Let's Scare Jessica to Death

One of the best -- most subtle, disturbing, and high on the overall creep factor -- horror movies of the 1970s.  Something about that tagline --"Something is after Jessica ... something very cold, very wet ... and very dead" unnerves me every time.  Please no remake please no remake please no remake ...








Buffy Season 1

Somehow, while I wasn't looking, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the television series that kinda defined my every being in college, turned eighteen.  Here's li'l SMG during its first season.

Today's Catwoman

Brought to you by Julie Newmar.


Death (Still) Becomes Her


"There's a hole in my stomach!  There's a hole in my stomach."


 ERNEST:  She's dead.
MADELINE:  She is?  These are the moments that make life worth living!
 

"That was totally uncalled for."


 "I just want you to know one thing ... you brought this on yourself."


"Ernest ... my ass.  I can see my ass."

King of the Vampires

Sir Christopher.

Whatever Walked There

The most intriguing paragraph in all of literature.





Do You Remember Where You Parked the Car?

Death Becomes Her ... I need a sequel or a television series or a Broadway musical or somethin.


"You're a fraud, Helen, you're a walking lie, and I can see ... right ... through you!"

Seeing Red

This is the look I give my students sometimes.


But in all seriousness, yes, yes, a tragic, tragic episode of Buffy.  Very sad.

Still ...



... I wish my eyes would do that.

Samantha Vs. Jeannie

Thank you, Nick at Nite's Block Party Summer (In Vertivision!), circa 1994, for teaching me that Bewitched is indeed far superior to I Dream of Jeannie.  (Though I'll always love you, Jeannie.  Don't you worry.)

 This painting (by ... um ... Risko?) was published that summer in Entertainment Weekly.  At some point I'll make a poster of it.  'Til then ...


Over the Rainbow

As if The Wizard of Oz wasn't queer enough ...

Whatever this is ... I'd read it, watch it, and love it.  For the luvva Mike, someone please turn this into something I can pay money for!!!

I (Still) Dream of Jeannie

R.I.P. Lesley Gore

Along the sands
Let's walk the shores together now
Yes hand in hand
It's gonna be fair weather
Now when the stars come out
Stop
And count 'em in the sky
Warm California nights ...


She'll always be Pussycat, Catwoman's aide de camp ("That Darn Catwoman" and "Scat! Darn Catwoman") to me.
