"Dancing at the Blue Iguana"

Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2000) is such a massive project, I had to break it into two parts. Tonight is dedicated to Daryl Hannah, who should be an inspiration to women everywhere as proof that maturing is not necessarily getting old. She is in superb shape, and did a masterful job in developing this character. She had "blonde moments," such as asking a cop to help her get into her locked car when she had pot in plane site, drunk moments, serious moments, and passionate moments, and sold them all with subtlety.

As for my opinion of this film, read Scoops review from last night, as I don't know how to say it better. What a shame they didn't hire some writing talent to tie up lose ends and put some order into this film. That could have turned an interesting effort with lots of nudity and some good acting into a very good film.

    "Up Against Amanda"

    Up Against Amanda (2000) is a grade B Play Misty for Me/Fatal attraction film from Roger Corman's New Concord releasing. Justine Priestley plays the deranged stalker, and shows both breasts and buns, first in a mirror, then in a love scene. Don't put a lot of faith in the IMDB score of 9.2 of 10, as the entire cast voted already. It is more like a 6.2 of 10, 2 1/2 stars, C film, that is, it is watchable, but not memorable, and covers little new ground, although she did in a shrink in a creative and fitting way. Amanda was repeatedly molested by her step father, until she accidently shot him 9 times with a six-shooter. They put her in a mental hospital, where her shrink seduced her. She put up with it, realizing that it would eventually get her out. She makes short work of him after her release, then falls for the next door neighbor, whose singer wife is away on tour. You know the rest of the story from other similar films.

    It had more the feel of a made for TV film, and was 4/3 aspect ratio, but was, on the whole, well filmed. The wife's character sang some excellent blues (not her voice). As near as I can tell, it played the festival circuit then went straight to vid.

    New Releases:

    "A Girl Thing" is now out on DVD. It was a showtime mini-series about a psychiatrist. I can't see much noteworthy about the four hours of material on the DVD. If I wanted to see four hours of tiresome self-examination, I'd watch Branagh's Hamlet. The one thing that that should have redeemed it, a love scene between Kate Capshaw and Elle, is ruined by the pitiful DVD transfer, which seems worse than my broadcast tapes. I don't know who does Showtime's DVD's, but Showtime needs to dump them (that Ayn Rand thing was also weak) and hire the people who do HBO's (which have been uniformly excellent). This DVD is so bad, I would have thrown these images out if it was the usual suspects, but it was Elle!

     

    Other DVD's:

    I decided to upgrade some of the caps in the Encyclopedia, so here's "A Helen Mirren tribute" (all new material):

    The Cook, The Thief, his Wife, and Her Lover. two of these are from the trailer, and did not appear in the film (#202,  and #205), although there are nearly identical frames in the movie. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

    Caligula (the first is a pretty good full frontal, the other is a butt shot from the unused footage, captured from the "making of" documentary) (1, 2)

    The Passion of Ayn Rand (the second one is a nipple-slip that I missed the first time I did this!) (1, 2)

    Excalibur (1, 2, 3)

    Hankster
    Scoops,

    Back to the "Babes in Bondage" series.

    Here's a second look at "Brand of Shame". I re-did my 'caps and added some additional scenes of Samantha Scott. Apparently this movie has quite a cult following.

    Today's odds and ends....

    First up, a bunch of actress playing strippers. Or is that strippers playing actress? Either way, they're all topless in the movie "Kandyland".

  • Catlyn Day
  • Chrissy Ratay
  • Kim Evenson (former rabbitmate, Sept '84)


    Next up...from the movie "Getting It On" (1983). I have no explanation for this one. My best guess is that back in '83 when the straight-to vid industry was still young, this must have been a film never intended to reach the theaters. There is not one recognizable name in the cast. In fact most of the cast only have this movie as a film credit. The handful of actors who went on to other movies, were typically cast in "Third guy in bar" roles.

    All three links have breast exposure, but honestly...unless you actually know these ladies, it's nothing to get excited about.

  • Patricia Arquette wears 'pubic wig' for naked comedy role

    Patricia Arquette wore a wig over her privates for her new movie.

    The "pubic wig" was designed specially for Arquette's role in the comedy "Human Nature". The unusual hairpiece was stitched onto her underwear.

    The 33-year-old actress plays a scientific researcher with an unsightly bodily hair problem in the film. To hide her shame she goes off to live as an outcast, after stumbling on a man brought up as an ape in a remote American backwater.

    The role demanded that Arquette spend much of the movie semi-naked. But she couldn't pluck up the courage to reveal all on a daily basis.

    She told Ananova: "It was totally my idea. I came up with this pubic rug or hair piece, which was stitched on to my panties.

    "I think you can safely say it was just the job. Then, with the aid of a few pieces of sticky tape, we solved the boob problem.

    "I think the pubic hairpiece caused quite a stir, especially when I was posing for publicity photos. The guys couldn't take their eyes off it."

    "Human Nature", which was directed by Michel Gondry, is due for release in the UK in March. It also stars Tim Robbins as a scientist trying to unlock the mind of the modern day neanderthal played by Rhys Ifans.

  • A Real News Item (sorta)
  • "GOD OF GARBAGE" ARRESTED

    Trash Talk - Mizuo Tamura, an environmental department manager with the city of Kajiki, Japan, takes garbage seriously...maybe too seriously. He's such a stickler for recycling rules, he's been nicknamed the "God of Garbage." And now he's been arrested after he allegedly threatened a bar owner at knifepoint for not separating his trash properly. He was charged with breaking the firearms and swords control law.
