Lethal Target (1999) is one of the Lloyd A. Simandl Sci Fi soft-cores, and possibly one of the best. As you recall, they all start out with scantily clad women moving rocks in a prison mine, then one of the prisoners is summoned, and given a special dangerous assignment, for which she will win her freedom. The location then changes from the mines to a warehouse in Prague, which serves as any number of inner cities, spaceships, and whatever else they need. In this case, it is a spaceship, and C. C. Costigan is up against the alien from Alien, who has fallen on hard times and is now working in grade Z soft-cores. The ship was on a scientific exploration and research mission when the female captain, Kim Dawson, returned from a field trip infected with the alien, and spread it to the crew. Costigan must defeat the alien and save the world. This, of course, necessitates lots of sex and nudity, including breasts and buns from Costigan and Dawson, as well as several Czech girls who show their breasts.

IMDB now has a grand total of 13 votes, and it is 4.9 of 10. There is now one review linked, and it trashes not only the film, but the DVD. Hey, it has naked women in good light, some semblance of a plot, and mostly decent photography, so it nearly meets genre expectations. C-.

The cast of the offbeat softcore film, The First Nudie Musical, included Cindy Williams (Shirley from Laverne and Shirley) and future ace director Ron Howard. They didn't get naked. Opie's role was a cameo, but Williams is the star of the film, even though it's a nudie musical, she doesn't get naked, and she doesn't sing.

I told you it was offbeat.

Other crap:

• The twenty dumbest state flags
• Not only did Alexander Graham Bell not invent the telephone, but he probably stole the plans from the Italian guy who actually did - 27 years earlier! "After being ignored for months by Western Union officials, a fed-up Meucci tried to get his prototype and supporting documentation back, but was told it had been misplaced. A few years later, Bell and Elisha Gray came up with almost identical inventions".
• Speaking of re-written history, if you have never real my article on Edward Muybridge, the guy who actually invented motion pictures - here it is. Edison and the Lumieres gave their first exhibitions in 1895-1986. Muybridge demonstrated a more technically advanced technique on May 4, 1880, as fully documented by four newspapers which covered the event. Most pertinent to our page, Muybridge filmed the first nude scenes in 1884-1886 (shown on the page) - ten years before Edison and the Lumieres "invented" projected motion pictures.
• Semi-intellectual Slate Magazine weighs in on the phenomenon of the "failure cache". Celebrity boxing, Bill Shatner's rapping, Bob Dole's commercials, "Showgirls", and the whole new cult of "bad". Their conclusion: great failure is its own form of success. And there is much rejoicing ... at Potsie's house.
• Maxim Online picks the fifty worst movies of all time. It's mostly just someone's shoulder chip, but the comments are entertaining. (I think it's pretty obvious that The English Patient is not one of the fifty worst movies ever made, even though it may well be one of the fifty most hated.). If I were choosing in earnest, the following are some I would pick for the list, in addition to last year's champ, Freddy Got Fingered. I'd say these are the worst ones I've seen since I started doing this web site. They are in no special order.

1. Going Overboard
2. Gummo
3. Glam
4. Mother and Son
5. Manos, the Hands of Fate
6. Dead Babies
7. High Strung
8. Hardcase and Fist
9. Redline
10. Yor, Hunter from the Future
11. Island of the Dead
12. The Loss of Sexual Innocence

If I had to choose one as the very worst, I guess it would have to be Glam, but Dead Babies is a strong contender. I have never seen Spice World.

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 I inexplicably determined there might be something of interest.
• A blue asterisk indicates the review is written by Tuna (or Lawdog or Junior or C2000 or Realist or ICMS or somebody else besides me)
• If there is no asterisk, I wrote it, but am too ashamed to admit it.

• Amanda Donohoe, all three B's in the 1987 movie "Castaway"

• Holly Hunter, bares breasts and bum in her Oscar Award winning performance in "The Piano".

• Mädchen Amick, toplessness and full frontal nudity in "Dream Lover" (1994).

Amy Lindsay is just so darned cute that I just had to do a few more 'caps of her in "Forbidden Sins". Today it's a little upskirt tease (in links 1 and 2), then it's on to the topless and full frontal exposure.

• Amy Lindsay (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Today's "Babe in Bondage is Stephanie Moore in "Hangman" and for poor Stephanie that's what happens to her.

TOPLESS MERMAID BUSTED, BUT CASE FLOUNDERS
The Scales Of Justice - Amy Gunderson, a 30-year-old model, is suing the New York Police Department for false arrest and malicious prosecution after they busted her for indecent exposure for appearing as a topless mermaid in a Coney Island parade. Her costume consisted of a thong and body paint, and the cops who booked her made her put Band-Aids over her nipples. She said she didn't understand why she was in trouble, and a judge agreed the costume was appropriate and dropped the charge.

Christina's D-Cup boobs were too big for her tiny 5-foot-1 frame. They were so big they were the first thing people looked at, and she didn't like it. Her advisers said she'd get better roles if she had a smaller chest because some directors equate big boobs with being a bimbo. She went under the knife after she decided to do a nude scene for the movie 'Prozac Nation'. She supposedly had the surgery right around her 20th birthday in February 2000.
