Today
  • This from the wire services: the country of Finland wants to ban crossbows to combat rowdy drunks. Damn, just when I was going to go to Helsinki for my biannual vodka and crossbow bender. Luckily there's still Texas.
    • The Realist
  • The Realist did, as promised, check in with some vidcaps from The Faculty. I'm sorry to say that if you rent the movie you won't actually see anything resembling this scene with Laura Harris. He's doctored the light so much, that this is somewhere in the borderline between fake and real. She looks pretty good, though.
  • Here's the scene in untreated natural light, as it appears on the tape.
  • Here's a frame somewhere halfway in between.
  • Here's the rear view in slightly enhanced light
  • For your purists and masochists, here's the original lighting.
  • Here's the side view, enhanced
  • side view, original lighting
  • .. here's Bebe Neuwirth, from the same movie. She didn't get naked, but I found this beaver shot very erotic.
  • A strange combination of films for The Realist today. The Faculty and The English Patient. With the possible exception of Chariots of Fire beating Raiders, this must have been the most controversial pick ever for best picture. Nobody ever gives this thing seven out of ten. It's either ten ("a breathtaking and moving cinema experience"), or one ("the most boring movie ever made, the only movie that seems to last longer than the events it portrays"). Take your pick. Seinfeld devoted an entire episode to this conflict, as Mr Peterman insisted that this movie taught him what love is, while Elaine was desperate to leave the theater. I thought it was a good movie, but not good enough to be the best of any year. I love the general attitude it portrays, namely that Europeans were having a perfectly honorable and memorable war, until those stupid Yanks came along and spoiled everything by winning it. The other thing that struck me kinda funny was that it took the Allies a hell of a long time to figure out that Fiennes (whose character was actually Hungarian, not English) might be a spy. Seems like they must have had a reference book along somewhere and could have looked up to see which side Hungary was allied to. If he wasn't a spy, he was a traitor, which really wouldn't make him any more trustworthy, would it? Anyway, here is Juliette Binoche as the nurse who tended to The Patient
  • and here is Kristin Scott Thomas, as the woman who inspired his love, showing all the goodies in this scene

    • AP
  • AP's major project today is Petra Scharbach in that immortal romance, "Tage Der Lust". The title isn't quite as lurid in German as it might sound to your ears. It just means "Days of Pleasure", but there's plenty of lust in it, in both the English and German sense. AP told me that he made a conscious effort to reduce the size of his collages this time.
  • Petra Scharbach, "Tage Der Lust". For a sorta-porn movie, it has some fairly striking images.

  • Gaby Gottschalk in Die Suende der Engel
  • Madalina Ray in a porn flick (slightly censored!)
  • More of Miss Ray
    • Crow, back from the Roxbury.
  • Amazingly, Crow was able to recover from A Night at the Roxbury in time to do today's contribution. It's amazing what modern medicine can accomplish. Today he capped The Great American Bash, and here's Gorgeous George.

  • Madusa. What is the deal on Macho Man? Is he going for the trophy for oldest wrestler ever. (Actually, he's 46. Wasn't Bobo Brazil still wrestling into his sixties?) Every once in a while you run into celebs in your life, but somehow I've defied all the odds and run into Macho Man on three separate occasions, none of them related to wrestling, separated by nearly 25 years of time. The first time I met him was in a restaurant in western Florida in 1971, where I was an up-and-coming youngish exec running that territory, and Randy was an 18 year old kid breaking in to minor league baseball, weighing about 180 pounds (82 kilos), under the name of Randy Mario Poffo. His dad was wrestler Angelo Poffo, and his brother wrestled as Leapin' Lanny Poffo. Randy was a pretty good ballplayer when I saw him, an outfielder/catcher with some good foot speed, but not quite enough talent to make it to the major league level. I love baseball, played a lot myself, had seen Randy play, recognized him, and chatted him up for a few minutes. (The local sports pages had written about him because he had a famous dad.) I met him a second time at a c-store convention where he was hawking Slim Jims, and a third time in a strip club in Atlanta sometime in the mid 90's.
  • Enough memories. Here's a new tootsie named Miss Madness 1999

    • Master Bagger.
  • While the academy was awarding The English Frigging Patient, they were unjustly snubbing Lorissa McComas in Backdoor. This is another one of those little movies that was supposed to be made for a private showing to a rich guy. Most of the girls appear in harder-than-usual poses, and some of the girls got upset when the explicit scenes started appearing in wider distribution. Anyway, Bagger has staked this stuff out as his unique material, and he's starting to churn out the results. Tell ya what, Bagger did a helluva job, considering these are basically home camcorder shots. These caps almost have the rich look of a real movie, and none of that tedious, thoughtful dialogue to sit through like in The English Patient.

    • More good movies 'n stuff.
  • Here are three frames from Sex and the City. Kim Cattrall's character showed the goodies, but Kim's face doesn't appear in the same frame as the bosom. here's Kim's face and maybe a little titillation
  • Here's one of the hooters

  • Sheryl Lee in Vampires. Gorgeous collage from Norman Bates.
  • Snowblind did this collage of Jennifer Lopez on the Blockbuster Awards, showing lots of flesh, but no real nudity, I don't think.
