Film nudity legend Nastassja Kinski is 58 today. Cat People (1982) was lensed when she was 20.

Her nude career began in a most scandalous fashion when she did a topless sex scene in Wim Wenders’ Falsche Bewegung at the age of 13. (If that. She told one interviewer she was 12 when her scenes were lensed.

Just to prove it was no fluke, she performed full frontal and rear nudity in To The Devil a Daughter (“The film that ended Hammer studios!”) at the age of 14!

She didn’t slow down for decades. All in all, she performed nude scenes in more than 20 films and TV shows.

Here is what she looks like now. She’s essentially retired. According to IMDb, she has only one film or TV credit in the past 12 years.

Tove Lo – usual deal

The final order of finish.

It was a great year, reminiscent of the mid-90s. As I wrote about 1996, the second twenty from 2018 are as good or better than the first twenty from some other years. In fact, there are probably 25 or more 2018 scenes that could have finished #1 in 2008!

There were some surprises for me.

I did not expect Sally Hawkins to win. Oh, it’s a great nude performance in a Best Picture winner, but I didn’t even expect her to do well because it was first seen in January, and I figured “out of sight, out of mind.” And after all, she’s not a busty young chickadee. By the way, there has been a bit of backlash against this film. It is rated only 7.4 at IMDb, which is low for the Oscar champion.

I thought it would be between Lachman, Lawrence, Gilpin and Pike. I was surprised that people liked Higareda’s scene slightly more than Lachman’s, but that was also a great one. Altered Carbon was absolutely the rookie of the year.

I thought Sevigny’s and Stewart’s nudity in Lizzie would attract more enthusiasm.

Emma Stone? WTF? It was one breast for one second. It was probably the weakest scene on the list. If that had been a lesser-known actress I wouldn’t even have put it among the choices. You guys must have been longing for some Emma flesh.

Lady Gaga – I expected her to do much better. She showed the works, if only for a second, and she’s a huge star.

Dakota Johnson – I found her scenes a waste of time, and not at all erotic, but Mr. Skin picked her among the top ten, so I thought she would have supporters. I was wrong. You guys, like me, were indifferent to her charms.

If you’re curious, I voted for Pike. It’s great nudity, and she is my dream woman, more or less.

R.I.P. George H.W. Bush

When we bury him, we will bury the last of the old Republican party, the last remnant of the time when one could use “Republican” and “moral” in the same sentence without irony.

His accomplishments were enviable: naval aviator in WW2, self-made oil millionaire, congressman, head of the CIA, ambassador to the UN, VP, President. He was a dignified man who did just about anything an American can dream of doing; a man who always placed his country first.

Above all, he was a decent man. I wish we could say that of every leader.

Here is the summary page for The Top Nude Scenes of 1995

As always, members should not use the Mirror Creator links to obtain film clips. They are all in the member’s section.

If you are not a member and do use the Mirror Creator links, I’ve found that Zippyshare is the one which presents the least bullshit, but even on that one it can be necessary to click on the orange download box as many as three times before the download begins. It’s not consistent. Sometimes the first click yields the download. At other times the first click, or first and second clicks, lead to nonsense.

Here is the summary table of all the top tens from every year.

The open matte version reveals slightly more nudity than the widescreen DVD/Blu-Ray, including a butt shot. Details shown below (click the comparisons to enlarge).

Video

The latest White House shenanigans.

First Sanders claimed that reporter Acosta “put his hands on a young woman.” This lie was ridiculous enough because the press conference was filmed, but then she doubled down by issuing a fake video produced by Infowars to support her claim.

It doesn’t seem to me that Sanders would have either told the lie or presented the crudely edited video on her own authority. Not because she lacks the initiative, but because she’s not totally stupid.

Oh, I just realized that Sean Spicer claimed the 2017 inaugural crowd size was larger than the one in 2009, when evidence clearly demonstrated the contrary, and he’s not stupid either.

I can’t imagine who could have been behind these obvious and foolish lies. Only a complete idiot would have made the decision to do this.

Oh, never mind.

The Giants legend has passed away at 80

He hit more than 500 homers and led the NL three times. In 1965 he and Willie Mays teamed up to hit 91 homers.

UPDATE:

One commenter made an interesting point – Willie frequently had more walks than strikeouts, including four consecutive years. In fact, in his MVP year he drew so many walks that he led the NL in on-base percentage (not to mention in slugging average as well). In his prime, from 1965 to 1971, ages 27 to 33, his on-base percentage was a sparkling .404 for that seven-year period. He led the league in OPS three consecutive times during that period.

Here’s a measure of how much respect pitchers had for Willie: before Barry Bonds came along, Willie held the major league record for intentional walks in a season.

A bit of nostalgia …

When I was in college in NYC, the candy machines in the subway stations were always empty – except for Powerhouse Bars. If you got desperate enough to buy one because it was 3 A.M. or something, you most likely got one with a faded wrapper. Only the Lord himself knows how long they had been in there. That was in the 60s, but the wrappers probably had pictures of people rolling up their sleeves to defeat Hitler.

All kidding aside, some older bars included a rhyming slogan on the wrapper: “Generous. Nutritious. Truly Delicious.” The wrappers on the oldest ones just said “good eating.” Their corporate mascot was named Roger Wilco, and their oldest ads looked like the color comic strips from the Sunday paper.
