What I’ve Been Watching: October 2024

Before starting this jam post I quick double-checked the math and, yup, it’s been about fourteen months since my one and only “What I’ve Been Watching” post. Boy howdy, where’d the time go? I had planned to do these semi-regularly (like, every few months maybe?), but the first one took so long to write and … Continue reading What I’ve Been Watching: October 2024 →

Hot Shots of the Week: Double Trouble

The 1971 Hammer horror film Twins of Evil is one of my favorites the studio ever produced. It’s wonderfully schlocky, creepily atmospheric, and about as sexy as Hammer horror ever got, thanks largely to the bodacious, identical twin sisters Madeleine and Mary Collinson, who play very thirsty vampires.

From those perky nipples and … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Totally →

Hot Shots of the Week: Proto-Cougar Alert

As the venerable Pulp International once noted, “Cougars of the world, meet the proto-cougar.” That would be Dame Joan Fucking Collins, seen here in promo photos for the 1972 television movie The Man Who Came to Dinner. As you no doubt remember, Joan is a Starfire Lounge VIP, and still rocking today. This cheeky shot … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Proto-Cougar Alert →

Bonus Hot Shots of the Week: Happy Birthday, Jacqueline Bisset

Kids today have no idea, but from the late sixties on into the eighties, few beauties of the silver screen were as revered as Jacqueline Bisset. Not only was Bisset a captivating talent, she was also an absolute stunner. From Bullitt (1968) to Airport (1970) to Murder on the Orient Express (1974) and Class (1983), … Continue reading Bonus Hot Shots of the Week: Happy Birthday, Jacqueline Bisset →
