This is an epic-length drama from Brazil, in co-operation with several European countries. Original title: O Riso e a Faca (“The laughter and the knife”)

An environmental engineer accepts a position in West Africa, where he develops complex relationships with two locals while uncovering details about his predecessor’s unexplained disappearance.

The theatrical version, which I watched, is more than three and a half hours long. I used the term “theatrical” loosely, because the film didn’t make it into many actual theaters. The world-wide gross was less than $15,000.

And that was the express version! The so-called “director’s cut” runs more than five and a half hours. To add to the epic feel, the film was lensed in a special ultra-wide and rarely used aspect ratio (8:3).

The two sex scenes below are each five minutes long in the theatrical version. I haven’t seen the longer cut.

There was no apparent nudity in episode 3, but there were several shots of Linda pegging Jason Bateman.

I go through Tuna’s old collages regularly to seek inspiration for new projects, and just to enjoy some nostalgia. The film Decoys came onto the radar today, and it got me to wondering about Kim.

Hailing from Quebec, Kim had a fairly strong presence in the film world, and in the nude scene world, in the first decade of the 2000s. She was still working as of 2015, but I suppose she realized at that point that she had had been performing for more than 30 years without any possibility of future stardom, so she got married in 2016, and walked away from the whole entertainment business at age 35. She got so deep into private life that she even abandoned her Facebook page. As far as I know, she never looked back. I haven’t read a word about her since she got married, other than IMDb’s note that she has two children.

Charli Grace D’Amelio, born May 1, 2004, is an American social media personality and dancer. She was a competitive dancer for over a decade before she came to prominence in late 2019, when she began posting dance videos on the video-sharing platform TikTok and joined The Hype House that same year. D’Amelio quickly amassed a large following and subsequently became the most-followed creator on the platform from March 2020 to June 2022. With over 156 million followers, she was the second most-followed person on TikTok as of 2025.

Offbeat indie sci-fi that debuted at Sundance. Two codependent best friends become addicted to the heroin-like touch of an alien narcissist. Critics liked it (88% Tomato Meter), but IMDb voters seem unimpressed (5.7).

Olivia Taylor Dudley stars as Joey, the stressed-out byproduct of foster care and a substantial wine reliance. At her lowest, she’s drinking reds while pretending to work at a coffee shop. At her highest, Joey experiences the euphoria of interspecies intercourse with a celestial being who claims he wants to save Earth. Joey breaks away from her extraterrestrial lover Brian after a night of dangerously passionate sexing, but she finds herself back at his modernistic mansion touching magical crystals with her current bestie Craig. She cannot resist Brian’s healing powers nor his hip-hop dance moves — like an addict going back for another hit.

Tiger Woods was a great driver … of the golf ball.

Cars? Not so much

Woods was not injured in wreck but described by law enforcement as ‘lethargic’

There was no alcohol in his system, but his behavior demonstrated impairment. He would not take a urine test, so the exact source of his impairment is not known. He’s been charged with DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to a lawful test

It appears that the greatest golfer of his era, arguably of all time, has learned nothing from his previous incidents. So far, his automotive mishaps have not caused injury to anyone but himself. If they had, he could easily have been spending the rest of his life in prison. Given that this man is a billionaire, he can easily afford a full-time team of chauffeurs to be constantly at his beck and call. He should never sit behind the wheel again.

By the way, Tiger and the President are good friends, and Tiger is currently dating Vanessa Kay Trump, the President’s former daughter-in-law. The President is close to Vanessa’s daughter (the President’s granddaughter), Kai Trump, an avid golfer and YouTuber who just won a D1 golf scholarship to the University of Miami.
