"Naked Jane"
Naked Jane (1995) was a first effort from writer, director, editor Linda Kandel that was first screened at Sundance. It is decidedly an art film, but manages to be intriguing. It is basically the story of a dysfunctional woman (Renee Stahl) who types for a living, writes in her spare time, and is trying o get over the death of her father, and a long separation from her model boyfriend. Her life suddenly gets more interesting when she meets another man.
She half narrates the story, and it is all about knowing what is going on in her head. This is a very unique view of a woman in transition, and Kandel obviously knew her character very well. Stahl, in her first credited role, managed to become a sympathetic character, and showed all of her body parts along the way. Barbara Planck, as a stripper, also turned in a 3 B performance. Peta Wilson also appeared in a small role early in her career.
A very few IMDb readers have this at 8.1 of 10, which only shows that mainstream viewers have stayed away so far. Some of the photography is lovely, and I enjoyed the intimate portrait of this woman. It was also a plus that you had to figure it out as you went along, rather than being spoon fed the plot points. This is a C+ as an art house film, but many of you will want to skip it.

The Soft Kill (1994):
I wrote of this film yesterday. Mediocre movie, maybe worse than
mediocre, but there are two highlights worth seeing: (1) Michael
Harris's never-seen sex scene with the mysterious Judith Ziehn (2)
Carrie-Anne Moss's first screen nudity.
Here are some film clips of those two scenes in convenient .zipped
.wmv format.
-
Carrie-Anne Moss. What a shame that Carrie-Anne never showed her
incredible breasts straight on in good light. At the 1994 stage in
her life, they were full and round and just magnificent. I suppose
it is too late now. What a loss!
-
Judith Ziehn and Michael Harris. Some crazy, frenetic softcore
action which had no place in the film at all, and which nobody seems
to have seen until now. Harris's dick even makes some guest
appearances as the two of them act out the Kama Sutra in a scene
eerily similar to the puppet sex scene in Team America.
Paradise (1982):
Phoebe Cates and Willie Aames play two young teens who are on a
caravan between Baghdad and Damascus in the early 19th century. The
caravan is attacked by marauders, and the two teens end up as the
only survivors. Their escape does not please the Evil Arab
Ransacking Dude, because he is a white slaver, and the main reason
he attacked the caravan was to get Phoebe Cates in the first place.
Of course, before he sells her, he plans to ... well, you
know.
The two teens miraculously live through their solo
trek in the desert, and they eventually settle down and build
magnificent living quarters out of palm fronds and dates. Evil Arab
Ransacking Dude pursues them, and captures Cates, but Aames rescues
her, and they run off to create an even more impressive camp out of
sand and coconuts. This time they settle on the coast of the
Mediterranean, which is no simple matter when one considers the
precise route from Baghdad to Damascus. They learn about sex, they
adopt a family of chimps, they encounter the Evil Arab Ransacking
Dude again, and ...
Oh, who am I kidding? There is really only one reason for this film
to exist - Phoebe Cates gets naked constantly. She showers naked
under several different waterfalls, walks naked around their deluxe
hut, swims naked near colorful coral reefs, bathes naked in lagoons,
wades naked in the Mediterranean, has sex with Willie Aames ...
I guess some of you may also enjoy looking at Willie
Aames naked. I know when I used to watch Aames and Van Patten in Eight is Enough, I'd think
to myself, I gotta see willie and dick, if you catch my drift, but that was a deeply
troubled time in my life. Strangely enough, my dream has been
deferred once more, since Willie's willie has been digitally blurred
in every scene on the Asian DVD. The IMDb says that this was simply
done in the DVD mastering process.
Phoebe Cates certainly made an interesting, unique
contribution to cinema nudity. Basically, she spent the entire year
of 1982 naked (this film plus Fast Times at Ridgemont High), and
then kept her clothes on for the rest of her career, which was only
about a dozen years. Then she retired to raise a family, and hasn't
really been seen on screen with or without clothing for a decade. So her
entire collection of nude scenes was packed into a single year. But
what a year! It is possible to argue that her nudity in this film is
the all-time summit of celebrity nudity in film. She was 19 years
old and as cute as
a button, she looked even younger and
sufficiently virginal to fulfill any man's schoolgirl fantasies (no
wonder this film went to DVD in Japan before any other country!),
her body was flawless and natural, and there was no tease. She
showed everything again and again.
There is one other positive feature of this film: the
locations and cinematography are interesting. The director found
some beautiful locations in the desert, and the cinematographer did
a great job on photographing them, as he did on photographing Phoebe.
The rest of the film? Well, the story is ridiculous and maudlin, and
their co-stars are a family of chimps. The acting is terrible.
The Arab guys are one-dimensional villains. Phoebe herself is simply not that good
an actress, but she seems like Siobhan
McKenna compared to Willie Aames. Come to think of it, the chimps
seemed like the Royal Shakespeare Company compared to Willie Aames.
I notice that the distinguished Lord Aames basically called it a
career in 1986 or 87, except for a couple of Eight is Enough Reunion
shows, and has been living in Portland.
In 1999, he tried a bit of a showbiz comeback by writing and
directing and starring in Bible Man, "a Christian video series
designed for children ages 3-9," who are presumably too young to
criticize his acting. That series of videos then expanded into a
Bibleman road show, which Aames starred in until 2003, when he
announced that he would be stepping down from the part of Bibleman
in the touring production in order to spend more time with his
family. Presumably to enjoy his kids while they are still too young
to realize he sucks.

Words from Scoop.
.avi's from Shiloh.
.wmv files made by Scoop from Shiloh's .avi's.
NOTE: because of a unique combination of
circumstances with the Windows media player and some substantial
bandwidth theft, we will have to do all of our movie files in zip
format. Left click on the files as you normally would to view a
picture. When
you get a choice, click on "save", and put it on your hard drive in
the directory of your choice. UnZIP and play from there.
I know this is not especially convenient, but it
allows the film clips to continue. I can protect .zip files from
hot-linking in the same way I can protect still images. For some
reason, if I protect .avis and .wmvs from hot-linking, they will not
play in the Windows media player, and I can't get a satisfactory
work-around. Perhaps I will find a better solution, but for now this
new policy allows you to continue getting the movie clips you want
to see, which is much preferable to my abandoning the clips
altogether.
Diane Keaton tribute - Day 1
Long before Something's Gotta Give, Diane showed
some skin in Looking for Mr Goodbar. We haven't discussed this much,
since the film has never been issued on DVD, but it was probably
Diane's sexiest role.
Here are the first two clips.
Perhaps these tips will help if you have trouble
with the codecs for these movies:
Shiloh says:
FYI when I hypercam vids to make the file size smaller I use
DivX MPEG-4 Fast-Motion for the video compressor, then I use
virtualdub to compress the audio. The properties for the
vids says the video codec: DivX Decoder Filter & audio
codec: Morgan Stream Switcher which I'm not familiar with.
When I compress the audio with virtualdub I use MPEG
Layer-3. A friend of mine told me about compressing the
audio about (6) mos. ago. Like I said previously, only been
capping for a year & a half & I'm no expert. Hopefully this
info will help members with the proper codecs for my vids.
When I cap big brother's I use hypercam mostly & sdp &
asfrecorder if the set up allows me. I stopped using
camtasia cause the file sizes were always too big, could
never figure out the process, over my head lol, plus it cost
too much to buy in my opinion.
A reader says:
You mentioned that some users were
having trouble with the videos on your site. There is a tool
designed to determine what codec is needed for a video.
http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ Hope this is useful to you
or your users.
Scoop says:
I made the .wmv versions of each video. The codecs for these: Windows Video V8, Windows Audio 9.
The upside of these is that you know the codecs, and they'll play in
the Windows Media Player. The downside is that they are slightly
larger, and slightly lower quality.

Hi Scoopy !
Just a short update on this election day. Don't worry, it won't be
about politics.
I've almost (just a few extras left) worked my way through the
entire 10 disk box set of Xena Warrior Princess Season 4 (Region
1). Unfortunately there was't much happening in the nudity
department. Only Hudson Leick, who was in just one episode, showed
a bit of her bum in "The Ides of March" in which we learn that
Xena was behind the murder of Caesar, and gives us a nipple peak
in the photo gallery on disk one.
The best part should have been in the bloopers on disk 8. Rob
Tapert, the show's producer, tells us in the extras that there's a
scene in which Renee O'Connor ended up completely naked in front
of the cameras due to an error of a crew member. He wanted to
include this scene, although with Renee's naughty bits blurred,
but his wife Lucy Lawless vetoed it. And Rob probably didn't want
an argument with Xena.
So I had to choose another clip of a clothed Renee from the
bloopers that is particularly fit for this election day, certainly
now that both candidates are equal in the polls. You see,
Gabrielle has to say to some local dude in charge: "Looks like now
you're gonna get a real election". Let's watch how Renee stuffs
this one up, shall we.
So just to be on the safe side guys, don't stand to close in line
to the person in front of you when you're going to vote.
That's all for now.
Yours faithfully,
|

Pat's comments in yellow...
HEFMATE FIRED FOR SLEEPING WITH CLINTON
Quaking With Indignation - The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that former
Miss Arkansas and Hef-mag centerfold Myra Belle Miller is suing the West
Chester Meeting of Friends, a Quaker organization for which she worked as
director of fundraising and PR. She claims she was subjected to sexual
harassment and religious discrimination after Miller admitted in 1992 to
having once had a three-month affair with Bill Clinton. She says she was
fired after complaining to the EEOC.
They directed her to the department that handles all the women who've
had affairs with Bill Clinton.
This is ridiculous...What former Miss Arkansas HASN'T had an affair with
Bill Clinton?!
If we start firing women just because they've slept with Bill Clinton,
no work will ever get done.
So the posing nude, the Quakers had no problem with?
POP STAR DEMANDS HER SEX VIDEO BE SHOWN IN COURT
Cherry Pop - Severina Vuckovic, a top Croatian pop star with a prim,
religious image, asked that a video of her having sex with a married
business tycoon be played in court. She's suing a porn website that posted
the stolen tape, which has now been downloaded 10 million times. She wants
it shown in court to prove they violated her copyright. The owner of the
porn site also wants it shown, but to prove she shows no "new sexual art"
that hasn't been seen before in the porn industry and is therefore
copyrightable.
In fact, everybody wants it shown, except the married business tycoon.
He claims that all her sexual positions were copied from Madonna.
Paris Hilton could've told her: ALWAYS copyright your sex tapes!
ROCK GROUP PAYS FOR ALBUM WITH THONG SALES
Thong Songs - The new album by the British rock group The Darkness was paid
for by thongs. The band has sold so much merchandise, including black
G-strings with their logo at $18 (US) each, that they made enough money to
pay for recording the album and going on tour, even if they sell no
records. The music merchandising website Recordstore.com calls it "a new
business model."
Nothing is better for sales than combining a new model and a G-string.
In fact, they may stop recording albums completely and go into the
lingerie business.
"LORD OF THE RINGS" ALL NIGHT LONG
Dress As A Hobbit And Sing "The Time Warp" - On two weekends in November at
London's Imax theater, the British Film Institute will show the entire
"Lord of the Rings" trilogy in one marathon, overnight showing. The
manager said, "The idea is for cinema goers to be able to spend an entire
night in Middle Earth."
These people spend their entire lives in Middle Earth.
It's not like they've got anyplace better to spend the night... like
with a woman.
