Low budget, indie horror film from the USA. It’s virtually unseen. (23 votes at IMDb)

Demetri has a problem.

——-

His band TERRIBLY LATE can’t quite seem to breakthrough, stuck opening for the more popular band CHEMICAL BURN, despite his belief that their music is superior.

——-

Jane has a problem.

——-

She’s obsessed with Demetri and his band, and has a clear vision for what it would take to bring the band to stardom, but obstacles stand in the way of the band’s success which only she seems to recognize. Jane knows two things for certain: (1) Demetri is perfect; (2) only she knows what’s right for the band and can do what it takes for TERRIBLY LATE to reach stardom. Jane begins stalking Demetri and scheming to get close to him and his band. After seducing Demetri after a first date, the mysterious woman begins meddling in the band affairs with bloody and chaotic effect. While Demetri is unaware of the lengths Jane will go, he does not question her motivations. Sure, she’s brash and opinionated, but nothing he can’t handle, or so he thinks. While Demetri remains in the dark as to Jane’s bloody impact on the detractors of the band, his own band members, those that survive at least, begin exchanging notes on Jane’s erratic behavior and dark tendencies. When news of Jane’s past comes to light, it finally dawns on Demetri that this groupie is in fact as mysterious to him as she is psychotic. By the time the truth about Jane is exposed Demetri is in way too deep and is no longer in control of the band he formed. With Battle of the Bands right around the corner, can Demetri successfully break up with Jane and regain control of the band, or is that even what he wants? Yes, her means are bloody, but they are also effective and one does not become a Rock God without breaking a few eggs along the way.

I don’t know of the woman who plays Stalker Jane, with the not at all phony name of Halo Kitsch, but she is really creepy as the psychopathic groupie. I read that she is better known as a singer, and she has some decent reviews, but I didn’t check out her music.

There is virtually no nudity in this film, just a blurry peek behind a shower door (Kitsch), and a single dark breast reflected in a mirror (Miller).

New Hungarian series (English: “Empire”) about the career of István Kovács, “Kovi”, a famous porn producer of the 1990s and 2000s.

Videos here.

These are not my videos and I haven’t seen the series. I acquired the videos when somebody sent me this link. I assume the creator is Hungarian. I read that the first two episodes are available, but he has only posted episode one, as far as I know. I converted the videos to MP4 format so they could stream properly on GoFile.

I don’t understand any Hungarian, despite having lived there and having acquired a Hungarian girlfriend while I was there. We both spoke German at the time. My failure to acquire even basic conversational Hungarian remains one of my great disappointments. Another is having lost her when we were still in the honeymoon phase, when everything between us was perfect. My contract was up in Hungary, and she hadn’t finished her studies at the university there, so there was no way to make it work. It was the rare case where we both finished the relationship with a broken heart. We still write each other, in English now, as her English is now better than my German. In addition to learning English, she has learned Italian so well that she has become a professor of Italian in Hungary. We have both gone on to happy lives, but I guess we still wonder what might have been. I shouldn’t say “we,” since I can’t speak for her, but for me, she’s the one that got away.

As Kurt Vonnegut would say, “So it goes.”

Fortunately, you and I don’t need to know the language to know what is going on in this series. As you can easily deduce from the thumbnails above, everything is self-explanatory.

Maria Katarina in the FAE runway show during Miami Swim Week

.. is without the swimsuit.

This image shows model and actress Brooks Nader in the ocean during a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit event in W South Beach as part of Miami Swim Week. But she don’t need no stinkin’ swimsuit. Nader was wearing a red dress in the surf when she suffered this wardrobe malfunction. Apparently she never dreamed that she would be exposed when entering the water in a flimsy mini-dress with no underwear.

So, did she bring extra clothing to the event, or did she enter the water fully dressed with the expectation of spending the entire evening in wet clothing? And why did she show up at a swimsuit event without a swimsuit? Inquiring minds want to know.

I know it’s not exactly a hot issue at the moment, but it crossed my mind for some reason, and I decided to tinker with it a bit. It’s difficult to work with a back-lit subject when the camera is shooting right into the sun, and it’s even more difficult when the image is tiny to begin with, but I took a shot at blowing it up and trying to create natural skin tones. I’d say I failed, but it was an interesting experiment.

I’m not suggesting that the image is a body double, but just noting that with all that magnification, the image came out looking like Faye Dunaway.

Few people remember her today, but Pier Angeli had been a significant screen presence in the 1950s. She co-starred and hobnobbed with all of the A-Listers. After all, this is a woman who had a torrid affair with the legendary James Dean.

Vogue tells the story:

(Pier’s mother Enrica) had reservations about Dean, considering him untidy and ill-mannered. His atheism was another issue; Enrica was a devout Catholic. Despite Dean’s attempts to win her over, including by dressing up for visits and renting a tuxedo for Pierangeli’s movie premiere, Enrica remained unimpressed. Pierangeli and Dean continued to see each other in secret until November 1954, when just six months into their courtship, he asked her to marry him. She instinctively said yes. But two days later, after breaking the news to her mother, Pierangeli returned to Dean not only to renege her acceptance of his proposal, but also to announce that they must never see each other again. By the end of that month, she would surprise everyone by marrying the singer Vic Damone, an Italian-American and a Catholic. Needless to say, Dean was devastated.

Damone and Dean were not her only A-list connections. She was also engaged to Kirk Douglas at one time, and had once co-starred with no less a luminary than Paul Freakin’ Newman.

During her marriage to Vic Damone, they appeared as guests on the June 17, 1956 episode of What’s My Line:

By the end of the sixties, however, Hollywood had abandoned her. Near the end of her life, Pier tried to resuscitate her career by appearing in some low-rent projects to demonstrate that she was still working. This was one of those projects. There are reports that she wanted to keep this film out of distribution, and it’s easy to understand why she felt that way. This project had to do her career more harm than good. Her face looked older than her 37 years, her overacting in one sequence was embarrassing (scene 202 in the video link below), and Addio was a cheapjack piece of erotica which should theoretically have been far below her pay grade. Unfortunately, Addio Alexandra was not the low point of her career desperation. That would be Octaman.

By that time in her carer, she felt that she had run out of luck, with no more career opportunities, and no possibility of finding a new love. Despite the other relationships in her life, she never got over James Dean. In a letter to a good friend, written two months before her death, she wrote:

I don’t think any man can save me now. I think it may be too late. I think I was meant to live and die alone. Love is far away, somewhere deep inside of me. My love died at the wheel of a Porsche.

Did her despondency about the state of her life and career lead to suicide? There is a lot of debate about that. She did die of a drug overdose at 39. Was it an accidental overdose? Suicide? An error by her physician? We will never know for sure. We can’t conclude that she took her own life, but neither can we rule out the possibility, given her emotional state in those final years.

Addio, Alexandra contains almost all of her career nudity. Pier Angeli was billed here under her real name, Anna Maria Pierangeli.

And here are Pier and Collette Descombes in publicity stills. The scene below is in the film, but these particular shots must have been posed on the set. Pier is the one with glasses!

Her nudography. There’s really nothing to see. She’s been acting for 40 years, and there’s only a brief flash of one breast and a partially obstructed view of her butt.
