Jolene Blalock

I know many of us have fond memories of her. I haven't even heard her name in ages... anyway, I recently watched Shadow Puppets (2007), in which she played the main character, so I ended up google stalking her. Apparently she is married to Michael Rapino, CEO of Live Nation and possibly in some kind of very high-up position with Ticketmaster, if I have this right.

He has been in the news a bit lately, and probably will continue to be there, because of Ticketmaster's generally grotesque and obscene profiteering off making concerts almost totally inaccessible to all but the top... maybe the top 5% of the population.

If there is any upside to his behavior.... well, there isn't any upside. But with a little luck, maybe Joe Bob Briggs or somebody like him will take the opportunity given by Rapino being in the news to do some kind of retrospective of films in which Jolene Blalock is hot-looking. Shadow Puppets is worth viewing, in that way. (It is largely a rip-off of Cube, with some ideas stuck in there from Resident Evil, the 1986 The Fly, and a little supernatural stuff that felt like they might have borrowed from some creepypasta. But for seeing Jolene Blalock, it is a pretty good movie).
