Ed Gein by Alex Grand Ed Gein hit at the perfect moment in 1957, when TV news and photo-heavy magazines could beam a farmhouse of nightmares into every living room. His case offered filmmakers mix-and-match images…

I love the idea of the grandmaster of comics looking at his creations, and acknowledging its beauty, power and grace. Long live Jack Kirby.

We owe so much of our #Marvel #Comics enjoyment to #JackKirby.

#SpiderMan’s costume by Steve Ditko changes the foreshortening art rules that Kirby often used.

There’s something so pure about 1970 comic book fandom. Especially since Jack Kirby was around to interact with it all.

Spider-Man’s life was full of stress from the get go. Nobody captured that as well as his visual creator, Steve Ditko.

Ditko on Hulk!

Honestly I liked it when Ditko or Kirby drew the other’s characters. Sure, Ditko was better on Spidey and Dr Strange while Kirby was better on Thor or Hulk, but I just love a good artistic crossover!

William Powell nails Dashiell Hammett’s Nick Charles, always two steps ahead and tossing off quips between martinis. This 1934 film is an early template for the charming, self-medicating hero that Marvel sharpened decades later in Tony Stark.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a sparkling snapshot of 1961 Manhattan, lifted by Audrey Hepburn & George Peppard’s chemistry. It sets the template that Sex and the City would modernize. Henry Mancini’s Moon River is the film’s beating heart. Rooney’s Mr. Yunioshi portrayal remains indefensible.

Flower Drum Song (1962) is a vibrant adaptation of C.Y. Lee’s 1957 novel The Flower Drum Song, the basis for Rodgers and Hammerstein’s hit musical. Nominated for five Academy Awards. the 1st major Hollywood feature to showcase a majority Asian-American cast in a contemporary story. Nancy Kwan!

Loved the cast but Ann Margret’s searing eyes stole the show. Weird to see Joan Blondell who really struck me in Gold Diggers of 1933.

Loved hail the conquering hero. Morgan creek was funnier but this movie had a real touching beautiful punchline

Walter Matthau really kicks a$$ in Charley Varrick. It’s a crime film that literally goes upside down. You gotta love a ratings system that shows an incredible amount of bank robbery and mafia based violence then gives it a PG rating. I love the 70s!

One of the best romantic comedies. Betty Hutton is magnetically hilarious and Eddie Bracken feels like Jiminy Cricket made human. Two thumbs up.
