Rosario Dawson Will Never Stop Having to Discuss Her Sex Scenes

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 21:24:00 GMT

There's apparently something called T Magazine and Rosario Dawson did an interview for it a few weeks back.

In it, she discusses lesbian sex, being completely naked on screen, abortion, and the following sex scene...

That's from Alexander, the Oliver Stone film Dawson addresses in her T Mag interview:

The only sex scene I’ve done that caused a fuss was the one I did with Colin Farrell in ‘‘Alexander.’’ That scene was intense. I thought it was necessary to the movie — in life sometimes you’re naked. But it was not soft porny in any way, which would have been harder for me. My brother, who D.J.’s in a strip club, was relieved when he saw it. He said he was happy that I ‘‘was fit.’’ He didn’t want to be embarrassed around his friends.

Sorry, Rosario, but it's an Oliver Stone film-- it was definitely soft-porny.

She also discusses lesbian sex, her mother nearly having her aborted, and love scenes with Will Smith:

I didn’t have sex until was 20. I got into trouble at school because one of my friends said, ‘‘Lesbians do it with straws.’’ I said, ‘‘I can tell you how lesbians do it, and there are no straws involved!’’ But I think all that talk of sex put me off. The first time I had it, I think it was in a head-to-toe rubber. I was terrified of getting pregnant. My mom was planning to get an abortion when she was pregnant with me. She was at the clinic waiting for her appointment and she felt me move in her stomach. I always tell her it was probably gas. I thank God for gas.
Before our first major kiss, [Will Smith] said, ‘‘Let’s go — I’m going to nail this scene. I want to go home.’’ [Laughs] But he focused. Kissing can be more intimate than nudity. You have to take your time.

We don't know about that last one-- getting attacked by a horny Colin Farrell, trying to kill him, and then having full on-screen sex is pretty intimate. It almost made us embarrassed for having been so pleased to see her naked... almost.

Accused Murderer Is Italy's Woman of the Year

Brian Fairbanks — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:12:00 GMT

You thought Natural Born Killers was a sick Tarantino-Oliver Stone fantasy that could never come true? The story of Amanda Knox, named Italy's "Woman of the Year" for 2008 proves it could, and sooner than you think...

Knox, a 21-year-old from Seattle (her current address is in an Italian prison), was living with fellow student Meredith Kircher at the time of Kircher's horrendous murder, which involve a slit throat and, according to the prosecution, an agonizingly slow demise. Knox claims that smoking a bit of hash that evening has made the events somehow confusing, although she claims to remember hearing Kircher's screams, during which a "scared" Knox covered her ears.

Actually, claim the authorities, Knox was the one causing the screaming, while her boyfriend and another friend cut the innocent girl's throat, as part of some sick manga-inspired experiment. Helping the state's case are the books found on the suspects, the contents of which include a passage about killing vampires. (Kircher had dressed as a vampire for Halloween 2007, which had taken place the night before.)

So, apparently, Italy has no famous women of its own (what happened to the hot model auctioning off her own virginity?) and must select visiting psychopaths. And really, is she so hot they couldn't have gone with the obvious #2, Sarah Palin, instead?

Sloppy Seconds: The Evangelical Sex Craze

Brian Fairbanks — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 20:57:00 GMT

Your daily dummmy: guy who tried to pay for a lap dance with a bag of coke. The stripper was more insulted, it seems, by the fact that stuff was only worth $20:

Tualatin police arrested a man who allegedly paid for a lap dance with $20 and a baggy of cocaine.
Police spokeswoman Jennifer Massey said officers responding to a call from a bouncer found Jose Angel Bruno Melgar outside Jiggles Tavern and he acknowledged giving cocaine to the dancer.

The 19-year-old from Cornelius has been charged with cocaine possession and lodged in the Washington County jail. Massey said Monday the cocaine has a street value of $20.

This woman is a true hero. She went to a house auction to help her son purchase a home and ended up sitting next to another woman, who was crying hysterically. Turns out the crying woman's home, now foreclosed, was up for sale. The stranger bought the woman's home for 30 big ones and handed it back to her.

Did Richard Dreyfuss just say he hated working with "fascist" Oliver Stone? Actually, that's what everyone who works with Stone says about him.

A man is in jail after for hitting a cop with a beer bottle and leading the police on a high speed chase, which ultimately led to his own tasing and arrest. The best part? Laughing it off, he told the cops he didn't give a shit, since his crime was "a misdemeanor." It need not be said he is charged with several felonies.

Shut up, Dina Lohan.

You knew it was bound to happen sooner or later: a robocall done by what sounds like a sex line worker.

And one Fark headline claims "Evangelicals have sex earlier-- and more of it-- than any other religious group." Read the full story in this week's New Yorker.

Top 5 Sex Scenes From Bad Movies

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:04:00 GMT

If we've learned anything from Hollywood, it's that 30 seconds of sex is enough for people to endure two hours of terrible moviemaking. (Then again, as in the case of The Girl Next Door, if you promise an "unrated" sex movie and deliver no nudity, barely any sex, and two hours of complete crap? You will pay.)

Here are five of our favorites we haven't been able to forget... all from movies we wish we could...

5. Basic Instinct 2. This sex scene is not even in the Top 200 of Good Sex Scenes From Bad Movies, mainly because it's not a good sex scene. It looks like the film was sped up to make it look rougher, faster, and hotter. It only serves to make it look even more idiotic. We're including it here for comic relief. (The clip we're referring to starts at about 1:20.)

4. Friday the 13th. The original put all my friends to sleep at a late-night slumber party when we were kids-- it's that scary. Rent Black Christmas (the original) or even Halloween (also the original) and you'll do much better. But we like this nice little sex scene all the same...

3. Reindeer Games. Even Charlize Theron admits this movie sucks. But who doesn't want to see her naked?

2. The Doors. No matter what you think of Oliver Stone and Jim Morrison, you have to admit combining the two should be brilliant... or, at least, the right pairing for a movie. Too bad Stone focused on nothing but the debauchery and made a pointless movie that offered nothing new or interesting about the late singer. That doesn't mean we don't love this ridiculous and ultimately sexy sex scene:

1. Original Sin. If not for this "action" sequence, no one would remember Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas' theatrical turd. This is the longest scene on this list and the one most likely to have ended up on Skinemax if not for the presence of A-list stars... it's more than 2 minutes long, complete with an obnoxious orchestral score, and is about as soft-core as it gets. Enjoy.

Richard Dreyfuss as Dick Cheney: "We're Gonna Need A Bigger War"*

Bryan Christian — Fri, 23 May 2008 13:15:00 GMT

Well, Oliver Stone finally pulled the trigger and hired someone to play former Senator, former Secretary of Defense, current Vice-President, and eternal devourer of worlds Richard "Dick" "Go Fuck Yourself" Cheney -- and we're thinking that like Mr. Cheney when he shot that guy in the face, Stone got his target pretty durn good. Oscar-winning former cokehead Richard Dreyfuss will be bringing the veep to cinematic life in W, Stone's possibly Capra-esque biopic of the least popular American president ever.

Dreyfuss fans -- which we certainly count ourselves, considering how many mashed potato mountains we've built in our day -- will observe that this will not be the first time the noted and active lefty will be playing a conservative to presumably-critical effect. He played a right-wing Senator in The American President and lifelong Republican operative Alexander Haig in The Day Reagan Was Shot; we're also pretty sure that that guy from Down and Out in Beverly Hills wasn't really much of a Mondale supporter, either. Dreyfuss-haters, however, might note that his performances in those flicks-- and most of his performances really -- could somewhat charitably be described as "sort of hammy"; we'd remind them simply that, dude, it's an Oliver Stone movie. If you're looking for subtlety, Netflix is full of Bresson movies.

* Yeah, we know Roy Scheider said that in Jaws. Sue us; it works.

Too Bad The Perfect Guy For Cheney Is Dead

Bryan Christian — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:21:00 GMT

Oliver Stone begins filming his George W. Bush biopic today, and last we heard, despite having committed to some fairly weird casting decisions -- lots of comedians and international beauty Thandie Newton as international not-Thandie-Newton Condoleeza Rice -- he had yet to confirm anyone for the role of Vice President Richard "Dick" "Go Fuck Yourself" Cheney. There are rumors, of course, most of which involve really great actors -- but for our money, the perfect guy for the role booked a gig for the great backlot in the sky 10 years ago.

We're talking here, of course, about 80's and 90's character actor J.T. Walsh, who -- if you watched TNT as much as we did this weekend -- you know established his bona fides in beady eyes; gruff, gravely, midwestern voices; and a hiss-inducing sense of self-interest and self-entitlement in such films as A Few Good Men, Executive Decision -- and even Stone's 1995 Nixon movie, where he played crony and part-time plumber John Ehrlichman.

Walsh was one of the great go-to guys for directors in need of a total dick, but in smaller, stranger roles like his appearances in Sling Blade and Pleasantville, he revealed a capacity for comedy and weirdness that, sadly, were never fully put to use by Hollywood before his sudden death iin 1998. We'd like to have seen him have the opportunity to put all his powers to use as Dick Cheney, handling the asshole stuff with perfect aplomb, and applying his wit and deftness of craft to whatever comedy's in the flick (and it sounds like there's a bit).

We're sure whoever gets the role will be great, but there will probably always be a "What if?" in our minds if they don't really knock it out of the park. (We're looking at you, Duvall!)
