Movies:

I watched some seriously bad films today.

Sally is a terrible road picture with Rachel Leigh Cook. There is no nudity, but Cook spends most of the movie in a white t-shirt and does a love scene while wearing a towel.

• Rachel Leigh Cook (1, 2, 3)

Shampoo is the legendary fictionalized account of the career of the late Jay Sebring, hairdresser to the stars. I guess the movie was considered pretty good back  in 1975, but it is not good at all. The real Sebring was a notorious seducer (obviously, he wasn't gay), and was among the people killed by the Manson family on the same night they killed Sharon Tate.

• Julie Christie (1, 2, 3)

• Lee Grant

A Little Sex is a dreadful romantic comedy, which is neither romantic nor funny. Not very well acted, either. And the love scene was obscured  in post-production by adding some phoney-baloney digital candles. And the stars are Kate Capshaw and Otter, who ain't exactly Leigh and Gable. 'Nuff said.

• Kate Capshaw. (1, 2, 3)

Thomas in Love is a strange French movie about the future of cyber sex. The main character is never seen. We watch the world through his eyes. He's also agoraphobic, and spends his entire life on the internet, so the entire movie basically consists of the images on his computer screen overlaid with English subtitles. (It's in French, so we don't  understand his voice, yet his voice is all we have to identify him, since he's never seen. That predicament makes it pretty damned hard to relate to him, and explains why the movie never reached more than three screens in the USA, even though it isn't a bad flick.)

• Some cartoon chick. (There are live actresses as well, but they keep their clothes on).

Other crap

• WWN reports from Tehran - "Arab men are going wild over an outrageous new entertainment craze that's taken this city by storm - wet burqa contests!"
• which stars do you NOT want a Valentine's day call from
• Mariah Carey at Cannes - her breats seem to be growing exponentially
• Rotten Tomatoes list the Best films of 2002
• Curt Mr Perfect Henning is dead
• Jennifer Connelly is pregnant
• Madonna will make an anti-war video containing scenes of dismembered Iraqi men and women and wounded Iraqi babies and children. Sounds like even more fun than Swept Away
• This is amazing. An Onion satire from Jan 18, 2001 which seems to have been written by Nostradamus
• whatever happened to the bell curve. Caving in to pressure on their students, Virginia universities assign A's 43% of the time, B's 40%. Nationwide, similar trend. "Levine sampled the grades of 4,900 students in four-year colleges across the country. He found that the share of grades above B plus rose from 7 percent in 1969 to 26 percent in 1993."
•  The Dell dude gets busted for marijuana possession. Hey, that ain't right. Pot is a Gateway drug! "Dude, you're getting a delousing". For those of you wanting to enrich your vocabulary: "Dude, you're getting a delict"
• Shoe company hires actress to re-create Sharon Stone leg-crossing scene
• Part 1 of RetroCrush's "The most annoying movie characters ever". I don't know. There was only one Adam Sandler character on the list. Maybe the rest of his movies will be in Part 2. Kate Capshaw made it.
• Sexy screen star Jennifer Garner had to re-shoot some of her scenes in Daredevil because fans complained she was wearing too many clothes.

   

   

   

  
   

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 Lawdog or Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or Mick Locke, or somebody else besides me)
• If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.

• Bibí Andersen, full frontal nudity from the Pedro Almodóvar movie "Kika" (1993).

KID WITH 40 HASH JOINTS RELEASED
Voted "Most Popular" - In Italy, selling marijuana is illegal, but having it for personal use is not. So when a 17-year-old boy was caught on a school field trip with 40 joints of hashish, he was not prosecuted. He claimed he planned to share it with two other students and a teacher, and the judge ruled that "it could easily have been consumed" during the trip, so he was freed.
