Does Glamour Magazine Know Steamy Sex Scenes?
Filed under: Fandom »
An interesting little list has popped up on Glamour Magazine's website -- the 16 "Sexiest Love Scenes of All Time." Sure, lists are subjective and sometimes you forget about a moment here or there that should be within the upper ranks. This is why I usually refrain from using words like "best" in my lists. However, even if some choices are off, a list of the "sexiest" films should just ooze sexuality and allure. Glamour claims that their list consists of the scenes that leave them hot and bothered, but let's see what you think.The list consists of: The Way We Were, The Blue Lagoon, An Officer and a Gentleman, Risky Business, Dirty Dancing, Say Anything..., Ghost, Love Jones, Titanic, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Shakespeare in Love, A Walk on the Moon, Cruel Intentions, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Departed. Sure, some of these are sexy and some are sweet, but I'm not so sure on the whole hot and bothered theme. There's no Two Moon Junction, Mulholland Drive, Basic Instinct, Wild Things, 9 1/2 Weeks... I could go on and on, and event list a bunch not so obvious for at least another 16, but I'll stop now for space.
I used to watch Dirty Dancing just to see the partial arse-shot of Patrick Swayze, but I wouldn't consider it one of the steamiest scenes. Nor would I consider Cruel Intentions, which is much steamier in conversation than it is in deed. So, is the magazine recognizing scenes that really should get more recognition for their sexiness, or are they working with a broken sexy gauge? Some are definitely the sweatiest, but I don't know about sexiest...

Glamour Gets into Production; Aniston Gets a Job
Filed under: Drama », Deals », Shorts », Newsstand »
The New York Times reported yesterday on a series of short films being produced by Glamour (gotta love that British spelling) magazine, based on "true stories" submitted by readers, "by and about women." Aw. The series -- financed entirely by Cartier, to the tune of about $2 million -- is called "Reel Moments" (Did I mention "aw"?), and will actually have a 10-city theatrical run starting in October, in addition to being available on the magazine's website.In an effort to increase the profile of the series, Glamour has signed some notable female names to direct, among them Jennifer Aniston and Bryce Dallas Howard; Robin Wright Penn and Jamie-Lynn Sigler will star in two of the films, and both will appear for free. Aniston in particular is excited about the opportunity, and the fact that so many women are involved. Though not "a bleeding-heart anything," she wants us all to know that she thinks more women should be directing. Because, she says, "I think I like women. I support women." Good to know, Jen. Thanks for sharing.
Profits from the films, such as they are, will be donated in part to FilmAid International, "a nonprofit group that introduces women in underdeveloped countries to film."
