This Aesthete video was requested some time ago, and I finally got to it.

Samples:

Video

This scene is not in episode 1, which is covered in detail here.

Sissy came into focus yesterday when I looked at the 16mm, open matte version of Carrie.

She did a fair amount of nudity in the period from 1972-1984 (her age 22-34), then did no more. Realistically, she really stopped in 1976, because she did no significant nudity after that point. Her nipple was visible for a split-second in Missing, and her other two post-1976 nude scenes (Raggedy Man and The River) were filmed in near-darkness.

Now 76, the diminutive actress has kept working, albeit fully clothed, to this day, picking up many accolades along the way. She has been nominated for six Oscars, winning once for Coal Miner’s Daughter, in which she also got to demonstrate her musical ability. She also won a couple of Golden Globes, and has been nominated for several Emmys and BAFTAs.

HD videos from every film except Carrie. They need to be downloaded rather than streamed.

The 4K widescreen and 3K open matte versions of Carrie are here, and are not streamable.

I mentioned in my post about the grainy, pinkish, full-screen version of Carrie, that it might be nice to see what AI could do with those images.

I ran one “full frontal” image through two AI programs and it turned out that the idea wasn’t so nice after all.

AI did a so-so job at cleaning up the image, but it strongly suggested that what I thought was a full-frontal turned out to be a merkin. I discarded one of the images because it just did too much smoothing (so much that she seemed to be laughing), but the one I tossed suggested that you could actually see the thin strap holding the merkin up. I don’t know about that – no strap was visible in the full rear shots, but be that as it may …

The one I kept (below) didn’t show the strap, but it resolved the grainy image into a shape that suggests “patch,” not “pubes.”

I’m sorry I asked.

A group called Scanners, Inc took the original negative from Carrie, and scanned it into an open-matte 16mm print. I don’t really know what point they are making with this exercise, but it turned out to be interesting for us, because the full negative includes more information above and below the 4K widescreen version, and that means more nudity from Sissy Spacek in the opening scene. (Nancy Allen and the others don’t seem to be significantly affected, but if you’re that interested, you can judge for yourself in the film clips linked below.)

I don’t have enough technical knowledge to explain why the whole 16mm version is so pink, but I think that sharpening the nudity up and restoring the colors would be an excellent use of AI.

Here’s a comparison:

The film clips (HUGE downloads, and they won’t stream.)

If you have an ultra-speed connection, the entire 16mm version – all 54 gig of it – was online as of yesterday. (Third from the bottom.) In theory, that entire site is just a storage for open matte versions of films. I have not had time to comb through it carefully. If you have time to browse, you may find some treasures in there.

There are no subtitles in the stream. She’s just saying, “Emil, I’m pregnant. You’re going to be a father.”

A few vacation photos of Kelly Brook looking very busty in swimwear while spending Easter vacation on the Amalfi Coast!

I haven’t been a fan, but she really looks good here.
