Trouble Maker

Well, well, well! Looks like I've managed to find ANOTHER footsie scene (possible or otherwise). Check it out!
Trouble Maker. (Paul Thomas)
On the other hand, the standard complaint about Blake is that there are no people in his movies, but Paul, on his better days, is really quite good at this, and seems to be getting better. In other words, I'll finish with an positive review (in response to Imperator's lukewarm comments). We don't have much plot here, but we do have something: Celeste has just been murdered (throat slit --- an event that we most definitely *don't* get to see) and the explaination is provided as flashbacks to Celeste as Shayne corrupting newly-weds Asia Carrera as Rita and Eric Price as George (they don't seem to need much corrupting, it must be said). The plot, underdeveloped though it is, is important, because by trying to create real people it makes the movie *sexy* (as opposed to *nasty*) in a way that, e.g., Stagliano or Collins couldn't manage, by attempting to give some idea of real people who lust after each other, and who give the impression that they enjoy a wider range of sensual pleasures (you know, weird, heavy shit like touching, kissing and necking) than John and Patrick are likely to choreograph. Not all the scenes work that way (or even any way), but enough of them do: e.g. the extended opening threesome (Celeste, Asia, Eric) is very nice, starting off with necking, before gradually developing into a proper sex scene (in fact two).
Or where Celeste and Asia seduce Tammi Ann's waitress; this is really, at least by porn movie standards, ambitiously (=sexily) done: We see Celeste talking with Asia over a coffee and flirting with her, then they neck and kiss a bit while Tammi, fascinated, watches them surreptitiously while clearing tables, just like you imagine a waitress might if she saw a couple of notably attractive girls affectionately but explicitly necking at a table. Before anything further develops though, the scene cuts to something entirely different, and it's only ten minutes or so later that we return, to have Celeste flirting with and, after inviting her to sit down, playing footsie with, Tammi. Asia looks mildly outraged at first, before amusedly going along. Then, of course they all pile into a pickup to go back to Celeste's place, but we've been given some genuinely believable, extended and very sexy flirtation first.
