Boost Your Career - Put Some Sheen On Your Resume
[ Best scam ever: a professional journalist got paid to “research” porn to create this news article. ]
Kacey Jordan, the porn star who smoked crack with Charlie Sheen shortly before his hospitalization, shared some good news today: Her “babe rank” just skyrocketed! How good is a Charlie Sheen scandal for a porn star’s career? A quantitative investigation.
FreeOnes.com, an aggregator of adult photos and videos, quantifies (NSFW) the demand for each “babe” on its site by tabulating how many views her images and videos accumulate in any given 24-hour period. On the day that Kacey Jordan’s name made headlines and she gave an interview about smoking crack with Charlie Sheen, Jordan skyrocketed into the top 10.
That’s nothing, though. The porn star Charlie Sheen locked in the bathroom during last year’s hotel rampage, Capri Anderson (FreeOnes prefers her other porn name, Alexis Capri), spiked several times in the weeks following her Sheen scandal.
You can visit the article, they’ve even got graphs.
Perhaps I should redefine “professional journalist”. This article seems to be written by Maureen O’Conner for Gawker, an online magazine. She is the Gossip Editor there, even though a link to her work is under the name “Azaria Jagger”. Other great pieces by her include Unexpected Plot Twist Turns Sue Sylvester Into Mary Kay LeTourneau, whatever that means, but nearly the whole article consists of a picture of some actor (whom she misidentified) being allowed to win at the children’s game Connect Four by his girlfriend, who is making a deliberately wrong move. So she may not be a contender for the latest Pullet Surprise, but if she draws a paycheck for writing and publishing that makes her an official professional journalist, right?
The press is having a field day with Mr. Sheen, as he heads off to rehab yet again. If they aren’t making a fortune from his antics, they are at least reaping the publicity benefits of his notoriety. And so are his whores. I mean actresses. None of whom seem to be charged with prostitution. I guess they can skirt that law if they set up a video camera and their trick is already a member of the SAG? Why not? - “No your honor, I was not turning tricks. I was playing a hooker in this new indie film we shot in a hotel room and the front seat of a car”!
Is there any benefit in this for Charlie Sheen? He’s become the latest Lindsay Lohan. Charlie don’t surf care. He makes $1.8 million per episode on his hit TV show, playing himself. He’s the Goose that laid the Golden Egg for his network. They aren’t going to do a thing to him. And the more publicity, the more people that will tune in to watch his show. Until he ODs and dies I guess.
Am I getting in on it too? I’m not trying to. A couple of Sheen’s “party friends” have appeared here in the past as Eye Candy, but that was before we knew that he knew that they knew that he had “known” them. Also because certain photographers and makeup artists can work magic, and spin straw into gold. And I’ve avoided the whole Denise Richards thing, even though I’ve had a warm spot for her ever since Starship Troopers and Wild Things. More than warm. And I only posted this one to show the absurdity of what lengths “journalists” go to to have something to publish. Just like bloggers!

The War Against Obamunism
I was really minding my own business; went to work, came home, paid some bills, then relaxed by watching a classic movie.
The movie was The Ten Commandments. Produced and directed in 1956 by Cecil B. DeMille.
It has been many years since I watched this classic. In fact, I didn’t remember the beginning that I’m posting now. I suspect it was never aired when I watched it on TV as a child.
Producer/Director Cecil B. DeMille says that the story of Moses is the Birth of Freedom.
Yes, I did the research. That is Cecil B. DeMille. He is also the narrator in the movie. Good job. He had a great voice.
Also, this was back when Hollywood made decent movies. They weren’t anti-American.

I couldn’t let this one slip by
Today is 09/02/2010. 9/02/10. 90210!
I think that calls for a Shannen Doherty picture or two. Dear little Brenda Walsh. Back before she was completely crazy. Before all those bar fights and arrests. Mostly. Even back before the boob job? Well, maybe not back that far, and some say that never happened. But back before she got the boot in season 4 for being impossible to work with*. Before the Playboy spread. But if you’re a guy and the 90s was your coming of age decade, you probably remember Where You Were. When suddenly in season 3, Brenda got boobs. Life altering television event. I have no idea what happened to this show after she left it, because I did too. Heck, I only rarely had the volume turned up anyway.
* hey, the same thing happened on Charmed a few years later. And that show was never the same either. And Punked too? I don’t remember.

Revenge of the Wetbacks
Oh boy, I can hardly wait! The latest action flick from Robert Rodriguez.
“They just fucked with the wrong Mexican!” Seriously, that’s the quote. Classy.
Starring Danny Trejo, the hardest working, most recognizable, most typecast ex-con in Hollywood, even though you may not know his name. Also starring every available Latino they could find - Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Cheech Marin, Carlos Gallardo, Ara Celi etc. - except for comedian Paul Rodriguez. And Robert DeNiro, Steven Segal, Don Johnson, Rose McGowan, and even Lindsay Lohan dressed as a nun with Stockholm Syndrome licking a big revolver.
Opening the first weekend in September, in the less used slot between summer blockbusters and end of the year Holiday Season releases, the latest blow ‘em up, chop ‘em up screen adventure from director Robert Rodriguez has guns, knives, explosions, Cadillacs with mounted artillery, flying motorcycles with blazing mini-guns, and all the pyrotechnic special effects they could squeeze into 90 minutes. Plus hot chix behaving badly in skin tight outfits and black leather eye patches. What more could you ask for?
Um, how about a non-leftist message for once?
Sorry, no chance of that:
Machete (Danny Trejo) is a renegade former “Mexican Federale”. He roams the cities, towns, and streets of Texas looking for work after a shakedown from a drug lord called Torrez (Steven Segal).
Machete has a run-in with Michael Benz (Jeff Fahey), a local businessman and spin doctor, who tells Machete that McLaughlin (Robert De Niro), a corrupt senator, is sending hundreds of illegal immigrants out of the country and that he must be killed. Benz offers Machete $150,000 to kill McLaughlin who quickly accepts the murder contract out of greed for the money.
Attempting to assassinate the senator at a political rally, Machete is double-crossed and is shot in the shoulder by Benz’s henchmen whom are soon revealed to be in league with Senator McLaughlin who orchestrated the entire attempted assassination with Benz as part of a false flag operation to gain widespread public support for McLaughlin’s harsh anti-immigration laws by setting up Machete as the patsy to make it appear that an outlaw illegal Mexican immigrant tried to assassinate the senator.
Now on the run from the law and being tracked not only by a ruthless henchwoman hired by Torrez, but Machete is also tracked down by Sartana (Jessica Alba), a persistent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent with a special interest in the blade slinger. Machete goes after Benz and his men, as well as Senator McLaughlin, with the help of his only three allies; his “holy” Federale-turned-priest brother Padre (Cheech Marin) with a thing for pump-action shotguns; a saucy meat cleaver-wielding taco slinger named Luz (Michelle Rodriguez); and Benz socialite daughter April (Lindsey Lohan), whom Machete kidnaps and who soon develops a fascination for the blade-wielding fugitive since April has a penchant for guns. Machete rallies a group of illegal migrants together, and they all begin to hunt the people who double crossed him.
Trejo spent much of the 1960s in California prisons--Tracy (1963-65), San Quentin (1965-68), Soledad (1968-69). A child drug addict and criminal, Danny Trejo was in and out of jail for 11 years. While serving time in San Quentin, he won the lightweight and welterweight boxing titles. Imprisoned for armed robbery and drug offenses, he successfully completed a 12-step rehabilitation program that changed his life.
He and director Robert Rodriguez are second cousins.
Subtle like a box of sledgehammers dropped from an airplane, the other key line here is “We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us!”
I wonder if this one will bomb just as hard as all the Hollywood movies that portray our troops as deranged psychopathic baby killers?
Directed by a Rodriguez, written by a Rodriguez, featuring several Rodriguezes, one token Asian babe, and all the white actors are the bad guys ... is it too un-PC to say this is hispano-sploitation? Why is the vocal track even in English? No word on whether La Raza gets 10% of the gross.
Remember, America is bad. All white people are evil. Buy your tickets now!

Wardrobe Malfunctions
Filed under Things that don’t matter but are fun anyway”. Oh wait, never mind, I got rid of that category.
March Madness comes down to the final four not just in basketball.
If you follow the gossip pages, Hollywood, or the world of the fashionistas, surely you’ve heard of the blog GFY. Go Fug Yourself. Lots of pics, lots of snark, and never ending coverage of the absurdly dressed rich and famous. “Fug” means “Effin ugly”, a couture ensemble that’s so bad it becomes newsworthy.
Every year there is a competition. Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s teh fugliest of them all?
This year was a major surprise, as reigning fug queen Bai Ling was beat out in the semi-finals by singer Rhianna, while on the other side of the pyramid major fug contender Lady Gaga went down in a landslide to Kanye West’s arm candy/human pit bull/space alien Amber Rose.
So now it’s down to Amber vs. Rihanna. Get your votes in today.
This kind of thing is so meaningless. But it’s fun. I’d had my bets on perennial favorite fruit loop Bai Ling, but she lost badly, simply because she wasn’t trying very hard this year at all. You can’t take fug for granted; girl, you has to own it!
Go and vote, and be aghast at the amazingly awful outfits.
In other completely unrelated news, Russel Crowe has a Robin Hood movie coming out next month. Directed by the same guy who did Gladiator, Ridley Scott, it’s sure to be a gritty festival of Dark Ages gore, with lots of arrows, spears, and general chopping off of bits. Plus Cate Blanchett as Marian. Sounds like a plan to me!
A bowman in the army of Richard Coeur de Lion, virtuous rogue Robin Hood rises from an unlikely background to become a hero to the impoverished people of Nottingham and lover to the beautiful Maid Marion

Psychotic Annoyance TV
Cindy and Heather and Katie are all pregnant! Their lives are a mess! If Katie “wins” she can really use the prize money; that’s why she got pregnant. Which one should get the abortion? You decide! VOTE NOW!!!
How’s that for Concept TV? Gosh, you think they’re doing it just to piss EVERYONE off?
Turning abortion into an online game show
By Kathleen Parker
Sunday, January 31, 2010At first glance, bump-the-show sounds like a reasonable response to “Bump,” the show—a new, faux-reality Web-based docudrama featuring actors trying to decide whether to have an abortion.
Think Jerry Springer meets Oprah meets “American Idol” meets Dr. Oz meets . . . America’s conscience. For the decision to abort or not to abort is up to you, dear audience.
Has the shark just jumped the shark?
The idea for the “show,” which launches Monday, was inspired, of all things, by Barack Obama’s commencement address at Notre Dame University last year. When the president said he wanted “to find ways to communicate about a workable solution to the problem of unintended pregnancies,” executive producer Dominic Iocco conceived “Bump.”
He and co-executive producer Christopher Riley want to see whether stories can succeed where four decades of rhetoric and politics have failed. They fashioned their experiment in a way that would be most appealing to the wired, reality-show generation.
I’d make some remark about Hollywood scraping the bottom of the barrel, but that would be rather trite. But, O.M.G!! Is this where the edge of the “annoyance art” universe is? Is this just soooooooo trendy as to be outside the comprehension of anyone over 22 who doesn’t live in LA? Or is this actual entertainment for a generation of soulless zombies, for whom human life is utterly meaningless, and this is actually a sitcom to them? This seems just half a step away from Running Man, or throwing Christians to the lions. Only half a step.
Ok, maybe two steps, since the “actresses” aren’t actually pregnant. But the concept is chilling. YOU are Caeser. Thumb up, or thumb down? Harden the populace to other’s suffering. No compassion, just death. Load up the Carousel as fast as you can. And give Obama the credit! Death Panels, indeed.
Or is the concept actually valid? Break the taboo, get it all out in the open, force the discussion. Do we need to do that? Seems to me for 37 years we’ve had very vocal opponents on both edges, while the vast majority dwelt somewhere in the middle, realizing that this was a maximum private personal issue, and just kept their mouths shut. But maybe we need to drag it out once again, and get everybody all worked up. Everybody. Because, you know, we’ve solved all the other problems in life and politics, and we need some kind of distraction. Things are just too boring these days.

Avatar hit by accusations of racism. Some folks just have to see race in everything.
The guy who made Avatar is a liberal for gosh sake. Seems like even a sci-fi pitcher-show is now seen by some in terms of race.
Can’t they just watch and enjoy (or if not leave the theater) without seeing the dreaded ‘R’ word? Guess not. It’s a movie. It’s fantasy. It’s make believe. But some just have to sniff around till they find the evidence they have planted in their heads.
James Cameron’s $1 billion sci-fi epic Avatar has been hit by accusations of racism.
By Anita Singh, Showbusiness Editor
TelegraphCritics claims the story of a white US Marine who saves an alien race perpetuates the “white Messiah fable” and suggests that non-whites are primitives incapable of helping themselves.
Hundreds of blogs, YouTube videos and Twitter postings have sprung up on the subject since the film’s release three weeks ago, with one writer dubbing the 3-D extravaganza “a racial fantasy par excellence”.
Avatar is set on a distant planet populated by the Na’vi, an eco-conscious, blue-skinned alien tribe with no understanding of modern technology. A disabled Marine, played by the Australian actor Sam Worthington, is sent to infiltrate the tribe but soon “goes native” and leads them in a defence of their homeland against the white invaders.
He also falls in love with an alien woman, who rejects a Na’vi suitor and becomes his wife. The main Na’vi characters are played by black actors, including Zoe Saldana and Laz Alonso.
David Brooks, a columnist writing in the New York Times, said: “Avatar is a racial fantasy par excellence ... It rests on the stereotype that white people are rationalist and technocratic while colonial victims are spiritual and athletic. It rests on the assumption that non-whites need the White Messiah to lead their crusades. It rests on the assumption that illiteracy is the path to grace.
“It also creates a sort of two-edged cultural imperialism. Natives can either have their history shaped by cruel imperialists or benevolent ones, but either way, they are going to be supporting actors in our journey to self-admiration.”
The ruthless treatment of the Na’vi has been interpreted as a metaphor for the plight of American Indians. Brooks said Avatar followed a long tradition of “white Messiah” movies which began in the 1970s with A Man Called Horse, starring Richard Harris as an English aristocrat who is captured by a Sioux Indian tribe and becomes their leader, and which includes Kevin Costner’s Dances With Wolves and the Tom Cruise film, The Last Samurai.
Robinne Lee, a black actress who appeared opposite Will Smith in the film Seven Pounds, is also among Avatar’s detractors.
Likening the film to Pocahontas – “the Indian woman leads the white man into the wilderness, and he learns the way of the people and becomes the saviour” – she said: “It’s really upsetting in many ways. It would be nice if we could save ourselves.”
Annalee Newitz, editor-in-chief of io9.com, a sci-fi website, said: “The main white characters realise that they are complicit in a system which is destroying aliens, aka people of colour ... then go beyond assimilation and become leaders of the people they once oppressed. When will whites stop making these movies and start thinking about race in a new way?” Cameron strongly denied any racist intent. He said that his film “asks us to open our eyes and truly see others, respecting them even though they are different, in the hope that we may find a way to prevent conflict and live more harmoniously on this world. I hardly think that is a racist message.”
The controversy has done little to dent Avatar’s remarkable run at the box office. It took just 17 days to pass $1 billion in ticket sales – a new record – and to become the second highest grossing film of all time behind Titanic, also

Film School
I just finished watching Tom Horn, Steve McQueen’s 1980 eulogy to westerns, and perhaps to himself. He died from mesothelioma just a short time after the film was completed. At first, this seemed to be a confused film, especially with the dream sequences/flashbacks Tom Horn has while in jail. They were totally unexpected. But I quickly adapted. McQueen’s Tom Horn is a rough man mostly by necessity, a man past his time, a survivor of the “raggedy-assed Old West” who finds himself a fish out of water in the duplicitous early 20th century, but still tries to do what he knows best, which is hunting down the bad guys and outgunning them. But he embodies The Cowboy Code to the letter without even trying. I doubt if Horn has 200 words of dialog in the whole film, not even speaking up in his own defense at his rigged murder trial, stoically knowing that the verdict is going to be whatever those in power want it to be. And in homage to that same Code, this little gem of a film is a distillate; it’s everything a cowboy movie should be, boiled down to the leather hard essentials, but with a realistic worldview that eclipses the standard moral tale. Which may be the ultimate moral tale anyway: do your best, but things are going to happen anyway. Linda Evans puts in an appearance as the school marm romance interest, looking nice but more than a bit weathered; another layer of realism on the old genre. And what would any western be without Slim Pickens? He’s in there as the Sherrif, not aww-shucks-ing it up for once, just a decent man trying to do a decent job but out of his depth in the new world order. It’s a shame Gabby Hays wasn’t still alive to find a niche roll in here too, but frankly it would have been little more than a cameo. There is no comic relief in this one. McQueen was always best as the anti-hero, and those types are best showcased against a dark backdrop.
I got the DVD from my friend Doc, who either loves the film because he owns the same kind of rifle, or bought the same kind of rifle because he loves the film. No matter. The big 1876 Winchester in .45-60 is just as huge in real life as it is in Horn’s hands. Big Medicine, and in Horn’s hands it drops rustlers and their horses with aplomb. And scares the daylights out of the townsfolk. Heck, all the guns shown and talked about are right for the period, from the black powder arms to the top-break S&W/H&R to the big old Colt Walker to the Krags the National Guard carries to the never seen “German automatic” that one of the lawmen alludes to having [ie a broomhandle Mauser]. Blew my mind, remembering that Once Upon A Time Hollywood knew how to do that right. They even need reloading after 5 or 6 shots, and the pistoleros can’t hit for shit past 35 yards. A miracle.
I haven’t seen a real western in ages. No, that latter day bang-bang crap like “The Quick and the Dead” doesn’t count. In today’s era of zillion dollar CGI and PC subtexts, watching this one was a step back in time to a simple score, a simple and natural mise-en-scene, and a small cast telling a simple story that turned out to have a deep and complex message.
This film pretty much bombed in theaters, since westerns were tired out back then, but it’s worth renting. You get to see McQueen at his effortless best, filling out a role and not trying to be Steve McQueen for once. But you know the man is dying. You can see it in his face and the way he moves. But just like Horn, he soldiers on because it’s all that he knows how to do, accepting the future without quite knowing what’s going on or how he got there. You might have to rent a few John Ford and a couple Clint Eastwood westerns ahead of time to refresh yourself with the genre, so that you’ll recognize the 90 minutes of art that this one is.

Things I don’t do
Top Ten Lists
Nope, not me. Ignoring that such lists have become permanently defiled thanks to Dave Letterman, it’s just not my thing. But it seems to be a New Year’s Eve, End of a Decade thing. So here’s an entertaining list of entertaining films: Nile Gardner’s Top 10 Conservative Movies of the Decade.
Yeah yeah, another bloody boring list. Why bother? Bother, because while the films listed are all fairly apt - he missed The Incredibles but nobody’s perfect - the reader comments are more important than his list. The usual trolls march in and then pee on the carpet ... and reader Spud shows us once and for all that leftists have NO IDEA AT ALL what an actual Conservative worldview is. Watch the troll get eaten alive and come back for more. I’m waiting for him to bite on the latest comment, which suggests that the uber-greenie Avatar is actually right wing blood porn.

More vampires and werewolves?
I don’t do this very often. But today, after I got back from taking mom (and her wheelchair and oxygen tank) Christmas shopping I decided to relax and find out what’s playing at the movies. Since I don’t watch TV I’m usually very uninformed about what’s new at the theaters, so I started surfing the movie trailer websites.
I came across New Moon which is apparently the second in a series that started out with vampires. New Moon introduces shapeshifters, ie: werewolves. It was released November 20th.
Sarah Palin makes a cameo appearance. I just may have to see this one.

What Brigadoon taught me
One of my favorite movies of all time is Brigadoon. Starring Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, and Cyd Charisse.
My earliest memory of seeing it was when I was seven or eight. I remembered the magical village that would vanish in the mist. I had dim memories of the catchy tunes.
Later I tracked down those dim memories. Not so dim now. Here’s what I learned from Brigadoon:
About courting:
Jean Campbell: “Father, how did you feel when Mother agreed to marry you?”
Andrew Campbell: “I dinnae propose to her, she proposed to me.”
Jean Campbell: “But dinnae make you happy?”
Andrew Campbell: “Aye, her good judgement pleased me highly.”
I learned to let the woman propose. That way she shows good judgement, and I don’t get turned down!
Then there’s this scene:
This begs the question of who’s wife haven’t you left alone?Hello to married men I’ve known; I’ll soon have a wife an’ leave yours alone.
If I’m ever a lost American hunter in the Highlands I’ve learned:
Highland Scots are very good at soft-shoe.
Make sure your hunting boots are suitable for tap dancing.
Oh yeah, there was that other movie… An American Werewolf in something or other. Watch out for wolves.

The $5K Prequel
Talk about your indie productions meeting extreme fanfic! This bunch of folks put together a 40 minute film that fleshes out a completely missing part of old J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic tale.
Called The Hunt For Gollum, a film made by fans for fans, that’s exactly what it’s about. It looks, sounds, and possibly even tastes like it was done by Peter Jackson, but it wasn’t. It tells a bit of the story that was only alluded to in the main text, and only slightly touched on in JRR’s appendices. Nicely done! And they did it all for only $5000.
They’ve had a number of public screenings if this film, even managing to wrangle being selected as an Official Selection by Icon, Israel’s International Sci-Fi Festival. It’s also a bit of a gray area whether they have any legal rights to tell the tale. Um, legal rights to tell the tale of a tale that wasn’t really written. So, to get around that, they aren’t selling any tickets. It’s all for free. For the fans. And it’s all on the internet. Cool. About 10,000 people a day watch it, either at the homepage or out at YouTube etc.
Here’s the link. Go ahead and spend the time to watch. I think you’ll find it ... Precious.
By doing a superb job of bringing LOTR to the screen, Peter Jackson opened a big can of worms. While he told most of the story in about 12 hours worth of film, there are still numerous parts of the tale still untold. And with today’s technology, the rabid fan base is out there filling in the cracks. Good for them.
Personally, I want a believable film that explains Tom Bombadil. I’ve read every thing J.R.R. wrote, even the Silmarillion, many times, and I could never quite pin down who or what he is. Some kind of a godling I think, one of those watcher spirits, but of a higher order than the wizards. But not higher in the way that he was portrayed in Bored of the Rings all those years ago, although that would add some fun to the mix!
Hard core LOTR junkies have not only seen The Hunt For Gollum a dozen times already, they’re fully aware that yet another online indie effort is in the wings. Called Born of Hope, it tells yet another unwritten Tolkien backstory, about what happened to the generations of the Dúnedain after the fall of Arnor, their ancient kingdom in the North, until the final Coming Of The King in LOTR. This one will debut in another 2 months. You can watch the trailers for it and stuff here.

Letterman
Yeah yeah yeah, David Letterman was blackmailed by the producer of the news show 48 Hours. And they caught the guy. It’s all over the news, yadda yadda. But by “coming clean”:
As part of the testimony, Letterman admitted that he had engaged in sexual relationships with staff members.
“My response to that is, yes I have.
hasn’t Dirty Dave just admitted that he’s guilty of multiple counts of sexual harassment? I mean, aside from the marital infidelity? He’s the boss. And he’s screwing his staff members. Tell me this isn’t an open and shut case worth millions? And about the same amount when his wife now divorces him? Am I the only person in America to have this thought? Because the story is everywhere today, and not a single news source or blog that I’ve seen has asked this question.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
