nice shot, sis!

man, i don't have a lot to post tonight, and i'm a little bit pre- occupied because i might be going to visit my mate jean-lucien this weekend. and, as he's my true love and twin brother, i thought i'd mark my place tonight with one of the coolest boy-girl twin pairs in interglactic history. it is, of course, luke and leia from 'a new hope,' making good their escape from the death star. i like this picture. on first sight, i thought it had an almost-fake look to it. but, the closer i looked at it, i couldn't detect any photographic evidence that it wasn't legit, like an actual still-shot taken during the staging and filming of this scene. so dig it, and i'll be back as soon as i can. i love you all. and may the force be with you.

rosemary's poster

hey, i'm a girl that digs two things: rare japanese movie posters, and the 1968 roman polanski spooky flick, 'rosemary's baby.' so you know when i saw this poster on a pearldive, you know i had to snag it. i think its actually quite pretty, and i've seen the movie like, more times than i've seen rocky horror, (literally) so it doesn't even give me the genuine creaps anymore. like, i know all the dialogue so well i could easily interact with it. so yeah, i would have this poster in my house. it looks like it would go well in the bathroom with some sea green and pink decorative soaps. very cool.

happy birthday darling roy

yes, i know its a bit late... like, its after midnight, so its technically tuesday, but monday, november 10th, would've been roy scheider's 76th birthday. and what can i say about dear roy? my hot chief brody. the celebrity birthday site describes him as: '...amity's heroic police chief martin brody.' and who can argue with that? i suppose i should say he was also excellent in 'the french connection,' 'klute,' and 'all that jazz.' but my heart belongs to chief brody. i found this photo today, and i'm tempted to classify it as 'rare,' on the grounds that i know i've never seen it before. so, wherever you are tonight, sweet roy, just remember i'm blowing a kiss. you can protect my 'tourist' swimming bod on 'those beaches' anytime. and hey, i wouldn't exactly say no to a little 'mouth-to-mouth,' if you know what i mean.

duran smash!

yes, its yet another 80's pop fan magazine! this one appears to be a smash hits from the year... well, it says october, 1981. and you can tell from the pic of the durans, who seem to be dressed like flash pseudo-soldiers of the scarf brigade. (?) lets see, who wins this 'ragged' horse race? at first glance, its looks like a three-way tie. (john, nick, and simon.) to be honest, i don't even see roger and andy when i look at this one. well, nick looks cute, but he can look cuter. and i think the same thing goes for john, so i think i'm gonna have to give it to the hot, headband-wearing simon le bon. i love the pose, and facially, he looks great. okay, with the horserace out of the way, lets see what else this cover boasts. actually, there's not much to poke fun at. most of the artists mentioned at the bottom are still pretty cool in my book. but the '3 way' poster fold-out including adam ant, spandau ballet, and the police is sort of funny. like, is it all on one like, piece of paper? hey, here's hoping you have enough teenage wallspace, roight!

the good witch

glenda, glenda jackson ladies and gentlemen. thanks to the good ol' HBO guide of the late 70's and early 80's, its hard for me to remember a time when i didn't know the name 'glenda jackson.' and now that i'm 'all grown up,' i realize what a treasure she is. if you've never seen her oscar-nominated performance in 'women in love,' then wow, you're missing some excellent work. and she's so lovely, and smart. she may be 'lovely and smart' personified, now that i think about it. god, that sounds corny, but i think you can dig what i mean. she's got it all... she's brunette, she's got that silky deep voice, a face the camera loves, and she's not afraid to 'bare it and share it,' ...i fact, i think i read somewhere that she was the first woman to go nude on the british stage. you can see some of her best work in ken russell's 'women in love,' (as i mentioned;) as well as ken russell's 'the music lovers.' she kills in that one. she's also memorable in russell's 'salome's last dance.' a very good witch indeed. she's roight class, she is.

creepy mod

jean-lucien just sent me this little picture today. i think its a scream. having been born in 1972, i am very familiar with this 'style-and-or-genre' of illustration. apparently this funky little guy was part of the cover to some 'mod' board game. jean-luc cropped it and just sent me this little lad. i love the 'groovin' pose he's in. and i love the 'i'm doing some serious 'now' dances,' facial expression. i don't think i actually had this kind of thing hanging in my room as a child. i seem to remember some holly hobbie, but not a lot of this stuff. but in fairness, i'd say its pretty well drawn. kinda creepy...and funky!

albert finney

if asked, i suppose i'd classify myself as a big albert finney fan. i mean, i haven't seen very much of his work, but i've always thought he was excellent in what i have seen. of course, as a young american child, i saw him manage to maintain his diginity as daddy warbucks in that flailing, misguided trash-heap 'annie.' and not so long after that, i saw him as 'sir' in the 1983 peter yates film 'the dresser.' his performance in that film is nothing short of volcanic. (although it might need to be said that tom courtenay's performance as 'norman' is the real anchor that holds that story in place.) anyway, here's a shot of a younger albert in what i would be willing to bet was his natural habitat. like, i wouldn't be at all surprised if oliver reed was somewhere jussst out of the frame. he looks loike he loikes 'is ale, eh wot? he's sort of a cutie with his carefree lucky smile and his cig hangin' on. hey, albert, hows about a round of darts with mr. reed and um... mr. roy kinnear? (mmm, who let roy kinnear in here?) sigh... i wish there were more quality 'shots-from-the-60's' out there. but hey, i hope you dig this one as much as i do.

idol ...worship?

no, i don't think i ever 'worshipped' billy idol. i think i can go as far as to say i did 'dig some of ' his stuff. so, i've been diving for fresh images all night, with 'kill bill' playing over my shoulder. so this might be the only thing i post tonight. i'd love to have more for you, but i've gotta replenish my stock sometimes. so i know i couldn't go wrong with a star hits cover. let's see... this one features 'stars in swimsuits.' and there's a shot of john 'skinnyshanks' taylor. i've seen him in a swimsuit. and then i woke up. what else? madonna showing her belly button. (som'm new for her, man...!) and hit songs from the nerds of 'tears for fears' and the non-group 'power station. (hey, i guess that's not fair. i mean, robert palmer and tony thompson were in that 'non'-group.) so dig it.

sunday comix

yeah, i still don't have a lot to post like, volume-wise, but i ran across this and i thought it was a scream. due to the tricking, you can't read much of the magazine's 'features,' but trust me, you're not missing much. and i seriously doubt pretty paulie actually 'bared all' if you know what i mean. i certainly don't remember seeing his 'private stock' at any time. but i love that coy, contrived look on his face. its like, '...hey, you might think i'm in this thing naked, but the only thing i gave up is a snooze-inducing, ho-hum interview!' so dig it, and i'll be back soon. love.
