i'm starting/commencing a new topic! amazing!


(editor's note: this post is partially (ok, entirely) in response to "mazdasucks" comment on this film, which is "quoted" during the finale of this post...)

(avoid the following (and any subsequent) paragraph(s) if possible...)


this particular, excelsior scrap of cinematography is currently on "comedy" central... (hence, i assume that "Hudson Leick's" scene will fail to be broadcast), however, i find myself entirely enraptured by the incessant comedy prowess of this film... (i also take great offence in the knowledge that "mazdasucks" lists christine taylor as #2 on his "hot-list"... in addition to the lack of credit to amy yasbeck's hauntingly beautiful countenance?! (the previous two (2) comments are, indeed, genuine) GOD-DAMMIT! (watch "wings" and you'll understand my frustration...i apologize for such an outburst...) i have yet to witness the entirety of this magnanimous film... however, i have no doubt that the point that i have/had yet to make, possessed substance... (unfortunately i have forgotten the gist of my post in the brilliant radiance of this film...)


(in short, if i ever consider becoming an actor, there is no doubt in my mind that i would utilize this gem, in every potential opportunity, as my audition...)

(to quote "mazdasucks")..."This is your typical 30-ish "relationships are funny, aren't men pigs" type of film. It wouldn't even be worth my commenting on it except for its one saving grace: the topless sex scene of one Hudson Leick! If you don't know of her, her most famous role to date was that of Callisto on the TV series Xena. Well this is her in all of her topless glory! She's only in the movie for ten minutes or so, but since the movie sucks anyway, you might want to just fast-forward to the sex scene. Her breasts are beautiful. She is beautiful. There are other beautiful women in the movie (Leah Lail, Christine Taylor, Angie Everhart, and I GUESS I'll include Amy Yasbeck), but Hudson is the only one who gets nekked and I love her for it! Like I said, the movie blows except for seeing Hudson topless. Jason Alexander, Jonathan Silverman, old worn-out jokes about men being insecure about their penises and their sex lives in general. It's all just so lame. If you're a guy and you watch this for any other reason than Hudson Leick's boobs, I'd like to punch you in the stomach for it. Oh yeah, one last thing: that dude from "The Nanny" TV show is in it too. GAG If that doesn't show you it's a stinker, then I don't know what will!"

Hudson Leick
Probably the MOST beautiful woman on the planet, bar none. And a great actress - especially playing edgy personae like Callisto. Her role in this movie was small, but utterly incredible. It destroys any competition from all other sexy scenes ... Phoebe Cates in Fast Times, Halle Berry in Monster's Ball, Bo Derek in 10, Melanie Griffith in Body Double, etc. I've seen her in real life ... even more amazing. One night with her? Which arm would you like me to cut off in payment?

Hudson does look amazing/ IS amazing in her scenes; and yes, the movie is otherwise kind of lame.

However, you left out the other redeeming feature of this flick: Shawnee Free Jones (who also gets naked)! That this girl wasn't a bigger star surprises me. But she delivers a great dramatic scene (as well as an awesome sex scene).

The war is not meant to be won... it is meant to be continuous.
