Isabella Rossellini in Green Porno Films
“Green Porno is a series of very short films conceived, written, co-directed by and featuring Isabella Rossellini. Inspired by the amazing and often bizarre sexual practices of insects and other creatures, these eight films are both comical and insightful studies of the curious ways a variety of earth’s tiny critters “make love”. Simple, playful and childlike by design, Green Porno provides a unique and provocative glimpse into an “underground” world of sexual encounters.” …
Or so the official Green Porno website, still under construction, promises. It’s difficult to imagine actress, model and film director Rossellini mounting a giant paper bug, but I’m on the site’s mailing list to get a heads up when it’s completed and the eight short films, designed for viewing on cell phones and small screen devises, are viewable.
So, why did I post about it today, you ask? Well, I thought it would be interesting to see how many people Googling “porno” would find their way to my site. Call it a silly experiment.

That is likely to get you some hits all right.
Isabella Rossellini is a beautiful actress. Why is she doing this?
Which one is Rossellini?
The one with six eyes.
I know her name, but what movies has she been in? I can't remember seeing her.
Sure you have. Italian hottie Rossellini is the love child of famous actress Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca) and director Roberto Rossellini. Used to be married to Martin Scorsese. For 14 years, until 1996, she was the face of Lancôme cosmetics. She's been in several movies (Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart etc.) and directed a few.
As to why she's doing this, it's probably because she can. And wants to. And at 56, she probably has more time on her hands.
I don't quite know what to think about this project - Maybe it's just fun for her - I'll have to wait to see the films. Meanwhile, I love saying her name. Go ahead, say it. Isn't that the coolest sounding name you've ever heard?

Oh, THAT Isabella Rossellini.
Ok..merely as a "social experiment" I googled "porno".
Of course, I've never done that before...but in the interests of science I felt an obligation to go outside my normal realm of cigar blogs. Well, I gotta tell ya mister, this porno stuff is pretty wild, boy! If we're not careful, there will be 10 or 20 people that will just sit there and look at this stuff all day!
Shocking, I say!
In the pursuit of research, I gave my credit card to one site that apparently allows me to talk to some of these porno stars on line somehow...I'll ask her some more questions and get back to you in a few hours. She says I'll be satisfied and happy with the ending....whatever that means.
This site gives a pretty thorough bio of Rossellini:

Yes, fun to say and sounds so romantic. Must be pronounced EES a bella for full effect.
Take your time, Michael. Try to get back to me on your "social experiment" sometime today...
Don't hurt yourself!

Damn, she is/was a hottie, all right! Love those Italian actresses! They all seem to have a certain "sexiness" about them. And that accent!! Makes me fall in love! With all of them!
Still looks pretty good for 56, but she needs to fire her hair stylist....that short chopped cut doesn't do her justice.
The bug thing? Getting her head eaten off while copulating with a praying mantis? I can't picture it but like you, I will wait to see the film. Maybe it will be sexy, who knows, but the mental picture is disturbing.
She still is a beautiful woman. She played her mother in a made for tv movie about Ingred Bergman's life and was wonderful.
I can't fugure why she is making this film series. It apparently was "popular" at Sundance, but I will have to see it to understand what they saw in it. It seems like a goofy idea to me.
I don't get it. I at first thought it might be a children's movie, but the copulation angle escapes me. Maybe she is just bored and has money to burn? Or maybe the thing will work. I will have to see it.
