Mix of older material and some hot off the presses. Some is tame, some explicit.
Fariba Sheikhan in Disforia (2025)
Dystopian Spanish thriller about the end times.
A young couple flee with their 8-year-old daughter. They’re headed to a rural home they purchased before their world changed drastically. Their initial plan is to sell the home and move from their native Spain to France. When they arrive, things do not go as anticipated. The arrival of the mysterious Vera makes their trip to the new home far stranger than they imagined.

There is some nudity in season two of Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine, but with no ID
In the second season of the Money Heist prequel, Berlin reunites with his crew to Seville for a new heist targeting a valuable Da Vinci painting.
This scene is from s2e4:
Natalia Solián topless in episode 2 of Futuro Desierto
A combination of family drama and near-future, dystopian thriller set in rural Mexico, Futuro Desierto follows a robotics engineer who moves with his family to a rural part of Mexico to carry out in secret the first tests on androids which can’t be distinguished from human beings. The tests affect the way humans, sensing the androids as a threat, interact not only with them but also with one another.
‘Spartacus: House Of Ashur’ Canceled By Starz
One factor that led to this cancellation is that Starz does not own House of Ashur. The situation is tricky. Lionsgate owned Starz and Ashur at the start of last year, but they spun Starz off while retaining the rights to Ashur. Starz basically told its former masters — “Eh, no dice. We ain’t getting into the position of being forced to pay you for something you originally created for us.”
That left Lionsgate in the position of trying to peddle it elsewhere.
Lionsgate Television is in the process of trying to secure another network or streaming service that could potentially save the series.
Is it marketable? Frankly, that’s not going to be an easy sell. Ashur is not family-friendly fare for general audiences. Lionsgate would have to find somebody interested in acquiring an unabashedly sexual and violent series that targets a niche audience. There hasn’t been much of a market for that kind of fare at the big streamers recently.
If you bet on Patel, you lost
Most people thought that Patel would be the next major administration figure out the door. I don’t think the markets were counting on Gabbard leaving for a completely legitimate personal reason. Patel is still considered the most likely to be gone by year’s end.
Some news reports say that her stated reason is a pretext, that she wanted out because of her opposition to the Iran attacks, and that Trump wanted her gone for the same reason.
AI is evil, part ∞
Earlier today, Dr. Gumby brought to my attention that Johnny Moronic had covered a seldom-seen alternate cut of Alien Visitor (1996) that included quite a bit of extra nudity from Ullie Birve.
Here is an example of a brief but excellent scene. (Apparently only available in DVD quality.) In the cut seen more often, her lower body appears only momentarily in this scene, too briefly to see without the pause button. But you get a lingering look in this version. While the real clip is not the topic at hand here, we can’t fail to note that Ullie had a great figure. You have to love the way her large natural breasts bounce.
Anyway … I thought to ask AI for something way beyond my video editing capability – “Imagine this scene in daylight, with natural skin tones.” Here is the result. I have to stress here that this scene never existed. It is a complete fake, a product of pure AI invention, loosely based on the real scene above.
But it’s just about perfect. The only real flaw in it is that the guy, Syd Brisbane, speaks with an American accent. He’s really an Aussie, as you might guess from the unlikely name of Sydney Brisbane. The accent could have been fixed if I had given the proper instructions, but I had no idea the fuckin’ AI thing was going to invent dialogue.
I was skeptical of you prophets of AI doom, but you Cassandras are absolutely right. Your paranoia is not paranoia at all. It is merely a recognition of reality. In a year or two, we will have no idea whether an actress got naked. We won’t even know whether she was really in the movie with the other actors, or was just strolling around her back yard for images to be altered later and inserted into the movie’s context. Shit, I might put myself in Casablanca in place of Bogie!
Scary shit.
Say, I wonder if Sydney Brisbane’s middle name is Melbourne.
