Which reminds me of one of the funniest arguments I've ever seen online. It was about contemporary female pubic hair fashion, and the two most vociferous participants were this man whose samples seemed to come exclusively from porn (so biased towards exhibitionists who might have professional reasons for shaving it off), and my wife, a midwife-turned-obs-and-gynae ultrasonographer who even then had notched up over a decade's experience. In other words, her data set ran into the tens of thousands, comprising women of all ages and backgrounds, teens to geriatric, and you'd have thought that most people would accept this as pretty clinching. But no - the bloke was the kind of man who would never accept that a mere woman could possibly know more than him (even when she clearly did, and for absolutely obvious and unquestionably clinching reasons) and so he kept it going, digging his hole deeper and deeper with each successive post. I'd link to it, but sadly the forum that hosted it suffered a terminal crash a couple of years later and lost everything.

But it was Natalie Wood who rightfully earned the Academy Award nomination for, as much as anything, whining like a cat in heat and moaning in a steaming hot bathtub while her unbroken hymen vibrates like a tuning fork.

In the biography, "Natasha," the author recounts an incident that occurred at the time REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE was filmed. Natalie and some of the other actors including James Dean and Dennis Hopper decided it would be fun to take a bath in champagne. So they filled the tub and Natalie got in first, not realizing what the alcohol would do to her "nether region." She jumped out of the tub in short order screaming.

Thank goodness.
It's not real. Thank god ,no person should have that much power. Good movie.

Sparse book with little new revealed about Ford or his movies. Ford's film methods and his hard and cruel treatment of many actors (which is well-known) are covered. The book doesn't really let the reader know much about the man. It was interesting to find out Ford had a love affair with Katherine Hepburn. You have to wonder how many men she did sleep with to get parts in pictures?

Additionally, the release boasts a new cover by F. Ron Miller, providing contextual depth and historical insights that enrich appreciation of this neorealist classic.
