Rule 5 Sunday: All You Need Is Kill

— compiled by Wombat-socho This was, of course, the title of the manga and light novel that became the most excellent combat SF movie Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise as the cowardly protagonist Major William Cage and this week’s appetizer, Emily Blunt, as the heroine Sgt.

Brandi Brandt was named Playmate of the Month in October 1987 and went on to other modeling gigs and small parts in various movies, while being married to Motley Crue drummer Nikki Sixx, with […]

Rule 5 Sunday: No, Not That Asia

— compiled by Wombat-socho I readily admit that when it comes to actresses named Asia, my first thought is of the piano-playing MENSA member and former porn star Asia Carrera. That’s not the one we’re looking at; rather, actress and director Asia Argento wound up in the news this week when hostile reactions to her […]

Late Night With Rule Five Tuesday:
Rebel Girls

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another difficult weekend, but not without its compensations; it looks like I’ll be heading back to college in the new year, starting to finish my accounting degree at UNLV. Therefore, some Rebel Girls for your delectation before we get into the links. Insert the standard disclaimer here. Ninety Miles From Tyranny […]
