Rule Five Sunday: Black Widow

— compiled by Wombat-socho Has it really been two weeks since the last Rule 5 Sunday? Ugh. Well, nothing for it but to Yes! Candidate for this week’s appetizer was going to be Scarlett Johannson as Black Widow, but since she’s whining about having been shamelessly exploited for her luscious body as opposed to being […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Sean Young

— compiled by Wombat-socho We’re now in November of 2019, which is when the movie Blade Runner is supposed to take place, and there’s been a lot of discussion online about the resemblances between Los Angeles in the movie and Los Angeles in real life. Our concern, however, is with the ladies of that movie, […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Ingrid Pitt

— compiled by Wombat-socho Halloween draws near, the time when everybody pulls out the horror films that have been gathering dust in the DVD rack all year.

Rule 5 Sunday: Roll Tide!

— compiled by Wombat-socho Quick and dirty since I have to pack up and drive to Carson City tonight so the State Bureau of Disability Adjudication can’t lose my paperwork again.

Rule 5 Sunday: Revolution Calling

— compiled by Wombat-socho It’s been a disappointing week on the Rule 5 front.

Rule 5 Monday: Chris Noel

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, this week’s appetizer literally came out of nowhere. I was browsing Twitter and came across a piece on forgotten pinup girls from the Vietnam War, one of whom was Chris Noel. A star of beach movies in the 1960, Chris became famous to Vietnam Vets as hostess of the Armed […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Summertime Girls

— compiled by Wombat-socho I guess most of the country’s moved on to autumn, what with Labor Day being almost a month in the past, football season underway, and friends in states next to Canada already being vexed with snow, but here in Sin City it’s still warm enough to hit the beaches, and where […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Cecile Haussernot

— compiled by Wombat-socho Time flies, doesn’t seem a minute Since the Tyrolean spa had the chess boys in it All change don’t you know that when you Play at this level there’s no ordinary venue It’s Iceland, or the Philippines, or Hastings, or…or this place! -“One Night In Bangkok”, Murray Head Well, chess isn’t […]
