"The Blackout" (1997)
The Blackout (1997) is another of Abel Ferrara's films, complete with his usual photographic pyrotechnics, and with his usual lost soul seeking redemption, but this film isn't even close to interesting. It had a European release, but went straight to Vid in this country, and will be
released next Tuesday. It stars Matthew Modine as a famous actor who is addicted to booze and drugs, and comes to Miami to try and patch things up with his beautiful girlfriend, Annie (Béatrice Dalle), but she lost interest in him when he told her to have an abortion while in a drunken stupor. She is acting in a video film for nightclub owner/wanna-be porn king Dennis Hopper. He meets a waitress, also named Annie (Sarah Lassez), and takes her to meet Hopper.
Cut to 18 months in the future. Modine is living in New York with Claudia Schiffer, and celebrating 12 months of sobriety, but his nightmares of what happened at the end of his Florida stay haunt him. He is afraid he has murdered Dalle in his blackout, and returns to Florida to find her.
Dalle shows breasts very briefly in a totally double-exposed scene. Lassez has a long full-frontal at the very end of the film. It is dark and completely gratuitous, but is still nice to look at. At one point in the film, Hopper and Modine visit two hookers, who spend a lot of screen time
showing off their breasts. I was unable to id either one. If someone can help with the ID, there are lots of frames for more images. This may be additional footage added for the DVD release, as it is not even mentioned at CNDB.
Throughout the film, Ferrara has inserted very grainy video footage, which I found totally distracting. I think he attempted to show 1st person POV in this film, but it was hard to follow, and the ending was telegraphed at about the half way point. I applaud Ferrara, and anyone else who is daring enough to try radical ideas, but this is one I could easily have missed. IMDB readers say 4.1/10. I will give it a C-.

Nattevagten is sort of a fascinating story. It is a successful Danish film, which was remade almost line by line by the same director in English, only two years after he did the Danish version. (The English version is Nightwatch, with Obi-Wan, Nick Nolte, and Patricia Arquette. Personally, I like the Danish version better.)

In case you haven't seen enough...here is one more excellent 'cap of Halle topless in "Swordfish". Fantastic quality. If I had to guess, I'd say there is a reel at someone's local cineplex missing a frame.

An update from the Seattle Film Festival:
1)Some great nudity/lesbianism from Piper Pierabo and Jessica Pare in the third-rate Canadian lesbian coming of age drama "Lost and Delirious" (it's If.... meets When Night Is Falling!).
2)Catherine Balliat's first film, "A Real Young Girl," which has been re-released in France, screened here. It has acres of nudity from the lovely and nubile Charlotte Alexandra, and in perverted enough contexts to make "Romance X" look like a Frank Capra picture...
3)The surprisingly good new Kathryn Bigelow picture, "Weight of Water" (w/Sean Penn) features full breastal nudity from Liz Hurley. But, alas, only near misses from Catherine McCormick and the sublime Sarah Polley.
Thanks to Scooter for the update!

Homer Simpson's Phrase in Dictionary
OXFORD, England (AP) - Homer Simpson with an English accent?
Don't laugh - the beer-guzzling cartoon dad has hit the literary big-time. His favorite phrase has made it into the erudite Oxford English Dictionary.
The OED's online edition defines Homer's trademark "d'oh!" - usually accompanied by a Simpsonesque slap to the forehead - as "expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned or that one has just said or done something foolish. Also implying that another person has said or done something foolish."
It's one of 1,250 new or revised entries published Thursday on the OED Web site. They'll all be added to the next edition of the print dictionary, but its publication is years away.
Other new additions and updated definitions include "bad hair day", which caught the dictionary writers' attention after turning up in the novel "Bridget Jones's Diary", and "full monty", whose definition was expanded to include total nudity, thanks to the film about unemployed British steelworkers who turn to stripping.
Also added: "retail therapy", "serial monogamy" and "lifestyle drugs".
Here's the OED official definition.
Someone needs their eyes checked!
I'm not sure who gave or took this poll but it looks like there was some serious crack smoking goin' on!
