The Big White
Day: Thursday December 28 2006
Time: 5:15 p.m. CST
Channel: Showtime
Full treatment for Holly Hunter
Record number: 11837

Title: The Big White (2005)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Holly Hunter

Description: I can't say when these scenes occur in the film or how widely they are spaced, since this summary is based on a compilation DVD, but this is an unexpectedly cool find. (And it may even be a good movie in its own right, based on the comparisons I'm seeing to "Fargo," which did indeed spring to mind when I first saw the clip.)

Wearing pajamas, Margaret (Hunter) gets captured at gunpoint, and is next seen tied to a chair with bungee cords and duct tape. Then, she's been gagged with duct tape, then cleave-gagged with a white cloth, then ungagged, then regagged (and handgagged) onscreen. Next, she's on a bed with her ankles and knees tied together with duct tape. Similarly for her elbows, wrists, and hands, which are all taped in front. She manages to grab a phone with her feet, work the gag off, and dial the phone with the aid of a digital thermometer which she holds in her mouth. Finally, she's reunited with her husband (Robin Williams), after a couple shots of her cleave-gagged again (though apparently unbound) in the back of a car. My edited clip is a solid two minutes long, which isn't bad.

Title: Excess Baggage (1997)

Description: Emily Hope (Silverstone) decides to fake her own kidnapping. The opening scene is in a parking garage, where she gags herself with a packing tape cleave-gag wound several times around her head. She tapes her ankles, and then handcuffs herself in from, before hiding in the trunk of her car.

Unfortunately for her, her car is stolen by an unsuspecting thief, who discovers her in the trunk. Not knowing what to do with her, he keeps her handcuffed (but not gagged) for a while.

Palmetto (1998)
Day: Thursday December 28 2006
Time: 8:00PM E.T.
Channel: WGN
Rarely aired on network TV.
Record number: 695

Title: Palmetto (1998)
Medium: Movie
Actress: Gina Gershon, Elizabeth Shue

Description: Woody Harrelson is the protagonist here as a small time hood/writer who has an ambiguous relationship with the local police. He has a long suffering girlfriend in Gina Gershon, a sculptor in metal, who seems willing to help out no matter how strange the situation. He gets mixed up in false kidnapping masterminded by Elizabeth Shue and a dirty cop. Of course the good stuff is in the last half hour of the movie, where Gershon is bound and gagged in chair with duct tape, listening while all the final exposition is spun out. Near the very end, Elizabeth Shue, wearing a short brunette wig, is handcuffed and put into the police cruiser.
