D.E.B.S.



I'll admit it, I had fun watching D.E.B.S. because of my affinity for pretty young things in short skirts, with high powered guns, using funny gadgets to detect and locate, after arch criminals. The movie almost has no ugly person in it's cast.

Sara Foster, who I know from the Owen Wilson comedy caper THE BIG BOUNCE, is a celebrated agent in the DEBS spy school because she scored high on her SIA test, a perfect score at that. DEBS are after a serial bank robber known as Lucy Diamond(the gorgeous Jordana Brewster)and Foster encounters the criminal mastermind in the act of running away as the agents pursue her.



What happens next is how D.E.B.S. kept my attention (besides the beautiful young actresses in the cast), Foster and Brewster fall for each other and their lesbian feelings cause the complications which separate an established leader from those she represents as she must somehow choose between her role as a crimefighter and the criminal she loves.

This has colorful visuals and a pace that zips along, but is ultimately a PG-13 lesbian comedy dealing with the complexities of love and how two must overcome the odds in order to develop the relationship both yearn for.



I love how Foster and Brewster purposely concoct a "kidnapping" scheme where a heroine is supposedly held captive by a diabolical master criminal, whose reputation has given Lucy Diamond a moniker of "dangerous killer". Diamond is so feared, kids sitting at a table in a club move quickly as to avoid certain death. If anything, Lucy Diamond is a superb thief who can evade even the most sophisticated security systems(a funny gag is how easily Diamond can penetrate the security set up for DEBS' headquarters).




I like how she's willing to return all she has stolen just in order to express her love for Foster. It's an adorable affair between the two, safe in it's depiction(the most we ever see is the two kissing each other, and rolling around on a bed)of such a lesbian relationship. Gosh, you couldn't have two more lovely girls in such a relationship as Foster and Brewster..I fawn and sigh as I see their eyes lock, lips meet. Megan Good is the DEBS agent who doesn't respond well when Foster is chosen over her as the new leader of their gang, dedicated to the agency and respects the entitlement of being a member.

Just a fun little idea. A few keepsakes of the past.

Red Shoe Diaries - Safe Sex

 A rainy night in NYC, Joan Severance,  a fashion designer, is offered a ride in a taxi cab by fellow occupant, Stephen Bauer, who flirts with her, even providing his coat to "keep her warm" since her dress was damp and the night cold. Eventually the cab stops at Bauer's apartment complex, and he convinces Severance to come up to his flat. Eventually Bauer is seducing Severance, unable to resist her innermost desires and ready to just take him up on Tuesday and Thursday hookups, agreeing to nothing serious.  But can these "meetups and fuck" with no relationship talks continue or will real feelings and want for something more develop? When Severance's brother dies and she happens to spend the night, Bauer reiterates his displeasure in breaking the arrangement set up by them both. Zalman King's Red Shoe Diaries was, to me, a rather corny exercise in why so serious? softer-than-softcore Showtime Channel "entertainment". Rarely was I ever actuall

Wrapping up the Syfy Twilight Zone Marathon for New Year's Day 2023

So I did watch "King Nine Will Not Return", "The Man in the Bottle", "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room" and "A Thing About Machines" during their live run Saturday, December 30, 2023. It was a rare deviation from watching the list of Syfy episodes as they were shown up until past Midnight after January 1st, 2024. I have fooled around with the idea of holding onto the Syfy episode list shown for the New Year's marathon and finishing it up this next weekend. It would be the first time I had recorded the entire Syfy episode marathon on the DVR (for YouTube TV) and watched a majority of it in order from start to finish if I decided to finish it this next weekend. I do admit that once the marathon is over it is like that excitement and nostalgic energy goes away. A little depression sets in actually. Since I was dealt with COVID during Christmas holidays, recovered and returned to myself, the Twilight Zone marathon was a big boost to my morale. S
