Johnny Moronic did some new collages from a scene that is sure to make our end-of-year list.

The series has already been renewed for a second season, but I don’t know whether they have a dramatic fulcrum that justifies one. The first season was a nice, tidy, self-contained story with a full resolution.

This situation reminds me of the first season of Californication, which was perfect, therefore earning more seasons. But the writers basically had to create a new series from scratch, because that season was a nice, tidy, self-contained story with a full resolution. Oh, the rest of the series was fine, but it was never the same.

There are lots of series where I can’t wait to see that they do with what they’ve created: House of Ashur and Pluribus come to mind. But in this case, I feel the characters are solid, and the cast is super, but the story is finished, so yeah, I’ll give the second season a try, but I would not have been disappointed if the series had been canceled.

Drama and psychological thriller

Long-buried wounds rise to the surface when iconic pop star Mother Mary reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer, Sam Anselm, on the eve of her comeback performance.

IMDb: 6.1
Tomato meter: 70%
Popcorn meter: 59%

Every time I see Donald Trump’s approval rating, I wonder, “Who are the 37% that still approve?” I feel the same way about the 59% Popcorn meter for this film. Somebody has to be gaming that score. Who are the 59% of average movie-goers that like this film? This movie is so pretentious that Andrew Lloyd Webber is probably turning it into a West End musical as I type. If it were any more pretentious, Tarkovsky would come back from the grave to claim it. Even the nude scene is pretentious. I can understand some critics liking it because they are, as a general lot, highly susceptible to anything with artistic aspirations. They invariably kow-tow to “artists,” perhaps to establish their own intellectual bona fides, which they would pronounce “BO-na FEE-dess,” as if they were Cicero declaiming in the senate.

I got through the first half, which ends approximately with Hathaway’s nude scene, then resolved to watch no more, unless somebody tells me that Hathaway poses Hustler-style in the second half. After investing an hour in it, I wasn’t even remotely interested to find out how it came out, because the characters are so detached and lifeless that it wouldn’t matter to me whether they all found love and happiness, or the Texas Chainsaw guy came in and started chopping them up.

There is an OK look at her butt. I assume it is Hathaway. I haven’t read anything that would suggest a double, but between the darkness and the strobe effect, it could be anyone in Hollywood, possibly excepting Danny McBride.

Here is a video of the actual nude scene.

Here is a video representing my guess as to what it would look like if Paul Verhoeven had directed the film in the 1990s.

Emily Feld in the House of Silk 2026 campaign. That is a beautiful form. She’s so perfect it looks like one of those Greek statues of Aphrodite, albeit a little thinner.

Italian melodrama known in English as The Things Left Unspoken.

6.8 at IMDb.

The tagline:

A look at the razor-thin line between good and evil, and what flows between them, often sweeping through our lives like a raging river.

Whatever that means. It tells me nothing about the film, which I have not seen.

This was about three years after her legendary nude performance in Lifeforce

————-

Here’s a small sample of the Lifeforce performance mentioned above. She was 19 at the time.

Here are HD videos from both the theatrical release and the “director’s cut.”

The “Director’s Cut” (often called the International Cut) of Lifeforce is approximately 15 minutes longer than the US theatrical release, featuring more in-depth scenes in the alien spacecraft, enhanced violence, extended erotic moments, and a significantly different musical score. It is generally regarded as a more cohesive film. The Director’s Cut supposedly “includes more explicit scenes involving the space girl (Mathilda May) and the infected Prime Minister.” Just from a quick glance through them, I didn’t see the difference.

These scenes were shite, but there was better nudity in season one.

The people who hack these leaks seem to have turned their attention to soccer stars lately. Kelci-Rose plays in an English league.

There was no true nudity this week, but La Cid came close.
