big surprise? turns out that hardly any of the students are virgins or restless .
now, lifetime has fictionalized the book in a tv movie — though the “ restless virgins ” title remains .
the book, a series of interviews with students, revealed a culture of sex and drugs among the rich kids .
most of this — sex video, school newspaper girl, and even emily and lucas — is fiction. but with a title like ”restless virgins, ” who cares ?
the jocks will ask one of the “elites” for sex in the locker room, film it with a hidden camera and give the dvd to the privileged juniors as their parting gift .
lifetime' s prep school sex movie stops short of wanton carnality in favor of mere teen romance .
the location is the brainchild of restless dance artistic director michelle ryan, who identified something missing in adelaide' s bars and restaurants .
there is a few extra' staff' and some inconspicuous' guests' positioned for the restless dance production intimate space .
created complete, equipped for sporadic multiplication and later for auto - fertilization, the restless sex, intensely bored by the process of procreation, presently invented an auxiliary and labeled him $. a fool proceeding, for the inherited mania for invention obsessed him and he began to invent gods. the only kind of gods that his imagination could conceive were various varieties of supermen, stronger, more cruel, craftier than he. and with these he continued to derive satisfaction by scaring himself. but the restless sex remained restless; the invention of the sign of mars ($), far from bringing content, merely increased the capacity of the sex for fidgeting. and its insatiate curiosity concerning its own handiwork increased. this handiwork, however, fulfilled rather casually the purpose of its inventor, and devoted the most of its time to the invention of gods, endowing the most powerful of them with all its own cowardice, vanity, intolerance and ferocity .
in the movie, they mostly seem happy to be rich, in prep school and free to have as much sex as they want .
there’s so much casual sex happening so rampantly that after the scandal breaks, the kids feel the adults are overreacting. “this sort of thing probably happens a lot more than is realized, ” one milton graduate says. the students seem to think, we’re having lots of sex but we’re almost adults, so we’re fine. but their whole sexual dance is as immature as they are. it almost always involves subservience from the girl and unequal activity, as if sex were something girls give and boys receive. “hooking up with guys was so rarely about her own pleasure, ” the authors write of one girl. “the acts were part of an implied social exchange: oral sex for social clout. ” each awkward hookup seems to pervert the students’ ideas about sex and relationships a little more, and after the scandal they continue hooking up as if nothing ever happened. i wonder if milton still offers the sex - ed class i took, in which a teacher led us through a sophisticated and sensitive discussion of sex and gender .
“having completed her work in the restless sex at international studio, 127th street and second avenue, new york, marion davies is preparing her next cosmopolitan productions’ starring picture, buried treasure. ” - “ buried treasure next marion davies story” the motion picture news, march 27, 1920
the restless dance company, which includes artists with and without disabilities, will take a very select audience from the foyer to the bowels of the hotel, in a show that challenges perceptions of disability and puts the local company on the mainstream arts map .
the incident, which became national news, also became the starting point of a book, “restless virgins, ” written by two alums who’d graduated several years earlier .
based on a 2007 book about milton academy in massachusetts, names and details have been changed, but the backbone remains. the movie opens with hints of a sex scandal being investigated by administrators, flashing back to tell a lurid tale that recalls such true stories as the spur posse’s “sex for points” scandal in the 1990s, as well as the hierarchical and tribunal aspects of “scent of a woman. ”
the title restless virgins is extremely misleading. first of all, it’s not a jonas brothers documentary, as i first suspected. second, it’s not about sexually inexperienced people with restless leg syndrome. but most importantly, as far as we as viewers can tell, there are only two virgins in this movie, emily and lucas, who develop a tender romance throughout the story that’s nice and all, but i thought this movie was about a sex tape scandal .
we finally get to the sex tape, which lucas almost makes it to the taping of, except his car conveniently breaks down before he can get there, saving him from transitioning completely to the douche side. the sex tape ends up being six of the lacrosse players and one girl, and they blur out their faces and pass it on to the juniors as a parting gift. so it’s creepier than it is something to be proud of .
meanwhile, the acting is quite good and the kids extremely beautiful, even though the real sex scandal story was very different. but it coulda and woulda been just like the movie if they had a video camera. and got outed by the angry - yet - courageous school newspaper editor .
there really aren' t any winners in restless virgins, nor are there ultimately many virgins. despite that, the movie never really
goes there ,
and i couldn' t help but recall the power of the complicated and in - depth portrayal of this kind of culture in the 1996 frontline documentary the lost children of rockdale county, which chronicled how a syphilis outbreak in a wealthy atlanta suburb began to unravel high schoolers' sex parties that were far more graphic than anything restless virgins shows us. the idea of this kind of behavior is nothing new, but restless virgins doesn' t add anything to the discussion, nor does it really make things titillating enough to spark one of its own. instead, it just cashes in on the keywords
prep school scandal
without doing much with it .
lucas is living the good life (we learn later that he is a virgin, but isn’t restless because he’s saving himself for someone special), and finds emily annoying .
so loosely inspired by actual events as to qualify for practical purposes as fiction, “restless virgins” is nevertheless an unexpectedly compelling look at the caste system, cruelty and casual sex at a privileged prep school. even a hollywood ending can’t entirely sour this well - made drama, featuring strong central performances by “switched at birth’s” vanessa marano and [ … ]
restless ones was finished in the fall with two mixing sessions at congleton’s elmwood recording in dallas. heartless bastards' next challenge is bringing the album’s studio - crafted songs to the stage. “it’ll be fun to chuck it all at the wall and let the collective experience of band / audience dictate the conversation of the music, ” ebaugh says. “that' s the mission ultimately: rock ‘n’ roll communion. ”
in 2005, a student sex scandal rocked new england’s 200 - year - old milton academy prep school. a 15 - year - old girl was caught with five varsity athletes in the boys’ locker room .
so loosely inspired by actual events as to qualify for practical purposes as fiction, “ restless virgins” is nevertheless an unexpectedly compelling look at the caste system, cruelty and casual sex at a privileged prep school. even a hollywood ending can’t entirely sour this well - made drama, featuring strong central performances by “ switched at birth ’s” vanessa marano and max lloyd - jones. lifetime has been laboring to get younger, which explains the salacious title and subject matter. still, examining teenagers who have essentially divorced sex from emotion should carry its own cautionary resonance among parents as well .
students tell jones and miley that they’re not surprised the girl did it. the reader is, though, because zoe hasn’t been mentioned before this episode. the authors say she’d been the subject of sex rumors all year, but we haven’t heard them. they casually mention that she’d done the same thing with three boys the night before and with three boys the night before that. but who is she ?
the show takes the audience to 11 different spots around the hotel including an intimate performance in a hotel bedroom to the commercial laundry .
restless virgins is lifetime' s latest original movie, based (very) loosely on the milton academy sex scandal of 2005, in which the boston area prep school was dragged into the limelight after it was discovered some of their students were involved in behavior that culminated in a sexual act involving an underage girl and older members of the school hockey team. several years later, a look at the incident was turned into a bestseller by milton graduates abigail jones and marissa miley, and it is their consideration of the events that andy cochran adapted for lifetime .
we' ve had to tweak a couple of things, but restless dance has been fantastic to work with and we' ve enjoyed the challenge of trying to work around them ,

restless ones was tracked in august 2014 during a 10 - day session at el paso’s renowned sonic ranch. located on 2, 300 acres of pecan orchards bordering the rio grande and mexico, the studio – the largest residential recording complex in the world – provided the perfect setting, miles away from all real world responsibilities and thus able to fully invest themselves in the act of creation .

ultimately, the movie turns on dylan’s decision to leave the school in a blaze of glory by filming a sex tape to leave to underclassmen, which of course will go public, raising questions about who will pay the price for this indiscretion — and whether those whose parents are among key donors will be held accountable .
milton academy is a two - century - old massachusetts prep school where, on a campus many colleges would envy, there are buildings covered with actual ivy. alums include buckminster fuller, gov. deval patrick of massachusetts and me. it’s not the sort of place where you’d expect to uncover lots of lurid sex. there certainly wasn’t much sex going on when i was there. tragically, i graduated a virgin. but apparently there was tons of sex at milton during the 2004 - 5 school year — at dances a popular boy could ask almost any girl he liked to step outside, and the girl would probably go with him and fellate him, with no thought of a relationship starting or even the favor being returned. quite often girls fooled around with two boys at once .

the flaw that keeps restless virgins in lifetime purgatory is that it promises gossip girl ian scheming and nonstop scandal, but then it’s an hour into the movie and you’re saying to yourself, “when is all this controversy going to start happening? ” the movie’s opening credits feature that classic lifetime phrase, “inspired by a true story. ” and from what i’ve read about the story that inspired it, the milton academy sex scandal of 2005, this movie is lifetime ’s titanic. meaning it’s about 75 percent fictional romance and 25 percent (that’s a stretch) true story. except nobody drowns and billy zane’s pout doesn’t make an appearance .
“restless virgins” is an account of that school year, as seen through the eyes of several students. the authors, abigail jones and marissa miley, both of whom graduated from milton in the late 90s, interviewed 28 students but few parents or teachers. because the book offers a student’s - eye view, it often reads like a compendium of the big gossip of the year. we hear it all — about the destructive relationship between an ice - skating brunette with blond extensions whom the authors call whitney and a pothead called nick; about the hockey god reed, who finds some lovin’ in the school chapel; and about another hockey god, brady, who gets worshiped by nikki while another boy watches, until her dad walks in on them. “group sex acts were just like showering together after practice, ” jones and miley write .
with expulsion looming, mega - douche dylan decides that poor nebraska boy lucas should take the fall and say he was there instead, and in turn dylan’s dad will pay for his college tuition. dylan ends up making a similar deal with emily, and the only virgins in the movie thus become not only restless but also ethicsless .
they soon come to their senses, however. lucas discovers a copy of the sex tape without the faces blurred when he angrily kicks his roommate’s roomba across the room…ba. unfortunately, when the school representative at the hearing goes to watch it “in private” (wink wink), it doesn’t show up. good thing emily recorded dylan’s confession and is now able to dramatically hold her phone in the air like she just don’t care, making for a very “oh, captain, my captain” moment if only the rest of the movie had been, you know, better .

“ restless virgins ” works, mostly, because of marano’s vulnerability — you genuinely feel her pain when she says, “why was nobody ever interested in me? ” — as well as lloyd - jones’ conflicted midwesterner and carver’s positively venal ringleader. it’s only too bad the movie can’t maintain the nerve of its opening acts in the last few reels .
we actually don’t get to the making of the sex tape until more than halfway through the film, after an hour of the following: emily crying in the bathroom because she wasn’t accepted to princeton; lucas getting a latin phrase tattooed on his thigh to match his teammates’ (you know they go to prep school because they pronounce the latin “v” correctly); emily declaring she wants to get drunk and then using the word “effing”; a swimming pool orgy that goes nowhere; awkward almost - sex between emily and her college date in the back of his van; a roomba; a bong shaped like a head; a 90 - year - old etching of lucas’ name in his desk; the punchline of a joke about emily’s mom’s boob job, the beginning of which we never get to hear; and emily and lucas feeling overly depressed about a man working in a dunk tank at a carnival .
if listening to teenagers you don’t know discuss the minutiae of high school life — the hookups, the weight obsession, the spoils of popularity, the despair of lacking it — if that’s your thing, then this is the book for you. if it came with a companion cd, you’d be listening to the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard. we are told, in detail, about instant - message flirtations between boys and girls; hockey games won and lost; and group sex acts called ski - poling and the eiffel tower, which can’t be described in these pages .

the remainder of restless virgins plays out around the buildup and fallout from dylan' s arrogant and nefarious plot, and pits emily and lucas as hesitant allies who must unite to fight against the power of money in the name of what is right. the problem is, both emily and lucas get caught up in their own selfish desires, and the story becomes more about their relationship than the scandal. the school also ends up being just as corrupt as its students, but it' s not commented on. in fact, most of the interesting issues are passed over, the most unfortunate of which is that while emily seems at first angry at the boys who have built this culture of sexual favors, she is the one who throws a fellow female, and a friend, under the bus in a very public and humiliating way. where is the victory in that ?
anyway, one thing the seniors traditionally do each year is pass something memorable onto the juniors .

i was so close to liking the new lifetime movie restless virgins. but ultimately it fell into the dreaded limbo between ridiculous and legitimate. it’s a curse that has befallen many a lifetime movie before this. sometimes a movie just doesn’t have the blind - lady stalkers or insane surrogates to qualify it as a guilty pleasure, but it’s just not strong enough to warrant a serious review. it’s just kind of there .
stephanie, the adopted daughter of jim cleland, becomes a restless spirit upon the death of her foster father and the concomitant departure of his son jim, whom stephanie has grown to love. jim travels to europe to complete his studies, and stephanie is left in the care of attorney grismer, the executor of cleland' s estate. constantly in the presence of grismer' s son oswald, stephanie develops an affection for the boy, and one night, after circumstances force the two of them to spend the night in a roadhouse, stephanie' s reputation is so compromised that they decide to marry. after the ceremony, stephanie realizes that she does not love her husband, and the two of them live apart. jim returns from europe, and oswald, realizing stephanie' s great love for her foster brother, commits suicide so that stephanie can marry the man she loves .

the lowlight of this giant love - in came that january, when a sophomore girl slid into the locker room for the varsity hockey team and fellated five boys in succession. this story passed from students to parents to the headmaster to prosecutors and the boston globe. the ensuing scandal was devastating for almost everyone involved. the school was nationally embarrassed, and sometimes girls who’ve graduated from milton are asked if they are the serial fellator. the five boys involved were expelled, and the three older ones were charged as adults with statutory rape — charges that were eventually dismissed. controversially, the girl was not expelled. she was placed on administrative leave and eventually transferred .

restless virgins seems unsure about whether it can or should go as far as the wanton sexuality of gossip girl, or if it needs to stay closer to more sanitized abc family fare. ultimately, it ends up muddled. there is one subtle statement though that does shine through: in this age of digital accountability, nothing goes unnoticed, so nothing goes unpunished. that is the biggest lesson to be learned here, and it' s certainly not a bad one. for a lifetime movie (of which i' ve seen many), restless virgins is fine, i just wish that with this particular story it went further. maybe it' s just me. after all, as dylan says (channeling downton abbey' s dowager countess) ,

however, recent evidence suggests that the oyster may have a more direct impact on libido, as a result of some of its other constituents. american research has found that oysters contain the substances d - aspartic acid and n - methyl - d - aspartate (nmda), both of which have the capacity to stimulate the production of testosterone - the hormone believed to have a major influence on the libido of both men and women .
billy sat in his office at jabot, despondently looking out the window. summer entered, and he reminded her that he' d given the whole company the week off. she asked how he was doing, and he grumbled that he' d lost the company yacht in a card game. he referred to how many people thought he didn' t have the maturity to run jabot, and he lamented that he' d proven them right the night before. billy anticipated that the public would find out in the worst possible way and that the bottom line would tank. summer questioned how they could stop it from happening, and billy thought the only way was to win back jaboat before anyone knew he' d lost it .

another nutrient commonly deficient in sufferers of rls and plms is iron. this is important for the production of the brain chemical dopamine, a deficiency of which can cause disturbance in body movement - especially in vegans, vegetarians and women of child - bearing age. iron levels are best assessed by measuring the level of ferritin in the blood. in practice, giving additional iron to those with ferritin levels that are low or on the low side can help to relieve the symptoms of rls and plms. my experience is that for nocturnal fidgeters and their partners, nutritional therapies can be the dream ticket .
billy had a feeling that he had to roll the dice, and he slammed his fists on his desk in frustration. he called phyllis, who suggested that they have a quiet dinner in that evening. he quipped that her cover story didn' t float, and he informed her that summer had told him about the party invitation. billy fibbed that they' d been working at the office when he' d received a message from the captain about some damage on the boat, rendering it unusable for a couple of weeks. phyllis insisted that they change the venue of the party to their home .

a common underlying feature in night - time fidgeting is a condition known as restless legs syndrome (rls), characterised by an uncomfortable sensation in the legs which gives rise to an overwhelming urge to move them. this condition overlaps with another known as periodic limb movements during sleep (plms), in which involuntary jerks of the muscles occur at night. there is evidence that caffeine can worsen or trigger rls symptoms, and my experience in practice is that this seems to be true of plms, too. those suffering from one or both of these conditions may benefit from a reduction or elimination of coffee, tea and caffeinated soft drinks from their diets .
researchers at surrey university inform us that british women get significantly less sleep than men. this may not come as too much of a surprise bearing in mind that it is usually mums who provide the bulk of childcare duties in the night. however, it turns out that a more persistent cause of wakefulness in women is not children, but grown - ups. the study identified the fidgeting of their sleeping partners throughout the night as a frequent factor in female insomnia, saying that the sleep shortage that often ensues can heighten stress and cause conflict in relationships .

by this time, dominic hill’s masterly ensemble production for the citizens and the national theatre of scotland – presented over two performances – has escalated to the level of gothic horror. nikola kodjabashia’s live score of atonal piano chords, scraping percussion and whispering echoes has defined the playing space just as much as ben ormerod’s ravishing lighting from the start. now, it explodes into an unhinged cacophony, alarming and unsettling, an expression of the cruel impasse the characters have reached. a show that begins in jovial spirits with macdonald, cliff burnett and george costigan as a slurry chorus of homeless misfits – who also exhibit symptoms of mental illness, in a society that would sooner sweep them off the streets – reveals itself as a production of depth, ambition and creepy power .
i don’t know why people haven’t learned their lessons about technology’s power to incriminate and embarrass, but the video obviously gets passed around and ends up in emily’s inbox for the paper. she opens it on her phone during an assembly, keeps it open for far longer than is socially normal, and rashly decides it’s the best decision ever to post it online, even though that’s just gross and the girl in the video is her newfound friend who didn’t know she was being recorded. smooth move, emily. look at that girl now! she’s sobbing in the shower with all her clothes on !

ashley found victor in victoria' s office and complained that she' d been trying to get in touch with him all morning. he curtly stated that he' d been busy, and she reported that she' d been trying to calm the nerves of their business associates since the article had been published. victor was sure she' d handled it, but she insisted that they talk about how the company had been under siege since the hacking scandal. she contended that victor hadn' t been the only one affected, since her reputation was on the line, too. victor barked that it was his job to handle it, and she offered her help. he dismissively told her that he' d call her if he needed it .
unsuspecting guests at adelaide' s hilton are about to realise they are adding to the background of an adelaide festival dance production .
it' s not all about spoiled brats with absentee parents trying to humiliate each other, though - - the dialogue between emily and lucas has the feeling of the realistic, casual banter between two high schoolers. maybe it' s because those two actors both appear in the abc family series switched at birth and do have a genuine familiarity. but on her own, the character of emily never really succeeds at being that daria - lite figure (or lindsay lohan' s character from mean girls) that she seems to be modeled after. still, there are a few witty lines amid many clunkers, and despite some confusing character digressions and a large side order of cheese, some legitimately cute moments (like a date at a carnival and a kiss in the rain) .
at crimson lights, phyllis called out to ask sharon to look at her design for an online invitation to
billy' s belated birthday boat bash
that night. sharon admired a photo of the boat, and phyllis enthused that billy was going to love it, although she intended for billy not to know about it until he was on board. phyllis invited sharon to attend, but sharon declined because she wasn' t in a party mood with the possibility that j. t. could be out there. sharon mentioned that she' d installed a better security system, so she was going home after work and locking the door. phyllis lectured that sharon couldn' t stop living life on the off chance that j. t. was alive, but she agreed to delete sharon' s name from the guest list. phyllis sent the rest of the invitations and exclaimed ,
surprise, billy !
in real life, emily would not be one of the loser girls because she’s flat - out gorgeous and smart as can be .
it is a massive moment in the company' s 26 - year history as it looks to secure east coast and overseas tours .
phyllis asked why summer had been at the office when everyone had the week off, and summer fibbed that she' d wanted to show initiative on her project with kyle. ashley arrived and wished billy a happy birthday, and she announced that she had quit newman. the guests discussed victor' s recent press coverage, and ashley explained that she' d been tired of being left in the dark, so she' d walked. she added that she wanted to return to jabot, and phyllis suspiciously asked what position ashley expected to have .
kyle joined ashley and surmised that she had a beef with victor because she hated sharing power. she admitted that it had been part of it, and he questioned why she' d return to jabot when she couldn' t break the glass ceiling. she countered that she could ask him the same thing, and she remarked that the only thing worse than working for a family business was working for someone else' s. ashley recognized that billy was doing a great job, but he was impulsive, and she believed her skill set balanced out his whims. billy overheard and commented that he didn' t need a watchdog, and kyle urged him to consider all the possibilities if he filled the coo position. phyllis reminded everyone that the party was about billy' s birthday. ashley stepped aside to send a text message .

later, victor noted that ashley was working late, and she told him that she' d been waiting for him. she chided him for keeping the company' s problems to himself instead of relying on the people he' d hired to help him, but he insinuated that she seemed to want to help herself. she recognized that his name was in the headlines, but she argued that every article mentioned her prominent role in the company. she felt it was only a matter of time before someone speculated that she' d helped cover up what had happened to j. t .
billy and summer returned home and found that phyllis had decorated the apartment in an aquatic theme .
welcome aboard !
phyllis greeted as she handed them sailor' s caps and offered them homemade grog that she' d made from an online recipe. summer tried the drink and remarked that it was strong, and phyllis indicated that it was rum mixed with more rum. phyllis raced over to answer the door, and summer whispered to billy that they had one another' s backs. phyllis asked if kyle had arrived alone, and he sent regards from jack, who was spending the evening with dina .
“someone made the first move. perhaps one of the boys motioned to zoe, or another told her to begin, or someone else unbuttoned his jeans... . perhaps they realized they were about to make the biggest mistake of their lives. perhaps she paused in that altered reality, no longer hidden and private but suddenly visible, her act so defining, a force snapping her alive. she knew exactly what to do. she kneeled and began. ”
billy left a message for sinead, congratulating her on cleaning him out and asking her to call him to figure everything out. he told summer that he planned to talk sinead into a rematch, but summer panicked when she saw something on her phone. she showed him the invitation to phyllis' surprise party on jaboat, and she realized that they had to stop it. billy acknowledged that the right thing to do would be to tell the truth, but summer begged him not to drag her down with him. he thought there was a small chance he could figure things out by winning the boat back before everything blew up in his face, but she warned that things wouldn' t be good if he lied to her mom and then couldn' t get the boat back .
billy mentioned that jack had sent a text message about dropping the lawsuit, and billy was relieved because he hadn' t been looking forward to a court date with jack and jill on opposite sides. phyllis recognized that it would have been the only way for jack to find out if he was related to phillip, and kyle pointed out that jack wasn' t the only one. summer declared that it was a party, so kyle could worry about his roots later.
