  • There are 177 new pictures added to existing volumes in sections D, E, F, and G of the Encyclopedia. Today's and yesterday's updates are highlighted in yellow.

 

A mystery revisited:

Some people told me that this link didn't work yesterday. Here again, in reasonably nice quality, is a zipped .avi of the "thongless" (maybe?)  version of the Malin Akerman dressing scene in Comeback. (8 meg)

One reader wrote in to say he thinks she is actually wearing the thong in this video, but the resolution isn't sufficient to show it without a detailed inspection. Maybe so. I guess that makes more sense than any other explanation I've heard.

 

Various:

  • Venus Williams bouncing around and lookin' nippy in a nice quality zipped .avi of the finals at Wimbledon. 6 meg
  • Sienna Miller, Jude Law's main squeeze, in Layer Cake. Zipped .wmv - about 3 meg. This comes to Region 1 DVD in late August.
  • Kelly McDonald and Obi-Wan in Trainspotting. Zipped .wmv - about 4 meg
  • Kathleen Quinlan in I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. Zipped .wmv - about 5 meg

Five clips and the trailer from The Edukators

  • Jan, Peter and Jule are living out their rebellious youth. They are united by their passion to change the state of the world. Jan and Peter become "The Edukators," mysterious perpetrators who non-violently warn the local rich their "days of plenty are numbered." Complications follow when vulnerable Jule ends up falling for both young men. Reckless choices result in danger. An operation gone wrong and what was never intended to be a kidnapping brings the three young idealists face-to-face with the values of the generation in power
  • "Bande-annonce" means "trailer"; "passer l'intro" is obvious, but in case it doesn't register, it means "skip the intro"

The trailer for The Warrior

  • Winner of the BAFTA Award for Best British Film, "The Warrior" is the tale of a local enforcer for a rich Indian warlord who renounces his life of violence and then becomes the prey of his murderous former colleagues. The film follows the hero's journey from the deserts of Rajasthan through the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. Asif Kapadia, winner of the BAFTA for Most Promising Newcomer, makes his directorial debut with this visually captivating, highly acclaimed production.


 

 

The trailer for Waiting

The trailer for The Exorcism of Emily Rose

  • "In an extremely rare decision, the Catholic Church officially recognized the demonic possession of a 19 year-old college freshman. Told in terrifying flashbacks, 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' chronicles the haunting trial of the priest accused of negligence resulting in the death of the young girl believed to be possessed. Inspired by true events, the film stars Laura Linney as the lawyer who takes on the task of defending the priest (Tom Wilkinson) who performed the controversial exorcism."

  • "And please, don't even get me started about the armchair quarterbacking. They want you to kill crusaders, but only enough that the other ones go home, I guess so they can film the survivors for a weepy poignant Vietnam documentary. Oh yeah, great plan, Field Marshall Von Sundance. I'm right on it, just as soon I FIND A PLACE WHERE I CAN GET TWO FUCKING HOURS OF BOMB-FREE SLEEP

This week's movies: Fantastic Four - no reviews. Actually, there are exactly two reviews. One compares it unfavorably to the never-released Corman version, and the other damns with faint praise, saying it is not as bad as Daredevil. Oh-oh!!
 

 

Dad's birthday coming up? Consider The Lapjuicer
 

 

A Cincinnati man has been charged with public indecency for exposing his breasts. One must concede that his arrest is a fair, impartial application of a very silly law. Why DO we have laws that prevent women from showing their breasts? We should have laws forbidding women from covering them! Except in certain cases. I'll let Rosie O'Donnell have a waiver.

A featurette about Poseidon

  • "When a rogue wave capsizes a luxury cruise ship in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, a small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in a battle for their lives. As the unstable vessel rapidly floods with water, they face unimaginable odds and life-altering decisions in their desperate fight to the surface."
  • This film violates one of the most important of the Scoopian Unities of Time and Place and Nudity 'n Shit. I've theorized before that there is only one kind of movie which should be remade: a pretty good movie that should have been great. Even narrowing the criteria in that way can produce total disasters like Rollerball, but at least it is a good starting point. Having said that, and even admitting that other criteria may be valid, it is hard for me to envision any good reason to remake The Poseidon Adventure, unless it involves Jessica Alba and Salma Hayek naked.
  • The film also violates another, more obscure section of the Scoopian Unities. It has a sinking ship, and no Billy Zane.
  • This is being directed by the guy who did Das Boot. I guess he's really into "rogue waves", because he also directed The Perfect Storm.


 

 

New Music that doesn't fit anywhere: the primeTime sublime Community Orchestra

Human footprints discovered beside an ancient Mexican lake have been dated to 40,000 years ago. If the finding survives the controversy it is bound to stir up, it means that humans must have moved into the New World at least 30,000 years earlier than previously thought, and at least a few months before the beginning of Cher's farewell tour.

Vince Vaughn has dismissed reports that he is "dating" Jennifer Aniston.

  • "There's no dating, per se," said the comedy star, "I'm just tappin' that sweet ass. I mean I'm pummelin' that poontang in ways and places Brad Pitt never dreamed of. That girl is gettin' it all: Dirty Sanchez, Cleveland Steamer, Baltimore Bottom, Louisiana Leapfrog, Oakland Auger, Atlanta Asshat, Rear-view Mirror, Head Adair, the ol' Kool-Aid Kids - even the highly dreaded Crazy Straws."
  • Sigh, what he really said was so-o-o-o boring.



 

 

Brad Pitt eyed for Van Gogh biopic. According to the New York Post, Ron Howard and Brian Glazer want Pitt to play the lead role in the movie which will have "a new angle." Yeah, I'd say having Van Gogh be a buffed-up hunk would be a new angle. Oh, that Van Gogh! In between the religious crises and the flirtations with insanity and the whole wacky self-mutilation thing, he never missed a chance to work on his abs or score with the hot chicks!

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.

'Caps and comments by Hankster:
 
For today we took the old Time Machine back to 1981 and a visit to a good movie: "Body Heat" with Kathleen Turner. (1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) (Hank's numbering)
 
Kathleen made a name for herself in this movie with a sultry sexy performance that is hard to top by any mainstream actress. Did she show a lot? No. But the woman just oozes sex appeal with gorgeous legs, hot and sweaty small tits with nipples like pencil erasers and a great ass. Go back and watch this one again, it has held up well with time.
 

Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams in My Name is Tanino

I had no idea this existed until today. Here is the star of The Notebook in an Italian coming-of-age film called My Name is Tanino. The film was entered at Venice in 2002, then had a brief theatrical release in Italy, then ... ???? Based on the score and comments at IMDb, it is a pretty good flick, and McAdams showed some flesh, so you'd think someone would rush this to DVD.

Rachel McAdams in The Notebook Very brief and very dark, but really topless, if only for a moment.

McAdams will be seen next week in The Wedding Crashers. There have been rumors that she'll do some nudity in that film as well, but I have not seen that confirmed by anyone who has seen the final version of that film.

I think this is the best version available of the Ur-Diva in Owl and the Pussycat. If you rent this from your video store, you'll find that the nudity has been digitally blurred.
