Much has been made of Sharon Stone’s interrogation scene in Basic Instinct (1992), as well as her other sex and nudity in that film.

  • For the general public, the leg-uncrossing beaver shot has reached beyond cinema to achieve the status of universal cultural recognition. If anybody mentions it in casual conversation, the others in the room will immediately grasp the reference.
  • For those who love movies, it is probably one of the iconic moments in film history, right up there with the chess game in the Seventh Seal or Judy Garland singing to Clark Gable’s picture.

The widespread renown of the Stone scene has caused people to overlook a really hot rough scene between Michael Douglas and Jeanne Tripplehorn

It’s only December, the beginning of Aussie summer, and temperatures are reaching all-time highs. “Several locations are forecast to reach 48C during the next few days

48 centigrade is almost 120 in god-fearin’ non-commie degrees.

To make matters worse, the massive natural bushfire problem is being exacerbated by arsonists. (Their crazies don’t have as many guns as America’s, but they still have matches.)

Counselor Troi shows off a lovely figure in the role of a prostitute in that unforgettable screen nonpareil, Blind Date (1984), from director Nico Mastorakis.

UPDATE: There is also some Kirstie Alley nudity in that film, and she looked incredible!

I don’t like the films of Nico Mastorakis, to say the least, although I believe I can state unequivocally that Island of Death is the Citizen Kane of goat-fucking films. Nico’s tastes are, to put it mildly, eclectic. One of his non-goat-fucking films stars Zsa Zsa Gabor, Billy Barty, Shannon Tweed, Dick Gautier, Yvonne De Carlo, Erik Estrada, Norman Fell, Lou Ferrigno, Little Richard and Bubba Smith.

It’s really a shame that none of them got to fuck a goat. There are some great possibilities there.

On the other hand, Nico’s DVD commentaries are really entertaining – filled with great and unfiltered behind-the-scenes stories and gossip. Who can resist stories about the exploits of the noted wastrel, Oliver Reed, who worked with Nico in Hired to Kill? Of course, the sad part of that is that Oliver Reed pissed away all that great talent so completely that he had to appear in a Nico Mastorakis movie.

Although he never had to fuck a goat.

But from what I have read about Oliver Reed, he wouldn’t have hesitated to do so.

Even when the cameras were not rolling.

There is no significant division about this. Democrats, Republicans and Independents agree with this in nearly equal measure. (64% of Republicans agree.)

My take:

(1) Doesn’t matter. Even if 100% of Americans agreed on this, it would make no difference. It ain’t gonna happen.

(2) As I’ve said from the beginning, there is zero chance that Trump will be removed. That’s just reality.

Let’s assume Trump killed and butchered Tom Hanks, then dug up and sodomized the corpse of Ronald Reagan, then gave Putin a hand job and allowed him to jizz on a picture of Jesus – all on live TV – and then gave Alaska back to Russia. Even then you could not get 67 Senators to vote for his removal. To be fair though, Susan Collins would do even more hand-wringing than usual before voting for his acquittal.

Rudy has absolutely no sense of shame. Not only did he force her out of a job she was doing well, but he’s now publicly accusing her of corruption.

Worse still, he just can’t keep his stories straight.

He told the New Yorker, “I believed that I needed Yovanovitch out of the way.”

He told Laura Ingraham, “I didn’t need her out of the way”
