Best Hollywood Fake Nickname Ever

1) Sexy innuendo.

2) Bad pun.

3) Topical.

4) Privileges career of minor starlet over thousands of dead civilians in Japan.

A triumph of the press agent's art!

Even Dwarfs Started Small

Perhaps these clips will give you some small taste of my weird viewing experience last night: Werner Herzog's Even Dwarfs Started Small.

First, the movie's "theme song," heard at intervals throughout.



Next, a scene from the middle, where sighted dwarves torment blind ones.



Finally, the closing scene.



Rent this immediately, to cement your standing as a true WU-vie!

The Cuban Charlie Chan

"La Serpiente Roja" Primera película cubana sonora from Memoria de Cuba on Vimeo.



IMDB tells us: "A detective story which takes place in London, with Chinese investigator Chan Li Po, a very popular character of a Cuban radio series of the 30s and 40s. Written by Félix B. Caignet."

I'd love to see this whole film, based on this campy snippet.

The backstory, in Spanish.

You'll need to run this site through Google Translate.

The Ecstasy Girls



What Patty wants, Patty gets!

Generally safe for work, except for suggestive dialog and Big-O faces and rubbings and squirmings.

The Naughty Stewardesses



The trailer above is PG. Can't vouch for the whole movie below, which was rated R.
