The Sin of Nora Moran

Does anyone else remember The Sin of Nora Moran? I saw it years ago either on VHS or TV - this is the only clip I can find at the moment.

And I can't do a post that involves Zita Johann without a picture from 'The Mummy' -

Alice in Tellyland

Mitchum on Cavett

Here's a guy who has no problem relating all the fucked up stuff that shaped him. Plus back then if you weren't buzzed, bombed or stoned when you went on a talk show, you weren't doing it right.

Chain Gang:



Shitting in stuff in high school:



Weed & Fights:



A different breed of cat:

I have seen 3/4ths of this.......

......the rest? Tonight. The story evokes issues like immigration, AIDS, race, you name it, wherever two populations must coexist, with one being a minority. So far it's beautifully done, if the end sucks, I will atone tomorrow. But I don't think it will/

Jawohl, Keep your Sunny Side Up, Mein Freunde.

"Dear Bobbie"

Read Stephen Bowie's tribute to Roberta Collins.

My new "roi du comedie" nomination..

I love Steve Coogan! I know he's hot now that he's BFF with Ben Stiller, but I've been a fan for years (thanks, BBC America). I think I'm one of the few hundred people who've actually gone to see "Hamlet 2", mainly because I'll see Mr. Coogan in just about anything...including bad commercials:


I think he has an amazing face that can look horrible or handsome, and he has some hot dance moves:


Okay, he's no Tom Jones...

Theatre of Blood

I haven't seen this since I was a child - it scared the life out of me - but I'm ready to watch it again now because I obviously didn't appreciate the humour back then (and I don't think I was prepared for the gruesome killings which kept me awake at night for a long time after).
It also explains why the guy from the Eurythmics always freaked me out too.

Roberta - oh no!

A friend sends the news of Roberta Collins' untimely death.

Damn. She lived near me, and I knew it, but I didn't want to bother her. Now I wish I had, if only to talk about The Big Doll House and Death Race 2000. She didn't even make it to see the remake.


Roberta and Pam tusslin' in the mud!



Here's more gorgeous pix.
