MAXIM - Judging by the memoirs of the actress, she was convinced to act without underwear by deception.

The scene during interrogation in the thriller "Basic Instinct", when Katherine Trammel, the heroine of Sharon Stone, demonstrates the absence of the presence of underwear on herself, firmly entered the top of the most indelible movie episodes from male memory. The actress has published a new book of memoirs - "The Beauty of Living Twice", where, in particular, she tells how it was filmed.

Vanity Fair published an excerpt from the book. Basic Instinct, Stone recalls, was her eighteenth film. By that time, she had been filming for a long time and tediously in all kinds of slag, and she was 32 years old - the age by which she is supposed to achieve something. So for Sharon, Verhoeven's thriller was the last chance to jump on the last train of a big movie.

It was not possible to get the script with good, as a result, the artist's manager got it dishonestly. Stone read it and decided: "She must be mine, this role!" To get screen tests, the manager called Verhoeven every day for 7-8 months. Only after 12 actresses, who were offered to play Catherine Tramell, refused, the audition took place.

For Stone, this role turned out to be the takeoff and the most difficult in her career: she had to bring out her dark side in full growth. "It was terrible. During filming, I walked three times in a dream, twice woke up fully dressed in a car in the garage. I had terrible nightmares, ”she recalls.


The very scene, about which the fuss, she saw after the shooting was finished. She was not invited to watch a tete-a-tete with the director, as one might expect, given the circumstances - agents and lawyers were packed into the hall, most of whom had nothing to do with the film.

“So I saw the filming of my intimate place long after I was told: 'We can't see anything, we just need you to take off your panties, because the white reflects the light, we know that you are wearing them.' writes in the book by Sharon Stone.

The actress approached director Paul Verhoeven and slapped him in the face. Then I called my lawyer Marty Singer. He assured that the film would not be allowed in this form and that he could obtain an injunction. Sharon had to make a decision.

“I knew what movie I was shooting. For heaven's sake, I fought for this role, and all this time only this director stood up for me. I needed to find a way to be objective. I thought, thought - and decided to allow this scene. Why? Because it was right for both the film and the character, and because, in the end, I did it, ”explains the actress.

MAXIM - You are given an ensemble of pot-bellied drops - tenors and other sopranos. And what to do with them is up to you, Paganini. Basque will soon be out of work.

Experimenters David Lee and the Google team have suddenly realized a very daring idea - to write music not using a drum machine and curves guitar simulators (they are all curves, believe me). They decided it was time to tackle the most painful - the throat. And they wrote a helluva lot of clever simulator of opera singing and a cappella. Moreover, in the form of a funny animated game, where you don't have to think about anything at all, but just move the cursor across the screen and enjoy.

It turned out to be a very, very addictive toy. Please note that in addition to a very easy tutorial, there is a "record" button and a library with examples. The examples are impressive - it turns out that you can really give birth to something complete.

What we recorded on the go in a minute already sounds better than any Russian New Year's "Ogonyok"!

You can have fun and at the same time contribute to science here at Blob Opera. Let's leave Baskov and Kirkorov out of work! Half the money.

Batman Begins


MAXIM - Only the one who does nothing is not mistaken. And as more and more comic-book films are made, mistakes are growing astronomically.

So, before you is an easy and unobtrusive catalog of the biggest mistakes made by screenwriters in the so-called expanded DC Universe, which started in theaters in 2013. In addition to the DC Expanded Universe, we also decided to include Nolan's trilogy about the Dark Knight and "Joker" by Todd Phillips - without them, the list felt a gaping void.

The films are listed in chronological order. It will help to refresh the historical and biographical lines of DC superheroes. Nice side effect of the article.


Batman Begins (launched on June, 2005)

Batman Begins


In the middle of the film, Bruce Wayne has an explanatory conversation with Rachel Dawes, explaining to her what the antidote is for. And leaves two ampoules of antidote on the table, one for Gordon, the other for mass-produced pharmacists. Then he puts her to sleep. Alfred Bruce is tasked with taking Rachel home and doesn't say a word about ampoules. However, upon waking up, Rachel sees the ampoules on her nightstand. Magic.

And the very idea of ​​poisoning the Gotham water pipeline, let's say, is not a fountain. Look. The monsters have poured hallucinogenic drugs into the water supply, which will be released and poison everyone after the water in the city boils. This should not happen immediately, but in a few weeks. However, it is worth considering: if you put a kettle or a saucepan with borsch to boil, these narcotic vapors will immediately fill the entire kitchen and apartment. Many citizens of Gotham had to inhale drugs and get to hospitals long before the appointed hour X. After that, the source of infection is calculated instantly. In fact, the whole plan rests on the idea that no one in Gotham will boil water for weeks.


"The Dark Knight" (launched on August, 2008)

The Dark Knight


A person with a face as damaged as Harvey Dent is unable to speak as before, as his facial muscles are clearly damaged.

Why is one officer left alone in a cell with the Joker when Batman and Gordon urgently need to leave? I would sit quietly outside, watch over the villain - and everything would end perfectly both for him and for the city.

The Joker rushes into Harvey Dent's reception to kill him. Wayne urgently hides Dent in the closet. After that, the Joker throws Rachel Dawes out the window and ... leaves. I didn't even search the building. Why did you come at all?

As part of an ingenious plan, Joker's men secretly loaded two passenger ships with 100 barrels of fuel with a demolition device. First, it is extremely difficult to imagine how such an operation can be performed secretly and unnoticed. Secondly, when sailing, at least one of the crew had to look into the engine room. Thirdly, 100 barrels is a massive cargo, the loading of which would immediately affect the landing of the ship.

At the end of The Dark Knight, Batman becomes a fierce enemy of the Gotham authorities and is forced into hiding. Accountant Coleman Reese knows who is encrypted under the Batman disguise and is trying to tell everyone about it. So why didn't the Gotham authorities arrest Bruce Wayne? Wayne is on the loose at the start of the next movie!

The main and unshakable rule of Batman is not to kill anyone. Come on! Look how recklessly he cuts in chase scenes: under the piles of metal there are certainly more than a dozen crushed, flattened corpses.


"The Dark Knight: The Rebirth of a Legend" (launched on July 26, 2012)

The Dark Knight Rises



Is it really true that financial transactions that were carried out on the exchange at the time of its public armed seizure, someone will later consider legal?

Batman in his aircraft "The Bat" takes the superbomb outside the city, and residents see how it explodes somewhere there. The explosion, which is visually observed, is bound to cause destruction to the city, and to the coastal zone - for sure. Moreover, the numbers indicated in the film do not agree well (the range of the bomb, the timer readings, the speed of the "Bat"), according to any estimates, the bomb should explode very close to the metropolis.

The whole story of the Gotham police being locked in the sewers is one big plot hole. Who guarded all the drains, manholes and other exits? How did Gordon let the police fall into such a stupid trap? Who courted the police so that they come out of captivity shaved? The more you review it, the more questions pop up.

Bruce Wayne is a world famous tycoon with a multibillion dollar fortune. Can he really walk around Florence without being recognized by anyone? What, people don't watch TV and the Internet at all?



"Man of Steel" (launched on June 20, 2013)

Man of Steel



This is the most popular question of truly existential importance that Superman's creators have ever asked. If Superman is invulnerable to any weapon and nothing can hurt him, how can he shave and cut his hair? Indeed, in the film, he appears now bearded, now clean-shaven.

Superman and his girlfriend Lois await General Zod's arrival in the desert. They hear the explosive sound of breaking the sound barrier, after which Superman says that this is a clear sign that Zod will appear now. All this, of course, is wonderful, only since something has overcome the sound barrier, then it would have flown to them even before they heard the sound. After all, it moves faster than sound.

When a temporary portal to the Phantom Zone is created, Lois falls out of the flying ship. For some reason, all objects are rapidly flying upward, they are sucked into the singularity. And only one Lois magically falls to the ground, down.



Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (launched on March 24, 2016)

Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice


An uncorrectable error typical of this entire MCU. Batman needs to save Martha, and literally every fraction of a second counts. And yet Bruce finds time somewhere to change from a superhero costume to a civilian one.

The African massacre was all blamed on Superman. Just because they saw him there. However, it is clearly visible that the victims were killed either by bullets or by a bomb. Superman certainly won't burden himself with such a poor arsenal. And this should be clear to everyone - from the CIA to Batman.

Lois Lane seems to have some sort of journalistic superpower. She instantly finds herself anywhere in the world where she needs to be present. Even in the middle of a Batman vs. Superman battle.


Suicide Squad (launched on August, 2016)

Suicide Squad


Top-secret documents stolen from the Iranian government are stitched as usual. In fact, the pages should be attached to the spine on the right, because they are in Farsi, where the reading order is reversed.

After the scene in the bar, Captain Boomerang leaves the cursed squad completely and irrevocably. In the next scene, when we see the squad together, he is again with everyone. Explanations? What are the explanations?

The helicopter flight crew are the only ones to fly in full protective gear. At the same time, it was from the crew that for some reason no one survived the crash. Moreover, if you look closely, you can clearly see that it was the compartment where the suicide squad was sitting, and not the helicopter's cabin, that took the main blow in the accident.

Amanda Waller's planning horizon is ludicrous. Hiring a group of regular flesh and blood scum and nits to fend off the meta-humans? Even a three-year-old child understands that this plan is doomed to failure. At the same time, theoretically, Amanda has at her disposal much more powerful resources than a handful of criminals.


Wonder Woman (launched June 1, 2017)

Wonder Woman


The Amazons are an elite force that exists to keep an eye on Ares and his deeds. At the same time, none of the Amazon warriors are aware that the largest war in history is taking place on Earth.

The language question destroys any logic of the film. Okay, we can accept the fabulous statement that the Amazons are able to speak almost any language with strangers: from the film, they are allegedly gifted with such knowledge. Then why can't Diana understand the meaning of the completely ordinary word "secretary"?

If the island was carefully closed from the outside world so that even Ares could not find it, why did the Germans and Captain Steve Trevor stumble upon it so easily, well, without straining at all?

In a London alleyway, instead of Steve and Wonder Woman, six attacking German secret agents are laid on the ground. They try to interrogate one, only he immediately swallows a pill with poison. How about interrogating the remaining five? No way! Our heroes just turn and walk away.


Justice League (started on November, 2017)

Justice League



The parademons in the film are not thought out at all. They easily pissed off the Batmobile and are almost omnipotent. Only for some reason they cannot storm a flimsy house in Russia for a long time.

Parademons smell fear and immediately attack the frightened target. For some reason, this ability manifests itself only when it is convenient for the scriptwriters. For example, they did not touch Flash, who was clearly shocked to see the parademons.

Wonder Woman is able to quietly and quite quickly move wherever she needs. Only in this film does she suddenly start using a car. Even in those situations when she clearly does not need a car and even interferes.

Where did the Atlanteans end up? By teaming up with the Amazons, they could give a sickly rebuff to the enemy, that's for sure! Only shortly after the start of the film everyone forgets about them.


Aquaman (launched on December, 2018)

Aquaman



Submarine propellers create a large stream of bubbles and vortices as they move. In our reality, submarines are designed in such a way that this would not happen, otherwise their movement will be too noisy and noticeable. And when Aquaman lifted the sunken submarine up, she was obliged to sink again immediately, because no one freed her from the ballast! In principle, absolutely everything connected with the submarine in this movie is one huge absurdity.

The measure is capable of controlling water. When she was attacked in Sicily with Aquaman, nothing prevented Mera from blowing up the mercenary suits from the inside, because there is also water!

To rescue, Mera creates a breathable air pocket. But she creates it directly under water, that is, there can be no air in it, only a vacuum.

Without explanation, the miracle remains when Aquaman and Mera, after fleeing, change into human clothes and, in an incomprehensible way, persuade them to deliver them by plane to the Sahara for free.

The Sahara Desert is at least two million years old. So it is strange to see the phrase about the time when the Sahara had not yet become a desert, in the description of a Roman statue.


Shazam (started on April, 2019)

Shazam



One of the deadly sins fights with Shazam, turning into smoke, in this form it passes through Shazam, then hardens to strike. An excellent method, I must say. Only the Sins never use it again, even when they are beaten by the Shazam family.

Escaping from the cave, Shazam grabs what he can, that is, only one of many children, and rushes forward at hyperspeed. When he stops, all the other children are also nearby.

Shazam uses super speed to rescue his sister from a fast-moving truck. In the mind, the impulse of a 100-kilogram man, who moves at an imperceptible speed for the eye, will cause much more damage to the girl's body than a multi-ton truck.



Joker (launched October, 2019)

Joker



In the scene where Arthur kills his mother, the electrocardiograph beeps as usual. Doctors know that a person dying from suffocation experiences a tachycardia attack. The device would show a dramatically increased surge in cardiac activity and thus attract nurses. It would be very difficult for Arthur to leave the premises unnoticed.

The most famous "Joker" plot hole was actively discussed in social networks and the media. The fact is that Arthur the clown suddenly climbs into the kitchen refrigerator and tightly closes the door behind him. Almost all refrigerators of this type cannot be opened from the inside. How Arthur got free is not explained. This paradox eventually gave rise to the version that the entire film after this moment is just a dream or Arthur's dying hallucination in the refrigerator.


"Birds of Prey: The Fantastic Story of Harley Quinn" (launched February, 2020)

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)


Birds of prey go about their business in Gotham with impunity and with noise, but this does not attract any attention of other influential characters of the metropolis. Where is that Batman when you need him? Even the commissioner James Gordon, devoted to the law, is huddled in a burrow and does not shine.

MAXIM - It would have been better if Chip and Dale were killed by the death of the brave from the clutches of Fat Cat, than to survive it!

Disney announced the restart of the Chip and Dale cartoon and even showed the first frame, only the spectators are unhappy. In social networks, they have already been called "mutants", "eerie freaks" and "cheap fake." And the indignation of the fans can be understood! The favorites of all children who grew up in the 90s are easy to understand!

In the new series, Chip and Dale do not know. They will lose their usual outfits: Chip - leather jacket and felt hat, like his favorite hero Indiana Jones. And from our friend Dale will only his red nose, goodbye, Hawaiian shirt! About Rocky, Gadget and Vzhike, too, it seems to have to forget.

As it was already explained in DisWorld, the new series will not be related to the popular in the 1990s cartoon “Chip and Dale rush to help”, but will be a continuation of the cartoon about two friends-chipmunks, which was released in 1943 True, in those years, the chipmunk friends were not the main characters, but appeared in episodes about Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.

Here's what the new Chip and Dale will look like!



It is known that in the new series will be released 39 seven-minute episodes, which will show on their own streaming Disney - service Disney +.



We kidnapped Igor Ryzhov’s fitness manager for the World Class Metropolis club to get all the secrets of the perfect bodies of Hollywood stars from him. Today you will learn how Jason Momoa can be so cool!

"Aquaman" is already on the screens, and we could not miss such an event! The film does not need advertising, as all fans of the DC universe have long been waiting for this premiere. And for those who are far from comics, just remind you that a movie was released, the main character of which is able to breathe underwater, control the mind of underwater inhabitants, has superhuman strength and can even see in the dark. The special effects in the film correspond to his talents, so the picture is rich, the plot is interesting, and the overall impression is bright and vigorous.


The main role in the film is played by actor Jason Momoa, known for his role as the famous Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones. Although on this series his filmography, as it turned out, does not end there. A healthy, bearded, perfectly composed Jason with a very memorable appearance has become not only a sex symbol for most girls, but also a good example for all guys who want to always look 100%. Since childhood, the actor has paid a lot of attention to appearance and figure. Like many others, Jason began working as a model, then began acting in episodes and, of course, was seen in the crowd.


As Aquaman, we have known him for a long time, since he has already appeared in this role in the “League of Justice”. Batman, Superman, Green Lantern ... it would seem that all superpowers have already been mastered, the techniques have been studied and the reader is surprised (since, after all, first of all, this is a comic book hero) it becomes increasingly difficult. At the beginning of his “career”, Aquaman was a sugary character — a blond prince from the underwater world who communicated with fish. Nobody took him seriously for a long time. And before his film adaptation, the character experienced a significant transformation in order to now appear on the screen in the form of Jason Momoa, in the film directed by James Wan, launch “Saw”, “Astral” and “Spell” in due time. A sort of brutality and testosterone mix, the male version of the story about the Little Mermaid.

As I have already said, it is impossible to find a photo or video of our main character not in super form. Always clearly traced press, volumetric muscles and perfect proportions with a growth of 193 cm - just a dream of any mesomorph and the eternal envy of others. There are legends, myths and even fairy tales about his training. According to one of them, preparing for the role of Aquaman, Jason trained according to the 7/7 technique, that is, 7 sets of 7 repetitions with a minute rest between sets. With a weight of 50-60 from a one-time maximum and no more than 3 exercises per workout.



You can endlessly argue about methods, and you can find a suitable one for yourself and stop arguing. Therefore, I propose to check this approach on myself - I will make only minor adjustments by adding a couple of functional exercises that I spied in the video from Jason's training sessions. Such trainings will be short enough for one muscle group, so you will have to do at least 5-6 times a week or several times a day. But Hollywood stars can afford it, and we are simple people. After work we would have time to run into the hall, while Moscow turns into red rings and lines on navigators. So we will divide everything into 5 workouts and save ourselves a weekend (thanks to the wives you can leave in the comments). So, on Monday - the legs, on Tuesday - the pectoral muscles, on Wednesday - the back, on Thursday - the shoulders, and on Friday - the arms.


Take the middle ground, that is, the environment, and write out back training in the style of Jason Momoa.
The elite closed sex club SNCTM

Maxim - Erotic theater, masquerade and intimate experiments: about a closed VIP club for the rich and famous filmed a documentary series

We tell where to look, and show a brief summary of the most heartfelt scenes.

The glory of the elite closed sex club SNCTM, based in Beverly Hills, that in California, runs ahead of him. This institution is extremely erotic sense positioning itself in narrow circles as a VIP class institution, which lets on the threshold of extremely rich and famous people.

Founded in 2013 under the name Sanctum, Damon Lauer swears that the coolest megastars such as actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her boyfriend, filmmaker Brad Falchuk, come to him to expand his horizons and enrich the inner world.

About secret parties, which they book, they say everything. The organizers themselves speak of them, just rolling their eyes from the senses - it's supposedly a completely dizzying mixture of burlesque, masquerade, erotic theater and the most daring sexual experiments!

According to The Sun, the annual membership fee is 750,000 pounds, applicants need to fill out a long and candid questionnaire. There is an elite - 12 members: 11 men and one woman, they give a "blood vow", and in return receive higher privileges - separate rooms, access to a cult silver necklace, advice from experts on sex and other special services.


Members can more easily count on discount tickets and other pleasant bonuses. Guests do not pay entrance fees for events, but they must submit the entry photo in full. Men who want to join the celebration of flesh and free-thinking, too, must send a couple of fresh photos to be evaluated for compliance with aesthetic standards.

The dress code of the club is strict: men should appear in tuxedos, ladies in evening dresses or sexy underwear. The club strictly observes confidentiality: maxi are mandatory for everyone (however, in the midst of action, those who are particularly interested can dump them), the phones at the entrance are withdrawn.

There is one more firm condition: everything that happens in the club, occurs solely with the consent of all parties involved. Personnel are strictly prohibited from participating in orgies, but it is rumored that Lowner himself likes to watch.

Until recently, the club enjoyed the reputation of an institution completely closed, but now the covers are dropped: about it, a documentary film was shot from eight series entitled "Naked SNCTM". The premiere took place in mid-August 2017, and now the show is shown without embarrassment by Showtime. (Maxim Russia)
Penelope Cruz 

At the time of filming, the actress was only 18 years old.

Text: Maxim Rafstein

Maxim - The famous actress, a woman of fiery beauty and just the pride of the Spanish nation, Penelope Cruz, described how the first erotic scene in her career was filmed. It was the scene in the movie "Ham, Ham," 1992.


"I did not wait for erotic scenes with impatience, that's for sure. But I still played in them, - the actress admitted in an interview with the British Esquire. "Everyone behaved respectfully, mindful of the fact that I'm eighteen."


Nevertheless, the actress was visibly nervous: "I remember, the last day of filming, I cried and repeated:" What if I will never again be filmed? "


We recommend you, by the way, to watch the whole film - it not only gave a powerful acceleration to Penelope's career, but also is good in itself. If your plan to watch movies is half a year ahead, then here is one of the erotic scenes from "Ham, Ham," with Penelope and her future husband, Javier Bardem.


Well, if you prefer photos to any video, welcome to the gallery with the 13 most sexy pictures of Penelope. (Maxim Russia)


MAXIM - The guy on the air demonstrated how you can cruelly take revenge on the one who threw your backpack in the women's toilet.

Rarely does anyone have a school that evokes pleasant memories. And even those who were subjected to bulling in school years, memories are completely bad. True, not all the victims of the bulling are ready to carry out their thirst for revenge in a year and sometime to really put it into practice. But one such rancorous character was found ...

A resident of Boston, named Ariel, called a live broadcast on the relationship. She said she spent the night with a young man named Rob. Since then, he disappeared from her life, but did not answer the calls. Although, according to Ariel, everything went fine, even though it is twice the age of Rob.

Radio hosts, not long thinking (very valuable quality for working on the air), dialed Rob's phone number. What followed, you can no doubt call the most dramatic call in the history of radio.

When Rob went to the phone, the hosts introduced themselves and asked him to explain his disappearance after the meeting with Ariel. At first, Rob did not believe that he was being telephoned from the radio, and only exclaimed: "I can not believe that this is really happening. It's hilarious! "

After finally verifying that this was not a rally and that the presenters really wanted him to give a reason, Rob replied: "Look, I, of course, will look like a complete goat, but it was revenge. I saw her on the Net, found out her name and realized that it was her son who, in my school years, dubbed me in school. So I decided that if I sleep with his mother, we'll be even. "

The reaction of the leaders - however, like Ariel, who was still on the line - was noisy. "So you're a friend of Sam?" - asked dumbfounded Ariel. "No, I'm not your damn son's friend," Rob answered. "He broke my life." Now I answered him the same. "

No sooner had the listeners recovered from Rob's statement, as he added: "I, by the way, made a couple of excellent photos. I will send them to your son. "

We do not even know what morality to take out of this story. Do not offend anyone while you are in school? Raising children so that they do not poison anyone and could stand up for themselves? One thing is for sure: listen to the radio more often. Sometimes there is something really shocking.

Sophie Turner

MAXIM - Do not underestimate the educational function of the series!

According to the statistics "Game of Thrones", the premiere of a new season of which we are waiting in the very near future, for 6 seasons it was demonstrated a record number of naked bodies compared to all the rest of the series that ever appeared on the screens. And these bodies were demonstrated for the most good purposes: not in scenes of torture, but in scenes of sex.

Sophie Turner, the actress who played the role of Sansa Stark, was 12 years old when she began to audition for a role in the series, and 15 - when she started acting. Now, by the way, she is 21. And as she herself told The Sunday Times, the series has become a school of life and a school of sex for her. At least about what oral sex is, Sophie learned, after reading the script of one of the series.

"I was 13 years old when I read the script of one of the rather frank scenes and thought something like:" Fu! Do people really do this? "- said the actress.

Given the features of the series, by the beginning of the seventh season, Sophie should already know a lot of interesting things about sex: threesomes, lesbian sex, incest ... By the way, if you consider yourself an expert in this matter, go through the test "Who of the heroes had sex on the series?"

Sophie also talked about her attitude to episodes of sexual abuse: her character Sansa was violated in season 5. "Filming in this scene did not hurt me in any way, I realized that this is just a job. Besides, I was practically dressed, "Sophie said. When this episode came out, the scene of violence caused a lot of discontent among the audience, but the actress believes that violence is a topic that should be talked about on screens, including in this way. "While we will make taboos from the subject of violence and be afraid to speak directly about it, how did the people with whom it happened get the courage to talk about it out loud?"
