It’s Raining Men
We often feature hot babes — whether movie stars or burlesque queens — in steamy dances. It’s about time we offered something for the ladies. Turnabout is fair play. H/T Blazing Cat Fur

Babes of Burlesque: 11
CHERRY TYPHOON
An explosive dynamo, Cherry Typhoon brings an original, high-energy presence to the stage. She grew up in Tokyo, studying traditional Japanese dance forms, but her career really detonated after she embraced burlesque. Tassel twirling up a storm, whether she’s wearing a G-string or a kimono, she has toured widely across Europe and North American, and currently is based out of Montreal, Canada. Here she is at the 2012 Tease-O-Rama in San Francisco.

2nd American Revolution
Vice surveys the conservative resistance movement — from Tea Parties in Texas, to Oathkeeper rallies in Massachusetts, to the followers of faux-libertarian Alex Jones, with his dire, conspiratorial warnings of a pending New World Order. How dangerous is the threat of a totalitarian government, and can the public mobilize to safeguard our freedoms? Are we on the brink of a 2nd American Revolutionary War?

The Kraken — Released
Filmmakers have released moving footage of a giant squid in its natural, deep-sea habitat, something that has never been done before. Here’s a sneak peek at the underwater shots of the giant squid, the animal that inspired the myth of the Kraken. The Discovery Channel will air more of this documentary footage later this month.

What a Feminist Looks Like
Hollywood harpies Ashley Judd and Lena Dunham would have you believe that all women are victims battered and exploited by a crushing macho society. Chicks on the Right believes feminism needs a makeover. True courage is epitomized by Malala Yousafzai, not whiners like Sandra Fluke who want someone else paying for their birth control.

Wolfpacks Threaten Yakutia
Authorities in Yakutia have declared a state of emergency, citing growing dangers to the public and to livestock due to roving packs of wolves. The Soviet republic plans to cull the size of the wolf population and has issued orders to hunt down 3,000 of them over the next three months. Nearly the size of India, Yakutia is a sparsely populated republic that serves as a primary anchor of Siberia. Fewer than one million Yakuts and Russians live in an area totaling close to 1.2 million square miles. More from RT America.

Vermilion Pleasure Night
Today’s Trillion Dollar Movie isn’t a movie per se, but a full one hour’s worth of highlights from the truly eccentric and original Japanese comedy and variety show called Vermilion Pleasure Night. We present this collection — in its entirety, with English subtitles — because so many of you seemed to enjoy the surreal VPN skit “Cathy’s House” that we featured a few months ago. In fact, our “Cathy’s House” post still is attracting new readers, and ranks among the most-viewed Call Me Stormy posts of recent months — although nothing can outpace the popularity of the all-nude Femen activists staging an anti-Sharia protest 
outside the Egyptian embassy in Sweden. Go figure!
Getting back to Vermilion Pleasure Night, the late-night show is akin to SCTV, with all of the skits either taking shape as parodies of existing TV programs or conjuring up bizarre, hypothetical programs that might air in some alternative universe or at some point in the distant future. VPN does differ from SCTV, though, in some key respects. It has the kind of visual quirkiness you often see in Asian movies or TV shows, but not so much in North America. Also, nearly all of the cast members are women, and gorgeous ones at that.
Besides “Cathy’s House,” recurring skits that have proven VPN staples include “Midnight Cooking,” a “torturous” cooking show, “The Fuccoon Family,” revolving around the adventures of a family of mannequins, and “One Point English Lesson,” full of risque jokes about pickup lines. Twenty-five episodes of Vermilion Pleasure Night got produced, each 25 minutes long. This compilation, thus, is roughly equivalent to two back-to-back episodes. Enjoy, and do return again next Friday for another Trillion $ Movie.
