Watching Con O'Neill's Filmography Day 8- The Last Seduction II (1999)
Warnings: Women in lingerie, on-screen clothed sex, drug use, phone sex, violence against a pregnant woman, voyeurism/public sex acts, gore, gun violence, murder, blood, stabbings, etc.
I did not bother to watch the first one, though I've only seen good things from people online. Again, it doesn't feel like I've missed anything by skipping to Con content.
As always, live reaction below the cut, review overall at the bottom.
Quick message before we start. We've all seen the gifs of what Con does here. He has a weird short 90s haircut and acts in what could be described as soft-core porn. We're both going to pretend we didn't see each other here, seeing this shit, right?
I didn't see you, you didn't see me.
Good. Now, let the show begin-
_________________________________________________________
Opening logo reminds me of my school mascot, not a good start.
Joan Severance, you deserve better. I don't know who you are, but please get another agent.
I actually love the opening font here for some weird reason. It's all swirled, and silly.
That attorney looks like Patrick Bateman from a distance, honestly, that would be great. This movie couldn't afford Christian Bale in the 90s.
I know the point of the movie is that she's hot. So I'm getting it out now. She's hot. The all-black style is a type of mine, and I'm not mad.
Smoking is bad for you. At least she's considerate, actually throwing out the cig...Nvm, she's an asshole. Not so hot anymore.
This takes place in Barcelona and our main cast will be Brits? Sounds about right.
Did she put on lingerie in the hotel, then take it off, and get dressed to go meet someone?
I hope Con got a good vacation out of this at the very least. If this was filmed in Barcelona. Which- (Editor Me can't find anything about this movie, I'm assuming just establishing shots?)
F.U.2 is a fun bar name. Real Izzy vibes
A GAY BARTENDER
AND CON
(my brother called his 90s shaved look 'adult Greg Hefley'-Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Honestly, I can't unsee it)
Is this his 3rd character that meets the protag at a bar (Scarborough Ahoy, maybe Dancing Thru the Dark if that wasn't a diner)? That's a pattern.
The hesitation over calling Con a gentlemen is funny
TROY FENTEN okay, that's a name. sure. let's just move past that.
'FAGS FROM A FAG'. Oh, this is going to be a movie. You know, most straight movies from this era didn't even have queer characters. But in Con's bad movies, they're added so Con can bully someone. The bad Con movies just make him a homophobe. I'm connecting these dots-
Again, the whole 'Have you been in love?' thing. Dancing, This, 3 steps to heaven. There's a pattern. In an interview for 'Telstar' Con said Joe Meek was obsessed with writing puppy love in all his songs, when this fucker can't escape 'longing' in his own career.
This looks like the start of a porno. (kinda?)
This is a weirdly subservient foreplay? The taking orders, voyeurisms, etc...Odd? Well, at least we know Troy is willing to go down on someone, which is something that will surely affect the plot.
Don't undo a condom wrapper with your teeth.
What is that position? She's braced up over the arms of a chair. Seated on the floor would be more comfortable. For both of them!
Who says 'frisky' in day-to-day life.
I WANT HIS WARDROBE(Editor Me, it's literally just a suit. I don't know, I'm easily impressed). The Gomez and Morticia look to their outfits is great.
How do you run a sex phone line surrounded by people in the same room. At least he employs everyone and anyone, icon.
Real 'ugly' people can tell when you're flirting with them to get shit. We're trained from middle school age for survival. Also, that travel agency guy is hiding a British accent poorly.
(This is the point where my brother (he's 18 don't worry, I have a brain) wanted to watch, so we restarted. He's seen Dancing, OFMD, Vengeance, and Telstar. He's a trooper and being their for my Con O'Neill phase. The bullying of Con commences.)
My favorite comment of his was "I hope this guy gets shanked in Barcelona" after his sexist line about women. Valid.
OH MY GOD. That computer design is awful, Graphic Design is my passion, indeed
Just tell her exactly how the business runs. That's a smart idea you won't regret later.
(About him being able to be on any call) That's a consent violation
"Dumb bitch." Okay! Ew
This seems like a shit place to work if he can just casually stand and watch over you perform like that
(about one of the phone people using company time to talk to her boyfriend) Could he have a system to block calls from people who don't pay or suspicious numbers? Why didn't he just do that?
HE JUST PUNCHES A PREGNANT WOMAN? (blood on her face, not on her fists) Okay? Like, why would anyone stay?
("naughty boy.")WHY IS SHE INTO THIS? Red Flags? NAHHHH
SHE JUST TRIED TO KICK I PIGEON! ("Pigeons may be flying rat's but you're the real skum of the city" - My Brother Everyone)
'This is the woman incels think exist'-Again, he's just rocking it tonight
Oh so 'he's falling in love' WHY? Why do you do these roles CON! So far she has let you fuck her, been kinda dodgy about anything with her past, and rude.
(Footjob scene)BUTTON UP THE BOTTOM OF THE JACKET AT LEAST.
Okay the older couple not yelling at them, but stealing a peak made me laugh.
IS THAT A CLOCKWORK ORANGE MANIQUINE IN THE BACKGROUND (yeah, he has mannequin wall art. No, it's never mentioned)
Good, he got blue balled, deserved for being a bastard.
Why is she doing all this? Just to get a sliver of the profits?
(While he's buying drugs from a seller, he gets in all close.) Con shouldn't be allowed to smile like that at men in sniffing distance while playing a homophobe.
It's a good thing he's high, and not clearly able to see how badly she's lying/bluffing. It's not even a convincing performance, like...why?
I don't like him saying good girl, not at all. Which is surprising for me. I'm proud of myself for not thinking Con acting like this is hot.
(She just kind of leans over, unzips his pants, leans in, and goes for it. Awkward pan up to his face) Was he commando? Was he already hard? So many questions.
(At a strip club) What's with that pole? Her hand goes around half of it! Thick as a telephone pole!
Why did she even come to this bar for info? OH, she's buying a gun.
This isn't hot, like, at all. It's just gross.
(bastard gets stabbed with the straw)GOOD FOR HER
She did just walk past people, covered in blood.
This false phone call thing is somehow isn't gay. Sad.
-Catching yall up, it's been 10 minutes and nothing fun has happened. She shows Troy the tape. He somehow doesn't hear that she entrapped a guy and got him in jail. They set up a trap for blondie who was threatening her life.
Troy saying sexist shit only to immediately get shut down is so funny.
the hitman from earlier isn't going to fight blondie cause he expects to fight a man, not a woman, right? Yep, called it.
Based body guard
I-what was that fight? Just a few punches then overkill?
(Body guard gets shot up)What did he do to deserve that man?
Can no one hear a gun going off?
What do you mean by 'that looks nasty'? She looks fine.
So Troy gets semi-framed? Like, he was a piece of shit, but still, that doesn't solve anything really. The business might stay afloat but since none of the people know how the computers work, or can reroute funds to their pockets, what's the point? They just lost their jobs! Same with the bar.
The two leads smugly flirting and smoking it's not gay at all actually, they're enemies! (banging my head into a wall) WHEN WILL IT BE MY TURN
Why does this Troy get called a 'naughty boy' so often in this movie. We should bring this energy to all his roles...especially Izzy-
So she just gets away with it? That's a shitty ending, I didn't even like her in this movie. I barely tolerated Troy, but I wanted her to get caught.
The movie just...ends.
________________________________________________________
Writing: 3/10 Sloppy, I couldn't follow why our characters were doing what they were doing half the time. Also, there were points where the writers realized we might be starting to like Tony, so they just made him do/say something shitty. Like a marvel movie making a villain have a good point, then making them kill a bus full of children. Just so we know who to root for. Who was our protagonist? I will remember this movie for the (somehow stylish look at the time) 90s Con, and the weird sex scenes. Again, I love a strong female lead but she just didn't do anything fun.
Cinematography/Editing 5/10: Nothing memorable, nothing subtractive. Meh. It was, in fact, a movie.
All actors besides Con: 4/10: Forgetable or just bad. Again, it's not their fault, it's the writing. I didn't know who the story wanted us to root for. So I'd start to like a character just for them to do something confusing or shitty. Again, it's obvious they were trying. I hope these people got to work on something better.
Con: 6/10 He can't save a movie. He is having the most fun here, which isn't saying a lot. Troy is Con's most homophobic character in his filmography to date. Con plays him all bark with no bite. It's fun to see him play a totally irredeemable jackass. Again, the whole 'falling in love' plot was introduced and kind of dropped, but I'm glad they didn't really commit to it? Troy is way worse than Angel (from 3 Steps To Heaven), Angel was fun in his shitty behavior and stayed consistent in the story. Here Troy's an abusive dick. I was having fun until he punched a pregnant lady for shock value, then it was hot/cold the whole film. Good performance, shit script.
Overall 5-6/10 Not a strong recommendation, his worst film by miles. If you go in knowing it's shit, however, you can have a great time! I did! My brother and I got to watch a shitty movie and just take it for what it was! If I was watching this alone it would be a 4/10. It's no 'The Room', thank god, but it's nothing groundbreaking.
There are two POV characters and the story couldn't make me care about either of them. The setting felt like it could have taken place in London, Seattle, or Amsterdam. Con was fun, but this movie is really only worth it if you want to see Con play a homophobic weasel of a man.
Only higher than the projects he was barely in. (Link should be updated for those who want to rerank anything, ill post it in the comments if needed)
Tumblr media
I hope everyone has an amazing holiday season. This time of year is shit, but you're already this far in!
@ivegotnonameidea Thank you so much for your recommendation and assistance!
I would love to hear everyone else's opinions on this shitty film!

Invisalign Scarborough
Not only is a beautiful smile a symbol of confidence, but it is also an essential aspect of overall oral health. Our appearance is improved by having straight teeth, which also help to align the bite properly and lower the risk of dental problems. Thanks to Wired Orthodontics cutting-edge Invisalign orthodontic procedure, having a picture-perfect smile is now simpler than ever for Scarborough residents.
What is Invisalign?
The latest orthodontic procedure, Invisalign Scarborough, has completely changed the way teeth are straightened. Invisalign Scarborough provides a discrete and relaxing alternative to traditional braces for the treatment of dental misalignments. A series of clear, custom aligners that are nearly invisible when worn are used during the procedure. These aligners have a smooth, BPA-free plastic construction that ensures a secure fit without irritating the cheeks or gums.
Digital imprints, X-rays, and pictures of the patient's teeth are obtained as part of a thorough examination that serves as the foundation for the Invisalign Scarborough. A customized treatment plan is made using cutting-edge 3D imaging technology, showing the teeth's gradual movement. This enables patients to picture their future smiles even before the procedure starts, fostering excitement and confidence. Invisalign Scarborough is leading the way in modern orthodontic treatments, providing patients with a comfortable and discreet option to achieve beautifully aligned smiles.
How does invisalign works?
Invisalign gently moves the teeth into the correct positions using a set of transparent, personalised aligners. An extensive consultation precedes treatment, during which the orthodontist makes a 3D model of the patient's teeth. Based on this concept, a customised treatment strategy is created to handle the particular dental problems. Wearing each set of aligners for about two weeks causes the teeth to shift slightly under light pressure. Their teeth gradually realign as they move through the series of aligners on the patient. Invisalign is a covert, cosy, and practical alternative to conventional braces that allows you to take out the aligners for meals and mouth hygiene. Visits to the orthodontist on a regular basis monitor development and guarantee the optimum outcomes.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisibility: Because Invisalign aligners are clear and nearly invisible, they are stylish and discrete.
Comfort: Since there are no wires or brackets to irritate the mouth, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces. They are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic.
Removable: Invisalign aligners can be quickly taken out to allow for better dental hygiene when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Results which are Predictable: Patients are given a clear idea of the outcome thanks to the personalised treatment plan that advanced 3D imaging technology offers.
Faster Treatment: Invisalign often delivers quicker results compared to traditional braces.
All Ages: Invisalign is a discrete teeth-straightening treatment that is appropriate for adults and teenagers.
Conclusion More than just an orthodontic procedure, Invisalign at Wired Orthodontics in Scarborough gives you the chance to get the smile of your dreams and can change your life. We are dedicated to providing the greatest orthodontic experience imaginable through our commitment to first-rate patient care, state-of-the-art technology, and individualized treatment plans.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll show you everything you need to know about maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile. From routine check-ups and cleanings to cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening and veneers, our expert dentists have got you covered. So sit back, relax, and get ready to smile bright with the help of the top dental professionals in Markham! Visit: https://www.regattadentalcentre.ca/ The Oral Health Crisis A recent report by the CDC shows that oral health is declining in America. Half of American adults don’t visit a dentist every year, and one-third of Americans don’t have regular dental cleanings. This has led to an oral health crisis. If you want to keep your teeth healthy, you need to see a dentist at least twice a year for cleanings and checkups. You also need to get regular dental fillings and extractions, if needed. If you have severe tooth decay or gum disease, you’ll need to see a dentist more often. Here are some of the best dentists in Markham: 1. Dentist on The Danforth – Dr. Manish Nagpal is a highly experienced dentist who offers comprehensive oral care services including regular cleanings, checkups, and fillings. His patients love his personalized approach and the quality of his workmanship. 2. Dental On Danforth – Drs Ravi Batra and Rahul Batra offer fantastic dental care services that include regular cleanings, checkups, fillings, extractions, and more at this top-rated clinic on The Danforth in Toronto. 3.

Here are the most common: Dental Implantology: This is the practice of installing dental implants into the jawbone. Implants provide a stable foundation for oral prostheses (fixable appliances such as dentures), which can be replaced over time as needed. Implants are especially beneficial for people who have lost teeth or who have had major dental surgery. Dentist-Assisted Implant Surgery: This is an increasingly common type of implant surgery in which a dentist performs the surgery while the patient is under local anesthesia. This allows for a more accurate placement of the implant and faster healing times. Orthodontics: Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with correcting crooked teeth and improving their alignment. There are four main types of orthodontics: fixed braces (adapters that attach to your teeth with springs); detachable braces (braces that you remove once they properly fit); clear braces (a plastic film that covers your teeth and reacts to daily wear to keep them straight); and invisalign (a type of removable brace that uses a sensor to measure your bite). Orthodontists also use other techniques, such as appliance therapy (which uses devices such as headbands, mouth guards, and chin straps to help correct tooth position) and skeletal correction (using metal plates, screws, or wires to

Podcasts, talk radio is so obnoxious.
84. barbie or polly pocket?
Barbie. The clothes are easier to take on and off. I used to accidentally rip polly pocket clothes all the time.
85. fairy tales or mythology?
Mythology. I like it because it explains things, it’s creation stories, its origins. Fairy tales are just fantasies or cautionary tales.
86. cookies or cupcakes?
Cookies.
87. your greatest fear?
Rejection, drowning, and clowns.
88. your greatest wish?
To be a semi-successful author and historian.

You’re having dental problems, but you’re not sure whether you should see a dentist or an orthodontist for treatment. Choosing an orthodontist vs a dentist can be confusing. After all, don’t both provide dental treatment? The short answer is yes. Both provide dental work. But seeing an orthodontist means you need special treatment that only an orthodontist has the training and the education to provide.
Dr Mark Nalbandian and the Wired Orthodontics team help you decide if an orthodontist or a dentist is right for you.
What Is a Dentist?
A dentist is a doctor who treats a wide variety of dental problems. Dentists handle overall dental care, including routine check-ups and dental procedures. Dental care includes checking the overall health of your teeth and mouth, filling cavities, placing dental crowns and veneers, and providing cleanings.
In addition, dentists provide preventative care and education to their patients to help them take better care of their teeth at home. Think of your dentist as the equivalent of a general physician.
What Is an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dentist with advanced, specialised training in treating, diagnosing, preventing and treating irregularities in the teeth and jaws. Notably, an orthodontist corrects misalignments that could require braces or another type of orthodontic treatment. Problems orthodontists treat include:
Overcrowding.
Crookedness.
Gaps between teeth.
Underbite.
Overbite.
Crossbite.
Treatments for these problems include:
Traditional braces.
Lingual braces.
Ceramic braces.
Self-ligating braces.
Removable precise aligner technology such as Invisalign.
If your problem affects your bite and smile, an orthodontist is who you want to treat you. Dentists are the general physicians of the dental profession, while orthodontists are the specialists.
Orthodontist vs Dentist: Education and Training
The main difference between an orthodontist and vs dentist is how much education and training each receives, even though some crossover of this training and education exists.
Dentists
Dentists earn a pre-dentistry or pre-medical degree at university, often in an area of study within the biological sciences. Then it is off to dental school, where they receive extensive training, including a residency before certification. Two years of this training takes place in classrooms and labs, followed by two years treating dental patients under the careful supervision of an already licensed dentist.
Orthodontists
Orthodontists also complete a university degree, attend dental school, then receive two to three years of additional training and education in a residency program to obtain specialty certification in orthodontics. This study makes them experts on teeth and jaws, focusing on misalignments. They also complete more certification tests.
An orthodontist spends 10 or more years training before practicing orthodontics on their own, making them highly qualified professionals.
Knowing this information alone should give patients an idea of who they should see depending on what kind of dental problem patients are experiencing.
Should I See an Orthodontist or a Dentist?
Again, the type of dental problem you are experiencing will determine which dental professional you should see. You should not see an orthodontist about a minor toothache or to get teeth cleaning. These issues are usually taken care of by a dentist, who is like a general practitioner with qualifications to treat dental problems.
An orthodontist is a specialist tasked with more complex misalignments in the teeth and jaws. They have a deeper understanding of the teeth and jaws and how to fix them. If you think you need braces, an orthodontist is who you need to see.
Can a Dentist Provide Orthodontic Treatment?
While dentists can legally perform some orthodontic work with additional training, they are not specialists like orthodontists. Your dentist may also be an orthodontist. In that case, they have the training necessary to treat your misalignment issues. If your dentist does not have certification in orthodontic treatment, opting for treatment from an orthodontist is the best course of action.
Orthodontists have the training and education necessary to truly understand the mechanics of the teeth and jaws on a higher level. If you need braces, you will want the skills and attention of an orthodontist.
Can an Orthodontist Provide General Dentistry?
Because orthodontists also attend and graduate from dental school, they can provide general dentistry if they choose to offer it. However, orthodontists usually leave general dentistry, such as fillings and teeth cleanings, to general dentists so they can focus on treating patients with teeth and jaw misalignments.
However, despite being a specialist, your orthodontist will work closely with your general dentist to make sure you get the best treatment possible.
Do I Need a Referral from a Dentist to See an Orthodontist?
In general, it might be best and is sometimes a requirement to get a referral to an orthodontist from your general dentist. Make an appointment with your dentist and ask if orthodontic treatment is right for you. You can request a referral. However, some orthodontists don’t require a referral, and you can schedule an appointment by calling or visiting their website.
If your dental insurance provider requires a referral from a general dentist, it would be in your best interest to seek a referral to make insurance claims easier. Most dental insurance plans will cover at least part of the cost of your orthodontic treatment.
What Is the Cost of an Orthodontist vs Dentist?
Orthodontists and dentists usually offer low monthly payment plans to help their patients afford care. Insurance coverage helps as well. But because orthodontists are specialists, their services typically come at a higher cost, especially if you need braces, Invisalign, or another orthodontic treatment. Dr. Nalbandian is a Diamond Plus Invisalign provider in the top 1 percent worldwide.

Even while placing crowns, the aesthetic approach will be prioritized.

Teeth Corrective Treatment for Adults and Children
Orthodontic treatment to get the smile you want is extremely helpful. The process of straightening a misaligned bite by using gentle, constant pressure to shift teeth over a period of months or years with the help of braces is effective for children as well as adults.

Children’s Braces Scarborough consists of such a professional team of doctors that specialize in treating children with braces and palate expander.

There are lingual braces as well to rid you of the metal-mouth look and secure the back of the teeth to produce ultimately the same effect. Ceramic braces have a subtler appearance as they are made of transparent ceramic and wires that can be used for less serious alignment issues.
