Lost and Found: Private Resort

In which we visit the raucous Private Resort for one last fling before summer ends. Teen sex comedy Private Resort (1985) was a late eighties cable television staple, which explains why I watched it approximately one-hundred times during those years.

She Could Never Be That Guy’s Woman

In which Michelle Pfeiffer spreads ‘em for posterity. Last year, I highlighted a particularly funny and memorable scene in Amy Heckerling’s wonderful I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007), starring Our Queen and Savior, Michelle Pfeiffer. As I wrote then, Television writer Rosie (Pfeiffer) is stuck next to two condescending and judgmental studio executives while … Continue reading She Could Never Be That Guy’s Woman →

The curvaceous, green-eyed, and long-legged beauty was born in Rome and, like many Italian goddesses, had a fiery personality that only enhanced her appeal. This excellent resource on all things Italy details Silvana’s ferociousness, but here’s a particularly choice quote that makes … Continue reading Bombshells: Silvana Pampanini →

Hot Shots of the Week: Burton’s Babes

Just a friendly reminder that Batman Returns, Beetlejuice, and Sleepy Hollow director Tim Burton has had sex with each of these women.* “These women” being actresses Lisa Marie: Helena Bonham Carter: And Monica Bellucci: Not too shabby for a weirdo kid from Burbank who studied animation at Cal Arts, eh? Hope springs eternal for awkward … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Burton’s Babes →
