Record number: 12496 Title: Imagining Argentina (2003) Medium: Movie Actress: Emma Thompson, Sara Fernandez, Leticia Dolera Description: Grim surrealistic tale, set in Argentina during the 1976-83 military dictatorship, of a children's theater director (Antonio Banderas) whose journalist wife (Thompson) runs afoul of the regime when she reports on two disappearances that may be linked to it-and as a result, becomes one of "the disappeared" herself. Her husband then develops a strange clairvoyance that allows him to see what has happened to the growing number of missing, which gains him something of a cult following among their loved ones. His vision of his wife's fate, however, is not as clear, which leads him on a rather disjointed quest to find her. About 35 minutes in he makes his way to an abandoned warehouse where from a catwalk above he views a metal table, upon which his nude wife (either Thompson or a body double) appears lying on her back while being beaten in a flashback shot of about a second. Her captors hide her midsection and the shot is so brief it is difficult to see if she is bound. Then, at about an hour, a fully clothed Thompson is shown bent face-down over the end of a metal bedframe, secured to it by chains attached to leather straps around her wrists, while she is being sodomized by a jailer, who also has all his clothes on (he is shown zipping up his pants after he finishes). Despite the assault being only implied, the scene is still rather difficult to watch. Several minutes later, a young man comes to see the director, telling him his sister is among the disappeared. The director envisions a young woman (Fernandez) shown from behind in a couple of brief shots sitting seminude in a chair with a black hood over her head and her hands being tied behind her. The bonds are clearer in the second shot after the tying is finished. The director, however, isn't fooled; when the hood is pulled off, he declares that the man has no sister and is a spy sent by the government-which he is. Bad move. After he further taunts the junta by putting on a play critical of the government its agents pay him a visit, and his daughter (Dolera) joins her mother in captivity. At roughly an hour and ten minutes she's shown on the same bedframe on which her mother was assaulted, lying on her back in a narrow spreadeagle with similar bonds. She's barefoot and clad in a short green dress. The spy her father exposed then stands over her menacingly with an electric probe that he will use to torture her, but he is not shown using it. A brief head-and-shoulders closeup of Dolera chained to the bed is shown again about twenty minutes later. |

Record number: 6099 Title: Wolf Lake Medium: TV Series Actress: Mary Elizabeth Winstead Description: Episode: "Tastes Like Chicken" (1.4) Sophia Donner (Winstead) is kidnapped, thrown in a closet, bound hand and foot, and gagged with silver duct tape. She's wearing an off-the-shoulder minidress and (until her female captor removes them) glasses. Her hands are tied in front, and while they're linked to her ankles, it's clear that she could remove her gag without difficulty. Still, good sport that she is, she instead mmmphs helplessly as the villainess taunts her. There's a small hole in the gag, which allows her to drink water through a straw at one point. A bit later, we see her tied in the same position, having been moved to a bathtub which the villainess proceeds to fill with icewater. There's no longer a hole in the gag at this point, and her glasses are back on. She's eventually rescued by a guy. Fairly long scene, with good close-ups. |

| Spider-Man 2 (2004) |
| Day: Thursday October 18 2007 |
| Time: 7:00 PM EST |
| Channel: FX |
| Title: Spider-Man 2 (2004) aka Spiderman 2 aka The Amazing Spider-Man Medium: Movie Actress: Kirsten Dunst Description: At the climax of the movie Dr. Octopus has kidnapped Mary Jane (the lovely Kirsten Dunst). We see her tied up with rope, her arms stretched over head and wrapped by a heavy chain around her torso and her legs. When a magnetic field is created by Dr. Octopus' mad experiment she is pulled off the ground (because of the chains) and we see her being stretched horizontally (as if she were on a torture rack). Lots of screaming until Spiderman saves her from death. On Disc 2 of the two-DVD set, there is a fascinating segment titled "Enter the Web" which features the shooting of the climactic scenes shown from multiple angles. It's revealed that Durst was suspended both vertically and horizontally during the bondage sequence, and the filmmakers didn't resort to using a stunt double. |
