Some nudity from a good movie by an absolutely brilliant director. If you’ve never seen any of Tornatore’s movies, treat yourself to a look at Malena. Even if you don’t like the film as much as I do, you’ll still get to see Monica Bellucci naked regularly throughout the film. If you do like it as much as I, you’ll find that he has many others equally as good or better.

(Monica also has a great scene in Baaria, but has only a tiny role in the film.)

The only thing I dislike about his movies is the quantity. I wish there were far more of them.

I can’t tell you much about this film because of the spoiler element. In fact, I’ve already said too much by letting on that there is anything to spoil, so just watch it with enjoyment, let the story lead you where it goes, and forget I said anything.

That’s impressive, as reported by the Times, but

1. All of that knowledge didn’t do him any good.

2. Biden has clearly demonstrated that the US intelligence on Russia was flawless. He tried to use this intelligence as leverage, showing the world everything Putin was going to do before it happened, and thus showing that the false flags were indeed false.

I wonder if #2 was a mistake. Because of the detail and accuracy of U.S. intelligence, Putin now knows that the USA has a mole in his inner circle. One thinks that he is working full time to expose that mole. Given that the intelligence ultimately did nothing to deter Putin’s ambitions, would it have been wiser to keep that hole card better hidden?

By far the strangest story out of Ukraine so far is this: “Louis CK to Perform in Ukraine Amid Russian Invasion

Good luck with that, Louis. Yakov Smirnoff covered this situation already, with the quote in the headline, and this one: “In America, you assassinate president. In Russia, president assassinate you!”

It is possible that this represents Lily’s real breast, given that she is acting in a flashback from a time before Pam’s augmentation.

Or not.

For reference, here’s what her real breasts look like. That is a clip from The Exception, a role which was voted #2 among the top nude scenes of 2017. (And maybe should have been #1)
