if kauf mir liebur einen tirolerhut

In If kauf mir liebur einen tirolerhut, a bunch of local women feel threatened by a group of young, good looking tourists. So the local women decide to kidnap the younger women en mass.

Fortunately (for me) the younger women are abducted from their beds, while they are barefoot and clad in scant sleep wear. The local women take them to a barn.

But the younger women prove to be just as inventive as the local folk, and start working to get themselves free. This is a very broad comedy with a great barefoot bondage scene that features five damsels.

I haven't actually seen this entire film, but this clip of the scene from M Johns is the best version of it, being longer with a clear picture.

Suspiria

I really wasn't looking forward to seeing the remake of Susipira, the 1977 horror movie directed by the Italian maestro of film fear, Dario Argento. But when I saw this first trailer, I was intrigued.

For one thing, there's this shot of Dakota Johnson (daughter of Don) dancing in her bare feet. She plays a student at a prestigious academy.

And then there's this shot, featuring a woman (Dakota Johnson?) tied to a table. So there's definitely scenes of barefooted women and bondage in this, but do we have barefoot bondage scenes? Hmm. Stuff to ponder until this comes out in the fall. :)

True love...and duct tape

Annie, my magician's assistant, meets a new guy whom she's attracted to. Of course, when they first meet, the guy's binding Annie up hand and foot. Has this potential relationship already hit the rocks? See for yourself right here.

Annihilation

Here are vidcaps of the scene from Annihilation, featuring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Tessa Thompson tied to chairs.

It's VERY dark...literally. I had to brighten these pictures in a photo program.

It's a scene that comes by surprise, because the book that this film was based on didn't have any bondage in it.

The women are a scientific team who're sent to investigate a strange anomaly called The Shimmer.

To say that they have an interesting adventure is putting it mildly.

The above Poser picture, created by me, is my take on this scene. None of this "fully dressed while sleeping" nonsense. :)

I, Poster

Clearing out my files today, and I came across this picture. It's the poster for a movie that's supposed to be an interactive horror movie. I checked the IMDB page, and it doesn't look as if it's been released. Very nice poster, though.

Night Gallery

A deep cut here. The TV series Night Gallery was known as Rod Serling's "second show" after the more famous Twilight Zone. Like TZ, NG was an anthology series, telling a new tale with every episode.

One of the episodes of NG was The Doll of Death, starring Susan Strasberg as a woman who lives in the West Indies. She's about to get married to a wealthy plantation owner, but ditches him at the last minute for her lover.

Problems arise when the ditched plantation owner switches to voodoo to get revenge.

Strasberg, who was the daughter of actor Lee Strasberg, goes barefoot throughout the entire episode.

The episode was directed by John Badham, who would go on to direct Wargames and Blue Thunder.

The Doll of Death aired during the third season of Night Gallery.

It's available in various forms of media.

Mistborn

I wish I could say that I read this because I was looking for something different to read. But I have to admit that it was the cover, featuring a barefoot heroine in action, that initially drew me to this book.

Mistborn is first book in a fantasy series that takes place in a land that's ruled by The Final Empire, which is commanded by the Lord Ruler, a cruel and seemingly invincible man who has lived for ages. The title of the book refers to people--both men and women--with special powers who can 'Push' metals. For example, they place a coin-sized piece of metal on the ground, and by 'pushing' against it, they can fly through the air.

And yes, the heroine, Vin, does go barefoot through the better part of the book--at least for the action scenes. She can't be wearing shoes when she's 'pushing' metal, or else she won't be able to take full advantage of her powers (she also needs to wear special clothes, as well). But aside from it satisfying my little quirk, Mistborn is a superb fantasy. Brandon Sanderson does a marvelous job with the small details, and he puts in plenty of twists along the way. It's highly recommended.
