Movies 

Have we got the goodies today!

The big theatrical and DVD release of the year is probably the extended version of 1984's Amadeus. It's one of the greatest movies of all time, digitally remastered with a new soundtrack, a 2-disk special DVD edition, and 20 minutes of additional footage. I discussed the additional footage in some detail in the review. More to our point, the new footage includes Elizabeth Berridge with her top off.

  • Berridge in Amadeus (1, 2, 3, 4)

While I was at it, I also did some new captures of Berridge in 1981's The Funhouse, a Tobe Hooper horror film with a streak of the grotesque.

  • Berridge in Funhouse (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

As if that weren't enough for one day, True Romance is out on a special edition, and there is extensive additional nudity from Patricia Arquette. Very lovely, sexy scene with her and Slater in a bathtub.

  • Arquette in the deleted scenes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
  • Arquette in the movie proper. (1, 2, 3, 4)

 

Updates

And that's not all. In addition to all-new pics of Berridge and Arquette, there are new Encyclopedia volumes for:

  • Sarah Miles
  • Carole Laure
  • Kay Parker
  • Uschi Digard
  • Sadie Frost

 

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.

Graphic Response
  • Valeria Golino, the Italian actress is topless in this dark love scene from "An Occasional Hell" (1996).

Brainscan
'Caps and comments by Brainscan:

Today...collages showing the full range of nekkidness by Stacey Leigh Mobley in "Emmanuelle: A Time to Dream". These include:

  • A revisit to the harem scene, first with Kimberly Rowe and Tiendre Damian (collages 1 and 2) and then all by herself (collage 3). A triple B performance. (1, 2, 3)

  • A new scene. A very gratifying scene... self-gratifying, that is... for Stacey. She's supposed to be working off a lot of tension all by her little lonesome while being spied upon by a friend. Three collages, hooters only. (1, 2, 3)

  • A great scene. Terrific full-frontal action in good light. Stacey may not be drop-dead gorgeous like Krista, and she doesn't have the upper equipment of Debra Beatty. But she has one terrifically athletic body. (1, 2)


A Fellow Funhouse Reader asked last week 'bout scans of Elisha Cuthbert, who played Keifer Sutherland's daughter in 24. The pictures are in the Oct issue of FHM, and just as the man said, they are hot. Not real revealing, but hot. They are all bikini poses or something close to it. The cleaned-up cover is the first one; my favorite is #4.

  • Elisha Cuthbert (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Variety
Elizabeth Peña
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

RDO 'caps of the Latina actress topless in scenes from the 1990 movie "Jacob's Ladder".

Elisha Cuthbert
(1, 2, 3, 4)

A few more sexy scans of the "24" star. This time we have bikinis and other skimpy outfits from a spread in Maxim.

Jamie Bochert
(1, 2, 3, 4)

A small batch from the master of the fashion scan, Blackshine. Toplessness in #1.

Angelina Jolie Looking fantastic, but how much of that is due to airbrushing by the magazine? Regardless, a great scan by WWSA.

Keira Knightley Excellent collage by Dann of the young UK star going topless in scenes from "The Hole".

Jennifer Love Hewitt Another sexy pose from her recent appearance in Rolling Stone.

Jessica Simpson Fantastic cleavage from Tuesday night's season premiere of "That 70's Show", by Applecot. (a huge scan, about 475k)

Laura Prepon Also showing a bit of cleavage, as well as some minot pokies from "That 70's Show". Another big'un by Applecot, this time about 500k.

Claudia Schiffer Another great find by Marsie from 1990. The then 20 year old supermodel posing with a bit of areola exposure.

Veronica Ferres The German actress topless in scenes from "Eine ungehorsame Frau" (1997), by UC99.

Heidelinde Weis UC99 takes us back to 1973 for these topless 'caps from "Diamantenparty".

TYCO EXEC'S CALIGULA-ESQUE LIFESTYLE REVEALED
Gay '90s - Tyco International released details of the corporate fraud they uncovered from the reign of indicted ex-chairman L. Dennis Kozlowski. Aside from nearly $100 million in fraudulent bonuses, they found that the company paid to decorate his New York apartment with such items as a $2,200 wastebasket and a $6,000 shower curtain. He also spent $1 million in company funds on his wife's birthday party in Sardinia, including hiring gladiators and buying an ice sculpture of Michelangelo's "David" with vodka streaming from his penis into crystal glasses.

  • It symbolized the "pissing away of money."
  • He could've gotten that cheaper from Siegfried & Roy: they have an icemaker that turns out 12 of them an hour.
  • Do you get the feeling the gladiators at his wife's party were really for him?
  • To be fair, it was a HUGE wastebasket...It had to be, to hold all the shredded documents.


    WHY COLD PIZZA TASTES GOOD
    Finally, Some Worthwhile Research! - Dr. Maureen Cooper of Stirling University in Scotland says she's discovered why cold pizza tastes so good the morning after. It's because tomato puree has fibers that trap water and keep it from seeping into the crust and making it soggy. Since fat and water don't mix, the cheese stays on top of the tomato sauce instead of seeping into it. She said that's why other leftovers without tomato puree don't taste good. For instance, with cold french fries, the fat just congeals.

  • So before you put them in the fridge, coat your fries with ketchup.
  • And I thought cold pizza tasted good the morning after because anything's better than granola.
  • Wow, a woman who devoted her life to studying pizza and french fries! I think I'm in love!


    GENETICISTS TURN FRUIT FLIES GAY
    The Fruit Fly Version Of "Will & Grace - Scientists at the City of Hope Medical Center in California claim they have turned male fruit flies gay through genetic manipulation. They claim that the formerly-straight fruit flies went into courting behavior, tapping each other's abdomens with their forelegs, and touching and licking each other's genitals in a "kind of X-rated line dance."

  • It's the kind of behavior that would get them swatted in most places where there's line-dancing.
  • They just replaced the "fly" gene with an extra "fruit" gene.
  • They also became attracted to bumblebees, which LOOK really gay.
  • Their next science project: turning lady bugs into lesbians.


    PLAYGIRL FEATURES MEN OF ENRON
    Their Stocks Aren't Worth A Roll Of Dimes - Tuesday, Playgirl's "Men of Enron" pictorial hit newsstands. Five current or former Enron employees posed nude or semi-nude. Playgirl wouldn't reveal how much they were paid but said it was more than they made off their stock options. One former Enron broadband intelligence specialist said he went full monty for "a little security," and joked, "If I get a sugar mama out of this, that's great."

  • Typical Enron guy: still trying to grab someone's pension check.
  • He's used to walking around naked: he can't afford clothes.
  • If he'd posed naked in a national magazine, he must already be pretty secure.
  • Appropriately, the Enron guys all came up a little short.


    PLAYBOY RETURNS TO MEXICO
    Market Penetration - Playboy killed their Mexican edition in the 1990s because Mexican stars wouldn't pose nude - one model compared it to prostitution. But thanks to a boom in men's magazines and a slight loosening of Catholic morals, Playboy is reentering Mexico. Editor Manuel Martinez said there's a three-pronged strategy: Appeal to higher-class men who would read it for the articles about fashion and cars...Try to convince Mexican celebrities that it's acceptable to pose nude...And try to convince unknown "girls next door" to defy their macho boyfriends and pose nude to make $5,000 and launch a modeling career.

  • That's not prostitution...Prostitutes sell their bodies for a LOT less.
  • They'll pose topless, but nothing south of the border.
  • If they can't, the first centerfold will be a Mazda Miata.
  • So far, the only Mexican celebrity willing to pose nude is Bumblebee Man.

    Zagat Comes Out With Best Movie List
    Associated Press

    "The Godfather" — not "Citizen Kane" — is the greatest movie of all time, according to a new Zagat survey.

    The "Zagat Movie Guide," which comes out this week, is a collection of the top 1,000 movies, as rated and reviewed by 5,338 movie fans.

    "Casablanca" is No. 2 on the list, followed by "Star Wars," "Gone With the Wind" and "The Shawshank Redemption." "Citizen Kane," which film critics and historians often proclaim as the best movie ever, came in eighth.

    The book follows the same format as Zagat's guides to restaurants, shopping and nightlife, with ratings broken down in terms of acting, story, production and overall quality.

    "The most popular entertainment is still dinner and a movie — now we can finally say we have both activities covered," said Tim Zagat, the chief executive officer and co-chairman of the Zagat Survey.

    "Lawrence of Arabia" was voted the best action film, "Psycho" is the best horror flick, "High Noon" is the favorite Western and "The Wizard of Oz" is the top musical.

    Hey Scoops!

    In that website for the Italian casket maker, Cisa, that Pat Reeder told us about, I found a familiar ... face....

    When you go to their site, scroll down mostly to the bottom, right above the calendar link, it's labelled

    Cofani funebri e fascino

    I checked out the link for the Articolo 109, and look who it was!


    Answering yesterday's Athena Massey question.
    We do have plenty of images of her in the Encylcopedia, but almost all are topless only, with the occasional bare bum, and even a few lesbo scenes, but no frontal exposure.

    Oz pointed out that Scoop 'capped the "Slow Train" episode for the May 5, 2001 issue of the Fun House, but those images are dark and don't reveal any frontal exposure.

    Another reader gave us this info..."Athena Massey's episode of Red Shoe Diaries can be found on the compilation entitled Red Shoe Diaries: Strip Poker. As far as I know it is available in both DVD and VHS at amazon.com."
