Well, it's a start ...
I probably don't have to tell you guys that the two most
eagerly awaited DVDs right now are Ask the Dust (Salma Hayek stark
naked) and The Notorious Bettie Page (Gretchen Mol stark naked).
Surprisingly, there have been very few leaks on these two films,
so it's nice to see these captures from Ask the Dust, even if the
quality is weak.
- Here is a zipped file with a whole bunch of 352x240 .jpgs
from the outdoor, nighttime swimming scene.
- Here is a sample: one of the images blown up to 800x546 so
you can get the general idea of the scene.
Hey, I know the pics are not exactly DVD quality, but it's a
lot more than we had yesterday! And it's Salma Friggin' Hayek,
dammit!

Weekend Box Office Results, June 2-4,
2006
- As a group, the movies tracked a
bit above the expectations. That may
be attributable to the inaccuracy of
the expectations, since the Top 12
are tracking about dead even with
last year, as they have been for the
past two weekends.
- X-Men 3 dropped a precipitous
67% from last week. "Event" movies
always tail off when the initial
core of geekdom is exhausted on
opening weekend, but the especially
steep drop probably indicates that
the word of mouth has not been
especially good.
- The Break-Up overcame bad
reviews to exceed expectations and
take the #1 spot. Imagine what a
good comedy would do! Unfortunately,
Hollywood doesn't seem to have any
in the wings. The next big comedy
events are Clerks 2 and that Will
Ferrell NASCAR movie, which are more
than a month away.
- The Al Gore movie snuck into the
#9 spot, despite being in only 77
theaters. It took in nearly twice as
much as Just My Luck, which is in
nearly 1000 theaters!

- ESPN says: "The Mavs swept the
season series -- including a 112-76
rout on Feb. 9 -- and have won 10 of
the last 12 meetings. Nowitzki
averaged 25 points in the two
victories this season. But the Heat
are a much different team than the
one that struggled against top
competition this season -- and
nothing like the team Dallas beat
103-90 in November. O'Neal was out
with an injury and Riley hadn't yet
replaced Stan Van Gundy on the
bench."

doing nothing - columnist Dave Barry

creators of 'The Matrix' trilogy, may
write and direct the Speed Racer
feature film."

"Monique"
Monique (1969) is one of a spurt of sexploitation films that were released in the late 60s, taking advantage of relaxed censorship. Most were inane comedies, but this one actually deals with believable people that have human motives. Bill (David Sumner) and Jean (Joan Alcorn) are parents of two and living in suburbia. Jean is tired to death of spending all day talking to three foot high people, and Bill and Jean's sex life is rather lackluster. Jean comes up with the idea that an Au Pair would help the situation, and that they could afford one if she went back to work. She had no idea just how much sexy French au pair Monique (Sibylla Kay) would help. She was literate, spoke excellent English, was great with the kids and easy on the eyes. Bill wasted little time making his more on her. He was in for the shock of his life, however, when he came home unexpectedly and caught Monique and Jean in a hot embrace.
The film did not dwell excessively on the more salacious aspects of the relationship, but rather showed the family day to day life, and more or less made a point that Monique probably saved their relationship. Both Sibylla Kay and Joan Alcorn show breasts and buns.
IMDb has only 17 votes, but rates it 4.8. I suppose a film advertised as sexploitation that is really a sensitive relationship film would have trouble finding its audience. Not only does the film reflect a very 60s mind set about sexual freedom, but is a time capsule in other ways as well. As sexploitation, I am afraid it only scores a D, but compared to Bob and Ted and Carol and Alice, it is in the same league, and merits a C.

This disk, Electric Blue: Sex Model File #2, was put together from episodes of Electric Blue that cover quite some territory. Two of the babes, the previously offered Carla Fernandez and today's Charmaine Sinclair, were active at the time this thing came out on videotape. That means a few things. The video quality is much better than that for the other gals, the two women involved give serious goodies (a quick translation of that sentence: the gyno-cam comes out to play when they are on the screen) and even the style of shooting is different. Carla and Charmaine act as though they are really part of a photo-shoot. They stop and hold a pose and then move on to the next. At the same time the video camera moves slowly and with some purpose. The result is a boat-load of high-quality captures. So just as with Carla, Charmaine's exposure includes 21 collages. And there are 5 clips to cover the same territory more thoroughly.
A note about Charmaine Sinclair. Some of the images I have seen on the web indicate she was truly a sex model, of the professional boffing variety. Not here, of course. Electric Blue was more a baby blue when it came to that sort of thing.
Now, about the blonde "photographer" whose rumpus and nether regions show up in both the Carla and Charmaine clips...I do not know who she is. IMDb says Nicole Simmons is on this disk, but she was nowhere in my viewing. This can't be her unless she got chunkier and blonde and taller as she aged. The first two are a possibility...even a likelihood...but the last? Who knows?

'Caps and comments by Dann:
"Transamerica"
Felicity Huffman does an incredible job playing a man playing a woman in this very good 2005 drama.
Bree is a male-to-female transsexual who has been working two jobs to have the final operation that will complete her change to a female. She is only a week from her operation when she learns that she has a son from a relationship 17 years ago, and the son is in jail in New York. Her therapist convinces her that she should deal with this problem before the operation, so she goes to New York to spring the kid from jail.
Posing as a church worker, Bree secures the boy's release into her care. Without revealing her identity to the boy, she convinces him to return to Los Angeles with her, secretly planning to leave him at his stepfather's along the way.
Eventually, the truth comes out, as Bree finds it not so easy to dump the boy as she had expected. An excellent story, good acting, and good script all add up to an outstanding movie that is poignant and funny at the same time.
