Oh, sure, you paparazzi can get some obscure social media “influencer” in focus with top-of-the-line cameras, but when it comes to big stars, the only available camera is your great-grandpa’s old Kodak Brownie.

“English singer Mae Muller showing off her nipples in a see-through top as she attends the Susan Fang fashion show in London!”
Sample:
As you probably know, her breasts are Brobdingnagian1, and here they are, out in good light, with no tease.
1 – This has been your obscure Jonathan Swift reference of the day. “Brobdingnagian” is the opposite of “Lilliputian.” The Blefuscudians did not earn their own adjective.
I think it is real flesh-and-blood, and she looks mah-velous.
I haven’t seen this one. These links came from Reddit. I have assumed the IDs to be correct, but can offer no guarantees.
She has really great breasts, but this is the only time she ever gave us a good look.

About a year later she did a rear nude scene in an episode of The Americans (s1e8), and her breasts were visible from the side.
She looked just as good from behind. What a body!
Here is the film clip from The Americans

Defoe’s film clip is here.
As usual, he covers everything from the legendary sex films like Fantasm Comes Again to recently unearthed rarities like Illuminations, to mainstream films from award winners like Bruce Beresford and Peter Weir.
(To find the previous years, just scroll down from 1977.)
No true nudity, but some near-misses. She is naked (I guess) in that scene where the old nun slaps her, but it’s a side-view with an uninterrupted arm bra. The HD version will be better, but … well … not that much better.
This is a new series from Spain, AKA Turkish Passion. As you probably know, passion is Turkey’s #2 export, right after taffy.

This is a remake of the legendary Patrick Swayze film from the 80s, this time starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Dalton. It follows the same general pitch-line as the original:
Thoughtful tough guy is hired to clean up a local bar terrorized by some thugs. The baddies are employed by a local plutocrat who wants to scare the roadhouse owner away for some greedy reason or another.
Gyllenhaal is an accomplished performer, and Doug Liman is the established, respected director of such films as The Bourne Identity, so the film is professional and workmanlike. The action set pieces are excellent and sometimes epic. The fight scenes are filmed and choreographed skillfully.
Unfortunately, this film lacks the subversive humor, the batshit-crazy characterization, the offbeat dialogue, and the generally loony originality of the Swayze version. Swayze’s Dalton was a confident, well-to-do Doctor of Philosophy, steeped in Zen thought, master of every one of the martial arts. He wore Armani suits and drove a top-of-the-line Mercedes. The new Dalton is a mopey, broke, guilt-ridden ex-fighter who travels by Greyhound bus and probably buys his clothes at Goodwill.
Yawn.
“Roadhouse is a cinema classic and one of the most entertaining movies ever made. I doubt whether making a great comedy was the original intention, but as gamblers say, “The cards speak for themselves.” It is the White Trash Hamlet; the Redneck Romeo and Juliet; Macbeth with a Mullet; Much Ado about NASCAR; Timon of Athens, Georgia.
The new Road House is not that at all. If the first version seemed to be written by a literate, half-mad carnival geek while watching a monster truck rally, the new one seems to be written by a marketing manager with good A.I. software and a copy of “How to Sell Your Generic Script.”
Or to put it another way – the new one was created by taking the original Road House and stripping away all the fun.

The nudity is as lackluster as the script, again paling in comparison to the sexy original. By clipping a tiny section of the 4K version, I can produce this:
But what you see as you watch the actual film is this:
Yawn again.
You older readers may remember Danielle from her juvenile roles on All in the Family and Archie’s Place, for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination. She had grown up and filled out quite nicely by the time she did this topless scene, which was lensed just after her 19th birthday. (IMDb says it was filmed in July of 1988, and she was born June 28, 1969. Her previous topless scene, in Big Bad Mama II, was lensed in April of 1987 per IMDb, when she was still 17.)
I had assumed that we would never see this straight-to-vid release on a Blu-Ray, because it was never even issued on DVD, but here it is, from Dark Force Entertainment, which specializes in forgotten films like this. This Blu-Ray is not some cheap rip-off, like an upscaled VHS tape. Dark Force must have scored an original print or negative, because the quality is solid. This is the second recent high-quality Blu-Ray release that caught me by surprise, the other being The Man Who Wasn’t There, which featured extensive nudity from Lisa Langlois. Perhaps there is a film restorer obsessed with women whose last names end in -ois.
The movie itself had been forgotten for a good reason: it is fourth-rate in every respect. For viewers interested in matters unrelated to quality, Kill Crazy does include a few guilty pleasures.
First, there is the topless nudity from Danielle and an actress named Rachelle Carson, who later married Ed Begley, Jr. Ms. Carson is still active in films and TV, and I think this was her only nudity in a long career. Brisebois left acting to concentrate on her music career, in which she got the Oscar nomination that had eluded her as an actress. (2015. Best Original Song; for “Lost Stars” from Begin Again.)
Second, the cast includes some nostalgic choices. There are two of the sweathogs from Welcome Back, Kotter: Epstein and Washington. There is Laugh-In’s Gary Owens. There is Burt Ward, who played Robin in the campy Batman show. Those people are not just nostalgic from today’s perspective. They were already nostalgic choices when this film was released in 1990, since their heyday was in the sixties and seventies. Washington (Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs) never became a major star, but he has endured and is still in demand today at age 70. Burt Ward still shows up now and then, often as a mature Dick Grayson or as Robin’s voice in cartoons, even though he is nearly 80 years old. Epstein (Robert Hegyes) and Gary Owens are no longer with us.
