Scarlett Kapella's Pervert Pie
Scarlett Kapella — a popular dancer at one of L.A.'s favorite strip bars, Jumbo's Clown Room — included this Key lime pie recipe in her new cookbook, 'Wine Me, Dine Me, 69 Me.' She describes it as 'an ode to devoted regulars, stripper enthusiasts and perverts alike.'
It's easy, bright, sweet-tart and creamy. The graham cracker crust is bolstered with chopped macadamia nuts, and the pie's topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream and fresh, juicy lime slices.

Indonesia Open For Co-pros, Box Office Booming; But Lack Of Screens Hampering Further Growth
Indonesian cinema is booming, with local films breaking admissions records last year and on course for even further growth in 2025, but the lack of screens in the country has created a distribution bottleneck, said speakers on a Cannes Marche panel. Linda Gozali, who heads the recently launched JAFF Market, and Angga Dwimas Sasongko, founder and CEO of Jakarta-based Visinema Group, outlined current trends in the Indonesian theatrical market, one of the few in the world that is currently growing. More from Deadline 'The Secret Agent' Director On Brazil's Cinema Boom & What Needs To Be Fixed: "We Have To Clean Up Our Act" Yôsuke Kubozuka To Star In 'Gomusin' From Average Plus: Film Is First Project From Former Fremantle Exec Nastasja Borgeot's New Indie Dakota Johnson Plans To Direct First Feature From Script By 'Cha Cha Real Smooth' Actress Vanessa Burghardt - Cannes In addition, Denis Vaslin, CEO of Rotterdam-based Volya Films, and Hubert Bals Fund head Tamara Tatishvili, talked about the potential for co-production with the fast-growing market. Gozali explained that Indonesia currently has 468 cinemas with 2,293 screens for a population of around 280 million. That works out to an audience of 117,750 people per screen, compared to around 15,000 people per screen in China and South Korea and 9,000 in the U.S, making Indonesia significantly under-screened. 'I think one advantage of the Indonesian market is that the price point of tickets (around $2.50) makes cinema one of the cheapest form of entertainment. So from an investment point of view, we can see there's a lot of room to grow,' said Angga, whose recent release, animated feature Jumbo, was released over the Eid holidays and is currently close to 10 million admissions. In comparison, Disney's Frozen 2 is the biggest foreign animation of all time released in Indonesia with 4.2 million admissions. 'Our GDP is still slightly below $5,000 and when we pass that we can expect buying power and ticket prices to increase, and gross box office will significantly grow,' Angga added. 'If Jumbo had the same number of admissions in North America, it would have grossed $200M. We're not there yet but we can see the potential for growth.' While the market has been flooded with horror, Angga explained how Visinema took a gamble on making Jumbo, a family film: 'I told cinemas that if they book Jumbo, families will come, because in recent years they didn't have a chance to come to the cinema. And we proved to be right because during the Eid holidays the market as a whole reached 14 million admissions.' However, the lack of screens is creating a bottleneck for both local and foreign movies. Indonesian producers usually deal directly with the country's three major exhibitors when releasing a movie, as the country does not have many independent distributors, but all three cinema chains also have their own distribution companies and slates of movies. Last year, the market had a backlog of hundreds of unreleased films. 'If you tie up with one Indonesia's major studios, you have a better chance of getting distribution, but bear in mind, that 300 to 400 other movies are also competing for screens,' said Gozali. Angga added: 'The problem is there's a big mismatch between the limited number of screens and growing numbers of productions. This year, local movies have a market share of 78%, so exhibitors automatically give more slots to the Indonesian films.' The panel also talked about the potential for co-production with Indonesia. While many arthouse and festival-friendly films have been set up as co-productions with Indonesia, Angga said there's also potential for collaboration on commercial movies, especially animation: 'We need international partners because firstly, making animation is not cheap, it's twice the budget of an action movie, so we need strategic partners to bring the IP overseas, and also get more insights into how to improve the quality of our product.' Vaslin talked about his experiences co-producing Indonesian filmmaker Mouly Surya's This City Is A Battlefield, a historical drama set during the Dutch colonial period, which was the closing film of this year's International Film Festival Rotterdam. The film, which pieced together its financing during the pandemic, also had co-producers from Singapore, Philippines, Norway and Cambodia. 'We asked them what do you need from us because you're already in a complex situation on many levels, but they needed three Dutch actors. We also did some VFX and raised the Hubert Bals funding,' Vaslin explained. Periscoop Film, founded by San Fu Maltha and Submarine, released the film in the Netherlands around the same time it was released in Indonesia. Vaslin joked that the Netherlands should be now colonized by Indonesia as the film took 126,000 admissions in its home market, compared to 10,000 admissions in the Netherlands, due to the vastly differing size of their respective populations. Since the film was made, Netherlands and Indonesia have signed an official co-production treaty, and a growing number of Dutch projects are planning to shoot in Indonesia. Tatishvili talked about how Hubert Bals Fund (HBF) has also supported other Indonesian productions, including Kamila Andini's upcoming Four Seasons In Java, but also suggested that Netherlands-Indonesia collaboration could go beyond the treaty and HBF to explore talent development and infrastructure. 'I'd be very interested to explore more of what's happening in Indonesia on a stakeholder level, and on a policy level, for supporting talent and creating new forms of financial support,' said Tatishvili. 'There's so much happening in Indonesia, I don't think just applying for funding is enough. We could look at launching joint programs to give Indonesia access to international producers and expertise.' JAFF Market, which hosted the panel, is holding a series of activities at Cannes. Reza Rahadian's project Pangku is screening in the 'HAF Goes to Cannes' program in the Marche. In addition, three Indonesian projects – Locust from indie publisher Kosmik, Bryan Valeza's Bandits Of Batavia and re:ON Comics' JITU (Joint Intelligence And Tactical Unit) – were featured in Spotlight Asia's IP Adaptation showcase. JAFF Market also held a series of networking events. The second edition of JAFF Market is taking place November 29 to December 1 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, alongside Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival (JAFF), which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

Ron Jeremy Sex Assaults Suit Settled By Rainbow Bar & Grill; Enfeebled Porn Actor Was Not A Defendant
UPDATE, 11:19 PM: Just days after celebrating its 53rd anniversary with a 1980s rock'n'roll party, the Rainbow Bar & Grill has settled a lawsuit over sexual assaults by now enfeebled porn star Ron Jeremy on its premises. 'Counsel indicates that a settlement has been reached,' an April 15 minute order from LA Superior Court Judge Mark H. Epstein's courtroom. News of the agreement with the multiple Jane Does alleging that Jeremy attacked them in bathrooms and backrooms of the Sunset Strip venue in 2016 was revealed during an early morning status conference on the nearly two-year-old case. More from Deadline Ron Jeremy Escapes Rape Trial Due To 'Incurable Neurocognitive Decline,' Judge Says; Ex-Porn Star Faced Over 300 Years Behind Bars If Found Guilty Ron Jeremy Indicted On 33 Sexual Assault Charges By Los Angeles DA & Grand Jury; Ex-Porn Star Pleads Not Guilty Again Indonesia's 'Jumbo' Becomes Southeast Asia's Top-Grossing Animation No specifics were given , but a 'substantial' amount was paid out to the plaintiffs, I'm told. A formal dismissal hearing is now set for July 2 in the Santa Monica Courthouse. Jeremy, who was not a defendant in this matter, was arrested in June 2020 and indicted a couple of years afo on 33 rape and sexual assault counts by the L.A. County D.A office, However, while looking at 300 years behind bars if found guilty, Jeremy's case never went to trial due to the acute case of dementia a.k.a. 'incurable neurocognitive decline.' he is afflicted with. The now 72-year-old actor was moved to a a state mental health facility in 2023 for what will likely be the rest of his life. PREVIOUSLY, AUG 28 2023: Two women are alleging that veteran porn actor Ron Jeremy sexually assaulted them at the Rainbow Bar & Grill and are suing the Sunset Strip landmark for 'negligence in maintaining a safe environment for their female patrons.' 'Defendant Rockin' Horse, Inc. and Does 1 through 100, inclusive, knowingly allowed a sexual predator into their bar time and time again and allowed him a dungeon, the employee's restroom, for committing heinous sexual acts against Defendant's female patrons,' the August 21 complaint filed on behalf of Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 2 in Los Angeles Superior Court against the owners of the Rainbow bluntly claims (read the lawsuit against the Rainbow Bar & Grill here). Referencing grand jury testimony that led to Jeremy's arrest on multiple rape charges in 2020, the recent filing by Los Angeles-based firm Panish Shea Boyle Ravipudi LLP and Encino-set Nabati Law PC seeks a variety of unspecified damages for their clients arising out of the alleged March 17, 2017, attacks in the back bathroom of the rock 'n' roll hangout. With prudent description, the complaint detailed what allegedly happened six years ago in the back of the Rainbow after Jeremy walked the duo past numerous staffers: Once the trio reached the bathroom, Ron Jeremy followed JANE DOE 1 and JANE DOE 2 into the bathroom. Ron Jeremy attempted to solicit pictures of them that appeared like they were giving Ron Jeremy a blowjob. JANE DOE 1 managed to escape, but JANE DOE 2 was not so lucky. Ron Jeremy continued to sexually assault JANE DOE 2 in the bathroom, putting his hands in JANE DOE 2's private areas, despite her pleas that he stop. At one point, after being in the bathroom for what felt like an eternity, and without any aid, JANE DOE 2 shouted at Ron Jeremy to stop, in hopes that Rainbow Bar staff would hear her cries. After both JANE DOE 1 and JANE DOE 2 escaped the restroom, Ron Jeremy still continued to target them while Plaintiffs attempted to leave Rainbow Bar. Further laying out their case against Jeremy, the plaintiffs' lawyers say, 'Rainbow Bar employees would facilitate Ron Jeremy drugging women's drinks. They note: 'One woman [referred to as Jane Doe 9 in the grand jury transcript] met Ron Jeremy at Rainbow Bar. Ron Jeremy then told the bartender to 'get her the Ron Jeremy special.'' With the heinous acts that the much-accused Jeremy is alleged to have committed in this case alone, you perhaps are wondering why the slovenly adult movie actor isn't named as a defendant in the matter along with the 1972-founded Rainbow. Well, facing over 300 years in prison if found guilty on 33 rape and sexual assault counts, 70-year-old Jeremy was deemed incompetent to stand trial earlier this year due to 'incurable neurocognitive decline.' Judge Ronald S. Harris pulled the plug on the case, and Jeremy then was moved from downtown LA's Twin Towers Correctional Facility into a state mental health facility. Unless his condition dramatically changes, Jeremy will remain in said facility for the rest of his days. Attempts to contact the Rainbow Bar & Grill about the suit were unsuccessful this morning. If and when we hear from the establishment, we will update this post. If the name of firm Panish Shea Boyle Ravipudi LLP seems familiar to some it is because they represented widower Matthew Hutchins in his wrongful death suit against Alec Baldwin and others for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico set of indie Western Rust on October 21, 2021. Altough Baldwin is facing a plethora of civil cases over the shooting and possible refiling of criminal charges, the Matthew Hutchins case never went to trial as the parties settled in October 2022. Among other aspects of that deal, the widower Hutchins was made an executive producer on the resurrected Rust, which finished production in Montana this spring, and is working on a documentary about his wife.

Indonesia's ‘Jumbo' Becomes Southeast Asia's Top-Grossing Animation
EXCLUSIVE: Indonesian animated feature Jumbo has become the highest-grossing Southeast Asian animation of all time. Produced by Visinema Studios, the film has earned over $8M at the Indonesian box office since its March 31 release, surpassing the record previously held by Malaysia's Mechamato Movie, which grossed approximately $7.68 million in 2022. More from Deadline Korean Sports Drama 'The Match' Starring Lee Byung-Hun & Yoo Ah-In Tops Korean Box Office South Korean Content Second Only To U.S. In Netflix's Global Viewership - Ampere Report 'Montages Of A Modern Motherhood' Director Talks Taboos, Challenging Parenting Perceptions & Hong Kong Film Funding Jumbo has racked up more than 3.2 million admissions since its release, with nearly 1 million admissions recorded across the April 12 to 13 weekend. This means that Jumbo has overtaken Hollywood title Moana 2 to become Indonesia's second-highest-grossing animated title at the box office (Frozen 2 still remains the all-time frontrunner). Moana 2 recorded a total of 3.1 million admissions following its November 2024 release. Jumbo has surpassed that milestone in two weeks. Jumbo follows Don, an orphan bullied as 'Jumbo' due to his large body. He has a storybook, inherited from his parents, which is full of drawings and magical stories. Don later encounters Meri, a fairy seeking his help to reunite her with her family. Jumbo is preparing for its global rollout, with distribution rights for several key territories, including Mainland China, North America, western Europe and Australia currently still available. The film is directed by Ryan Adriandhy, who wrote the screenplay with Widya Arifianti. Jumbo's voice cast includes Indonesian singer Ariel, as well as Prince Poetiray, Muhammad Adhiyat, Graciella Abigail, Yusuf Ozkan and Quinn Salman. Development for the film began in early 2020. 'Jumbo is my personal calling — a labor of love for my child, and for all Indonesian children who deserve to have their own choices at the cinema's ticket box,' said Angga Dwimas Sasongko, founder and group CEO of Visinema. 'They have the right to see their own stories on screen, told in their own language, and to feel proud of who they are, because they are the future of the cinema we all cherish. 'We always believed that stories rooted in local values could move people deeply, but to see more than three million people embrace this film as their own, so quickly and so wholeheartedly, is truly humbling. This is no longer just our film, it's a collective achievement. One that proves Southeast Asian animation has the power to grow, to travel, and to unite when given the space, the belief, and the love it deserves.' Visinema Studios also said in a statement: 'Crafted over the span of five years by a dedicated team of more than 420 Indonesian artists, animators, and storytellers, Jumbo is more than just a film, it represents a milestone for Indonesia's creative, film, and animation industries. From storyboarding to final frame, every aspect of the production reflects the rising confidence and capability of the local animation scene. 'Even more remarkable is the film's performance within Indonesia's competitive theatrical landscape, where horror titles dominate over half of annual releases. Jumbo offered something rare: a warm, heartfelt, multi-generational story, and audiences responded in full force,' added the studio.
