By my count, I’ve managed to have double digit posts here every single month since the fall of 2022. For most of the last year, to year-and-a-half, I’ve averaged around seventeen or eighteen posts per month. I can’t overestimate how shocking this is to me. Before that, I always struggled to get even six or … Continue reading Feeding the Beast

Michelle Monday: Wolf at 30
One of my favorite Michelle Pfeiffer pfilms, Wolf, opened thirty years ago today, June 17, 1994. Wow. I swear to you, it was yesterday. There I sat, in a crowded theater, gazing upward, spellbound by Michelle’s utterly luminous visage. I was transfixed, residing firmly under her spell for the entire two hours, while my buddy … Continue reading Michelle Monday: Wolf at 30
Bad Girls We Love: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises
“It’s an ‘Ooops’ dripping in sexiness and insincerity, coming as it does after Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne interrupts her in the middle of a heist and before she dons her leather or rubber catsuit. The ‘Ooops’ and its Jean Harlow naughty-girl reading come early in the film and the rest of Hathaway’s performance seems to … Continue reading Bad Girls We Love: Catwoman from The Dark Knight Rises
Lost and Found: Angels of the City
Welcome back to the Lost and Found sweet spot, friends! You know what that means—we’re back on the gritty and glittering streets of Los Angeles, circa 1990, with hot prostitutes (or, in this case, hot college girls pretending to be hot prostitutes) and dangerous pimps in tow—meaning we have all the ingredients for primo late … Continue reading Lost and Found: Angels of the City

We’ve featured this stunning shot of a drop-dead gorgeous Margot Robbie before. It was taken during her hair, makeup, and wardrobe test for 2016’s Suicide Squad, in which she masterfully played Harley Quinn for the first time. Well, we’ve stumbled upon a treasure trove of other Harley test shots. These looks are terrific, and for … Continue reading Margot Monday
Lost and Found: Vampire Ecstasy
“Please, make this throbbing stop!” A seemingly forgotten slice of 1970s Eurosleaze, Vampire Ecstasy (1973), aka The Devil’s Plaything, or Veil of Blood, is jam-packed with nudity, sex, lesbianism, masturbation, blood sacrifices, incest, and other perversions too lengthy to list here. A Swedish-Switzerland-West German co-production, helmed by American softcore director Joseph W. Sarno, the film … Continue reading Lost and Found: Vampire Ecstasy
Marilyn Monday
It’s Monday, so how about some more Marilyn Monroe to ease us all on down the road this week? Saturday would also have been Marilyn’s 98th birthday, so she’s well deserving of another visit to the Starfire Lounge. Marilyn’s performer’s outfit in There’s No Business Like Show Business (1954) bears a striking resemblance to the … Continue reading Marilyn Monday
