Once again, Johnny does an exceptional job, and once again the nudity is copious.

Karen Black and Sally Kellerman make sexy but non-nude appearances in some of these 1978 Australian movies. Kellerman’s role involves a see-through from a film called Magee and the Lady.

To find Johnny’s reviews of previous years, just scroll down from 1978.

This and the next few posts will be from Defoe’s summary of the 14th Nikon Festival. The Nikon Film Festival is an annual competitive event for very short films. The length of each film must be between 120 and 140 seconds, the resolution must be at least 1080hd, and all films must be on the festival’s chosen theme, which was “Fire” for the 2024 season. There is no limit to the number of entries a filmmaker may submit.

Defoe’s 2160hd film clip here.

Edouard Manet’s Olympia has been re-created many times in many media. This is one of the best. I can imagine that Manet’s model looked very much like this, right down to the stubby fingers.

Defoe’s clip from this film is here.

Marion Cadeau is a beautiful model. She looks like a young Jaqueline Bisset, ginger version.

I really hope this is an internet hoax:

When asked about the price tag, a local Balenciaga sales representative, Geoffrey Spicoli, replied:


The pitch:

“Louison devours life at both ends. Bipolar, she often attacks Orso who is madly in love with her. He knows that all this will end badly, but he wants to believe it. The day Louison disappears, everything collapses. Distraught, Orso calls Mara, Louison”s twin sister. Their relationship is ambiguous. Mara lives in the house as much as her sister, but they never cross paths. What game is Mara playing? Orso is lost and will have to go to the end of this two-faced passion to free himself and finally find the light.”

Lots of nudity, not many light bulbs.

CNN:

A state representative in Michigan claimed on social media on Wednesday night that he had photo evidence of “illegal invaders” arriving at Detroit Metro Airport. One of the two photos he posted on X showed an Allegiant Air plane. The other photo showed three buses. He wrote: “Happening right now. Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort?”

The illegal invaders turned out to be the Gonzaga basketball players, who were arriving to play in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament.

When somebody pointed out his error, the dim-witted pol responded (I’m not making this up): “Sure kommie. Good talking point.”
