Interested in almost everything. Comics, cinema and Old Time Radio are current obsessions.
Tonight's movie is Michael Mann's first film and one I've been meaning to see for years.

I've been listening to the Tangerine Dream soundtrack since it came out in 1981, but somehow I kept missing my opportunity to see it.

Really looking forward to seeing Tuesday Weld.

Tonight's movie is Seijun Suzuki's first Cinemascope film from 1958.

According to the packaging, "This wildly inventive early noir sees him infectiously playing with genre rules and gender stereotypes".

Sounds fun!

Tonight's movie is Abbott and Costello's first film appearance.

I've never seen it, but I imagine they won't have much of a presence in it, but it has songs by Jerome Kern, so that should be interesting.

And it's always fun to see Bill Frawley.

RIP Udo Kier.

Unforgettable in BLOOD FOR DRACULA.

"The blood of these whores is killing me!"

And FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN.

Picked up all 10 volumes of BAREFOOT GEN for a dollar each.

I've been meaning to read this ever since I read a review of it in THE COMICS JOURNAL in the early 80s.

Now there is no excuse.

(While doing alt-text it changed to DEN D'HIROSHIMA. Now I am imagining Corben drawing it.)

40 years since CALVIN AND HOBBES began.

Before Hobbesian meant that you thought life was "nasty, brutish and short."

After...

Cover for ashcan edition of AMAZING ADVENTURES.

Ziff-Davis produced this to test the market interest for comics.

It was 8 pages and was sent to subscribers of their SF magazines.

The two stories inside were by Alex Schomburg and Ogden Whitney.

Tonight's movie is the third in Luchino Visconti's "German" trilogy.

I'll be watching the 4 hour and 17 minute cut that has been split into 5 parts so I can also watch Ken Burns' AMERICAN REVOLUTION series.

Looking forward to seeing Romy Schneider reprise her role of Elizabeth "Sissi" of Austria.
