BTW, just recently saw Emmanuelle Beart in “Strayed”, and then “Natalie”. (Both French erotic but not Xish films from the last four years.)

I realize this is massively off topic, but there’s no post I’ve scanned in the recent past for which it would be closer to on topic, so here goes. (If you ask me to knock this sort of thing off I will.)

My GOD what a hottie in oh such a French girl way. In both but esp Natalie, she oozes sexuality, yes because she's beautiful in her own rather unusual way, yes she has a delectable body, but the killer is her deep and seemingly bottomless abandoned sexuality, once a man has found how to unrap it. It's an ultimately submissive and even somewhat masochistic sexuality, but only after teasing and denial. When she’s not “on the meter” that is. Even a bit when she is. Ahhh, just KINDA exciting.

What’s more and truly astounding to me, in Natalie she plays a young sorta upscale prostitute 4 nights a week, and high end beauty salon licensed cosmetologist by day (it is not hard to believe that the French take those qualifications seriously). She’s hot beyond belief in her work place, an upscale but also a bit trashy "in call met to then go outcall greet" private club / bar. (Can someone please direct to an establishment with anything LIKE the feel of that place, in NYC. You know, to have in my black book in reserve? Last I checked (a while ago), there's nothing close in feel.) This young hottie, Beart, is in fact 40 at the time of filming. Looks somewhere between about 28 and 32 in the film. Zowieee!

It actually strikes me that Beart, who though I’d heard of I really hadn’t seen or seen much of before, has unusual but very beautiful looks that are quite a bit like Charlotte Rampling’s. Beart’s a bit more symmetrical and more beautiful I think, but they’re both a bit horse faced in a very good way. But the real bullet Beart has is her shouldering sexuality. Rampling in contrast comes across as an English ice queen, one you eagerly anticipate melting, and then who never does. At least not convincingly. Whereas Beart. Try convincing me she isn’t a hypersexual woman in real life. Try. Yeah she could be an impossible bitch, selfish, a diva, a depressive, other things (I see signs only of depressive). But she’s hypersexual for sure.

This is the most bizarre comment thread I've ever read.

Rachael Ray is responsible for the misspelling of the traditional name "Rachel" to such an extent that it will take centuries to correct the error.
