For you new faces, a
bit of background. Hunter Thompson wrote abouth
the 60's and early 70's that there were some
weird times, "but it never got weird enough
for me". Our quest here is to find something
weird enough for the good doctor Thompson. How
about NASA'a page telling you how to photograph a
night launch, for those of you planning to see
John Glenn lift off. Click here to see America's
tax dollars at work. Top changes they had
to make to adapt the space program for John Glenn
|
Weird enough for
Doctor Thompson? Sisyphus sent along this link
called "Infrared nude photos". Sort of
a spin-off on those x-ray specs they used to
advertise in the back of comic books |

Madness

Despite the
presence of Samuel L. Jackson, the movie
"187" came and went without
much fanfare. Before it disappeared into
the ether, however, Anfield was able to
rustle up these caps of sexy Karina
Arroyave. Jackson is a real success
story. He's actually 50 years old,
although he looks much younger, and for
his first 12 years in the business he
couldn't have bought his way into a part,
and when he did get work he was
"gang member number two" or
"black guy". He's sure making
up for it now. 49 feature films in the
1990's!!! Things haven't been quite so
busy for Miss Arroyave. I don't think
she's worked since this movie.

now spells her name with the bonus
"e" - "Claire".

Well, this
isn't exactly new material, but SE7EN
just turned his new DVD player on
"The Turning", and whipped up a
passel of very large and clear new caps
of Gillian Anderson's one and only nude
scene, and I hear Gillian may have a fan
or two out there. Speaking of movies, the
annual Scoopy Awards are rushing to a
furious year's end. Unfortunately, there
isn't a lot of tension building, since
only one movie is eligible for best
picture so far, "Poodle
Springs". It is the only movie which
contains both nudity and Joe Don Baker,
our two screening criteria. (The movie
would be eliminated if Joe Don himself
were to be nude). Of course, this is an
excellent year in that we do have a
nominee. I can't remember another
eligible film since 1983's
"Joysticks" (winner of our
Lifetime Achievement Award as the
all-time best movie with both nudity and
Joe Don Baker. Our Citizen Kane.)

This scene is
also familiar to most of you ... Barbara
Crampton on the operating table with the
disembodied head in "The
Re-Animator". But when DonBun takes
on a movie, he adds a new dimension to
the presentation.

Barbara
Crampton in "The Re-Animator".
Hmm... another unrelated thought about
Joe Don Baker. He represents the central
point in the theoretical heirarchy of
roles. In essence, he is the Grade B Fred
Thompson. Here's how it works. Name any
category: U.S. senators. If you need
somebody to play a noble U.S. senator:
Grade A, Fred Thompson. A sleazy U.S.
senator: Grade B, Joe Don Baker. An inept
U.S. Senator: Grade C, Earl Holliman. Now
let's pick another: "characters with
monumental egos". Grade C: cast a
man who thinks he can deny God: Gary
Oldman. Grade B: cast a man who thinks he
can defeat God: William Shatner. Grade A:
cast a man who thinks he is God: Richard
Harris. Thus, William Shatner is the
grade B Richard Harris, which also means
he can play the Richard Harris roles in
lower-grade productions that Harris would
not dignify. I think it is even possible
to cross over cultural lines. For
example, Jeff Daniels is the Grade B
Gerard Depardieu. Other examples: William
Baldwin is the Grade B Alec Baldwin. Adam
Sandler is the Grade B Pauly Shore. Ethan
Hawke is the Grade B Antichrist.

Candy Clark
in "The Man who Fell to Earth".
I watched this recently. Bowie turned in
a completely competent performance, and
there is some stunning photography, but
what a rambling and incoherent movie,
filled with repetition and useless scenes
focusing on unimportant characters. Runs
140 minutes, and I'll bet you somebody
with a computer and a VCR and no
knowledge of how to direct could turn it
into an good 90 minute movie. Which is
what the studio should have done in the
first place!

from Recap.
Miss Elizabeth in "Summer Slam
88". When Recap posted this, he
noted that it was shocking by 1988
standards when Elizabeth stripped off her
skirt and showed her panties. Given the
recent activities of some of the rasslin'
babes, this seems like a quaint reminder
of a gentler, forgotten time. Sort of
like a trip to England.

You thought
those were obscure? How about Ursula

"Zur Sache, Schätzchen". This
movie was marketed in English as "Go
for it, baby". (No nudity)
|
Obscure? How
about Joanna Jung in 1974's "Wenn
Mädchen zum Manöver blasen". This
movie was marketed in English as
"When Girls Trumpet for
Manoeuvres". Call me crazy, but I've
generally found that, when translating
something into English, it is worthwhile
to hire somebody who actually speaks
English.

Feliciano. Obscure scream sub-queen. IMDb

she is part of the repertory company of
Falcon Video, and starred in a no-budget

Hell", which starred her, three baby
goats dressed up as horses, an obscure
Carradine, some high school kids, and
Robert Goulet. Actually, I'm kidding
about Goulet. He read for a part, but was
edged out by one of the goats.

one last Eva
Cadell. She's probably had as interesting
a life as anyone else I can think of. She
was smuggled out of Hungary as an infant
during the 1956 revolution. She was
dumped in an orphanage until her real
grandmother found her. Her granny was a
servant, and Eva was raised doing menial
jobs. She broke free, though, and since
then, she's made Sidaris movies, done
magazine modeling, gotten a black belt in
karate, and even gotten a degree from
"The American College of
Sexology". What more can ya say?

French twists |
The French
certainly have a unique cultural approach
to cinema nudity. These scenes from
"Mon bel amour, ma déchirure"
feature a mainstream actress named
Catherine Wilkening in some extraordinary
gynecological poses, yet Charlie (the
vidcapper) points out on his site that
this movie is rated the equivalent of the
US PG-13. Even if the rest of the movie
were as innocent as "The Sound of
Music", these scenes alone would, I
think, cause a movie to get an NC-17 or
to settle for an NR in The States. In
addition, it is hard to imagine any
mainstream Stateside actress who would
allow photography this intimate. I can't
even remember seeing anything like this
from the queens of the indies and the
made-for-cable flicks.

a legendary
scene in film history. The Movie:
Macbeth. Director: Roman Polanski.
Actress: one of my personal favorites,
the ultimate Britbabe, Francesca Annis.
(well, actually her mom is Brazilian, but
who cares?) The scene: sleepwalking.
Heaven knows how many women have
performed this scene, but not that many
have done it stark naked on camera. I
suppose it wouldn't have been possible in
Shakespeare's day, when the female roles
were commonly performed by men.
|
The elegant
Britbabe, Charlotte Rampling, in Zardoz.
Hey, female viewers of the Funhouse. This
movie is about 100 minutes long, and Sean
Connery spends the first 99 minutes in
his little red underpants. Doesn't do it
for me, but maybe your kinda
entertainment.
|
One very
brief peek of Rampling in Zardoz.

Sara
Kestelman in Zardoz. I never heard of her
so I looked her up. Mysterious career.
Had some lead roles like this one back in
the 70's (Zardoz released in 1973,
apparently her first feature). Then from
1978-1986, not one mention of her
anywhere. She gradually started to work
again, and now, at about age 50, she must
be on the air about every minute in the
U.K., as she is listed in the cast of
four mini-series in the last year.

A true

Grace Jones was out there forging the
cutting edge of performance art. As a

whip. What did you expect? A sun dress
and a pitcher of iced tea?
