STAR WARS - The PAPERBACK...


Copyright relevant owner

I thought STAR WARS fans out there might be interested in this '70s paperback, which is currently on eBay.  And guess what - it's personally autographed by DARTH VADER (and also the GREEN CROSS CODE MAN) himself, DAVE PROWSE.  It's a nice little collectors' item if you loved the movie, to be sure.

May the Force be with you!
   

JIM REEVES - A FALLEN STAR...



Here's the late, great JIM REEVES looking as if he's appearing in The MAN From U.N.C.L.E.  Listen to the following ballad to see why Jim was dubbed 'Mr. VELVET'.  I may have linked to it before, but, if so, it's still worth another outing.

(Just checked - don't think I have.)

MAKE 'EM LAUGH...


Copyright relevant owner

Here's a page from the 1976 PINK PANTHER Holiday Special.  Clever, witty, and funny - which anyone of any age can appreciate.  Is it just me, or are most of today's comics for kids falling short of this standard of humour?  In fact, are they even funny anymore?  Feel free to question my parentage in the comments section.

STRANGE & KARLOFF...



Here's a photo of GLENN STRANGE as the FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER and BORIS KARLOFF as Dr. GUSTAV NIEMANN from the 1944 UNIVERSAL movie, The HOUSE Of FRANKENSTEIN.  Strange was the tallest Frankie monster ever (certainly at that time), as (sans built-up boots) he towered over Karloff in real life.  Often you'll see articles about Karloff's portrayal of the monster illustrated by photos of Strange (as well as photos of Strange as the monster attributed to Karloff), so it makes a nice change to see the two of them together.
