Film Festival 2

Poster of the original Django movie.

Ciao. Here is my second little film-festival. It's about Spaghetti Westerns. It's a huge genre that started in the early 60's and going on for more than two decades. It probably had some roots in the 50's with the Zorro and the Zapata characters. With the links and some deep googling you can get a masters-degree in Spaghetti Westerns.

Here I focus on Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. The relaese was postponed for the Newport "incident". That was a respectful gesture. I'm not going into that, simply because I have no words for this tragedy. In January the movie will be in the cinema's. The press already had a preview and the reviews are good.

The Django character (Franco Nero) was basically created, produced and directed by Sergio Corbucci in 1966.

---

Clint Eastwood, Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone are probably the best known names for their Dollar Trilogy.

"I think [the Leone films] changed the style, the approach to Westerns [in Hollywood]. They made the violence and the shooting aspect a little more larger than life, and they had great music and new types of scores. They were stories that hadn't been used in other Westerns. They just had a look and a style that was a little different at the time: I don't think any of them was a classic story, like [John Wayne's 1956] The Searchers or something like that. (Clint Eastwood, reflecting on the impact of the Dollar Trilogy).

---

- Eli Wallach was the Good
- Clint Eastwood was the Bad
- Lee Van Cleef was the Ugly
Oh man, how I love Lee Van Cleef.

But there is more. Much more. There were more than 500 spaghetti westerns made. In this little film-festival we want to show you some roots and backgrounds of Spaghetti Westerns. Without further ado, here are some moving pictures;

• The Spaghetti West is a docu about the genre.
• Here is a long interview with Clint Eastwood.
• Here is the original 1966 Django movie.

There are some prequels and sequels. Quality is mixed. But in a film festival you can expect several movies;

• (1966) Few Dollars for Django
• (1968) Viva Django
• (1971) W Django

Enjoy.

Strad

In this blog, a Strad is as much a legend as a Fender Stratocaster. You can search my blog for 'Fender' or 'Zappa' to read the Jimi Hendrix stratocaster story.

Girls, girls, gils. Musical girls. No Rihanna, Madonna, Gaga or Beyoncé. My girls are of the classical type. No misunderstanding; every poppy girl went through thousands of hours of practice ands devotion. Respect for every body.

Why does a Stradimarius or a Giardini violin sound so great? They tried to replicate it many times. Nobody ever succeeded. It was not the lacker. The story goes, that around the 1700's there was a mini ice-age. Trees grew slower then. Especially on the north side of the Italian Alps. That's where the wood came from. I like this lovely 'broodje aap' story.

I'm not sure if it was French philosopher Pierre Bourdieu who stated that reality is all imagination and imagination is all reality. A deep thought, but not very practical.

How do you get this bunch of sexy women into one blog? Well, years and years of practicing. I blogged them all before. Enjoy these lucious lady's.

• Carmen Habanera. Most classic sexy scene ever.
• Rita Moreno likes to be in America.
• Olivia Newton John and this greasy scientology guy.
• Abba The Dancing Queen.
• Willeke Alberti is Dutch camp.
• Maria Callas in Tosca.
• Karsu Dönmez Dutch-Turkish jazz pianist.
• Didem is famous Turkish belly-dancer.
• Monique van de Ven and Rutger Houwer in Turkish Delight.
• Julia Fisher does it on violin ánd piano.
• Janine Jansen on violin. She once had a short burn-out.
• Valentina Lisitsa (pianist from Ukraïne).
• Hanna-Elisabeth Müller (Soprano).
• Danielle de Niese did sexy Haydn operas.
• Ria Valk is a Dutch Gay Icon. I love her.
• Tante Leen and Johnny Jordaan also Gay Icons.
• Elizabeth Tailor got an oscar for this, he didn't.
• Marilyn Monroe was 'close' with JFK.

You must have noticed by now my classic kink. Here's a Beethoven clip from Valentina Lisitsa Beethovens's Moonlight Serenade.

Beethoven

Pink girl on a black piano.

So beautiful. The triple concert from Ludwig van Beethoven. Not played anymore nowadays, because of the awkward casting. I have a vinyl version somewhere. How do you get three world-toppers together. This is a pretty unique full concert movie
- Yo Yo Ma (cello)
- Itzhak Perlman (violin)
- Daniel Barenboim (piano, director)

He is my role model. I'm a fan of Ludwig van Beethoven. He was German. Same age as Georg Wilhelm Friedriech Hegel. Also a semi-genius. A super-great German philosopher, but completely incomprehensible. Hegel gave me a good gut-feeling for the rest of my life. Deep thoughts and great overview. I even suspect Beethoven's 9th symphony was an ode to Hegel's 'Phänomenologie des Geistes'. Nonsence, it was the German Zeitgeist.

I'ts a real difference between van Beethoven and von Beethoven. The "von" depicts (in German) that he was from noble descent. He was definitely not. Young Beethoven was a fan of Napoleon. His 'Eroica' was dedicated to him. Later on he became disappointed with in Napoleon.

There's a movie around in the cloud ('Copying Beethoven') about a young girl that's copying his scribbles for a decent publication. Grumpy, lively, deaf, old man. That's the way I want to see Ludwig (I'm terminal romantic). In this scene she is conducting the conductor on his first performance of his last symphony. Mind you, he was stone-deaf at that time. So lovely.

Totally flabbergasted when I first heard this music. Not sure how it became The European Anthem.

Yue must be aware of my Beethoven kink by now. Here is a clip from Valentina Lisitsa Beethovens's Moonlight Serenade.

Julia

Julia Fischer.

No, this is no accident, all pictures are black-and-white in tone. That's the hallmark of this blog.

As a contrast with my previous blog, I want to introduce Julia Fisher. She is a great looking super-multi-talented woman, who plays the piano and the violin as wel with big orchestras. Here she's playing a piano-concerto of Grieg.

She also can pretty good play the violin. Multi-talented woman. Click here to see her play the Mendelssohn violin concerto.

I stated before on this blog, that classical music can be very sexy. I even suspect agents and producers to promote sexy women like Janine Jansen. She is a Dutch fiddler with raving critics, especially in the UK.

Now, that was typical Dutch. To downplay our greatest assets. The RCO (Royal Concertbuilding Orchestra) was once pronounced as The Best Orchestra In The Whole Wide World, even before the Wiener and Berliner crews. That's something to be proud of. But it got little attention here in the Netherlands. They have a long Mahler tradition with directors like van Beinum, Bernard Haitink, Ricardo Chally, and now Mariss Jansons.

Mariss can even make the Wiener sound great. He is a modest genius. That's what we like here in the Netherlands. No pompous Karajans or Haitink ego's. Brilliant Italian Ricardo Chailly did some great work with the RCO but he was definitely a cultural mismatch. I think Leonard Bernstein (RIP) would be a great director for the RCO. He also was a composer (West Side Story). As a director he was more pronounced than Mariss. I was just blown right out of my pants, when I saw Leonard Bernstein explaining Gustav Mahler to an audience of 12 yo kids.

I just got my ticket for the Concertgebouw. December 19th. Balcony, best seat, 125,= Euro. Concert of the RCO with Mariss Jansons. Third symphony of Mendelssohn. Best combination in the whole wide world.
"Remember, to shave your armpits and dress classy for this event, and don't forget some clean underwear".

The last time I visited the Concert Building was with my highschool class. About 40 years ago. They played an Opera from Mozart. I couldn't understand a word of it, but it was very impressive. Some daring highschool teachers still have a warm place in my hart.

Drifting away agian. Back to Julia. In these clips she plays the piano with The Junge Deutsche Philharmonie, (Young German Philharmonic), conductor is Matthias Pintscher. Enjoy.

• Edvard Grieg, Piano Concerto, first movement
• Edvard Grieg, Piano Concerto, second movement
• Edvard Grieg, Piano Concerto, third movement

Karsu [2]

Karsu Dönmez at the piano. (c) www.karsu.nl

Will you believe this coincidence? I'm now boasting. I once had an old "draft" blog about Karsu Dönmez. She is a good looking Turkisch-Dutch jazz singer-pianist. I misspelled her name as Karzu. I recently published this old blog with some You-tubes. She was 18 yo then. Now she is 22 yo and just got back from a tour in Indonesia. My today's newspaper has a full-page interview with her. They made a movie of her, shown at the IDFA (Amsterdam Documentary Film Festival).

Obvious weird, that I found this talent four years ago. She then was still playing the piano in Kilim, her father's restaurant.

What's the big deal, bro? Well, coincidence or not, but I spotted some girly talents, well before they became famous. When you dig deep into my blog you can find some examples. Search for 'Doutzen Kroes' Dutch super model and now a sound mother. My first mentioning her was also from years ago.

Religious

The St. Nicolas Church in Amsterdam is now a Basilique. That's a special kind of catholic church. We only have five or six of them in the Netherlands. You must make a reservation - well in before - to attend the Christmas Eve Mass. St. Nicolas is the Protector Saint of Amsterdam. Funny, because The Netherlands are pretty protestant, especially the northern parts.

I'm an atheist, a non-believer. I swear, I drink, I smoke and I watch movies. I think Israel can do better and I love the Jewish Princess. I think some Islam radicals are crazy and I love the Alhambra. I love the Pope, mainly because of his former German background and the Vatileaks.

Sorry, this is a semi-serious introduction to a cunning plan. I really advice everyone to proceed this steep path and keep some braincells working. It's a little daring project and takes a few hours per month. You don't have to be religious. Let's say it's part of your education.

My own next project in life. To visit at least one sermon in;

• A mosque. There's one here just around the corner. I must talk with the (what's he called) and I must know if he's preaching in my language. You must take of your shoes and wash your feet. I love this ritual. Mind your toe-nails and your socks. That's all what I know. But there must be more. Some research to do.
• A synagoge. Must be a lot around here in Amsterdam. It is essential that you keep your hat on in a synagoge. You can't appear bold-headed before God. That is completely opposite to a catholic or protestant church, where you must take your hat of (Joe Cocker). I have several hats. I first must find a rabbi to talk me through the rituals.
• A basilique is a highly rewarded catholic church. The St. Nicolas church in Amsterdam is just promoted to a basilique. We have now five of them in the Netherlands. X-mess mass was the trigger. You have to make reservations nowadays. Dutch writer Gerard van het Reve went catholic and the Pope just stimulated Latin language. I like that.
• A protestant church. It must be 50 years ago when I last visited a protestant church with my mother. I'm not going mediocre. It must be the blackest doom and hell preacher. Something like Jerry Falwell. Hard to find in Amsterdam.

Protestant church history in the Netherlands is facinating literature. It all started in the 1600's when we struggled our way out of the Sapnisch rule during the 80-year war and became a protestant country. First discussions were about strict or relative predestination. Since then, and up till this year, there were a lot of splits. There's a Dutch protestant website that goes black every Sunday. Whatever you may think of that, I have respect for their adherence to principles. I have no principles. The Dutch have no principles. A Belgian politician once had a good description of principles; It's like a fart that escapes without making any noise.

The Book of Mormons and the Story of Scientology are completely creepy. Sometimes I shiver and sometimes I laugh. But I always cry at the songs of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Silly Story

I Van Who?

Not my photo. All copyrights go to the owner.

Ik zit weer ongelofelijk te wippen en te flippen. Je kent I-van-hoe? Wie? Ja die. Lees even verder. Mijn moeder (duitse) leerde mij de engelse taal. Gewoon fonetisch inslikken en dan uitspreken op zijn nederlands en daarna uitspugen in plat engels. Cockny is het best. Hi Gov'ner. En dan schuiven er weer wat clipjes onder de deurmat. Pygmalion (1938) is een aanrader. Zwart-wit. Oscars gewonnen. George Bernhard Shaw. Eliza Doolittle. Professor Higgins. Kolonel Pickering. Mijn moeder was toen 15 jaar oud. Zij werd later een fan van Winston Churchil. Tweede wereldoorlog. Daar heeft ze haar engels vandaan. Beroemd dialoogje;

• Werkster: If I was married with you, I would poison your tea.
• Winston: If I was maried with you, I would drink it.

En zo sloop de zwarte humor langzaam maar zeker mijn leven binnen. Van de hak op de tak. De Ivanhoe intro kun je hier bekijken. Roger Moore. Sir Walter Scott. The Saint. James Bond. Lekkere vent.
De nederlandse tekst is zo gaaf geweldig om luiduit mee mee te schreeuwen;

• Ivanhoe (solo, 2x)
• Ivanhoe (koor)
• Onvervaard gaan wij te paard met Ivanhoe
• Waar hij gaat of staat, we zijn steeds aan z'n zij
• We zijn paraat en zingen vrij en blij
• Ivanhoe (2x)
• Overal door bos en dal met Ivanhoe
• De vrijheid in z'n leuze
• gerechtigheid in't land
• Er is voor hem geen keuze
• z'n zwaard is in z'n hand
• kom we gaan, allen tezaam
• Voorwaarts met Ivanhoe, met Ivanhoe

Hoe krijg je een zelfgemaakte foto in je blogje. Ik moet weer even heel diep nadenken. De .jpg moet een url hebben in de wolk. Dat is wel duidelijk. Google onthoud alles. Dus eerst je foto's omhoog laden naar Picasa.

Nee, Ho, Stop.

Je foto's zijn veel te groot. Je gratis Picasa-account is binnenkort opverbruikt. Daarna moet je betalen. Wat moet ik dan doen? Rustig blijven. Open Lightroom en importeren als 4000 Kikas en exporteren als 400 Kikas. In een aparte map. Dan kun je het mapje met foto's exporteren en omhoog laden naar je eigen Picasa.

Stop maar. Ik word nu al knettergek. De foto hierboven is van 2011 toen ik nog puf had. Ik ben nu te lui en te lam om nieuwe foto's te uploaden. Komt later.

Karzu

A new kid on the block, is it for real or is it just her looks. She is an 18 yo. Dutch pianist and singer from Turkisch descent, discovered when she was 15 yo. and no CD yet, but she performed (was asked) in Carnagy Hall. She plays some jazzy-blues music on the piano. Recomended by my nephew as the Dutch Nora Jones (and you know what that means).

She has some tubes though;
- A short Dutch docu about Karzu and her family.
- Karzu plays Take-5 in a cafe
- Karzu plays a bluesy piano on Duth TV

Yes, I just like this multi-culty stuff ... ;)

Testing Testing 1 2 3

Almost a thousand entries on my blog and after two years of absence I must re-train myself in HTML-5 syntax. Looking back, there were lots of joys in arts, music, film, opera, sex and sleaze. But sometimes I overdid it. More joys to come in 2013. An iPal asked me for some help to start his own blog. I would suggest to follow your own blog-provider. Coding HTML is fun but also time-consuming and for the . On the other hand while I am re-training myself, I better spell it all out for you. This looks like a good moment to pass some knowledge that I collected the past few years.
To spice-up your blog, you need some basic html-coding skills. Actually, some are not that basic. I wish to thank my Nephew for all the evenings and nights that he showed me hands-on the HMTL basics.
I only learned about 10+ tips and tricks. That's enough. They all (and more) can be found on the w3school.
Here is an example of a 400 pix wide picture and a picture caption in a smaller font. Birdman of Alcatraz (1962) I get my pictures usually from a Google-search; but they must be persistent and free accessible. You can upload your own picture to Picasa.com (also from Google). You can scale pictures up and down with the "width" attribute. Scaling-up will give you some quality loss as is shown in this example; the original was about 350 pix wide and it was scaled-up to 400 pix.

When you scale-down a picture to fit your blog, you can add a "click here to enlarge" message, when the mouse hovers over the picture. Both URL's are typically the same.

---

Here is an example of what you can do with formatting tags in html. I use them very seldom because the text can look pretty shitty cluttered. I use the © Copyright tag with pictures when it is known. I think this is standard etiquette. The Trademark™ tag is rarely used on non-commercial websites.

You can control text with the font statement. This example uses size="3" face="verdana" color="yellow".

---

Here is a simple example of an (unordered) list. I don't like the big spacing;

• Red


• White


• Blue

---

Another example with the font tag used;

• Red


• White


• Blue

---

You can make more advanced lists (and tables) by replacing the Red/White/Blue text with hotlinks to sites.

• Homepage of the CIA


• Homepage of the FBI


• Homepage of the NSA

---

Here is a last example of a smaller picture (half the blog size) with text wrapped around it. The picture is of William of Orange and the text is the text of the Dutch hymn. In this example you don't use a break between the picture and the text.


1. Wilhelmus van Nassouwe
ben ik, van Duitsen bloed,
den Vaderland getrouwe
blijf ik tot in den dood.
Een prinse van Oranje
ben ik, vrij onverveerd,
den Koning van Hispanje
heb ik altijd geëerd.

---

A nice element on your blog is a preview and a link to a YouTube clip. You can copy-paste the object embed code from YouTube. It's easy when you keep the aspect ratio right; about 400x320 pix for my blog. Here are the Dutch Women Volleyball team singing our National Hymn.

---

I skip the table.html for now; it's too complicated to explain; maybe later. You can do very well without it. I uploaded the html 8kb .txt coding file for this blog to several sites file. The file is called TTUN.txt (Tips and Tricks from Uncle and Nephew). Take your pick;
- From RapidShare
- From MegaUpload
- From HotFile
- From SendSpace
.php?cat=other&file=TTUN.txt">From YourFileHost

Good luck, Harry

Cigarettes

Scene from Seville (Spain)

Another [1984] movie. It's situated around the cigarette factory in Seville (Spain) in the 19th century. It's all about love, passion, jealousy, bull-fights, a frivolous gypsy girl (Carmen), a handsome corporal (Don Jose) and a not so happy ending.

My father introduced me to this Carmen opera (thanks Pa) and it made a firm impression on me since - for its story, its catchy songs and its sexy undertones.

Georges Bizet was a French music composer from Paris in the Romatic style. So, here is his best story and greatest (last) opera. Not sure if he was ever into Andalusian territory, but he did his research; I've been in Seville and saw the factory with my own eyes. It's a great building and its still there, but it has other usages today. The opera is so great.

---

Just to warm you up, try some clips from the Tube;
- Carmen overture with some Chilean 'balls'
- Sexy 'Habanera' song with English subtitles
- 'Toreador' from Dmitri & choir is impressive

---

'La Plaza de Toros de Ronda' (~100 miles SE of Seville) is THE bull-fight-temple in southern Spain. The BF scenes in this movie are from there and they are awesome. I've never seen any 'arty' bull-fight scenes in any movie; here is your chance.

Not for the faint-of-heart. When the toreador conquered the bull, he cut of his balls as a trophy. Ernest Hemingway was a bull-fight-fan. He is one of my heroes, maybe a substitute father (sorry Pa). Spinning around again. I did a holiday tour in southern Spain and I kinda fell in love with this region.

---

Take a look at this Ronda bull-fight movie . There are A- and B- category Toreadors; same as in Football / Soccer. This B-clip is very instructive for beginners. The Toreador is the star of the show. Some Picadors pinch the bull with some nasty spears to make him jumpy (always a HIM). The final scene is, that the Toreador will stab the bull with his sable between the shoulder-blades down through his heart. The bull then goes down, and he can take his balls. Finally the bull-corpse is dragged away by two horses.

---

George Bizet(1838–1875)did his Carmen opera a year before he died. Bizet now lies on the celeb-only cemetery Père Lachaise in Paris. I've been there too and it was an existentialist experience.

---

Bizet, Carmen, 1984, Spanish and English subtitles. Director: Francesco Rosi. Cast: Julia Migenes (Carmen), Placido Domingo (Don Jose).

Photo (c) Ansel Adams

The 'Gulf-stream Waters' made me post this one. Because it is such a mess over there, even I (Urp) am worried. Besides that (as a runner-up for the 4th of July) this is the best ever PR song for the USA. American children should sing this song every morning in primary schools. I even don't mind if this will become the USA National Hymn (oh, what silly thoughts again);

- The original is from Woody Guthrie.
- This is a Los Lobos version.
- Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen.

Easter

This looks like a movie-only blog (and probably it is) and I'm not going to correct it. Like some other guys around I'm just following my hormones (i.e. moods and tastes).

For Easter though, there is here now some great classical music for Easter. I just found this exceptional music in a top quality format.

I had some chat this weekend with an iPal about Texas and 18-wheelers. I just realized (sorry, a bit late) that they must drive for 1000's of miles while we in Urp will do with a few 100's. It makes me longing for road-movies and road-songs. But there were already so many on this blog.

This is probably the one and only Dutch trucker song, It is great and I didn't blogged before. You can look at it as silly Dutch culture (that is the normal attitude) or as a semi-culty expression of Dutch arts (which I am inclined to).

Rock

from a concert in Beesd (Netherlands) - bottle in pussy

Found, lost and found again. Typically one of those rare finds that you do not watch every weekend. Julie (lead singer), Nikki (keyboards), Babe (backup vocals and rhythm guitar), Jo (drums), the Bitch (bass guitar) the Beast (lead guitar), Lucy (the slut).

Ten

GC is wanted on many music festivals

I was tricked by her age. She was a sweet sixteen when she did her first album and I expected some nice poppy songs again on her second album. But this is an Australian girl with different standards. She may well be the next Mad-Ga-Ga.

[ja neephje, ik had haar al twee jaar geleden in het snotje]

Yesterday she signed her second album here in Amsterdam for her fans. Pretty fat disco sounds, inspired by the 1970's. There were articles and PR interviews in the papers here, about her very first full-house performances at Paradiso and Glastonbury. She already speculated about her third album – New Orleans country & piano sounds.

I still give her the benefit of the doubt. Very promising sounds, but she needs to find a style of her own. I said that two years ago and it still stands.

Ellen

Ellen is actually a performster, not a singster

Ellen ten Damme is a Dutch multi-talented actress, singer & performer. She is near-celeb because she is a hard-to-corner and serious professional with few connections to the paparazzi (the hallmark of all Dutch near-celebs).

She can be very raunchy but she is always very classy. Ellen is straight, honest, confused, sexy, humorous and hot in these tubes. Look further for more Ellen-Fun.

She is doing her thing now for some years and still is grossly underestimated here in the Netherlands. I made some pre-boom predictions on this blog (of which 30% came thru) hyping some kids before they were well-known. I wish I could do that for Ellen, but I'm afraid she is too professional to be hyped.

Yes, you can compare Ellen with Lady Gaga. The major difference is that Ellen is much more direct and explicit in her songs & texts. The German title of the second tube ("Plattgefickt") translates somewhere into "Fucked Silly" or "Plat Geneukt" in Dutch.

- Ellen talks about Pippi Langstrumpf (my Heroin) and the Daily Lama (Dutch).
- Ellen in her "Fucked Silly" performance (German)

I'm sure you can Wiki, Google and Tube a lot more from Ellen.

Louis

My Nephew lost a real uncle. This blog is for them.

Louis Davids (no Wiki) was a Dutch singer and entertainer in the 1930's. His language skills (song texts) are still remarkable to today's standards. When you like Dutch language. Underestimated, he was the Godfather of Dutch stand-up-comedians. Here are some tubes and tracks – all in Dutch language.

- The Nickel song (Dubbeltje – Kwartje) is famous and pathetic
- The Scheveningen Beach song is romance
- The football-match (Ajax – Blauw Wit) is all humor
- The (Zuiderzee) South See ballad is Dutch history
- Voor de Bakker ('Done') is a Dutch saying since this song
- Summer Telegrams (.mp3) sounds like a 1937 rap
- His most famous 1937 'Ford' song is here in .mp3 format

Girls

Carice van Houten in Paul Verhoeven's Black Book movie

Sorry, Paul (Dutch) Verhoeven again. I did some research but then; here is Paul 'Robocop' Verhoeven's Showgirls (1995) movie. You know my love for Paul by now; he is also Dutch and he makes crazy good movies. Showgirls was awarded a Razzie in 1996 (worst movie) and Paul was the first director who showed up in person to pick up his prize. That was a stunning act and lifted him (and the movie) to semi-cult status.

Paul demands a lot from his stars. Amazing what he let his actors do on-screen. In 'Zwartboek' (Black Book) Carice van Houten (Dutch Super Star) is blending her pubic hair with peroxide to look like an Arian woman to seduce the Nazi officer. I must post this movie sometime.

It looks that the raunchiest scenes from Showgirls are not around on the Tube, so I posted some myself;
- Showgirls (1995) – Her First Topless Dance
- Showgirls (1995) - The $500 Lapdance
- Showgirls (1995) - The Pool Scene

A fan on imdb wrote;
People love to trash this movie for some reason. Sure, it has its cheesy moments and maybe there is some over-acting on the part of a couple of the actresses, but still, this movie has some really fun scenes. You just can't take this movie too seriously and still enjoy it. Watch it as if it is a raunchy comedy and you won't be disappointed.

I think it is hypocritical that the same country that made the movie Basic Instinct a hit would trash this one. I just feel sorry for Elizabeth Berkley since this movie probably ruined her career. Still, I think we should all give her another chance. She's worth it. Don't all our Saved By the Bell loyalties mean anything? I want to close by saying that I am proud to own this movie in my personal video collection. It is a cult classic in the making!!!

The full 130 minute .avi movie comes in about 8 x 100 MB. parts.
It is English spoken and has a separate Turkish subtitle file.
No PSW. All credits go to the original uploader.
