More Toudou with Karen

I spent most of my online time today polishing and posting a few entries to this blog. While doing so I came across a hoard of new pictures of the always-welcome Karen Toudou from her QDN-08 DVD. A considerable percentage of my time online was spent capturing these. Above left you see just one of the many fine and upstanding images from this haul. And at right you can see one more offering from this evening's crop, in which she is relieving some of the strain from her over-stuffed kimono. It's back to Pink Film Archive work tomorrow-- I'll probably start by posting the findings from the past week.


Last night's delving into the realm of B-cinema brought up I Am a Criminal (1938), another in the long and prolific, but lackluster filmography of director William Nigh whose career I seem to be unintentionally following lately. This is actually an above-average effort from the director, for Monogram Pictures. It starts out looking like a typical crime film, as its title, reminiscent of I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932) led me to expect. But after an early, talky showdown between the new DA and the town's big racketeer, it took a left turn at Albah-koiky and turned into a warm-hearted little buddy-film between the racketeer and an orphan. The ending was actually rather touching. Seven stars out of Ten-- So far in our survey of Nigh's oeuvre, this is his career high-point.

Träume keine kleinen Träume

Went out most of the day with the family, enjoying Korean, Japanese & Chinese stuff... Finally started posting the Boobpedia articles to the Boin Box series DVD articles, got BOBB-054 - BOBB-078 The first DVD-- Boin "Yume Sazanami" Box-- stars the dreamy Yume Sazanami, who is built solidly enough to have starred in works by big-girl studio JAMS (see: Working Busty Girl! Bomber Boobs Spartan Nursery Nanny ;February 2010 and Big Ass Maze! Enormous Breast Carnivorous Empress; December 2010). She is seen in action at left in a DVD not yet started, Code name: ALB-063. Needless to say, Ms. Sazanami meets with my full-hearted approval. And the day's concluding Boobpedia work was - Boin "Momoko Saeki" Box 2, starring another fine lass, though one whose article has not yet been started.

The cinematic selection of the evening was Private Snuffy Smith (1942), originally titled Snuffy Smith, Yard Bird. An OK Poverty Row (Monogram Pictures again) comedy. Another film directed by Eddie Cline (See Peck's Bad Boy with the Circus from a few days ago.) Offensive Hillbilly stereotyping, I guess, but the dialect they spoke was so bizarre I couldn't recognize it as Hillbilly-ese... The Snuffy Smith comic was still popular when I was younger-- I don't know, is it still around?-- but I don't remember reading it much. A high point was good old Edgar Kennedy doing the gruff authoritarian role that he does so well. The star-- Bud Duncan was a "Little person" according to IMDb. He was funny enough, made a decent Snuffy. His wife looked very much as I remember her in the strip. Strange, but not necessarily very funny... Come to think of it, the strip wasn't very funny either... The son loved it though, and is all set for the sequel, Hillbilly Blitzkrieg (also 1942). Here, fix yerself a heapin' helpin' o' Snuffy fer free at the Internet Archive.

Bon Bon Cherry series set to start

Alright. I'm going to have to start posting these things every day, then go back and expanding, revising, and tweakling here and/or there, until I get bored with them. I've been working on them offline, but now I'm a week behind. I'll wind up never posting if I keep that up. The BP-related images will have to wait for the evening to be uploaded...

Anyway, I spent this morning finishing preparations for the BOMC (Bon Bon Cherry) series. I found screen shots for #1-15. It's hard picking out decent screenshots for the articles, since these videos appear not to be of the highest quality. Each shot shows either the actress' boobs, or her face, and when both are in the shot together, something screws things up-- a face-mask, a really ugly actor, something... It appears to be a "girl next door"- type of series-- the girl next door with enormous, floppy boobs, that is-- so the general plainness of most of the actresses is forgiveable. I'd flip any one of them in a nonce, with relish, of course.

In the afternoon I put together the data for updating the Boin Box series-- that will be a long haul, but a rewarding one as far as Boobpedia goes, since several fairly well-known, prolific actresses appear in it. In fact I think one or two of the DVDs have already been started by other editors during my absence from Boobpedia. These will be more glamorous model-type actresses than the ones I like best-- the chubby gals-- but they are no doubt more popular. I'm not aware of any chubby/BBW actresses who have appeared in that series, so I may put it off for a while... The reason I like JAMS & IZM is the gorgeous BBW actresses. The fact that it is the women who abuse and dominate the men makes it much less unpalatable than the other way around, which used to be the norm. The mysoginistic aspect of many of the best-known Pink and Roman Porno films of the '60s and '70s was never attractive to me in the least. I enjoy sex (cinematic and real) and violence (cinematic only, please) as much as, if not more than, the next guy, but not when the women are being abused. I tolerate it to see beautiful actresses like Naomi Tani (though I have to admit that woman does look stunning in ropes; see for yourself at right.) I contend she would be considered the Marilyn Monroe of Japan, if she hadn't worked in the not-quite-respectable genre of S&M soft-porn. The interesting work that the writers and directors sometimes bring to the Pink film genre is an added bonus. The Toei Pinky Violence-- with bad girls whipping the asses of men-- were more my style. Now show me Erika (seen at left in Ultra Bomber Boobs 152cm!) bouncing around on a 'Porno Pipsqueak' and I'm happy. Just have her on her own, parading around just being her gorgeous herself, and I've found bliss... Why not give her a plot to work with? Hunh? Hey Shintoho, Excess, OP! Where's the BBW Pink Films?! Enough with the skinny gals, throw us guys something we can sink our teeth into!

I watched another East Side Kids opus with the boy after the night's Boobpedia work-- Flying Wild. It is one of those 1941 films clearly anticipating the U.S. entry into the war, which must have seemed inevitable to everyone by then. (Can you imagine things similar to what was going on in the world in the '30s going on today, and the U.S. keeping its nose out of it?...) Spies are smuggling plans out of the country into Mexico... maybe the Kids anticipated war with Mexico? Or, I suppose, the enemy agents picked up the plans in Mexico then delivered them to England, or whomever it was predicted we'd fight. Not as enjoyable as the last night's Kids romp-- probably because Ernest "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison had a smaller role. Gorcey and Jordan were clearly the stars, but they weren't polished enough to carry the film. Don't believe me? Click here and watch it at the Internet Archive.

Seems to me-- I don't know, I'm not an expert on copyright law like those Wikipedians are-- that all the East Side Kid/Bowery Boys movies should be in public domain. After the very early films at Universal, didn't they work only at poverty row Monogram Pictures? Seems like a box-full of their million-and-a-half films would be a gold mine just waiting for Mill Creek to stake a claim. I'll make a deal with you, Mill Creek: You put out the East Side Kid & Bowery Boys films in one of your DVD box collections, and I'll buy one of them. Deal? OK! Hop to it!
