The Big White
Day: Sunday December 31 2006
Time: 11 a.m., 7:15 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.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation aka C.S.I.
Day: Sunday December 31 2006
Time: 4:00pm PST
Channel: SpikeTV
Times may vary, so CYLL.

Record number: 11392

Title: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation aka C.S.I.
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Stephanie Hazlett-Gregg, Shannon Hazlett

Description: Episode: "Grave Danger", Part 1 (5.24)

Two women are sitting back to back with wraparound tape gags.

Warning: This is an extremely grim scene, ending in a gun being pointed at the head of one of the victims and fired. The killing isn't shown, as the scene "artfully" segues into a ballistics test at the lab, IIRC, with the sound of the discharge serving as the bridge for the shift of setting.
