Hedy Lamarr is getting an honorary grave on Vienna's main cemetery! :w00t:

I shall celebrate by watching Blazing Saddles this weekend.

One final Fleisher cartoon - pre-Boop.

This one is, if possible, even more bizzare and horrific than Bimbo's Initiation - gaze upon the terror that is Swing you sinners!, in which poor Bimbo discovers the hard way that the universe he inhabits truly lacks a loving and forgiving God.  :(

Finally catching up on Arrow, which is back to being my favorite show.

Any show that can manage to work in the line "It is pitch black.  You are likely to be eaten by a grue." absolutely wins in my book.
Experience bij!


The Brain

Letters from Iwo Jima. Certainly better than Flags of our Fathers, but it has some issues.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I worked my way through season 2. Entertaining and liked it. They could tone down the angst a little.

Bullitt. Manly entertainment.

I tried the first episode of the flash. It hurt my head.
That a dhow can be a spin off of and see arrow as the bigger and established show... The mind boggles

I was watching bits of that the other day on TCM.  McQueen in that and Damian Lewis (Winters from Band of Brothers) could be identical twins.

He's right though. Flash was always better known, he was a key player in the Superfriends cartoon and everything.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

No, I meant he could stop typing.

Have you seen "Following" and if so, your thoughts?

First part is "not yet," and will have to answer at some point in the near future, like the next 24 hours, since I've been intending on watching Following and now am a little obliged to.

Right now I just wanted to ask if Cel has any colorful anecdotes about Nacho Vigalondo's Open Windows.  He's hooked into that whole scene.  Anyone on that project owe you money? :P

The actual question is if this is becoming a big thing in Spain (and perhaps Europe generally), "this" being neo-classicist Hitchcock/De Palma-inspired thrillers, or if it's just kind of coincidence that Maniac, Grand Piano, and Open Windows were all made around the same time.  (I'm including Maniac, even though it's a French film, and a remake, for its clear line of descent from Psycho and the participation of Elijah Wood; I'm aware stretching a bit to get to three.)

Ide, who's the mother-fucking pinhead that taught you this baroque curly cue writing style?

I know it was while you were in shyster training.

Is there some superduper extra deluxe director's cut of The Godfather out there?  Swear I just saw about 10 scenes I've never seen before.
