Did we mention that Kristin Scott Thomas gets freaky on camera? We meant to tell you.

KST (because we're into abbrevs today) is no stranger to on-screen nudity. Who can forget her impeccable bedside manner in "The English Patient"? We can't. And while "Partir" may not be as monumental as some of her other films ("Confessions of a Shopaholic" anyone?), it still reps that classic KST sensuality.

But that didn't stop the culture vultures at NY Mag from compiling a list of the top ten sex scenes in his movies. (Spoiler alert: The Orgasmatron didn't even make #1! Maybe he's sexier than we gave him credit for.) (nymag.com + youtube.com)

<![CDATA[Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival Goes To ... Madrid?]]> Heads up, international porn fans: the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival (FICEB) will be taking place this weekend—though for reasons that are unclear to us, it will be held in Madrid. (¡Que loco!) Alas, with gas prices and airline tickets and the US dollar being what they are, we're going to be missing out on the fun ... and from the list of porn celebrities in attendance (Sylvia Saint! Nacho Vidal!) it looks like there's going to be a lot of fun. Anyone want to be our unofficial correspondent? We'll even send you a Fleshbot paint-by-numbers press badge that may or may not get you anywhere! (ficeb.com)

<![CDATA[Amateur Porn @ HUMP-O-Ween 2008: Be Afraid]]> Those crazy porn-lovin' kids at Seattle's Stranger are at it again! No, it has nothing to do with their embarrassing get-off-my-leg-in-public habit (well, mostly): turns out they're having another amateur porn festival. Every year HUMP! has been a showcase of superlative indie porn that's shown only during the festival and destroyed afterward—prizes are awarded and everyone comes away with plenty of happy memories and wank material that lives on in their minds (and squishy bits) for years to come. This year they've moved the festivities to the end of October and are promising to scare the pants off all comers with HUMP-O-Ween. The deadline (heh) is October first and all details are on their website. We just hope that the clown porn thing isn't too much of a trend this year. Eek!

Granted, we don't usually watch these two lovelies while in a crowded theater surrounded by strangers—but after the first few minutes, we're pretty sure we'll adjust. (tribecafilmfestival.org)

<![CDATA[Her (Very) Sexy Art School Summer]]>
Do you find yourself sitting around wondering, "Man, why won't somebody make a full-length cartoon that's all about a young woman making art, exploring her sexuality, and banging a bunch of dudes?" Well be happy that someone finally did: "My Art School Summer" tells the story of Carol Jones, a young woman who spends a summer at art school finding herself (and more than a few orgasms). The plot-to-sex ratio is a little too high for us to actually consider this a straight-up porn flick—but whatever you want to call it, it's still a cute, funny cartoon with a lot of explicit animated sex. Watch the trailer and decide for yourself.

<![CDATA["Bat Pussy" Wants To Be Free]]> Given the fact that "Bat Pussy" has languished in almost criminal obscurity for the last several decades, you can excuse us for taking so long to discover it ourselves since our pal Susie Bright posted about it on her blog a few weeks ago. But now that we've seen this caped crusader thundering across the landscape on her giant inflatable ball thingie en route to offering sexual assistance to beleagured married couples everywhere (at least we think that's what the movie is about; it's sort of hard to tell), we're intrigued to see more. After all, if "Malabimba: The Malicious Whore" can see the light of day on DVD after all this time, doesn't this rattily caped crusader with the twitching twat deserve a little love too?

<![CDATA[Movie Sex Scenes, Take Two]]> Movie remakes are usually iffy propositions. If you're trying to update a beloved cinema classic, no matter how good the end result, it's going to be tough to top the fans' memories of the original. There's one area, however, where the remake almost always has a clear advantage and that's when it comes to re-imagining the onscreen boinking.

They may not make movies like they used to, but they can certainly get away with a lot more explicit action these days. For example, you (or more likely, your parents) may love to break out the hankies for 1955's "The End of the Affair," but the Hayes' Code-hampered Deborah Kerr and Van Johnson could never have matched the wall-crumbling fuck session that Julianne Moore and Ralph Fiennes engaged in the 1999 version. (Oh, wait those are falling German bombs.) Even porn movies get wilder with the passage of time (see "Devil in Miss Jones" or the 5,000 "Debbie Does Something" reiterations), but Nerve decided to look at the mainstream films that got a second life and compare how their bedroom antics changed. Of course, the newer versions don't always win for hotness, but there still must be one or two sexual situations in your own life where you wish you could have had a re-shoot. Or at least a stunt double?

<![CDATA["Passion And Power": Everything You've Always Wanted To Know About Vibrators, But Were Too Busy Getting Off To Ask]]> This past Saturday, in a great leap forward for womankind, the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center in New York played host to a movie about the history of vibrators. Based on "The Technology of Orgasm," a fantastic and obsessively footnoted book by accidental-vibrator-scholar Rachel Maines (she used to study nineteenth century needlepoint, and you know how one thing leads to another), the film gives celluloid life to a story that needed to be told.

In an attempt to make plain old talking head interviews seem hip and cool, the film's editors seem to have gotten a little overenthused about all the cool things you can do with iMovie. This means that the shots often have weird borders and spin around on screen, making us wonder if we were tripping on a phthalate contact buzz or something. We might be nerds and all, but simply seeing women talk about vibrators on a big screen (even with their clothes on!) is still plenty fascinating without all those bells and whistles. Our advice to the editors for next time: tempting as though it might be, stay away from those drop-down menu items and let your subjects speak for themselves.

Other than the editing weirdness, the film is well worth seeing—if only because it's pretty cool to see respectable-looking, well-coiffed suburban ladies talk about how awesome orgasms are. Plus, the advertisements for vibrators in vintage Sears catalogs and the story of how the porn business eventually pushed vibrators out of the mainstream is illuminating.

We guess that's progress, even if it makes it seem a lot less dirty. (sexerati.com)

<![CDATA[Remembering Noel Graydon: "Liberty In Restraint"]]> Most of the time, discovering the work of a talented fetish photographer isn't the sort of thing that bums us out here at Fleshbot—in fact, it usually makes our blossoms tingle with all sorts of happy thoughts—but we couldn't help feeling sad while we were perusing the online portfolio of Sydney photographer and BDSM master Noel Graydon, who our friends at the Cinekink erotic film festival inform us died last week at the age of 36. Graydon, who was the subject of the award-winning documentary "Liberty In Restraint" a few years ago, leaves behind a body of work that's as notable for its artistic polish as well as for his use of a wide range of models and a sensitive (and very sexy) approach to his subject matter; no matter how outlandish all those ropes and chains and full body latex bondage outfits may appear to the casual observer, you never forget that the folks wearing them are real people. As far as legacies go, there are a lot worse things one can leave behind.

<![CDATA[Playtime With Honey And Bunny]]>

You know it's a slow porn news day when the sexiest thing to hit our inbox this morning is a pint-sized promotional clip for a luxury erotic goods retailer: Meet Honey and Bunny, a couple of fun-loving gals who prance and preen their way through a short film produced by UK-based erotic emporium Coco De Mer. The action might be 90% silly but good-humoured tease, and there are times when their escapades come dangerously close to looking like a glossier (and naughtier) version of all those teenage girls on YouTube who pick up a hairbrush and lip-sync to the latest Ashley Simpson single while mugging for the camera. But that tantalizing glimpse of kissable beauty mark on Honey's right breast and Bunny's incredible plum-tossing technique (or maybe vice-versa; we're still a little confused over who's who) are still just about the hottest thing we've seen all day. At least until someone sends us something we can actually jerk off to.
