Happy Death Day

Happy Death Day is a horror movie version of of Groundhog Day, the famous Bill Murray movie where he relives the same day over and over. Lead actress Jessica Rothe is a joy to watch as she relives the same miserable day on repeat where she gets hunted down and killed by a psycho in a mask.

What makes this film even more pleasant for me is there are numerous scenes where Jessica goes barefoot.

There's even one scene where she literally throws her shoes away and walks barefoot through the campus grounds.

The movie is extremely funny as well as being a good slasher mystery.

And there's even a scene where Jessica gets handcuffed by a cop (she's not BF here, though).

She willingly allows herself to be arrested, thinking she'll be in a nice, safe jail cell. Of course, things don't work out that way. I liked this so much that I highly recommend it. Avoid the sequel, though. It's nowhere as good as the first film, and lacks any BF scenes.

Dune Part 3 Trailer

They released a new trailer for Dune Part 3. And there's a brief sequence of a barefoot woman walking through what looks like sand....

....or is it ash?

When they pull back, we see she's walking BF through what looks like a mass execution field. Is it Alia, the sister of Paul Atreides? Alia is played by Anya Taylor-Joy. All in all, I can't wait to see this. The trailer is below:

Asmirandah Diiket

I didn't know what the name of the show this clip was from, until I saw the title of the clip itself. It's Asmirandah Diiket.

Although I know nothing about the production, this is one of my favorite scenes, because she's tied up barefoot. There's also something about the look of a barefoot woman in jeans that suits me just fine, regardless of whether they're tied up or not.

I don't know much more than what I've seen in the clip, which you can see right here.

Just Checking On You

A bikini-clad bound captive gets check up on by her captor, who assures her that her ransom will be paid soon. Very small comfort being offered in my latest Poser picture, which you can see right here.

Note: this picture is from Dead Sea.

Primate

Primate is a natural horror film about a pet chimpanzee that gets rabies and goes on a rampage throughout its household, which includes a gaggle of twenty-somethings.

And these twenty-somethings, all women (with one guy), go barefoot throughout the entire movie.

Johnny Sequoyah (yep, that's her name), Jessica Alexander, Victoria Wyant, and Gia Hunter round out the female cast who wind up getting trapped with a rabies-infected monkey in a swanky, cliffside mansion.

Primate, as a film overall, is very good. It manges to create some superb suspense over its lean 90 minute run time.

The chimp is played by Miguel Torres Umba in make up. Real Chimpanzees are no longer used in movies and TV because they're considered too dangerous.

Chimpanzees are very strong, and there's a real-life horror story of a woman getting brutally attacked by one when it abruptly charged her. HBO Max has a documentary series called Chimp Crazy, about people who are determined to keep chimps as pets (often treating them like members of the family). Movies like Primate, as well as Nope, show what a dangerous idea this is.

I didn't mean to turn this into a public service message about the dangers of keeping chimps, but I ran into the weeds while reseaching this topic. There's no bondage in Primate, but plenty of non-stop BF scenes.

Aeon Flux

Aeon Flux was a science fiction animated series that aired on MTV (right around when they stopped airing music videos--which is what they're sole purpose was, what they were originally named after, but whatever).

In the episode Chronophasia, Aeon finds herself on an adventure deep in the jungles, only to get captured by Trevor Goodchild, her arch enemy/lover. To say they have a toxic relationship is putting it mildly.

Barefoot, and clad in a special suit, she's seated bound in a chair inside of a tent. And the whole time that Goodchild is passive-aggressively gloating over her, Aeon is working on freeing her hands.

But what's weird about this scene is the fact that, in some shots, Aeon's feet are clearly not tied.

And yet once she frees her hands, Aeon actually has to bend over to untie her ankles, which are now bound together.

Still, just the fact that she was barefoot in this scene at all is pretty nice. This animated series had a strange, dream-like quality to it, where each of the episodes were completely self-contained--but they still told this overall story. It's worth seeking out not only for this scene, but for its general weirdness factor.

Happy Fourth of July

Just wanted to wish you a very Happy Fourth of July today. Two hundred and fifty years! May the USA see another 250 and beyond. The picture is an AI that was prompted by me.
