I am the fly in the ointment. Accept the next dose of disease.
Okay, so we’re a little late to the Green Porno party. But what we lack in punctuality we more than make up for in enthusiasm for these warped short films.
Isabella “Put Your Disease in Me” Rossellini outdoes herself (and actually does herself) in this eight-part series about the sex lives of various insects, arachnids and molluscs. Produced by Sundance expressly for smaller digital screens (computers, cell phones, etc) the whole series is just dirty, filthy, good clean fun. Try to imagine a Children’s Television Workshop-produced interpretation of that transcendently horrible pterodactyl pr0n and you’ll be somewhere in the ballpark. But not really.
(Thanks, Gooby!)

Holy sh*t!
I am wondering what kind of pictures they have, with her doing something even worse with real insects, to make her participate in that…
It’s both hilarious and sad….

Oh my god the Pterodactyl porn. I have to show it to Paul! Of course he’ll be all like, “oh yeah… I saw that when I was 13.”
Who knew that snails were such BDSM fanatics?!

She was on a late night talk show maybe a week back, she’s a very interesting woman. They showed a clip with the praying mantis scene and it was hilarious. I’m definitely going to check out the whole film.

Her Blue Velvet co-star must be ruing his surname right about now.

She has secured a sparkle in my eye for all time with this, the end of “Bee” is brilliant, and I am sure to have my very own fly proboscis soon!

Holy. Shit.

While we’re on this topic, have you ever seen this portrait of Rossellini and David Lynch? One of my favorite photos by Helmut Newton… ever:

Mine, too.

Have you seen this ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs6zXf7qqJY ) interview with her? It’s hacked to bits, but the interviewer is so delightfully uncomfortable with the whole this, it’s quite amusing.

I’m utterly speechless and grinning like an idiot!

I knew I had good reason to lust after her (as the wicked sorceress in “Death Becomes Her”) when I was a kid.
Now, this only confirms just how awesome she is (all praise not taking yourself too seriously).
