Metapost: So It's Come To This

Saturday, May 10, 2008

I don't have a full-fledged post for you, but I have made some edits to past entries that I wanted to list here for convenience. Oh, and to get "The Maltese Bippy" off the top of my blog.

Turner Classic Birdman: I added a new link to a great and lengthy interview with Robert Osborne via Creative Loafing Atlanta. Also, I changed the screencap of Bob Osborne. Getting good cap of him was difficult; until you try to screencap Mr. Osborne, you have no idea how fluid his facial expressions are. In the previous one cap he looked like he was gritting his teeth to get through the intro and outro. In actuality, he seems to be enjoying himself and is clearly in on the joke.

Murder By Television: Did the most work on this one. Cleaned up the writing in a few spots, resized and reorganized pictures, added the poster picture and some "Further Reading" links. This was a post I originally made to a LiveJournal community called the_dingus, which didn't take off because kids these days don't like old films, and no one knows what the dingus is anyway. Durned kids with their bell bottomed denim slacks and hippity hop musics.


The Maltese Bippy: Dammit, here it is again. I've added another paragraph in response to Jack Pendarvis' accurate criticism, and a link to the rec.arts.movies.past-films thread about the film.

Added a new link to a really lovely article by Nicholas Kohler about the late John Harkness at the memorial post here.

Sh! The Octopus: After the post went live, I realized the final paragraphs were missing so I added them.

In The Background: Mrs. Potter: I edited this a couple months ago but thought I'd list it for the sake of completeness. I removed one pic (which showed up later on Unused But Loved) and rearranged the others to make them fit.

CREDITS:
The demotivational poster courtesy ninjaguydan on LiveJournal's film_stills community. Pic unrelated, as the kids these days say.

Picture of the dingus comes from this news article about the replacement for a stolen, genuine dingus, and was originally linked by me in this post about the falcon.

Subject line taken is an homage of "The Simpsons" episode "So It's Come To This: A Simpsons Clip Show".

Re: replacing the falcon;

I haven't been to John's Grill lately to see the new statue, but now I'm gonna have to. There are a couple historic sites in the city related to the book, including the house in which the book was written and a plaque on the spot where Archer was "killed."

If you ever make it to SF, we'll have to meet for a scotch at John's Grill.

I didn't know you were in SF! My husband grew up in San Jose and they'd drive all the way out to SF for vacations, and he loves it. We will have to go out there and meet up sometime!
