Uncle Scoopy's world-weary musings about naked celebrities, sports, humor and other important, manly things.
This is one of those rare shows where I normally prefer “no nudity,” because I can then avoid watching the show, but I figured there might be something in this episode because the sex scene is fairly long.
I wasted my time, but as long as I did, I made a clip. Maybe some of you just have too many hours in a day. In that case, here are 44 seconds of life stolen from you, time that you can never get back. You’re welcome.
I suppose “Did Carrie Fisher have an areola slip?” is the real question.

Friends Petr and Michal, who have known each other since high school, live completely different lives: one has already settled down, has a well-paid job and a family, the other is a loner with unfulfilled artistic ambitions. But they are still united by their passion: graffiti.
Previous nudity from this series and its stars. There was a substantial amount in season one, but virtually none in season two so far.
Lydia Peckham was yet again in scenes that seemed to require nudity, yet offered none. It appears that we won’t be seeing her naked, which makes her a rather odd casting choice to play a character obsessed with sex.
If only they had given Lydia’s part to Ollie Winter.

A group of young people inadvertently resurrect a seemingly invisible evil.
Yes, the evil is invisible, as evil is wont to be, being an abstract concept.
Kidding aside, the idea is that there is a mysterious evil entity that can only be seen through a camera lens. You can get the idea from the second picture below.
There isn’t much nudity, but this movie might be worthwhile for genre fans. I didn’t have time to watch the entire film, but I watched enough to be impressed with the cinematography, and the reviews were pretty good.
Each episode has a somewhat different feel, partly because of the use of image technology from different eras – the omnipresent phones and laptops of the Andrea section (with its implicit commentary about a generation’s unshakeable screen addiction), the older camcorder textures of Camila’s story.
Sometimes our P.O.V. is the camera of the principals, but the “omniscient narrator” scenes seem to have been shot on some ultra-HD cameras. This director, editor and cinematographer know what they’re doing. (The latter two are women, by the way, as are the main characters.)
A group of Indiana loggers has felled the mightiest redwood in the forest, THE Ohio State University.
And my other wish also came true: lowly, unranked, five-loss Duke won the ACC championship, clearing the way for my sentimental rooting favorite, James Madison, to get the 12th seed. Of course I don’t expect them to beat Oregon, but stranger things have happened. I hope they at least make a good showing. Oregon is favored by 22!
So here is how things fall out for the tournament seeds:
1 Indiana.
2 Ohio State
3 Georgia
If it were my call, I would have dropped Ohio State to 3, because Georgia has now defeated every opponent they faced. (Their one loss was to Alabama, and they got their revenge with a three-touchdown victory.) That said, the difference between 2 and 3 is not really meaningful. There is a big difference between 4 and 5 (only one gets a first-round bye)
4. Texas Tech
5. Oregon
This year, the difference between 6 and 7 is aiso very important, because #6 Ole Miss is a 17-point favorite against Tulane (and they already beat them by 35 earlier this year), but #7 A&M has a tough opponent in Miami. (The Aggies are favored by just four in the opening line.)
6. Mississippi
7. Texas A&M
8. Oklahoma
Major controversy: the committee leapfrogged Miami over Notre Dame! Tough call. That’s hard to justify because the Irish were rated higher by the same committee last week – and both teams were idle, so nothing could have changed.
9. Alabama
10. Miami
Well, nothing objective.
I’ll take a guess: Duke’s victory left the ACC without a team in the tournament, so the committee promoted Miami to remedy that. If that is the rationale, and I can’t see any other possible justification, that makes it more of a political decision than an objective evaluation. That’s a tough beat for the Irish. Notre Dame is rated #3 in the nation by the computers, but will watch the tournament on TV like the rest of us, as the best team excluded from the tournament.
For what it’s worth, the AP poll kept both Notre Dame and Miami, and booted Alabama.
Meanwhile, the 11 and 12 seeds allow some weaker conference champions into the tournament.
11. Tulane
12. James Madison
They could just take the top twelve teams, but holding at least one place for the Group of Five teams is something that the executives feel to be a necessary compromise. Is it ideal that Tulane and James Madison are in while teams like Texas and Notre Dame are out? Nah. If Notre Dame played Tulane on neutral turf, they would be favored by three touchdowns. It would be more if they played at home.
But that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
