Film clips: Connelly Mania, Part 2 of 3:
- All of Jen's nudity from Inventing the Abbots. Two different
short scenes, running consecutively. (Movie
House Review - we found it to be a soap opera, competently
made, but with a story of no special merit) ... (Zipped
.wmv).
- All of Jen's nudity - basically four separate parts of the
film - from Mulholland Falls. (Movie
House Review - we both like this movie, a Chinatown
wannabe. How can you not like a film that gets Connelly naked in
the opening credits?). It starts with a very hot but brief B&W scene which is shown in two parts.
She's with Malkovich in that scene. The
third part is her scene with Nolte as remembered in his dreams,
in soft-focus,
sepia tone, and only a brief
nipple-peek. The final part is B&W again, as Nolte grabs
Connelly's massive chest from behind. ... (Zipped
.wmv)
Tomorrow - the last three films with Connelly nudity.
Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2000)
Michael Radford is a director who is always trying out
something new. He has helmed The Merchant of Venice, Il Postino,
B. Monkey, 1984, Delta of Venus ... and Dancing at the Blue Iguana,
which is a mostly improvisational slice-of-life movie about a
short period in the life of a strip club.
I like many of those films, but if there is a common thread
among them, I'm still trying to find it.
I kinda-sorta liked what he accomplished in this one. (Movie
House Review) It's too long and too rambling, as improvs are
wont to be, but it had some effective moments.
The film has one undeniable positive: hall of fame nudity
levels from famous and beautiful women, especially gorgeous
Charlotte Ayanna. Here are the zipped avis.
OTHER CRAP:
It's August 17th and .... you're on notice.
Today's notes:
When will the U.N. step in and put a halt to the brutal supermodel war? If not checked, it must eventually put the world on the path to WW3, while destroying humanity's greatest natural resource, our precious supermodels, in the process. And why won't George Bush ease the pressure by releasing part of America's strategic model reserve? He's obviously owned by the powerful runway-builders union, which benefits from the destruction.
Lucky whale vomit. For one little girl, a vacation to remember. For Alaska, the greatest-ever name for a scratch-off game.
If ever there was a reason to shut down the federal grand jury system, it is this: they indicted a country singer for being a good American and a good Christian. The constitution does not guarantee us the right to "cat weapons" or "dog ordnance," but specifically gives us the right to "bear arms." Why would the founding fathers have done that if they did not want us to hunt down and slaughter the godless killing machines in our midst. Tame bear, my ass. "Tame" bears are just working undercover.
Macacas. I misjudged George Allen. I figured he was just another dumb bohunk politico, but it turns out he's a genius. Most people would insult an Indian guy by calling him a gunga din, curry muncher, slurpee jockey, towelhead, nerka derka, swami, sultan, or untouchable, but not Allen. He chooses to insult the guy by calling him a name normally used only for Moroccans who emigrated to Belgium. Then he disguises it still further by adding an extra syllable! That's an insult James Joyce would have labored on for two years, burning the midnight candle in library after library, and Allen just spits it out as an ad-lib! My hat is off to the guy. He must have an IQ in the thousands.

Angel Guts: Nami (1979)
Angel Guts: Nami (1979) is the third installment of the Nikkatsu
Corporation's Angel Guts series based on the Manga of Takashi Ishii. Ishii
again wrote the screenplay for this one
This is the first time in the series that the story revolves completely
around the character of Nami, played this time by Eri Kanuma. Nami is a
feature writer for a popular woman's magazine, and is doing a series on the
aftermath of rape on victims. Not only is the public response positive, but
her editors are impressed, as she interviews one rape victim after another.
The only people not in love with the idea are the victims and Nami herself,
who is beginning to be creeped out by the whole thing. However, her job makes
her a very lucky, financially independent woman, not at all common in 1979
Japan, where most women lived at home until they married. As is usual in these
films, the recurring characters of Nami and Tetsuro form a relationship and
try to reach some sort of redemption.
In the UK, these films had severe censorship problems due to the mix of sex
and violence. Japanese censors have a completely different take on it,
forbidding pubic hair and genitals, but permitting the graphic portrayal of
any extreme combination of sex and violence. We see more rapes in this film
than any other in the series, one of which includes an autopsy-like incision
in a nurses stomach, as her rapist/doctor wants to "see her guts." This sounds
very bizarre to the Western ear, but they ascribe to the guts what we ascribe
to the heart. In Japanese figurative speech, all emotion and feelings are in
the guts.
Reviewers see this plot as one of the easiest to follow in the series, and
some of the imagery this time is lovely. It was directed by Noboru Tanaka, who
started as a French major, and discovered that he liked writing poetry more
than prose, because he could create many mental images from a few well chosen
words. It then occurred to him that cinema would work the same way, but with
pictures.
While I didn't like this one as much as Red Vertigo or Red Classroom, it is
still a solid C.
IMDb readers say 6.5, but based on only 20 votes.

Just a few clips with a theme -- Hefmates of the silver screen.
Petra Verkaik (zipped .avi) and
Suzi Simpson (zipped .avi) gave up top goodies in
the silly-assed Speedway.
Of much earlier vintage is a clip of
Veronica Gamba (four .avis zipped together) in
Smokey and the Bandit III. Her flash of bum in the first clip is so short I
slowed down things for the second. In the others she gives up flashes of hooties.

Pat's comments in yellow...
Carlos Vazquez of LaVista, Nebraska, was wanted on felony shooting charges and
was hiding at his girlfriend's apartment when she tried to call Domino's for
pizza. But their number begins with 9-9-1, and she mistakenly dialed 9-1-1.
Realizing she'd called the police, she hung up. When the cops found nobody on
the line, they rushed to the address to investigate. They recognized her as
Vazquez's girlfriend, found him hiding behind a stereo speaker, and arrested
him.
* The good news: that night, the jail was serving pizza.
Two supermodels are battling over which one is "The Body." In a new Victoria's
Secret bra commercial, Heidi Klum says, "They call me 'The Body.' and now I have
a bra named after me." But Elle MacPherson, who
has her own lingerie line, went ballistic. Her spokeswoman says they have
magazine clippings calling Elle "The Body," going back 20 years. But a
Victoria's Secret rep said they have 10 years of clippings calling Heidi
"The Body," adding, "There was 'The Body' before Elle and there will be one
after Heidi. Brigitte Bardot, Ursula Andress and Gisele Bundchen come to
mind."
* Not to mention Jesse Ventura.
* There's only one way to settle this: mud-wrestling match!
