Scoopy Jr. here...I'm holding down the fort while Sr. takes a few days off. My only words of wisdom today...

Not many people know it, but the Fuhrer was a terrific dancer.

MOVIE REVIEWS:

Yellow asterisk: funny (maybe). White asterisk: expanded format. Blue asterisk: not mine. No asterisk: it probably sucks.

Emanuelle: Queen of Sados

Emanuelle: Queen of Sados (1979), AKA Emanuelle's Daughter is a Laura Gemser soft core made in Greece. While her character has nothing to do with the character in the real black Emanuelle series, at least she is called Emanuelle, showing that the decision to exploit Gemser's association with the popular series came early in the project. Gemser is the wife of a rich sadist. She finally tires of his torture, and has him killed. She inherits nothing, but is made governess to her step-daughter, and executor of the estate until the daughter comes of age. She then sets out to squeeze her husband's partners out of the fruit business and solidify her control. Meanwhile, she stiffs the assassin for half his money, and he comes after her.

Gemser is not as unsympathetic a character as the above makes it sound. We see what she put up with at the hands of her husband, and he clearly needed killing. This is actually a rather complex plot for what is really a soft core film which shows 5 naked women having sex. In fact, there is nudity in nearly every frame.

Laura Gemser starts the film off doing full frontal in a sex scene, and shows everything multiple times. Livia Russo, as the young daughter, also shows everything. Note that from the neck down, she looks 12 to 14. Some of the head shots show more maturity. I must assume that she was actually 18 or older at the time of filming. Nadia Neri, as an assistant to the dead husband, also shows everything, as does un unidentified masseuse. Kathrin Maalouf is seen wearing only sheer white panties as a girlfriend of the assassin.

IMDb readers say 4.2. I understand this has be shown on US cable with the Livia Russo nudity and the Gemser torture cut entirely. That would ruin the plot, and the ending would make no sense, which is what some of those commenting complained of. While the ending is abrupt and inconclusive, I can live with it. This DVD sports a very nice full screen transfer, and most of the nudity is in very good light. In short, it is a treat for the eyes. I didn't find the simulated sex particularly erotic. As a fake Emanuelle film, it is second to Love Cult, which has a more interesting premise. As a soft-core, we will call it a C. While the simulated sex was luke warm, the nudity was red hot.

Kathrin Maalouf, toplessness.

Laura Gemser, showing just about every inch of skin.

Plenty of full frontal nudity by Livia Russo

Nadia Neri shows all 3 B's plus some gyno views.

SIMON COWELL HAS NO TASTE
Favorite Cheese: Velveeta - In a Playboy interview, Simon Cowell bashed Bob Dylan as less talented than "Idol" winner, Kelly Clarkson. Cowell said, "Do I prefer Kelly Clarkson's music to Bob Dylan's? Yes. I've never bought a Dylan record. A singing poet? It just bores me to tears." As to criticism that "Idol" debases music, Cowell said, "If I had 10 Dylans in the final of 'American Idol,' we would not be getting 30 million viewers a week. I don't believe the Bob Dylans of this world would make 'American Idol' a better show."

*Well, it might make it a better show if they had one person on staff who could actually write a decent song.
*How about if the singing poet looked like Jewel?
*Bob Dylan responded, but it was completely unintelligible.



SLIM WAISTS ARE ALWAYS IN STYLE
The Unmoving Hourglass - The University of Texas at Austin found that standards of female beauty are always changing, but the one thing that's remained constant for centuries is a slim waist. Studies of 300 years of literary descriptions of female beauty found wide variation of tastes in buttocks, legs, faces and other body parts. In other eras. today's skinny models with high cheekbones would've been considered ugly. But across the centuries, narrow waists that give women hourglass figures have always been attractive to men, possibly because they're a sign of fertility.

*Or maybe it's just because they make the boobs look bigger.
*It's also a sign that says 'maybe the grocery bill won't be too high'.
*If fertility makes women attractive, how come of all of today's sex symbols are too skinny to ovulate?
