99 Women (1969) is a Jess Franco women in prison film, and mostly follows the formula. It opens with women being taken to the prison, one innocent. There they encounter a fiendish lesbian warden, a pig of a governor, and have cat fights and sexual encounters with the other inmates. A more humane warden is assigned to the prison, but her influence is in doubt. Eventually, all of this leads to an escape attempt through the jungle.

Where this deviates from the formula is mainly in the ending. It also lacks a shower scene. In fact, there is limited nudity for the genre, especially for a Jess Franco film. It was partially shot in 1969 Spain, however, which was not yet that liberal in terms of censorship. After the film was completed, they shot two additional nude scenes for distribution in other countries. We have breasts and buns from Rosalba Neri, Maria Rohm and Valentina Godoy, as the three women who escape.

Many versions exist, including one that was cut by 20 minutes in Spain, the German release, which is the most complete version, one in which someone else added hard core inserts, and the US release, which had less nudity and some different sequences than the German release. Franco had nothing to do with the hard core version, and is not very happy that it was even made. The Blue Underground release is very well done, and includes alternate version material, an interview with Franco, and sports a very nice transfer. The film did very well at the time, even reaching the Hollywood Variety number one spot. As a WIP film, this is a C-, lacking nudity which is an important aspect of the genre. On the other hand, as a Jess Franco effort, this is very good for him, or a C+.

Other Crap:

• Swank and Blanchett have a date with Oscar! Neither showed any skin, but what have this year's ten female nominees shown in the past? The complete Scoopy.com UNcoverage of Oscar night. Winslet, of course, is a Hall of Famer. Madsen did a lot of nudity in the 80s and early 90s. Linney waited until she was 40, but now seems to remove her clothing in every film (including, briefly, in Kinsey - the only nudity among this year's Best Actress nominations, unless you include Portman's thong in Closer.).
• Intelligent MIDI Sequencing with Hamster Control. I'm not sure what that means, but it should cure Richard Gere's fear of computers.
• Rock Comes Out Swinging As Oscar Host. This article includes most of his zingers. I have to say that his mean riffs on Tobey Maguire, Colin Farrell and (especially) Jude Law did make me a little uncomfortable. (Although they were pretty funny).
• Scorsese makes it 0 for 5; Million Dollar Baby takes top Oscar prizes.
  • Scorsese did not win the Best Director award. That was expected by the bookies. His film also lost Best Picture. That was a minor surprise. The offshore oddsmakers had called The Aviator a narrow favorite over the actual winner, Million Dollar Baby.
  • The Aviator did win four of the techno-nerd awards, and also garnered a Best Supporting Actress trophy for Blanchett. .
  • No surprise: Jamie Foxx won the Best Actor statuette for Ray.
  • No surprise: Sideways and Eternal Sunshine won the screenplay awards.
  • (I guess I hang with a bad crowd, because everyone I know thinks Eternal Sunshine should have been the best picture winner, and it wasn't even nominated.)

Today from the Ghost...a few video clips from the direct-to-vid sequel, "Species II" (1998).

• Felicia Deel (zipped .wmv). Here she is topless and working the brass pole like a true pro. In fact, I'm willing to bet that she's an exotic dancer in real life.

• Sarah Wynter (zipped .wmv), the Aussie actress and co-star of "The 6th Day" and "24" climbing on top of a dude and showing her breasts.

• Raquel Gardner and Nancy La Scala (zipped .wmv). I'm not sure which is which, but they both bare breasts and bum as they take turns doing the main dude.

• Natasha Henstridge (zipped .wmvs). Topless in link #1. In link #2 she is nude, but covered up by bright blue restraints. (1, 2)

Scoops,
Here is come continued coverage of "The Hunger" series:

• Lisa Bronwyn Moore showing toplessness and a thong view from the episode "Week Woman"

• Anne Lishman bares breasts and bush and gets it on in scenes from the episode "The Suction Method". (1, 2)

• Stellina Rusich goes topless in the episode "The Replacement".

• Polly Shannon also topless. Scenes from the "Brass" episode.

"Wild Thing" (1987)
PG-rated urban Tarzan movie not to be confused with the Kevin Bacon movie of a similar name.

• Kathleen Quinlan: openblouse as Jane getting ravaged.
• Cree Summer: cleavage by voice actress. You may know her brother Indian Summer.
• Bonnie Beck: partial boob as hooker. She's the brunette.
• Unknown: bra-less hippie girl.

"Ski Hard" (1995) aka Downhill Willie
Dumb PG-rated ski bunny movie starring George Costanza's mother from Seinfeld.

• April Telek: cleavage.
• Unknowns: bikini girls.

Hoop Life: episode Of Human Bondage
If you are watching this on Spike hoping to see Alisha Klass stick a lollipop up her tuckus you are wasting your time. Spike is showing the watered down syndicated episodes with a very obnoxious bug in the lower righthand corner. This is the same network that pixilated the nudity in the Stripperella cartoon and that was before the Janet Jackson incident. The cable network for men indeed.

• Laura Catalano: most of her nudity cut out in syndication.

• Daria Werbowy
• Julia Stegner
• Tiiu Kuik
• Hana Soukupova (1, 2,
• Paulina Kouklina 1, 2)
