    What's for Dinner?

    I did not know half a kilo was nicknamed a metric pound! A pound is actually 453.59 grams, and in Canada at least rounded up to 454 g. Here is "officially metric Canadian" butter ( one pound):

    Withnail's Coat

    Almost certainly one from the production. One coat at the time would not have cost much at all.

    Withnail's Coat

    Considering though that Andrea Galer is not and was not a costume designer for film on a full time basis, and given her love for that project, I suspect she has a better than average recollection of it. Also, she was there. You were not.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Amityville Horror. A young James Brolin and a young Margot Kidder in the film of the "true story" of the haunting of a home. I had forgotten that Meeno Peluce, a once well known child actor, played one of the sons. This scared the hell out of me as a kid. Still a good creepy film! Fun...

    What Shows/Movie Franchises have you "Rage Quit"?

    On YouTube, there is a series called Honest Trailers, spoofing films and shows if they were described honestly. The first one for GoT came out early on, 2012 or so. Even then, they wondered aloud if the author would get around to finishing the series "before eating himself to death".

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    This is sad! He had a good career, but I lways felt bad for him, given the superstardom Hanks went on to. Not that Hanks was undeserving, just to be remembered by many as "the other guy in Bosom Buddies.

    What Shows/Movie Franchises have you "Rage Quit"?

    I had an interesting introduction to the series and books. In 2012, I was vaguely aware there was a book series Song of Ice and Fire. I then heard about the massive new show Game of Thrones ( the title of the first book in the book series, which became the colloquial title by which the genre...

    John Carpenter film festival continues, with his remake of The Thing. It creeped me out as a teen, and love it to this day. "You gotta be f@cking kidding...". If you know the film, you know the scene...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Hallowe'en Cavalcade of Horror continues with John Carpenter's The Fog. I remember renting this on VHS (indeed, we had to rent the VCR itself!) back in the early 80s. One of my favourites, nicely creepy, no gratuitous gore, and of course, Adrienne Barbeau.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Cairo Cavalcade of Hallowe'en Horror, with Frankenweenie, Tim Burton's full-length, black and white motion stop version, with Disney, of his short live action film from 1983 or so, at Disney, for which Disney fired him given the exorbitant cost! A charming film we enjoy each Hallowe'en, though...
