I saw one reviewer call WWII movies “dad bait.” Victim as charged. This time on Netflix.

Kristel Makes it Clear
Well, that’s it. After a very successful series of reunion shows, Kristel Verbeke, now 50 years old, has made it official. Kristel has announced that, with Karen and Kathleen, the original line-up of the Europop trio K3 have performed together for the final time.
The Death of CBS
Thanks to this weblog, I was named as a member of the CBS family. I must now renounce that honor.
More Mooning
As I wait for the release of the new Blu-ray of the restored Destination Moon from 1950, my buddy Bismo turned me onto a much more recent take on a Moon mission. Simply titled Moon, this 2009 movie with Sam Rockwell is top-notch Sci-Fi.
The less you know going in, the better. So, just go straight into the movie. Sorry, I can’t embed it here.
Boeing Goes Boing Again
The collapse happened in Frankfurt. Maybe Boeing can blame it on sabotage by an Airbus operative.
Tigress With a Bobcut
This is the supremely sexy and tempting Louise Brooks, on the prowl in Ocala, Florida, one hundred years ago.
Louise was sporting her famous “bob” haircut, a style that was actually popularized in the Roaring Twenties by flapper girl Colleen Moore. Prue’s old friend Vidal Sassoon brought the bob cut back into fashion during the Sixties.
From 1926, It’s the Old Army Game was filmed in various locations. Ocala is of particular interest because that was the hometown of Prue’s late friends Mike O’Neal and his actor brother Patrick. Also, I thought one of my blog followers might be interested in seeing a bit of Ocala as it was so long ago.
Here’s the complete movie, from the year Joe Sinnott was born. W.C. Fields co-stars with Louise.
And here’s the entire record that gets clipped short in the first video. The song ‘The Very Thought of You’ is heard prominently in Casablanca.
