I admit freely I'm a nudity speculator for most part. I depend a lot on intuition, experience and resume of the folks involved in the film productions. Either you hate the blog or just browse the site for what it's worth. I also contact the people related to a movie; professional and armchair critics in order to get possible nudity news from recent movie releases or reviews of upcoming movies. For most part I'm rebuffed, bombarded with abusive replies or the usual 'fucking creep' message. Just last week I made an unfortunate mistake of contacting a British movie reviewer in connection with Katharine Isabelle's American Mary. And what did the fucker do? He tweeted about receiving a creepy e-mail regarding Katharine which was patently untrue. As you guys can see I post all my inquiries in pic form. He could have sent an e-mail telling to me to 'fuck-off' and all be fair. Instead he chose to forward my e-mail (and my e-mail address) to Katharine and directors of American Mary. He didn't stop there. He made sure all the film-makers at the film festival receive my e-mail. This douche is the type I usually avoid but my instinct let me down that day. You read their reviews and you instantly know he is an ass-kisser looking for free passes, interviews.
I strayed off subject for a minute there. While I'm a nudity speculator it seems Mr.Skin is fast becoming an exaggerator. It's more quantity over quality. Of course you can't blame them. They're the number one site for latest info and wants to remain in that position. But nanosecond of nip flash or hazy view of ass/breasts is not exactly what I call a proper nude scene. Best example is Alicia Witt nudity in Joint Body. There is nothing there to even call it a topless scene. It boldly proclaims 'Nude' on her main profile at the site but you click on the movie it goes 'No Nudity' and "Sexy'.

reviews for Martin McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths (2012).
http://www.screendaily.com/reviews/the-latest/seven-psychopaths/5046324.article?blocktitle=Latest-Reviews&contentID=1479 :
Abbie Cornish has just a few scenes as Marty’s increasingly frustrated girlfriend (plus a moment in a fantasy sequence which doesn’t end well for her); Olga Kurylenko pops by for one bikini-clad sequence as Charlie’s girlfriend.
Cornish and Olga Kurylenko (who plays Charlie's girlfriend) don't get much to do except whine and wear a wet t-shirt (the former) and roll around in lingerie (the latter).
With these two borderline nudity-dodgers basically cock-teasing us - my money is on usual suspects Helena Mattsson or Jamie Noel to flash their baby feeders.

 I don't think there is real nudity in A Late Quartet (2012) premiering Monday September 10 with Canadian rating of PG but Rated R for language and some sexuality in US. Main focus will be on Imogen Poots. Couple of Film Synopsis : The four members of a world-renowned string quartet struggle to stay together in the face of death, competing egos and insuppressible lust. Set in iconic New York City, this is the story of four musicians, bound together by their passion for music and long years of working together. But when their patriarch Peter is diagnosed with a terminal illness, the repercussions hit the group deeper than they could imagine. First and second violinists Robert and Daniel row over first chair, Robert and violist Juliette's marriage hits the rocks when he has an affair, and their headstrong daughter embarks on her own explosive affair - with Daniel. As their 25th anniversary performance looms, the musicians must either find a way to overcome their troubles, and preserve their legacy - or part ways forever. and While this milestone would seem to be cause for celebration, it soon becomes a flashpoint for the members' assorted personal traumas and the tangled web of jealousy, envy, ambition, and deeply felt affection that binds the group together. Older than his colleagues, Peter (Walken), the group's founding member, is diagnosed with a degenerative illness that forces him to confront the troubling question of who will succeed him — and what his legacy will be. The marriage between second violinist Robert (Hoffman) and violist Juliette (Keener) goes suddenly south when infidelity rears its head; while brilliant, headstrong and steel-willed first violinist Daniel (Ivanir), already engaged in a battle over first chair with Robert, brings tensions to a boil when he falls into the arms of Robert and Juliette's beautiful young daughter Alexandra (Poots), who is a talented violinist in her own right. |
* Even if Imogen doesn't get naked in this movie, I can say with certainty 2013 will be a big year for 23-years old English lass. She will be in few movies with racy theme. In The Laureate she will play a mischievous mistress and there are rumors of threesome with Orlando Bloom and another actress. The movie is described as "provocative" and "racy" by its makers. Imogen will also portray Linda Keith in Jimi Hendrix bio-pic All Is by My Side. Linda is a prototype groupie (if you can call her that), Keith Richards girl and later (but never admitted) slept with Jimi as well. How about Irvine Welsh's Filth? She is Amanda Drummond - a total make-over from the book. Doesn't her character have sex with James McAvoy's Bruce Robertson? In fact I expect most of the female cast in the movie to be in state of undress at some point.

Keira Knightley on the Secret of Her 'Anna Karenina' Sex Scene (Video)"Anna Karenina," director Joe Wright's version of the Tolstoy novel and the third movie Wright has made with Keira Knightley, has already proven to be one of the most divisive and debated movies at Toronto.
A stylishly over-the-top re-imagining that sets much of the action on the stage of a huge and decaying theater, Wright's "Anna" is sumptuous and theatrical, and it dazzled some viewers while leaving others cold.I fall on the thumbs-up side of that ledger, and I spoke to Knightley on Friday morning about the audacious concept, and her and Wright's feeling that it was worth taking the risk of falling flat on their faces.
I also mentioned that the movie's sex scenes, particularly a lengthy one between Knightley's Anna and Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Vronsky, seemed as choreographed as the dance sequences. It turns out there's good reason for that: The sex scene, she said, began as a dance often staged by the film's brilliant Belgian-born choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui.
Here's a bit of the interview, with Knightley promising more of the scene on the eventual DVD:

Homeland stars promise more twists
For anyone who found themselves glued to the TV for the first season of Homeland, the stars have promised plenty more twists, turns and intensity as the premiere for the show's second season.
"The paranoia, anxiety quotient is cranked way up," actor Damian Lewis said.On Homeland, Lewis plays a US Marine named Nick Brody who was a prisoner of war in Afghanistan. The federal government and the public see Brody as a war hero, but a CIA operative named Carrie Mathison, played by Claire Danes, believes he was turned by the enemy and is now a threat to the US.
The show won the 2011 Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series Drama. It is also up for a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Drama Series. Damian, 41, and Claire, 33, also are nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress for their work.
Besides the obviously compelling story about whether there is a domestic terrorist on American soil, many fans still find themselves rooting for a possible relationship between the show's lead characters and Damian and Claire they can understand why.
"It's a kinky romance, but it's pretty sexy," Claire said. "It's a little star-crossed-lovers-ish. It always works."
Damian added: "I think they see these two broken-winged birds just sort of hobbling around, circling around each other and they want them to be happy."

Lars von Trier Promises Even More Disturbing Unsimulated Sex Scenes in Next Film 'Oedipus Wrecks'
by BC Bass
"Nymphomaniac" has been plagued by delays and false starts. Pushback from studios and lawyers forced von Trier to create two versions -- one filthy, one merely dirty. News of a real sexual encounter with LeBeouf also caused crippling setbacks to the production schedule. Actors originally courted for parts, such as Nicole Kidman, are now hesitating to commit.
"Shia is definitely no Tom Cruise," a representative from Kidman's camp told reporters. "And Nicole never actually had sex with Tom, so this is really a difficult position for her. She has to weigh her physical disgust and personal standards against her assessment of how this picture could benefit her career. Why they didn't approach Demi Moore is beyond us."
Kristen Stewart, who initially begged for the chance to star in a film where she could have sex with other actors, which "wouldn't count as adultery," dropped out entirely after learning of LeBeouf's involvement.
As a result, von Trier says he may resort to using body doubles for particular scenes. "It's either that or we try to get Scarlett Johansson drunk and bring her to the set. Even then, Scarlett does have some standards and we're not certain there's enough in the budget for the amount of alcohol we're talking about."
Producers considered Maggie Gyllenhaal but felt audiences would lose interest after watching two off-putting actors fumble through clumsy attempts at coitus on screen.
"At that point, it would be cheaper for people to download smut off the Internet," von Trier allegedly told his team. "This isn't some 'Brown Bunny' moment -- a cheap excuse for the director to get off with a beautiful actress -- this is art, and it's the whole picture."
Von Trier also continued to defend his vision of "Nymphomaniac" from being compared to professionally produced adult entertainment, which he called prurient: "This is not porn. Porn is a soap opera with bad dialog and carefully contrived, acrobatic sex. In my films, the sex is disappointingly real and the actors talk less. They're also quite weird looking."
After learning on Friday that body doubles would be performing the live sex scenes, Shia LeBeouf reportedly warned von Trier of his desire to withdraw from the project, having lost his best opportunity to shed his virginity.
Von Trier says he will complete "Nymphomaniac" but is already casting for his next film, "Oedipus Wrecks."
The concept imagines a modern telling of the Greek tragedy in which Oedipus, through a brutal series of predestined actions, unknowingly fulfills a prophecy to kill his father and marry his mother, thereby bringing ruin upon his city and family. Overwhelmed with the realization of his crimes, Oedipus blinds himself using a brooch from his dead wife-mother's dress. However, in von Trier's script, the ill-fated king mutilates his own testicles in an elaborate 30-minute sequence that involves a wood rasp, a ball-peen hammer, tile cutters, drain cleaner, poison ivy, mayonnaise, shoelaces and a glowing badger with devil horns. Throughout the scene, Oedipus must also continue to have sex with three women who spit in his face and weep at the same time.
The Oracle of Delphi will be portrayed jointly by Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem DaFoe. They will appear always in a grunting act of coupling, delivering their prophecies in the form of spilled bodily fluids.
The rest of the screenplay chronicles the sexual relationship between Oedipus and his wife Jocasta, whom he later discovers to be his biological mother. The sex, von Trier assures audiences, will be completely unsimulated and performed by an actual mother and son acting duo to preserve the artistic integrity and inherent revulsion of the story. Charlie Sheen and Janet Templeton, his actress mother, have been confirmed by von Trier for the lead roles. The film is expected to be released early in 2014 pending settlement of a suit with Vivid Entertainment over accusations of copyright infringement.

Spring Breakers: interview with Vanessa Hudgens
The forthcoming release of Spring Breakers is causing scandal between the young fans of teenage idols Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez. Here is what Vanessa had to tell about acting on Harmony Korine’s movie also starring Hollywood star James Franco.
Vanessa, were you familiar with Harmony Korine’s work before you were cast in Spring Breakers?
I feel like I knew a little bit. Harmony worked with one of my manager’s other clients on Kids, and that was one of my dad’s favourite movies. When this came along, he was really excited. I think James Franco was already attached, and then I read the script and I’m such a big fan of his. I’m a real believer in putting things out in the universe, and eventually if you want it bad enough it all happens. For months I was saying, I want to work with James Franco over and over again, and when this came up, I thought “We need to make this happen!”
Were the other actresses attached to the project at that point?
No. There was no one else attached. We were just figuring out the characters. I was like, I’m really just excited about the project and don’t care which character I play. Then he made me read for Candy and the next time he had me come in again and do a few reads with a few girls.
You needed to find the perfect partners in crime for your part. The relationships in the movie are such strong bonds: girlfriends who have been best friends since childhood. It is such an amazing connection that females have; it’s unlike anything else. In order to show it on film, we needed to establish a connection. At that point I heard about Ashley Benson, who came on board as well. I actually used to go to acting class with Ashley, when I was 15 or 16. We were in the same class but our paths in life had been completely different. We never really got to know each other at all. And it’s so funny now, coming back to that and being able to dig into each other’s past. It’s a small world.
Do you remember what you thought the first time you read the script, the feelings it triggered? It’s not the kind of movie that we would expect you to be part of…
Recently, I’ve been doing a few projects that are way darker and deeper and heavier. Reading these situations in the movie where our characters go wild, that harsh, hard element was something that I really liked. I felt like I would be a little bit in my element, like I’ve had a taste of it. It’s so much fun and I wanted more of it. And Candy seems like the one who, even though she’s bad-ass and tough and hard, she still has that sweet fun side underneath it all, this bubbling little girl, just so excited about everything, and I feel like that’s partly who I am. Under this deep, dark and heavy character, inside of myself, I’m just jumping for joy at the fun that I’m having.
How did you prepare for this role?
It starts, honestly, just reading the script. One of the first things we did was to get close to the girls right away, because we wanted to build an amazing bond and relationship, and create a sense that we had known each other for years. And then go further past that, of course, and study girls who are just hard and rough and tough and who are in this other drug-like world. It really is a completely different world; their headspaces are so different. They’re just living in the moment.
How do you think the character got to the point where she gets arrested? What kind of background do you think she is from?
I think our characters just do whatever they need to do to get what they want. As women, they know that they’re hot and empowered, and they know that if they’re tough enough and they act like they know what they’re doing then people will believe them. Together as a crew, they know they can conquer the world and get whatever they want. And the only way they know how to get to spring break is to rob a bank.
Growing up as an actress ever since you started and being here today with a film-maker like Harmony, do you feel like there is a kind of continuity to how you have been thinking about your position in the world and your relationship with film-making?
It feels like it makes sense. I feel like I’ve been learning and practicing through work as well. With Harmony, he gives you so much freedom. I’ve never worked with a director who gives you so much freedom. He literally gives us the opportunity to make use of our space, make use of our environment and the people around us, and toy with the scenes in whichever way we find interesting. Seeing Harmony act out the way he wants teenage girls to be in all of the madness and craziness is probably one of my favourite things. He gets so excited. He shows so much passion. He will demonstrate to us how he wants us to be, panting like a puppy dog, so we end up doing it as well because he has so much enthusiasm and he’s not afraid to throw himself out there on a limb and just do it. It gives us the inspiration and the security to know that we can go as far as we want to go. And he loves it! With Harmony, there’s no such thing as “too far”. There is only one Harmony and there always will be only one Harmony.
Harmony Korine is used to directing people who are not actors. It will be interesting to hear from him what the experience was like to work with more professional actresses like you on this movie.
I think that he has been a little freaked out to tell you the truth. I remember the day that we were on our scooters and there were a bunch of kid fans and some adults and there was a paparazzi helicopter, and he was like “This is crazy!” It was literally blowing his mind, because he’s not used to that at all, and to get such a heavy dose of it… That in itself is such an odd world for even me to deal with, let alone him, who works with really underground actors. And here we are, little girls, running down the street, holding up signs. It was just funny, riding the scooters, screaming “fuck, bitches, give money,” all these profanities. That’s what you get when you bring your child to an R-rated movie filming!
Some of your fans may not be familiar with Harmony’s work. Are you curious to see what they will think of your character? Do you think about that on set?
I always wanted to do things that are completely different. I want people to watch movies and think, “Shit, that was Vanessa Hudgens?” My younger fans, of course, are not going to be able to watch this. But you need to do what makes you happy. You can’t worry about what everybody else thinks because there’s always going to be haters. You have to do things for yourself, not anybody else. I’m doing this movie for myself. I think it’s a bum ass movie; I think it’s a rad character. I think the people who are genuinely my fans are really going to enjoy it.
Harmony Korine creates a pretty realistic image of the world and American youth culture and it’s probably really different from what your fans are experiencing…
Even though the image is different, it is still a world of teenagers’ lives that is so familiar. These kids have been there. Everybody has had those times in their life when they were like, holy shit, that was a crazy time. When you’re in it, there’s nothing else in the world better than that. And you have to have those times; you have to take that opportunity to get the crazy out, and from there you can grow. But I feel it’s so familiar in a high schooler’s life. And it hasn’t been touched on. I feel like people don’t want to admit it, because it is such a harsh reality, but it is reality. It is the world of the madness.
And you might come away from this seeing things from a different perspective.
Exactly! I think everybody will be able to watch it and understand it. Whether or not you agree with it is a different story. It’s part of growing up, it really is. Everybody can take away what they want to take away.
The wardrobe and costumes seem to be such an important aspect of the movie. Were you involved in the creation of them?
Heidi Bivens had an amazing idea about how she wanted it to look. It’s really like pop art. All our costumes are so bright and really in-your-face, a lot of fun graphics that contradict the way that we act, which is such a funny spin on things because we are getting fucked up and are wearing Hello Kitty. It’s a funny spin on how youth nowadays can be doing things that are really crazy, and at the same time having interests that are so pure. It’s such a present mindframe, I feel, just not thinking about the future. This is how our characters are. They just don’t think about the future, they are just doing what they feel is right. Their interests are all over the place.

Do you think because you missed college, there is a sense of that right here in your heart?
Honestly, doing it now, I am glad I never went for the party reasons of it. Because it is just so full-on, it is so aggressive, it takes so much energy that I’ve been sleeping really well working on this movie. But it’s a lot and it’s really present and not thinking about any consequences, about anything. I mean I’m getting it through this, I guess.
You said how much you adore James Franco. What makes him so special as an actor?
I love him so much! He’s so ridiculously amazing! I’m just in awe. I’m blown away. He creates these strong, fully developed characters with so much depth and background. He fills things in; he creates a whole, completely three-dimensional person who has so much. He loves taking risks and he’s not afraid to take a scene and turn it into what he wants, and he comes to set extremely prepared. He really did a lot of work on his character. He knows where he’s coming from; he just really commits. I mean, the way he acts, to the way he looks. It’s just ridiculous, but he pulls it off so amazingly because he has the backstory to back it up. I just love him.

In the movie you have a love scene with him. Do you think your character fell in love with him?
For sure! It’s probably not the purest of places, but it’s this tainted idea of what love and fame and fortune is. The characters are so wrapped up with the idea of being the biggest and the baddest and the hardest. He really supports it and motivates us to be the hardest and baddest we can be. Probably like a first love.
Drug induced, and it’s all about sex, and money, and bitches, and hoes; it’s love and it’s tough and it’s hard. That’s what our characters are about.
So what’s your favourite scene so far?
I don’t know. It’s all been such a crazy whirlwind blur that everything is kind of falling together in this mad, wild, dream-like state. I think that the part I enjoyed most is the robberies, where we get to be tough, fun girls living in the moment. Robbing that restaurant was pretty amazing, because it felt so real, because we did it from the beginning to the end. Ashley and I felt so hyped up, we were on such an adrenaline high. I literally rolled into the car and was just staring at the stars in the sky after all this madness. I was suddenly seeing such a serenity and connection to the universe. I was so in awe, my mind was blown. It was a moment I will never forget. This movie is so fun, it’s so crazy, it’s so vivid and alive, so in your face and juicy. I can’t wait to see it.

Internet Video Contributes To Second Straight Decline In TV Households
Keep this in mind during the upcoming TV season when you compare the audience size for a network or show to its performance last season. Nielsen says that the TV universe now consists of 114.2M households, down 475,620 from last year. It follows last year’s drop of about 400,000. Some of the decline is due to people who stream shows instead of watching via conventional broadcast or pay TV, Nielsen says. (A TV household is defined as one capable of tuning in to at least one station.) “Nielsen is working with its clients on the evolution of the current definition of a TV household and a TV device for their ratings services, potentially qualifying video content delivered to a TV via the Internet,” the company says. The results that govern ratings for the coming TV season show major changes in some markets: Cities with the biggest gains in households were Los Angeles (+43,680 to 5.6M), Miami-Ft. Lauderdale (+37,330 to 1.6M), Atlanta (+34,200 to 2.3M), Houston (+30,390 to 2.2M), and Austin (+18,450 to 705,280). Those seeing the biggest drops: Philadelphia (-44,060 to 2.9M), Cleveland-Akron (-29,030 to 1.5M), Birmingham (-21,260 to 717,530), Indianapolis (-20,270 to 1.1M), and Albuquerque (-18,600 to 691,450)._________________________________________________
