Star Wars – The Real Back Story

When someone writes a hit movie or a best seller, it's easy to think it all resulted from a stroke of creative genius and it just happened organically. But in almost every case nothing could be further from the truth. Take the Stars Wars movie franchise for instance. A number of intriguing back- stories exist about how things got to be as they were in the Star Wars movies. Here I should give a plug to a writer called Chris Taylor who discovered them and wrote a book suitably titled: How Star Wars Conquered the Universe: The Past, Present and Future of a Multi-billion Dollar Franchise. For example, Taylor tells the story of when Star Wars creator George Lucas showed a rough cut of the movie to his mates Steven Spielberg and Brian De Palmer, Spielberg thought it was going to be a huge hit b...

Jennifer Coolidge The Mamtastic Mama—Coining The Phrase Racktastic Assets

Jugalicious Jennifer Coolidge nabbed national sexposure as hot house frau Stifler’s Mom in the racy romp American Pie (1999). While most boys were set on bedding mere girls, Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) got to get busy with this mamtastic mama—coining the phrase MILF! Jennifer continued to spread the mythology of all-American institutions such as baseball, hotdogs, hair pie and Chevrolet by boning her young boyfriend again in American Pie 2 (2001) and American Wedding (2003). Yet Jen is more than just an entry in the wank bank of teenage affection. Quite the yuckster, Coolidge got her start with the improvisational troupe The Groundlings and has since showcased her comic timing (and ample cleavage) per crazy character parts in Best in Show (2000), Legally Blonde (2001), Legally Blonde 2: Red,...

Why A Night To Remember Is The Definitive Film On The Titanic

It has been 110 years since the sinking of the Titanic. Over 1,500 passengers and crew perished in one of the deadliest maritime disasters during peacetime. The story of the ship and its passengers has long since taken on mythic proportions and has been committed to film many times. James Cameron’s clunky offering from 1997 might come to mind first, but I recommend going straight to Roy Ward Baker’s highly regarded A Night to Remember from 1958 for a more measured appraisal of the disaster. The Titanic fascinates filmmakers because it has everything a dramatist could ever want: heroism, sacrifice, decency and grace under pressure. Cowardice and self-preservation are there, too. The ship offers up a microcosm of society in which class divisions are given greater urgency when life and deat...

The Charming And Charismatic Chris Evans

It’s easy to be in lust with Chris Evans, but awfully hard not to be a little in love with him. From early on, he’s been charming, charismatic, and willing to spend hours in the gym to gift us with a chiseled physique. After toiling away on various TV shows, he finally scored his first feature film, playing Jake Wyler in the spoofy Not Another Teen Movie (2001). Not an Oscar-worthy flick, but Chris gets very skinful, with only whip cream as a wardrobe. In 2005, he entered a world that would become very familiar to him: the superhero universe. Before he donned the red, white, and blue, he was Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four (2005), and 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). Want Free Access To Chris Evans Nude Pics & Clips? Click Here!

Priyanka Chopra Jonas – A Skincendiary Global Superstar Of The Highest, Hottest Order

Priyanka Chopra Jonas — as she is now known since marrying musician Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers band — is a skincendiary global superstar of the highest, hottest order. An actress, singer, writer, producer, beauty queen, and charitable fundraiser, Priyanka Chopra took the top crown in the 2000 Miss World Pageant before becoming one of Bollywood's most massive movie icons ever. For her acting efforts, Priyanka Chopra has won a National Film Award and five Filmfare Awards, which led her native homeland of India honoring with the Padma Shri, one of the absolute highest citations the nation bestows upon its citizens. During her ascent as of the most beloved — and lusted after — mega-stars on Earth, Time Magazine named Priyanka Chopra one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World in ...

A Masterclass In Unfaithful Adaptation: Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman

Whether it’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Call the Midwife or, more recently, Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, most of us will have enjoyed a book-to-TV adaptation. In the process, we might also have had to endure a family member or friend smugly informing us that what we’re watching is, in fact, “nothing like the book”. Before we get into this, full disclosure: when it comes to comic books, and especially Sandman, I am that guy. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to catalogue for you every minor way in which the new Netflix series about Morpheus, maker of dreams, differs from the original comics, which started in 1989. Sure, you all loved the episode in the diner, for example, but honestly, it bears only a passing resemblance to the comics version. Think The Corinthian – the bad guy – is scary...

Harris Dickinson – Trust Us When We Say Dickinson’s Shirtless Stint Is Something To See

You can’t spell Harris Dickinson without dick! The British bloke almost was a seaman but before he joined the Royal Marines, his acting coach convinced him to return to London’s RAW Academy. It turned out to be a great decision since it let us see his naked T&A on the TV thriller Clique (2017). The boob tube babe also portrayed J. Paul Getty III on the FX series Trust (2018). Trust us when we say Dickinson’s shirtless stint is something to see! Not only does Harris show off his bulging briefs when he goes for a swim, he also appears as a naked model. If that’s not hot enough, the hottie flashes his bare butt! But not before the nude-comer blew us… away with his revealing role in Eliza Hittman’s R-rated drama Beach Rats (2017).

Bebe Rexha ‘The Whole Package’

Born to Albanian parents in Brooklyn, Bleta Rexha changed her name to Bebe Rexha. While growing up on Staten Island, the Big Apple babe went after the American dream. She taught herself how to play guitar and piano even though Mr. Skin was more than willing to give her lessons on his organ. Despite this fact, Bebe has become a successful singer, songwriter, and actress. In other words, she’s the whole package — which may explain why she’s got her fans adjusting their packages.

Family Guy And The Parent Television Council

Family Guy released an episode entitled "Quagmire's Mom." In the episode, the sex-addicted reoccurring character, Glen Quagmire, is arrested for having sex with a high school girl. After claiming that his mom is the reason that he grew up to be a sexual deviant, Quagmire is still sentenced to twenty years in prison. However, his mom then enters the episode and finds a way to get her son acquitted of his charges. While I am a huge fan of Family Guy, I personally thought this episode was mediocre. However, I apparently loved this episode compared to the Parent Television Council. The Parent Television Council is probably more active in attacking Family Guy than any other major organization. Family Guy has made their yearly list of "worst prime-time shows for family viewing" three times and ...

‘House Of The Dragon’ Inspired By A True Medieval Struggle Over A Female Ruler

In three decades of teaching medieval European history, I’ve noticed my students are especially curious about the intersection of the stories told in class and the depictions of the Middle Ages they see in movies and television. Judged by their historical accuracy, cinematic portrayals are a mixed bag. However, popular fantasy, unencumbered by the competing priority of “getting it right,” can, in broad strokes, reflect the values of the medieval society that inspires it. “House of the Dragon” is one of those TV shows. A king, lacking a male heir to his throne, elevates his teenage daughter to be his named successor, and a complex dynastic drama ensues. This storyline reflects the real obstacles facing women who aspired to exercise royal authority in medieval society. The queen as a c...
