I’m just glad Methuselah outlived him- he was in the aquarium when Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth filmed there!

Looks kinda similar to one of the three theatres I visited during the 3 months in 1993 I stayed with my Minneapolis uncle. (Haunted record stores much more than cinemas back then.) The other two were the Parkway & the Mall of America plex, & I thought the third was in St. Paul but perhaps it wasn’t?

Safe to say a cast of (mostly) unknowns like Nouvelle Vague’s has no chance, no matter how uncanny they are in their roles as real people many voters would be familiar with?

Generally I buy direct from Criterion, Warner Archive, Severin, Kino, etc. or else at thrift stores, discount stores, or Bull Moose (a New England chain that I have not learned anything evil about thus far.)

A 16mm print of Bimbo’s Initiation sold on eBay this weekend for around $120, I’m told.

He was my first thought too. Then I thought: “cameos?” And realized there was an easy way to get almost every single Alfred Hitchcock movie onto this island. Might go that route…

I’ve seen all those, or close anyway (my moose was in Utah, and my hornbills were Great in Thailand rather than Rhino in Borneo) besides the albatross. Would love to see one of those someday- what a magnificent bird!

I remember the tour being promoted on the Dr. Demento show and wishing I knew how to go to a concert at age 14.
