A wonderful actress and stunningly beautiful woman died today and to celebrate her life here’s the delightfully atmospheric Key Largo, in which she starred alongside her first husband, Humphrey...
Portsmouth In Colour, 1939
Film footage from 1939 of Portsmouth shot in colour. Interesting to see familiar and not-so-familiar parts of Portsmouth and quite amazing how much some of it has changed, some of it obviously lost to bombings during the war and other areas changed just as a matter of course. The film includes shots from the Brickwoods brewery, Clarence Pier amusements, the airport, one of the first festivals of the sea, a parade taking place in Southsea, and contestants in the Miss Portsmouth competition among other bits. Please note: some of the film is a little bit racy (quite surprising for the era) and may not be safe for...
Star Trek Continues Triple
I’ve talked about Star Trek Continues before when they released their first episode online. Since then I’ve even helped (in a very, very small way) to fund the production of further episodes and that has indirectly led to – surprise! – more episodes being produced. They’re now up to three and since three is the magic number when I occasionally share these “triple” video links it seems fitting to share the episodes so far. Episode 1, Pilgrim of Eternity, is a continuation of the Who Mourns For Adonais? story in the original series. Episode 2, Lolani, features everyone’s favourite green-skinned type of slave girl, an Orion slave girl. A story that explores slavery, non-interference, and love and which has an emotional kick in the guts at the end just for good measure. Episode 3, Fairest Of Them All, takes place in the mirror universe directly following the original series episode Mirror, Mirror and follows Spock leading a revolt against Kirk on board the ISS Enterprise. Not only are all three episodes great entertainment they’re also fabulously produced, directed, lit, costumed (is that a verb?), and acted. May there be many, many...
1970s Euro Porn Style – Lehrmädchen-Report
Satellite TV came to the UK in the late 1980s and it wasn’t long before my parents ponied up the subscription fees and got a dish attached to the back of the house. And with that came a world of simultaneously truly awful and truly amazing programming from the far reaches of the Earth. But mainly mainland Europe. Compared to what we’d had to contend with before – four entire channels of mostly far less than 24 hours of viewing per day each – this was an incredible experience. Now we could watch quiz shows from Italy where we didn’t understand the questions or answers but liked the fact that scantily-dressed women featured heavily. Or news programmes from Spain where we didn’t understand a thing anyone was saying but there was a gorgeous presenter. Or soaps from France that we couldn’t comprehend but which had a heavy mix of beautiful female characters. You may be spotting a trend here. Of course, the main thing was staying up late enough so that the porn from the German or Italian channels would broadcast. Pornography on the television! What a world we lived in! I didn’t really realise it at the time but the adult films they showed were old, even then, dating from the 1970s and very much softer when compared to the sort of thing you can find online these days. Nudity and flaccidity and simulated sex acts were all you ever got but back then it was the best thing in the world. For reasons of nostalgia and mild perversion I decided to see if any of the 1970s films I remembered watching in the late hours of the 1980s were available online, what with us living in this glorious digital age. And they were! Which is handy or this would have been a rather pointless introduction. I tried watching one or two and even allowing for the continued incomprehension as to the plot and dialogue they were, quite frankly, awful. Always the danger I suppose. Still, there was one element of these classic porn films that I did enjoy: the fashion! The clothes! The cars! The house decors! The hair! The shoes! That may be more than one element but I’m going to group them all together under the heading of style. 1970s style? Yeah, you know I love that. This is potentially the first of a series of style showcases and mini reviews of 1970s European soft porn movies. Lehrmädchen-Report (1972) This is actually a movie I never saw on satellite television but the number of films featuring “report” at the end that I do remember seeing...
Traci Lords Triple
Traci Lords! She’s quite possibly well known for any number of other things but the two I’m going to concentrate on are her singing and her acting as I present three videos from the, er, singing actress. Now, I have to warn you that all three of these videos are erotic in different ways – very different ways; so different, in fact, that you may not even think they’re erotic at all – but none of them are pornographic. Not that there’s anything wrong with pornographic videos. I think I’ve mentioned porn and videos and Traci Lords enough now. Can’t imagine why I’m doing that. The first clip is Control from her 1995 album 1000 Fires. I bought this album, I liked this album, I played this album a lot, and this was the stand out track from it for me. Handy then that it got released as a single and a video was made for it. The second video is an excerpt from the 2009 movie Princess of Mars. If you’ve not seen this movie – and many people haven’t – but you have seen the big budget film John Carter then it’s definitely worth catching this to compare. I actually really enjoyed both movies. That’s right! I’m the person who liked both of those films. The princess in the film’s title is played by Traci Lords as you probably could have guessed. I’ve saved the best and most erotic of the Traci Lords videos to last. Prepare yourself for an audiovisual treat the likes of which you’ll never forget as long as you live. Warm Up With Traci Lords is an exercise video featuring the actress and singer. It also has incredible music and rhymes from Traci. It’s truly...
More Animated GIFs
What’s even better than coming up with something original, intelligent, witty, thought-provoking, or entertaining? Why, not doing any of those things of course! And so for something that’s not original, not intelligent, provokes not one single thought, and is less entertaining than sand-counting on Playa Boredomo, the most boring beach along the Costa del Dreary: more animated GIFs found amongst the posts of some of the sites I subscribe...
