinded by sequins
* And his understudy wasn't gay enough
* Also, after the backers suddenly realized they'd
invested millions in a stage musical of "Xanadu."
