Phoebe Cates Is Number One

chris — Sun, 02 May 2010 17:02:14 +0000

How I didn’t see this before I’ll never know, but apparently the site Mr. Skin rated the all-time best nude scenes in movies and one of my favorite actresses of all time was number one. I’m talking about, of course, Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

To a young man such as myself, Cates represented all that was awesome about girls and helped start us on the way to manhood. I’m very happy that many others obviously share my enthusiasm for Cates. She truly is one of a kind and still looks great today (at 46), btw.

But here she is in her younger days in one of my favorite movies of all time. Also, keep in mind, this video is probably NSFW. Enjoy.

I’m Chris and I Approve of This

I’ve seen a lot of movies over the years and many of them had one or more superheroes in them. Some of those superheroes were also women and probably looked pretty good in their costumes. However, I’m fairly certain none of them ever looked this good.

I give you Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in Iron Man 2. You’re welcome.

My Favorite Patrick Swayze Movies

Sadly, the world lost a great guy, a great dancer, a great actor and a great fighter today when Patrick Swayze passed away at 57 from complications due to pancreatic cancer. He will be missed.

I’ve been a fan of the man for years and even had the chance to meet and work with him long ago on a movie probably best forgotten. It wasn’t one of his best films (or mine) and at the time he was a little worse for wear, but still he was always a professional, a friendly, happy man and a pleasure to work with.

That’s the way I’m going to remember him.

Also, I’m going to remember him through his movies. So, in honor of Patrick Wayne Swayze, here’s a few of my favorites.

Video Friday – Dear John Witherspoon

In honor of the holidays, the following video will have pretty much nothing to do with the holidays whatsoever. Oh, this video is probably NSFW unless you happen to work someplace where this kind of thing is acceptable. If so, are they hiring?

Enjoy and happy holidays. Yes, I went there. That is all.

Heath Ledger Oscar Campaign Ad

This is pretty clever — even if it is overshadowed by the actor’s tragic death. Still, I can appreciate the effort.

Thanks to my friend David Press for pointing this out.

Video Friday – RIP Bettie Page

In case you don’t know who I’m talking about, here’s some video that points out the true phenomenon that was Bettie Page — who, sadly, passed away yesterday at the age of 85. Time Magazine also has some great photos and a tribute over here, so take a look. Enjoy.

Every Picture Tells a Story

Or, so people say. So, to challenge myself and because I feel what meager photography skills I may have once had are dwindling rapidly, I’ve decided to embark on a little experiment. I’ve decided that I shall acquire a newer, smaller digital camera and then take it everywhere with me for the next thirty days.

During these thirty days I will take photos each and every day and post at least one each and every day to this here blog. In so doing I hope to spark some creativity in myself and also, perhaps, get a few interesting photos in the process.

Now that I’ve made this decision and this plan, the first step is to acquire said smaller, lighter digital camera. I’m doing this mostly because I don’t want the camera and its weight or bulk to get in the way or serve as an excuse why I’m not keeping up with the plan.

After a bit of research, I’ve decided on the Canon Powershot SD 1100IS as the newer, smaller camera of choice. Its on-order from Amazon and should arrive Monday. Just in time for me to start this thirty day project. So, keep a lookout for new pics right here every day starting Monday.

To be honest, I’m wondering if I will be able to keep up this schedule of taking and posting a picture every day. I guess we’ll find out. To start us off a bit early but in the right direction, here’s a pic I took the other day of my pal Matt Raub and Robert Englund (aka Freddy Krueger):

Because I Can Never Get Enough

Here’s yet another picture of the divine Marissa Miller just in time to be a day late for “Photo Tuesday.” Although, I did give you some great shots of Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff from the BSG press event yesterday — so no complaining, please.

I also realize that having these kind of photos may land me a bit on the pandering side of things. But then again, who cares? She looks purty. And sweaty. And I feel like sharing.

Enjoy.

New York Comic Con Fun

chris — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 05:20:08 +0000

I’ve been in New York the past week for the Comic Con and all I can say at the moment is that I’m tired. When I can put more that a few sentences together I will thrill you with my thoughts and feeling about the people in attendance, the panels, the con in general and more.

Until then, let me leave you with this picture of a happy but somewhat worse for wear Brendan Frasier that we took during the Con. Enjoy.
