A Body to Die For
The owner of a new, hot fitness club in Cabot Cove has secrets that lead to murder.
Some of you may remember my posts from last year about Murder She Wrote. I found the show on one of my cable channels, and have been catching episodes now and then. The network is currently showing season seven, which means we just went through the period where Jessica, (Angela Lansbury) only made cameo's in a slew of episodes. I've been skipping those, Lansbury is the draw.
I recently watched, A Body To Die For, the sixth episode of the seventh season. The episode features hot gym owner Wayne Bennett, who charms and flirts his way through most of his horny older female clients. I recognized the actor who played Wayne, both his handsome face, and his body to die for.
I had to head to IMDB to confirm that Wayne was played by actor Jason Beghe who has been a fixture on television and in film since the mid-eighties. I first saw Jason, and his great physique, on VHS when I was a kid. I didn't really remember the plotline, but I do remember Jason on the floor exercising nude in 1988's Monkey Shines. Check out more of Jason, and his on-screen nudity on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
Barry Keoghan: Beforehand...
That being said, the scene was groundbreaking. Male nudity in main stream movies actually seems to have decreased over the last decade, so Barry's nude scenes were actually rather rare. Although there is still a fair amount of male nudity in independent films, the days of almost every movie actor having the prerequisite butt scene seems sadly to have passed.
Many still flash a little flesh on cable TV but it's seems more likely you're seeing a prosthetic, or computer generated male body part, than the actual body part of an actor himself. Barry let us know that in Saltburn, everything we were seeing was boldly Barry. Apparently, Barry even filled his naked dance 11 times to ensure it was right.
Tanner Travels: Capturing The Moment
Back in December, I profiled Skatercakes, (A Long Winter's Night) about his self portraits and his experiences with nude hiking. (freehiking) Although I used mostly images of Skatercakes, (Julian) inside, for the winter theme, I first discovered his work due to the many glorious shots of him hiking fully naked in the great outdoors. In that piece, Julian mentioned that although he often venture out to hike alone, he loves joining his fellow freehiker, Tanner Travels whenever the opportunity presents itself.
These are just a few of my favorite shots from Tanner's Instagram and Twitter pages, but if you visit and follow, you'll also be treated to many stunning videos. When I asked Tanner about the response to posting these images and videos on-line, the comments and compliments had a well shaped focus.
