Having more kids is also an option!

Much as I love Wayne Boring, his style did not translate well to Marvel.

I was still picking it up because I had loved the Kane issues, but I wonder how long I would have stuck with it if Starlin had not taken over.

Poster of 1948 John Ford film FORT APACHE.

Tonight's movie is the first, and to my mind, best, of John Ford's Calvary Trilogy.

Fonda plays an awful commander based on Custer and gives a fantastic performance.

And despite having many supporting roles played by his stock company actors, it is much less sentimental than RIBBON and GRANDE.

Once again my lack of close reading skills betrays me.

Ed to Mother Nature:

"Drop Dead!"

Thank you!

I couldn't find a pic online and I thought I was hallucinating the spike.

Poster of 1965 film GAMERA THE GIANT MONSTER.

Tonight's movie answers the age-old question: What if a giant radioactive turtle could fly?

I haven't seen this in almost 50 years, so it should be nostalgic as hell.

And I have the Arrow box sets with the other 11 in the series, so my kaiju needs will be met for a while.

He just wanted to see what Catwoman was up to.

I hate to side with the rich...

Thanks!

I'd love to go back in time to that Expo. I hear a certain Mr. Holmes has quite reasonable accomodations.

Gorgeous building and it immediately brought to mind the 1893 Exposition and the White City.

Are there any more buildings from the Expo still standing? I know most were temporary.

Cover of Willie Nelson album TEATRO.

What better way to start the morning.

Poster of 1945 MGM musical Ziegfeld Follies.

Tonight's movie is a MGM musical from 1945 that features a dance duet between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly when both men were at their peak.

It also has a whip wielding Lucille Ball and a bevy of catwomen.

But I am most curious to see the numbers with Lucille Bremer.

Wake me up when they sell a Blue Bunny for $25.6 million.

Cover of box set of FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION.

I got the international edition if the NYT and it had a different choice.

Mine said it was the 4 films in the FEMALE PRISONER SCORPION series.

Controversial choice in that the fourth one wasn't directed by Shunya Itō, but, if you love a genre, you love a genre.

Poster of Kurosawa's RAN.

Tonight's movie will be watched in the knowledge that one of the greatest actors of his generation is no more.

If you are a Kurosawa fan, he was probably in one of your favourite movies.

And if all you know if him is his work with Akira, please check out his work with Kobyashi.

RIP Nakadai-san.

First and last Leela stories.

Love FACE OF EVIL.

No one seems to like INVASION OF TIME, and I admit it gives Leela short shrift (never mind marriage, she should have led the Outsiders), but I've always thought it was visually interesting and the soundtrack is killer.

Cover of Rickie Lee Jones' first album.

Feel the need to be cool, but who can measure up to this?

I remember in the 70s reading about it and that was the only image available.

To have it readily accessible is a wonder.

Cover of FIESTA, a CD of Latin American music conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.

Going into this one cold.

Don't have more than a surface knowledge of Latin American composers, so at the very least it will be educational.

Cover of Miles Davis LEGENDARY PRESTIGE QUINTET SESSIONS.

A snowy Montreal morning.

Time for some Miles.

And Trane too!

Poster of Roger Corman's THE RAVEN from 1963.

Tonight's movie is a Roger Corman 60s Poe adaptation with a bangup cast.

The film took 15 days to film and Peter Lore adlibbed a lot of lines.

There is a scene of Nicholson driving a team of horses that foreshadows his later acting style.

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."

Just The King in Yellow's.

"Your name the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must be unheard in
Dim Carcosa."

The Sunderland Football Club is known as the Black Cats.

And the people are known as Mackems, Makem, or Mak'ems.

Who knows what the latter means in the tongue of the Great Old Ones.

I was going to post about time being an illusion, but I see I already did that.

And I just got a response on a dating app from someone called "Cassilda of Carcosa".

After being resurrected by a brujo, Bierce can only think of returning to Kennesaw Mountain.

His journey takes him through Louisiana.

Fisticuffs ensue.
