Tuna
"Black Widow"

Black Widow (1987) stars Theresa Russell as a woman who marries rich older men, kills them in ways that are undetectable, collects their money, then disappears from site, only to start another conquest. Debra Winger is a Federal investigator who does research an analysis, notices a trend, and gets permission to go after the black widow.

The chase leads Winger to Seattle, where the murder happens in spite of her efforts, and then to Hawaii. Seems she has no hard evidence, so sets about to trap Russell before she can kill again. Russell's portrayal is interesting in that she seems to have some genuine feelings for all the men that she has killed. She shows buns and the side of a breast in front of a fireplace, then is completely nude swimming in a pool at night. Though there is some distortion in all of the frames, all of her body parts are visible eventually.

IMDB readers have this at 6.2 of 10. Ebert awards 2 1/2 stars in an interesting review that talks about a much better way to take the plot and end the film. I also felt a little cheated by the ending. This is in the C to C- range, but given the talent and initial premise, it could have been much more.

    No te fallaré  (2001)

    Imagine a Dawson's Creek reunion movie done three years after the show ended, showing all the main characters in brief cameos, but really only focusing on, let's say Dawson and Joey. Imagine that it is done in the style of a nighttime soap opera, throw in some moody lighting and sadistic gangsters, ala Miami Vice, add some breasts, et voila, you'd have an English version of this Spanish-language movie based on a popular TV series about high school students in Spain.

    Eva Santolaria is beautiful but lacking in warmth and approachability. She's beautiful like Laura Flynn Boyle, not like Michelle Pfeiffer. Liek LFB, she is painfully thin except for a nice chest.

    As for the movie, skip it. It isn't even worth the watch if you speak Spanish.

    Tuna capped this a long time ago in a widescreen version. It was recently released in a full screen version with a 20 minute "making of" documentary. That would normally be a "who cares" proposition, except that the full screen version was created from the full 35mm frame, so there is some additional nudity not in Tuna's widescreen caps, particularly in captures #2, #5, and #6.

    Uncle Scoop,

    When I first saw Justin Timberlake “dancing” on stage with Janet, I thought of how much of his act is stolen from Michael. Then I realized this is the closest Janet would ever get to performing with her brother again ...

    ... except that Justin has darker skin.

    After Justin tore off Janet’s top, I thought to myself, “How lucky can that bastard get?” First, he gets to fuck Britney, then Cameron and now he gets to tear of Janet’s top in public.

    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.

    Words from Scoop.

    .avi's from Shiloh.

    .wmv files made by Scoop from Shiloh's .avi's.

     

    1. An incredible find from Shiloh! Hot lesbian scene between Nicole Ari Parker (Soul Food) and Lauren Holloman (Angel, The L Word) in an obscure 1993 movie called The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love. Both were in their very early 20s at the time, but Parker already had those massive mams.

    2. And one more look at Mary-Louise Parker's full frontal and rear nudity in Angels in America. (.avi version, .wmv version)

     

     

     

    Perhaps these tips will help if you have trouble with the codecs for these movies:

    Shiloh says:

    FYI when I hypercam vids to make the file size smaller I use DivX MPEG-4 Fast-Motion for the video compressor, then I use virtualdub to compress the audio. The properties for the vids says the video codec:  DivX Decoder Filter & audio codec:  Morgan Stream Switcher which I'm not familiar with. When I compress the audio with virtualdub I use MPEG Layer-3.  A friend of mine told me about compressing the audio about (6) mos. ago. Like I said previously, only been capping for a year & a half & I'm no expert. Hopefully this info will help members with the proper codecs for my vids.
     
    When I cap big brother's I use hypercam mostly & sdp & asfrecorder if the set up allows me. I stopped using camtasia cause the file sizes were always too big, could never figure out the process, over my head lol, plus it cost too much to buy in my opinion.

    A reader says:

    You mentioned that some users were having trouble with the videos on your site. There is a tool designed to determine what codec is needed for a video. http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ Hope this is useful to you or your users.

    Scoop says:

    I made the .wmv versions of each video. The codecs for these: Windows Video V8, Windows Audio 9. The upside of these is that you know the codecs, and they'll play in the Windows Media Player. The downside is that they are slightly larger, and slightly lower quality.

    'Caps and comments by Johnny Moronic:

    Yep, Heather Graham in a comedy can only mean one thing, yeah, she gets down to her bra and panties or naked and we don't see anything. Yet, she gets naked in crappy serious films like Killing Me Softly (not that I'm complaining). Actually, in one bit, you can actually see the tape over her nipple.

    And yeah, Minnie in undies ain't that bad either.

    TWO MORE RIDICULOUS FOX REALITY SHOWS
    First, Remove Their Huge Beaks - Fox is planning two more reality shows of questionable taste. In "The Swan," 18 "ugly duckling" female contestants will get extreme plastic surgery makeovers and three-month emotional and physical reconditioning sessions, then compete in a two-hour beauty pageant. Another twist: they won't be allowed to see their own new faces in a mirror until after the beauty contest. * But they will be able to tell who has the biggest breasts, so they'll know who'll win. * Another twist: they have to do their own makeup. * Other than the mirror thing, this is exactly like every other beauty pageant. * Know who else can't look at himself in the mirror? The guy who thinks up these reality shows.


    She Likes Muscular, Soap Opera Types - On "Playing It Straight," a female contestant will test her "gaydar" by dating 14 bachelors, some of whom are gay guys pretending to be straight. She has to pick a straight man to win $1 million, but if she picks a gay one, he gets the money. * To make it really confusing, one of the guys is Sean Hayes from "Will & Grace." * And all the straight men have to get a "Queer Eye" makeover first. * Every single girl in Los Angeles has the exact same problem to deal with. * She'll have to weed out the ones who only watched the Super Bowl to see Janet Jackson's choreography.


    SUPER BOWL SPARKS GRAMMY CAUTION
    And Janet Will Wear A Rip-Away Burqa - Following the Super Bowl uproar, CBS will air Sunday's Grammy Awards with what they called a new "enhanced five-second tape delay." This will allow them to edit out not only audio, but video as well. * So they won't have to keep Li'l Kim nailed inside a refrigerator crate until it's over. * And to be extra safe, they're putting duct tape over Bono's mouth.


    Now, There's An Idea! - But the Grammy producers rejected calls to drop Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake from the show, telling E! Online, "If we took everyone who is controversial off the show, no one would perform." * Nobody but people with actual musical talent, and then the show would only be 15 minutes long. * There's no way you can keep all the boobs off the Grammy Awards.


    BRITNEY TO CONCENTRATE ON ACTING
    Step One: Pose For Playboy - WENN celebrity news reports that sales of Britney Spears' last album were so mediocre, she plans to spend the next couple of years concentrating on her acting career. Her first goal is to be a Bond girl. * But does she really have the acting talent to fill the shoes of Denise Richards? * Britney can't even act well enough to convince people she's really singing at her own concerts. * Compared to her last movie, her last album was a raging success.
