Eric the Fruit Bat said...The first link goes to Art of the Title where the opening sequence to Man Men is discussed by one of its creators. Among the items I found interesting is this:
MG: We had some great ones in there that we had to get rid of too, which was heartbreaking. We had a Sophia Loren image, where our guy was literally falling through her cleavage, and it was just brilliant. Sophia Loren’s agent said that there was “absolutely no way that we could have that in a TV title sequence.”Art of the Title, Mad Men (2007)
Like this? Because it sounds like a great idea and my heart breaks about dropping it too. And it's weird because after posing for all those photos of alluring steaming sexuality prominently featuring her breasts, Loren would later become demure about publicity surrounding her earlier norks. And Sophia, thank you, you're so fine you blow my mind, yo Rickie.

She is still alive. I unconsciously had her dead.
I was goggling a movie that featured some people dancing, but of course I couldn't remember it, that's why I was goggling it.
The title had the word Men in it.
So I goggled "movies with Men on the title"
I didn't realized it was a topic of "conversation"
An now it comes to me.
Simple Men.
Here is the dance sequence I was looking for.
The Proposal
Margaret and Andrew learning answers to questions a regular couple would have the answers to, to pass an immigration test.
Margaret: Here's a good one. Do I have any scars?
Andrew: I'm pretty sure that you have a tattoo.
Margaret: Oh, you're pretty sure?
Andrew: I'm pretty sure. Two years ago, your dermatologist called and asked about a Q-switched laser. I of course Googled a Q-switched laser and found that they in fact do remove tattoos. But you canceled your appointment. So what is it? Tribal ink? Japanese calligraphy? Barbed wire?
Margaret: You know, it's exciting for me to experience you like this.
One of the best moments in cleavage history was Sofia Loren's sideways glance at Jayne Mansfield.
h/t: Trooper York
The irony was Jayne was mostly push-up bra.
Sophie actually had sufficient equipment she needed no sartorial enhancement.
The irony was Jayne was mostly push-up bra.
I think we need Trooper York's hands-on experience to make that call.
I saw her once at a party at Marvin Davis' house. I would not have recognized her. I just don't know celebrities that well, but someone standing near me said, "Ooooooh, there's Sophia." I turned to see who was entering and I saw a smallish tanned to gold woman with perfect skin who appeared to glow. She really was a vision. I got it. Finally. I see what everyone else sees. Yes. Is that makeup or what? Is that her aura or what? The man she was was with is tall and thin, impeccably dressed, preternaturally well-mannered and ugly as a goddamn fish and I mean it. As if you cut the head off an ocean fish and stuck it on top of an Italian suit. He was immaculately polished so you completely forgot he is a fish.
Push up bras play a bigger role than you know.
great animation, Chip. lol!
A long time ago, someone told me that in The Exorcist, the director originally wanted Regan, in her pajamas, to come down from her bedroom to the cocktail party on all fours as if she were a spider.
Too much, too soon was the final call. No dice.
Sounded like a plausible story to me.
One time I was in a video rental store and there was one of those cardboard display things saying you could now rent The Exorcist. I said to the counter-guy, "I can't put it into words, but there was something unspeakable about that movie that scared the living crap out of me."
He was matter-of-fact. He said, "It's so scary because all that crap they told us when we were little kids turns out to be true."
Sounded plausible to me.
Eric, the hospital scene scared the crap out of me. They took the little girl to hospital, stuck a frighteningly large needle in her neck then stuck another needle inside the first one, blood jetted out, and I got up and walked out.
I'm such a puss.
*hangs head*
They were talking about the movie at work so I read the book in a few hours then saw the movie and it scared the living piss out of me. I DON'T like that stuff and all those guys were freaks for talking about it so much and recommending it.
But I was trying to fit in at the time, so there you have it. Sometimes fitting in just isn't worth it.
mmmm, young sofia loren cleavage. Wow.
