The Master’ Presents One Final, Long NSFW (Nudity) Trailer
by: Damon Houx
The Master
There’s been nothing normal about ‘The Master‘s marketing campaign. The film has released clips (many of which were of scenes deleted from the finished film), and had numerous charity screenings, and now – a week after the picture went into wide release – they’ve released a four and a half minute trailer.

The trailer covers much of the film, though it also features footage not seen in the finished film. If you don’t know by know, here’s the film’s synopsis:
A striking portrait of drifters and seekers in post World War II America, Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master unfolds the journey of a Naval veteran (Joaquin Phoenix) who arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future — until he is tantalized by The Cause and its charismatic leader (Philip Seymour Hoffman).”
We reviewed the film, and our own Matt Singer said this about the film: ” ‘The Master’ isn’t ultimately about whether Scientology is a cult or a legitimate religion, or whether L. Ron Hubbard was a philanthropic genius or a greedy charlatan. Stripped of its luminous imagery and twitchy, iconoclastic score by Jonny Greenwood, it is a fairly simple story about the symbiotic bond between two troubled men, and the way in which their connection offers both the chance to make sense of life’s confusing paradoxes together.”

But if that doesn’t convince you, maybe this last trailer will. ‘The Master’ is in theaters now.

Emma Watson Blasts 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' Speculation

Struggles to conceal her frustration with constant rumours

Emma Watson has slammed reports that she is due to appear in the 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' movie adaptation, categorically denying that she has any links to it whatsoever.
The star was first linked to the part when EL James' trilogy rose to global prominence, and the rumours were strengthened when her 'Perks Of Being A Wallflower' co-star Nina Dobrev joked that she would be tempted to the part of Anastasia Steele if Ryan Gosling played Christian Grey.
However, speaking at a press conference today, the former Harry Potter star said: "I don't know how many times I have to reiterate, I literally don't know how many times I have to say it. I must have said it in 20 interviews now. I'm NOT attached to it, I don't know why this keeps coming up over and over again."

She went on: "It's flattering in the sense that people are excited about what I'm going to do in the future, but I just don't know where this thing has come from at all, I can't seem to shake it.
"I haven't read the book, I haven't been sent a script, I haven't been approached. I don't know what to say, that's it."
She continued: "I mean also, I've been saying since I was 16, if it's an interesting character, if it's important to character development, if it's the right role, then of course, if that's important to the story then I'll do [sex scenes] because I'm an actress, and that's it really."
Well, we guess that puts that rumour to bed then.

Official Trailer, Poster and NSFW Clip for Dust Up starring Amber Benson
Available On Demand October 2 (and on DVD November 13) is Ward Roberts’ Dust Up, which stars Amber Benson (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), Jeremiah Birkett (The Artist, The Hills Have Eyes), Ezra Buzzington (L.A. Confidential, Homeland) and Travis Betz (director of Joshua, Lo).



Movie review by Keith McDuffee :
Oh, did I mention the movie’s incredibly violent? Yes, that’s where the “grindhouse” thing comes in. There’s no holding back on the absurd violence, and I mean “absurd” most positively. There are a couple of scenes in particular that are very much cringe-worthy, so much so that it’s very likely the movie will retain an NR rating. There is one scene that’ll definitely come across as uncomfortable for many folks, and yet another that’s not really “violent” per se, but is definitely something suited for NR movies. Oh, and for the record, Amber Benson herself mentioned that she insisted one particular scene stay in the film. Unfortunately I can’t tell you what it is without ruining the shock value, but you’ll know it when you see it; it’s “money.”

Support the movie by buying the DVD or subscribing to VOD.

Nikita reveals call from "Playboy" boss
Acting newcomer, Nikita Mirzani, revealed that she was in a good mood thanks to a phone call all the way from the US by Playboy magazine boss, Hugh Hefner.
"We are likely to meet in the near future. Just wait and see," Nikita said as quoted by kompas.com.
Nikita acknowledges that she is determined to build a career as a Playboy model despite the criticism that she is liable to receive from most people here who consider Playboy pornographic.
"Well, Playboy has always been considered a pornographic magazine in this country but not in the US. Besides, the magazine is published in America, not Indonesia. Therefore, it shouldn't bother anyone here," she said.

Hyundai stuns with racy new ad
Hyundai has unveiled a "sensual" new advertisement for the Santa Fe.

The television advert, aptly named Upskirt, was created by an agency called Fitzroy Amsterdam and features women in various stages of undress. In fact, there's even a nipple scene that may make this video a little NSFW...

"In order to introduce the new Hyundai Santa Fe, Fitzroy Amsterdam developed an edgy campaign where the new design — the so-called Storm Edge design — is placed centrally," the agency said.

"With this new design, Hyundai pushes the boundaries within their communication. This is perfectly in line with their pay-off slogan: 'New thinking. New possibilities'."

Sure, sex sells and everything, but a Santa Fe? Really? Surely the typical hot-blooded male isn't part of the target audience?

Well, regardless, you're probably dying to watch it now. Check it out below, but — again — be warned that it may not be suitable to view at work. Not that you're probably even reading this...

'Anjanette look-alike' goes nude on FHM cover

Yam Concepcion is Viva's 'newest sweetheart'

MANILA, Philippines -- The "future headliner" of Viva Entertainment's sexy flicks is being launched in a big way -- via a debut appearance on the cover of men's magazine FHM.

Dubbed as "Viva's newest sweetheart," upcoming actress Yam Concepcion is featured in the October 2012 issue of FHM, where she is seen posing nude on its cover.
A relative newbie to showbiz, Concepcion, according to FHM's official website, is being groomed by the talent management arm of Viva Entertainment to headline its upcoming sexy films.
Now intent on making a name for herself, the "rakista" (she is a drummer for a grunge band called Ursa Minor) is also described as "[Viva's] Anjanette Abayari look-alike" on the production company's profile page for the sexy starlet.
Abayari is a beauty queen-turned-actress who gained popularity in the '90s, notably for portraying the fictional superhero Darna in 1994.
Apart from sharing a resemblance to the former beauty queen, Concepcion may be remembered by some for having appeared on the cover of the defunct men's magazine Maxim in February 2010, and for starring in a number of music videos, including Mayonnaise's "Sinungaling."
Concepcion's appearance on FHM is one of the magazine's more daring covers in recent memory, as it features the first nude cover girl after a string of "bikini" outings.

Flight attendant suspended from job for taking intimate photos of her peers

Flight attendant Wang Lin is a photography enthusiast know in the photography circle, for documenting the life of her peers in the air and on the ground.
Recently, Wang sued her employer Okay Airline and demanded compensation, as she was suspended from her job for nine months over the claims that her photos leaked on the Internet brought the company into disrepute.
Flight attendant suspended from her job for intimate photos
Wang Lin, born in 1973 in Tianjin, became a flight attendant on Hainan Airline in 1992, but she quit in 2003 to study photography at Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. During the period from 2005 to 2010 when she was employed again as a flight attendant on Okay Airline, she undertook her documentary series with consent from her colleagues.
The documentary series show female flight attendants in moments when they were not serving passengers. They were seen resting on board flight or in the dorms after the flight, applying makeups, talking in the phones with families, friends or lovers, sharing their secrets, and with other intimate scenes.
Wang has exhibited the documentary series in a photography festival and won prize.
But it sparked controversy when some anonymous web users turned the photos into a voyeuristic slideshow and spread it online. She was accused of exposing other people’s privacy to the public, and in China, female flight attendants refer to a certain appeal of fantasy to the men.

'Lady whisperer': Cabbie's snaps of topless female passengers land him an exhibit
"I didn't think I could become an up-and-coming artist at my old age," says taxi driver Hans-Jürgen Watzlawek, 68, whose photos of passengers' breasts have gone on display at a Berlin gallery.

MUNICH, Germany – A Berlin taxi driver whose pictures of women exposing their breasts in the back of his cab are being displayed at a local art gallery insists that the black-and-white photographs are nice not naughty.

"It's not about eroticism or sex, but about the breast as a female attribute," cab-driver-turned-artist Hans-Jürgen Watzlawek told NBC News.

Known for its hip and cutting edge exhibitions and galleries, the Berlin art scene sees many edgy pieces of art. Nonetheless, in Europe's self-proclaimed art capital one can always find a new twist on modern art.
It all started four years ago on a night shift when a regular customer told Watzlawek that she suspected she was pregnant because her breasts had grown.

When he said he didn't believe her, she lifted her shirt and exposed her breasts. The cab driver, an avid amateur photographer who always carries a camera, asked if he could snap a picture. She agreed.

How does the 68-year-old explain this openness? 
"The cabin of a taxi has a certain intimacy, it's like in a confessional box," Watzlawek said. "Passengers often share their stories – especially during journeys at night."
(* or in the words of king douche Joe Francis : "because they were drunk")

So over the last four years, he took 50 pictures of topless women. They posed for him after he asked a few who showed an interest in his photography, Watzlawek said, who added that he had never photographed their faces.

"The project lives on anonymity; no woman I have asked has ever complained of sexism," he said.
And he denied that some of the women were drunk when he pictured them, as tabloids have suggested.
About half of the passengers he asked to pose agreed to do so after he told them that he hoped to run an exhibition.

"I was surprised myself, but they told me that I seem trustworthy – maybe you could even call me a lady whisperer," he said.
 
 
 
 
 

'A provocation'Compared to Berlin Art Week, which took place in the city's illustrious galleries earlier this month, Watzlawek's exhibition, which opened on September 20 at the Galeria Casablanca, is a low-key affair although it has attracted considerable attention.
Gallery owner Zoltan Labas said the show, "Flash Berlin 0.1", has been well-received, especially by women, but admits it has been controversial.

"Of course, it's a provocation and it touches the border between art and non-art," he said.
"While the breasts are in the center of the pictures, the backgrounds tell the stories," Labas added. "You see the clothes and posture of the women, or who else is sitting in the cab – at times it's the boyfriend or husband."

Watzlawek is not alone in his unconventional approach to routine places.
Recently, garbage collectors in Hamburg remade a waste container into a pinhole camera to snap the city's streets. It was a successful public relations stunt that won a silver lion at the Cannes International Advertising Festival.

Watzlawek, who is retired but returns to the steering wheel for a couple of nights each month, insists that his exhibition was not a public relations stunt.

"I just want to finance my expensive photography hobby which is difficult with my small pension," he said.
So after several decades working nights as a baker and cab driver he seems to have found his calling, although he doesn't think he's destined to become the next Damien Hirst or Andy Warhol.
"I didn't think I could become an up-and-coming artist at my old age," he said.

Kaya Scodelario, Joe Dempsie, Rory Kinnear, Eddie Marsan to star in C4 drama Southcliffe four-parter about a small-town shooting to be Martha Marcy May Marlene director Sean Durkin's first UK television workKaya Scodelario, Joe Dempsie, Rory Kinnear, Eddie Marsan to star in C4 drama Southcliffe
Skins stars Joe Dempsie and Kaya Scodelario, Black Mirror's Rory Kinnear and acclaimed actor Eddie Marsan (Vera Drake, Tyrannosaur) are among a strong cast that's been announced for new Channel 4 drama Southcliffe.

The four-parter, to be shown next year, explores the fallout from a series of shootings that take place in a single day in a fictional English market town.
Bafta-winning actress Shirley Henderson (Trainspotting, Anna Karenina) is also in the drama's ensemble cast, along with Sean Harris (Prometheus), Anatol Yusef (Boardwalk Empire) and Nichola Burley (Wuthering Heights).

Southcliffe is written by Tony Grisoni (Red Riding), produced by Derrin Schlesinger (Four Lions) for Warp Films, and will be the first UK television project for Sean Durkin, director of the 2011 independent US film Martha Marcy May Marlene.

"Southcliffe is a fictional market town inhabited by fictional characters, but with similarities to many actual people and places in Britain today," Grisoni said. "Invisible people, anonymous places. The inexplicable chain of events at the dark heart of this four-part drama shatters time and space for Southcliffe's inhabitants. Violence and sudden bereavement confronts them with emotions they are unequipped to understand. Rather than analyse or moralise about our characters' actions, we share in them. Southcliffe is an anthem to ordinary people's ability to reinvent themselves in the face of ultimate darkness."

Channel 4 head of drama Piers Wenger added: "Tony Grisoni's unique ability to convey the darkness and subtleties of human behaviour is in full evidence in these four brilliant scripts, and I'm delighted that Warp Films and Tony have found a world class director like Sean Durkin to bring them to life."

Are Sex Scenes Necessary in Film?

The NETFLIX Horror Show Won’t End Well
Investors are depending on too many things going right
Poor Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). Just like a bad horror movie, we know this isn’t going to end well. The one-time growth giant obviously has seen better days — peaking at about $300 a share in 2011 before crashing to under $70 in just four short months. Hopefully, you are quite familiar with this meltdown of Netflix stock last year, and I don’t need to belabor it. (If not, here’s my eulogy from October 2011).
But investing is always about the future, right? Forward-looking forecasts and expectations of better sales and profits ahead no matter what is behind us?

Well, bad news, Netflix stock owners: The sequel to this horror show is going to be pretty bad, too.
Here are the risks, as I see them, to Netflix stock:

No profits: After a loss for the first three months of the year, Netflix put up disappointing earnings again in July. Guidance also was ugly — with a range that includes the potential for more losses both in the upcoming Q3 report and the Q4 report. Netflix is looking to barely break even this year, even if revenue continues to tick higher.
International Cash Burn: So why are profits scarce? Well, because domestic profits grew just 2% thanks to the rather expected decline of the DVD rental business. Also, international revenue growth — thanks to almost 4 million foreign subscribers — has been offset by the investments used to win over new viewers. Thus the paradox of overseas growth gutting the bottom line as NFLX invests in new markets and infrastructure. Long-term, this only works if the profits show up — not if NFLX cannibalizes its existing operations just for top-line growth. Netflix has dreams of being the “first streaming service to reach scale” in each market with a global reach, but that is far from an easy or guaranteed feat.

Original Series Gambles: If rumors are to be believed, the chief content officer at Netflix made an unheard-of $100 million deal with director David Fincher for two full seasons of a series called House of Cards. This is part of the NFLX strategy to become the “HBO of the Internet” with slick original programming that viewers can’t get anywhere else. Like the international gamble, this move only pays off if it shows up on the bottom line — and there are very real risks that the company could just be throwing money down a well. Creating a TV series isn’t like bottling water. There’s a quality factor that must be there. Netflix currently has four original programs either airing, set to air or in development.

Programming Misses: There was a huge spat last year when Netflix failed to renew Starz content, and it officially left NFLX in February. Lately, the content wars have continued to take a toll. Recently there is news that A-and-E shows like Pawn Stars will be gone, and that competitor Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has nabbed movies like The Hunger Games as Epix exclusivity lapsed. Not good.

Competition: Speaking of Amazon, it’s worth noting that even if Netflix figures out its balance sheet and winds up airing slick original programming at home and abroad … well, NFLX constantly will have to look over its shoulder. There’s Amazon Prime — with slick integration into the Kindle HD, too. There’s also
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and its ubiquitous iTunes store and the appeal of the iPad and iPhone as streaming devices. There’s Hulu — the successful streaming venture from old-school TV shops NBC Universal, News Corp‘s (NASDAQ:NWSA) Fox and ABC parent Disney (NYSE:DIS). Heck, even Coinstar (NASDAQ:CSTR) and its DVD-dispensing Redbox brand is getting in on the action thanks to a partnership with Verizon (NYSE:VZ)! In short: Netflix is far from the only game in town.

So let’s review: Netflix stock will go up if the company’s cash burn on international growth plans and original programming pays off in the months (maybe years) ahead, and if it manages to out-stream the competition and negotiate better content deals with better success.
On the other hand, Netflix stock could reasonably go to zero as competition heats up and profits dry up.
And consider this: NFLX has a forward P/E of 60 even after crashing 20% year-to-date and 80% from last July! So don’t fool yourself into thinking you are buying a bargain growth story here or a turnaround play.

You are taking a huge gamble.

Stop watching the Netflix horror show. If you really want to play streaming, just buy Apple or Amazon.

Picture this: Photography student Julia Kozerski knows everybody loves a weight loss story so she lost more than 160 pounds and captured it all in the mirrors of dressing rooms.

But what's more interesting, is the series of naked photographs here where the reality of excess skin is not so pretty.
