 Wait, can’t we just start with a verbal warning? 
Above is one of our random Japanese posters. This one is pretty easy to figure out. It says “woman” “and” “tongue,” so we’re thinking the title is Woman’s Tongue. From there it’s smooth sailing. Plugging that title into a search engine, we found a reference on a Japanese website telling us it was released in 1969 and starred Noriko Tatsumi. She doesn’t seem to star on the poster, unless our eyes are going, but we recognize her name at lower left, so we know the website we consulted is correct. Anyway, the poster rocks, so we thought we’d share.
 Torn between violence and silent expression. 
Poster for the pinku flick Shiroi chibusa no senritsu, aka Tremble of White Breast, circa 1970, with Noriko Tatsumi. During the late ’60s Tatsumi was known as the queen of Japanese sex movies. If you didn’t know that already, you’d have figured it out from the titles of her films, which include Taste of Women, Inflatable Doll of the Wastelands, Whore, Muddy Uniform, Packed Full with Women, and—our absolute favorite—Love’s Milky Drops. We haven’t seen any of these films, but we’re making it priority numero uno to track them down. Seriously—Love's Milky Drops? We aren't sure if we should be horny or thirsty, but either way that sounds like a must-see.

The headlines that mattered yesteryear.
1957—Arthur Miller Convicted of Contempt of Congress
Award-winning American playwright Arthur Miller, the husband of movie star Marilyn Monroe, is convicted of contempt of Congress when he refuses to reveal the names of political associates to the House Un-American Activities Committee. The conviction would later be overturned, but HUAC persecution against American citizens continues until the committee is finally dissolved in 1975. 1914—Aquitania Sets Sail
The Cunard liner RMS Aquitania, at 45,647 tons, sets sails on her maiden voyage from Liverpool, England to New York City. At the time she is the largest ocean liner on the seas. During a thirty-six year career the ship serves as both a passenger liner and military ship in both World Wars before being retired and scrapped in 1950.
1914—RMS Empress Sinks
Canadian Pacific Steamships' 570 foot ocean liner Empress of Ireland is struck amidships by a Norwegian coal freighter and sinks in the Gulf of St. Lawrence with the loss of 1,024 lives. Submerged in 130 feet of water, the ship is so easily accessible to treasure hunters who removed valuables and bodies from the wreck that the Canadian government finally passes a law in 1998 restricting access.
