Which Decade?

No, this is NOT from a Saturday Night Live sketch back in the 70s.

Virtually everything about this photo (from Sunday, December 12, 2010's Face the Nation program) looks like it was taken in the 1970s. It's got it all... brown suit, mustache and a really nice back drop.

We Got 'im!

Breath a sigh of relief, and sleep easy this night, America, knowing that We Got 'im!!!

Yep, the WikiRapist is in custody and the United States is once again safe from the reckless, dangerous actions of yet another insane mad man.

We couldn't really get Julian Paul Assange, the famed spokesperson and editor in chief for WikiLeaks on any charge that had to do with posting other people's emails (a.k.a. cables), so thank God, he is ALSO a rapist!

This comes as GREAT news for all of us whose lives were endangered by the traitorous actions of this sexual deviant--and that's ALL of you, America.

I am positive sure that when authorities (the good guys... the United States government) finally gets a look inside this pervert's computer, they'll for sure find child pornography to boot--because that's the profile of these treacherous computer hacker types who publish America's secrets. This guy is so textbook he's a cliche.

We all owe a debt of gratitude to the Swedes for finding that crazy condom loophole in the rape laws that allowed for the rape charges to be re-instated, even after the women Assange allegedly raped had the nerve to say they were not raped by him at all and that the intimate enterprise was indeed consensual (those stupid broads don't realize that America's security is far more important than any vaginal technicality which they may wish to throw in our faces).

Now we see why laws that, when read out of the context of the needs of the U.S.A., which may seem inane, are, in the long run, actually important to have in a pinch like this, when the most powerful country in the history of the planet comes calling.

And a shout out to our British lackeys, I mean honorary compatriots, who are helping secure America by holding this sick, treasonous bastard for us until we finally get him back in America where he belongs, and where the swift, merciless water board of justice will swoop down upon him, prying his tongue loose of his sources and once again pulling the blanket of security over out heads.

Happy Thanksgiving - Light Up!

A 1936 Camel cigarette ad published in Life magazine advised readers to smoke at least one cigarette between each course at their Thanksgiving dinner. You know, “for digestion’s sake.”

To be honest, I'm not sure what's really the worst for you here, smoking the cigarettes or eating the meal they describe...

From the ad:

OFF TO A GOOD START — with hot spiced tomato soup. And then–for digestion’s sake–smoke a Camel right after the soup.

THE MAIN EVENT — The time-honoured turkey of our forefathers–done to a crisp and golden brown–and flanked by a mountain of ruby cranberry jelly. By all means enjoy a second helping. But before you do–smoke another Camel. Camels ease tension. Speed up the flow of digestive fluids. Increase alkalinity. Help your digestion to run smoothly.

DOUBLE PAUSE — First–for the crisp refreshment of a Waldorf Salad–then–once again, for the sheer pleasure of Camel’s costlier tobaccos. This double pause clears the palate–and sets the stage for desert.

WHAT WILL YOU HAVE FOR DESSERT? — Reading in a circle, there’s luscious Pumpkin Pie… Mince Pie a la mode… layer cake with inch-deep icing… a piping-hot Plum Pudding… and Camels to add the final touch of comfort and good cheer. For when digestion proceeds smoothly, you experience a sense of ease and well-being.

SO TO A HAPPY ENDING — over coffee and your after-dinner Camels. Enjoy Camels–every mealtime–between courses and after eating–and you can lean back in your chair feeling on top of the world.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Amazing David Lynch/Dune Footage!

Sean Young shot some AMAZING behind the scenes footage in 1983 while on the set of David Lynch's Dune. Check it out... INCREDIBLE!

RE: Themed Movie Triple Feature 01

Did you guess the common thread among the three films...?

Fractured narrative timeline.

Each of these films is often cited for telling its story in non-chronological fashion.

Themed Movie Triple Feature 01

Hey, kids:

Today I'm introducing a new feature: Themed Movie Triple Features. I'll be suggesting three movies I think you should check out for a combination of their artistic, entertainment, and historic importance.

The three movies share a common theme -- BUT, I won't be telling you what it is (right off the bat); thought it'd be fun if you can take a guess. In a day or so I'll reveal what the theme (as I see it) is... who knows, maybe you'll spot other/different things the films have in common.

Here's your first Themed Movie Triple Feature:

1. Citizen Kane (1941; dir. Orson Welles)

2. The Killing (1956; dir. Stanley Kubrick)

3. Pulp Fiction (1994; dir. Quentin Tarantino)

Happy viewing!

David Lynch Gets a Fancy Medal!

My film hero, David Lynch, was awarded this fancy-schmancy medal from some Germans for his lifetime (even though he's still alive and still working) achievement in Film.

While interviewed for the award, he said he still hasn't caught an idea for a new film (Inland Empire, 2006, was Dave's last film). He is working on a doc about the Maharishi and tearing up the canvas like a paintin' fool, in addition to snappin' off some photo work.

Next Saturday, The Germans are giving Dave ANOTHER prize! He's getting the Goslar Kaiserring, an artistic achievement award (previous recepients include Willem de Kooning and Cristo).
