Blog Posts about Blue Velvet

It's not unusual for a Blu-ray to include footage left on the cutting room floor. But when it's arthouse auteur David Lynch we're talking about, well, everything is a little bit strange.

Long thought lost, the work print of Blue Velvet (1986) was recently unearthed in Seattle, bringing to light over 50 minutes of deleted scenes, (sk)incuding one Lynch says is one of his favorites. In the book Lynch on Lynch, he describes being shown a "party trick" by a stripper extra on set:

"They take these paper matches and split ‘em apart and then lick them and put them on their nipples, so the match-head is sitting right there and you really can’t see the little bit of cardboard. It’s sitting right there, very close. It may come out a quarter inch, but it burns for a while and then you put them out. It just burns long enough for the cut. And so it moved pretty nicely, you know."

"The flaming nipple scene" (above; you can see the stripper lighting her boobs on the right, as well as another topless extra on the left) has since become something of a Holy Grail for Lynch fans, and its skinclusion on the Blu-ray is a major find. The director told The Guardian UK he's pleased about the revival, saying: "It's like the song Amazing Grace. The footage was lost but now it's found."

See the deleted scene over at Slash Film, and check out more from Blue Velvet, including full nudity from star Isabella Rossellini, right here at MrSkin.com!

We've got the fluff dreams are made of nude on Blu-ray this week, like Angelina Jolie as a scorching Sapphic supermodel in the unrated version of Gia (1998), Isabella Rossellini fully nude in the kinky cult classic Blue Velvet (1986), and the undead, undressed working girls of Frankenhooker (1990). Plus, style reigns in the arty neo-noir One in the Gun (2010) and Catherine Breillat's equally atmospheric The Sleeping Beauty (2010), both nude on DVD.

The Change-Up (2011) is also new on DVD and Blu-ray, but proceed at your own risk: those funbags are CGI fakes.

Yesterday we heard that spicy chef Giada De Laurentiis was hooking up with singer John Mayer. Juicy Giada issued a statement saying that the rumor was completely untrue, but it still must have been too much to take for her grandfather, Dino De Laurentiis, who died yesterday at the age of 91.

The Italian-born De Laurentiis produced roughly 150 films during his astounding career; Fellini's La Strada, Dune, and Conan the Barbarian among them. But don't miss Mr. Skin's favorite Dino-produced skin classics.

Mandingo
Diddle your dingle to Mandingo (1975), the story of a cruel slave-master in the 1840s who trains his servants to be bare-knuckled boxers. Whether you prefer black mamas or white mamas, there's something here for everyone, from the creamy cocoa casabas of the stunning Brenda Sykes to the Oreo skinterracial sex scene starring milky Susan George.

Barbarella
Barbarella (1968) is Jane Fonda nude in zero gravity. That's really all you need to know.

Ragtime
An adaptation of the E.L. Doctorow novel, Ragtime (1981) gives us the delicious Elizabeth McGovern in her single greatest nude scene--and her first! One look at Liz with her boobs, pubes, and butt bare, and you'll think it's Shagtime!

Blue Velvet
Dino also lent his production skills to David Lynch's brooding 1986 cult hit Blue Velvet (1986). Ingrid Bergman's daughter-turned-model-turned-actress Isabella Rossellini bares all in the most skincredible perv-formance of her career. Maybe the fact that a fellow Italian was producing convinced her.

As De Laurentiis said of another of his famous productions, King Kong (1976): "When monkey die, everybody gonna cry." Today, everybody's crying over you, Dino.

Sasha Grey is one of the adult industry’s most recognizable starlets.

After spending time doing theater and experimental film, Sasha appeared in her first porno movie right after she turned 18, doing an anal orgy scene with none other but veteran Rocco Siffredi in John “Buttman” Stagliano’s Fashionistas Safado: The Challenge.

Since then, Sasha’s resume has expanded to include dozens of titles, including Squirt Gangbang 1 (2007), Swallow My Children (2007), Teenage Anal Princess 5 (2006), and Cum Fart Cocktails 5 (2006). This year she had a role in the big budget adult feature Pirates II alongside Teagan Presley and Jesse Jane.

The actress has also appeared on The Insider and The Tyra Banks Show and will star in the upcoming Steven Soderbergh film The Girlfriend Experience.

Sasha is also a professed fan of power electronics performer Prurient.

She recently answered some questions for Maximilian Mueller.

Read the interview after the cut.

The cult classics by madman filmmaker David Lynch routinely feature female nudity and kinky sexuality (to say the least), but he pushed even his own boundaries out further than ever with Mulholland Drive, which opened in theaters on this date in 2001.

Mulholland Drive is in keeping with Lynch’s naked body of naked work, which includes Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, and Lost Highway (and is bolstered by his hottie-packed TV series Twin Peaks), but this surrealistic saga of Naomi Watts as a reality-tripping Hollywood starlet on the rise also contains one of the most scorching lesbian scenes ever filmed.

At the two-hour, one-minute mark, blonde Namoi and raven-maned Laura Harring make wild girl-girl love on an incredibly lucky couch.

You will never be more grateful that ABC-TV passed on Mulholland Drive as a weekly series, which prompted Lynch to develop this lez-tastic big screen version.

Mulholland Drive will put and Eraserhead in your pants. Click the pic to see more naked Naomi Watts lesbian action.
