The Big White

The most divine and great Holly Hunter (who voiced Elasti-Girl in the magnificent The Incredibles films) stars in The Big White, a crime thriller/comedy that was released in 2005, twenty years ago.

Hunter is captured by the baddies while clad in her PJs.

She's left bound and gagged on her own bed, where she gets an idea.

Seeing the phone, she decides to reach for it with her bound feet.

She even manages to remove her gag and speak into the phone.

When one of her kidnappers approaches, she gets herself back into position as a helpless damsel.

She's later seen being taken out while still gagged. It's a nice, long scene, and the movie overall is very good. Hunter is presently starring in the latest piece of sh...uh, I mean, in the latest Star Trek series, Starfleet Academy--which, judging from the trailers, really doesn't look like it's going to be very good, so I may pass on this one. I still love Holly, though.

Date With An Angel

First off: Happy New Year! In what's turning out to be a perennial favorite of mine, here's Date With An Angel, which doesn't take place on or around Christmas, but still feels like a good film to watch around the holidays.

Emmanuelle Béart stars in this comedy/fantasy from the 1980s about an angel who comes down to Earth to hang out with us mortals. Emmanuelle's angel goes barefoot throughout the entire film.

At one point, a group of guys, realizing that she's a real angel, kidnap her and tie her up.

Since it's an 80s comedy, the humor in Date With An Angel is very broad and slapstick. And so the bondage is also a little on the goofy side.

In addition to getting tied up and gagged, she also gets blindfolded, as well.

Ultimately, she's just fine. She gets rescued by the hero of the film.

But, seeing how this is an wacky 80s comedy, even the rescue is very goofy. Date With An Angel, besides being a good BF/bondage flick, is a fun movie overall and is recommended. Hope you're having a great Holiday Season.

Missing the Party

New Years Eve celebrations get abruptly called off aboard a luxury boat, leaving the would-be party-goers bound, gagged, and wondering if they'll even see the new year in my new Poser picture, which you can see right here.

Note: The picture is from Dangerous Animals.

Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry

I saw Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry for the first time in the movie theater as a kid. In retrospect, I was probably too young to be watching it at that time.

Back then, I was smittened with actress Lynn Borden. She played the wife of a grocery store manager (Roddy McDowell) who gets abducted in her own home (along with her young daughter). She and her daughter are held hostage until McDowell's character pays them a ransom from the store's safe.

I'm not sure if I fell in love with her because she was a beautiful woman, or because she had this great barefoot bondage scene. Even at that tender age I was already a BF bondage fanatic.

Sadly, Lynn left us a few years back, but her performance in DMCL lives on, and you can see it right here.

P2

P2, a thriller about a woman executive (Rachel Nichols) getting trapped in a parking garage with a psycho who works as a security guard (Wes Bentley), has become another Christmas movie in the tradition of Diehard.

It takes place during the Holiday Season, like Diehard. But instead of dodging a group of terrorists, Angela (Nichols) jut has to stay one step ahead of Thomas (Bently).

There's brief bondage, with Angela gettng her wrists cuffed behind her back at one point.

But P2 is worthwhile because Nichols loses her shoes and goes barefoot throughout the better part of the film's running time.

So it's a great BF thriller. And since it takes place on Christmas Eve, you can watch it along with Diehard, or Batman Returns. P2 was the direct inspiration for I Love You, a 2023 Indian Hindi-language film.

The Scans

I called this post "The Scans" because the pictures were all scanned from magazines.

As you can see by the subject matter in each photo, they were scanned from bondage magazines.

I didn't scan them myself. I was way too shy back then to get these magazines myself. They were always on the top shelf of the magazine section, in full view of the front counter, with both the store workers and customers all watching as you picked up a copy of BONDAGE DELIGHTS? Oh, no way! No thanks.

When I first got online, back in the mid 1990s, I found several sites that offered scans from these magazines.

Every New Years, I get these romantic notions about years' past, and the nostalgia for things from times before overtakes me.

Until I remember that things aren't so bad now. I can download stuff pretty quickly these days--as opposed to waiting a half an hour just to download a still picture.

Camelot

Hard to believe that Camelot, the TV show that aired on Starz, is almost fifteen years old, now.

The series, which attempted to be a more rough and gritty version of the King Arthur legend, only lasted one season before being canceled.

But it still gave us Eva Green in this bondage scene in the second episode, The Sword and the Crown.

She's placed there overnight by King Lot (James Purefoy, who also starred in Rome), who's not happy with her attitude.

She survives behind tied to a pole with her hands over her head all night (as well as being in a skimpy outfit in the cold).

As noted before, this more gritty and salacious take on the King Arthur legend didn't fly, but this same darker and sexier tone with a fantasy story would explode in popularity just a few years later on HBO with Game of Thrones.
