The Tulse Luper Suitcases, Part One:
You know how it is with fame. Some
people seem to get far more of it than they deserve, while
others get short-changed. In my opinion, Caroline Dhavernas
has been short-changed. She's gorgeous, talented, charming,
completely bi-lingual, comes from a show-biz family, and will get naked whenever
the role requires it. Maybe even when it doesn't. She came
within a hair's-breadth of the A-list with her series, Wonderfalls, which
got tremendous reviews and built a cult audience, but never
got high enough numbers to break through.
Maybe fame will still come to her.
Maybe not. In the meantime, we can smile ruefully that Paris
Hilton is known to all the world while Dhavernas is toting
her head shots around to auditions.
The Tulse Luper Suitcases is a typically complex,
convoluted, wildly imaginative, often surreal film from the
mind of filmdom's resident aesthete, Peter Greenaway.
Actually, it's several films, a TV series, some DVDs, a few
websites and God knows what else. Probably a breakfast bar
too, for all I know. It's too long to explain, and I've
already done so once, so
check it out here
if you really care about the details.
The key element for today: seven zipped
.avis of Dhavernas in various (and all) stages of undress. (1,

Sex and the Emperor (1994)
"Man qing jin gong qi an" is a HK Category III historical drama about a
young emperor who dies of syphilis. The story is narrated by a "half-eunuch."
You see, his father saved the castration expert's life, and wanted an heir, so
the official castrator only took one testicle. He is the favorite companion of
the young emperor, who is madly in love with a humble chambermaid named
Guilian (Yvonne Yung Hung). Meanwhile, the eunuch impregnates a different
chambermaid. The head eunuch senses that he is in political danger from the
friendship of the young emperor and the partial eunuch, so he manages to kill
the partial eunuch's pregnant girlfriend.
The queen mother has the emperor's favorite chambermaid sold to a
whorehouse, and then forces the emperor to marry a women with the proper
pedigree. Guilian refuses brothel work, even after expert training from Madame
Hongyi, played by Julie Lee. (Watch for an inspired scene where Julie Lee
demonstrates the 8 semi-devils to a new crop of working girls.) The emperor
figures out what happened to his lost love and starts sneaking into town,
trying to find her. At first, he only searches through the numerous
whorehouses in town, but he eventually begins sampling the wares, which is how
he contracts syphilis.
This is a C-. The narration is nearly constant, which makes it rather
talky but, even more important, requires lots of sub-titles. Since the
subtitles are burned in, the constant chatter of the narration gets in the way
of a lot of nudity! The video quality also leaves much to be desired.
IMDb lists this one, and rates it 5.2.
The sub-titles are good this time, with no glaring errors in translation.

More from "Sexy Movie."
Amber Ambrose in her only credited role at IMDb - and that's
a shame because I would really like to see more of this sexy girl.
Although she does show it all here, I guess she decided this career wasn't for
her.

Pat's comments in yellow...
Lena Sims Driskell, 79, of Atlanta, Georgia, is on trial for murder after she
allegedly shot her 85-year-old boyfriend for dumping her for another woman.
Police say when they arrived at their retirement home, Driskell was waving the
gun and shouting, "I did it, and I'd do it again!" But she may have found a
unique way out. Jury selection began Monday, and her lawyer said it's the
youngest jury pool she's ever seen, with most of them looking under 30, young
enough to be Driskell's great-grandchildren. She argued that they aren't old
enough to be a jury of Driskell's peers, so her rights
are being denied. And the legal age to be exempt from a jury is 70.
* They'll have to entice seniors to volunteer for jury
duty by offering them free "Matlock" on the hotel TVs.
* She demands a jury of "peers," which in this case is pronounced with two
syllables - jurors so old, they constantly have
to pee.

Sewer Overflow"
* Well, there go my vacation plans! |
